All you need is the My Metro or Food Basics app (wherever you shop!) and a free Moi Rewards card. Just scan the barcode in your app at the checkout counter and you’ll earn points that you can redeem for free groceries. Plus, you’ll have access to special personalized deals at your fingertips based on what you buy most often. That’ll go a long way to helping you earn even more points and save even more money.
As of Oct. 24, 2024, you can earn points in a whopping 277 Metro and Food Basics stores, which makes it even easier to save. Here’s what you need to know about how Moi Rewards works so you can start saving, too.
What is Moi Rewards?
Think of Moi Rewards as a digitized version of a points card. When you’re about to pay, just pull up your individual barcode from the app (My Metro or Food Basics app) and scan it at the checkout to accumulate points for your haul. Metro shoppers earn an additional 1 point for every $3 spent, and all members can quickly and easily get points on personalized offers, weekly in-store or flyer deals, and exclusive contests at Metro and Food Basics stores across Ontario.
For every 500 points, you’ll earn $4 in savings. When you’re ready, you can redeem your earnings and start building your points back up.
Who owns Metro and Food Basics?
Glad you asked. Food Basics and Metro are Canadian supermarket chains owned by Metro Inc., which is the third-largest grocery retailer in Canada and has locations in Quebec and Ontario. That’s why Moi works at both retailers.
How do I redeem Moi Rewards?
Moi Rewards offers the lowest threshold to redemption among grocery retailers. Meaning, it’s the loyalty program that allows members to redeem their points fastest. Points can be redeemed as soon as you reach 500 points (worth $4). The app or cashier will prompt you to redeem them at the checkout for dollars off your groceries and/or wellness and beauty products. Or you can store your points and save up for a bigger purchase, like a big holiday meal at the end of the year.
Moi Rewards is all about flexibility. Once you’ve reached 500 points (or $4), you’re able to redeem points in $1 increments, rather than predetermined tiers that can take a while to reach, like you might see with other loyalty programs.
If you want to maximize your rewards potential, explore the personalized coupons in your app, which are selected for you every week based on your favourite products. Don’t forget to continue checking weekly store flyers, too, so you can save big on other go-to goodies.
