Montreal, September 14, 2010 – Metro is pleased to announce the province¬-wide launch of its metro&moi rewards program. The simple and advantageous program will be implemented gradually between September 16 and 30 in all Metro and Metro Plus stores across Quebec. It will enable customers to earn ‘m’ points that will lower their grocery bill.
"The straightforward metro&moi program is our way of thanking our customers for their patronage by giving them the opportunity to save on their grocery bill. They will collect ‘m’ points for every dollar spent, every day. There will be bonus offers, both in-store and in the weekly circular, giving customers the chance to earn up to 10 times more ‘m’ points. In addition to the points earned with each purchase, members will receive customized offers on their favourite brands and products," said Marc Giroux, V.P. Marketing at Metro Inc.
The first phase of the metro&moi program, launched in 26 stores in the greater Quebec City area in April, was an unequivocal success. The results exceeded objectives, and Metro is confident that the program will be well received throughout the province. An Ipsos Descarie survey conducted from July 8 to 15 among members of the metro&moi program in Quebec City found that 94% were satisfied with the program.
Customers can sign up right now for the metro&moi program free of charge at metro.ca or in stores.
