If you’re still buying groceries and household items without earning rewards, you’re missing an easy way to save. Moi Rewards helps you accumulate points on everyday purchases at Metro and Food Basics so you can get money back on groceries, wellness items and more.
All you need is the My Metro or Food Basics app and a free Moi Rewards card. At checkout, open the app, display your personal barcode and scan it to collect points on eligible purchases. The app also delivers personalized offers based on your shopping habits, so the more you shop and scan, the more targeted savings you’ll receive. Those tailored deals make it easier to earn additional points and reduce your grocery bills.
As of Oct. 24, 2024, Moi Rewards is available at 277 Metro and Food Basics locations, expanding the program’s reach across participating stores in Ontario. Below is a clear guide to how Moi Rewards works and practical tips to get the most from the program.
What is Moi Rewards?
Moi Rewards is a digital loyalty program that replaces a traditional points card with a barcode in your store app. Before you pay, pull up the barcode in the My Metro or Food Basics app and scan it at the register to add points to your account. Metro shoppers receive an extra 1 point for every $3 spent, and all members can collect points through personalized offers, weekly in-store or flyer promotions, and exclusive contests at participating Metro and Food Basics stores.
Points convert to dollars: every 500 points equals $4 in savings. You can redeem those dollars at checkout or bank points for larger redemptions later. The structure is designed for flexibility, allowing you to redeem in $1 increments once you’ve reached the minimum 500-point threshold rather than waiting for preset tiers.
Who owns Metro and Food Basics?
Metro and Food Basics are part of Metro Inc., a major Canadian grocery retailer with stores in Ontario and Quebec. Because both chains belong to the same company, the Moi Rewards program works at either banner, letting shoppers earn and redeem across participating locations.
How do I redeem Moi Rewards?
Redeeming Moi Rewards is straightforward and frequent shoppers will find the program’s low minimum attractive. Once you reach 500 points (worth $4), the app or the cashier will offer to apply your rewards at checkout, reducing the total on groceries, wellness or beauty items. If you prefer, you can save points for a larger purchase—perfect for holiday meals or bulk shopping trips.
Because redemptions can be made in $1 increments after the 500-point minimum, you can flexibly choose how much of your points to use at any visit. To maximize the value of your points, review the personalized coupons inside the app each week and pair them with weekly store deals to stretch your budget further.
How do I get and use Moi coupons?
The My Metro and Food Basics apps learn your preferences the more you shop and scan. That means you’ll receive personalized coupons tailored to the products you buy most often—snacks, household staples or favourite personal-care brands—delivered directly to your account when offers are available.
To add coupons, sign in to your store app, go to the “my coupons” section and add the offers you want to use. Then present your Moi Rewards barcode at checkout to apply both coupons and points. If you prefer, you can also register your Moi Rewards number on the programme website so offers and coupons are tied to your account (this is typically a one-time step).
Can I boost my rewards?
You can increase your rewards by linking an eligible bank card that partners with Moi Rewards. For example, connecting an RBC Avion Rewards card in the app and paying with the linked RBC card at checkout can earn you additional points: Moi Rewards points for in-store purchases and Avion Rewards points that are redeemable with other partners for travel, fuel and more. To link your card, log into your banking portal, enter your Moi Rewards number and follow the prompts to connect your cards. Points will begin accumulating on your next eligible purchase.
Practical tips to maximize savings:
- Regularly open the app before shopping to view personalized coupons and weekly flyer deals.
- Scan your barcode at every checkout to ensure you earn points and redeem coupons.
- Combine coupons with points redemptions for larger savings on items you already buy.
- If you shop at both Metro and Food Basics, use the same Moi account so points and offers stay consolidated.
