The offer allows customers to collect digital stamps when spending over £10 in-store, which can then be exchanged for premium Pyrex items.
However, shoppers must redeem their stamps by the end of the day or they'll vanish – even if they've already qualified for them.
Available only in Morrisons supermarkets, the promotion is not valid for online orders, Click & Collect, Morrisons Daily stores, petrol stations, Amazon, or Gibraltar branches.
The free gifts up for grabs include a variety of Pyrex kitchen staples – such as round and rectangular dishes in multiple sizes, and even a branded hand pump.

Lilly Chattoe, Senior Loyalty Marketing Manager at Morrisons, said:
'Our More Card Stamps loyalty program has been incredibly popular, with fans of the Pyrex range being quick to collect their stamps in exchange for a product or two, or more.
"As we reach the final week of the offer, we're reminding customers that haven't yet redeemed their stamps to do so quickly before it runs out.'
To take part, shoppers must be signed up to the More Card scheme, either via the app or using a physical card.
Stamps can be viewed through the app or printed on receipts.
Morrisons recently revamped its loyalty scheme to focus more on personalised offers, digital tracking, and limited-time rewards, making it easier for shoppers to get value from their weekly shop.
However, it also means shoppers must keep an eye on expiry dates and promotional cut-offs.
Loyalty schemes across the UK retail sector have been shifting in recent months.
Tesco shoppers were forced to switch to the new Grocery & Clubcard app earlier this year, or risk losing points.
Meanwhile, Sainsbury's moved away from its popular Nectar Double Up event, and Boots cut back on its Advantage Card points – all leaving customers feeling short-changed.
Many shoppers have called for clearer communication and more reminders from retailers when loyalty scheme deadlines are approaching.
Missed deadlines can mean lost rewards, no matter how many points or stamps have been earned.
To avoid missing out, Morrisons customers should check their app or receipts today and head to their nearest participating store before closing time to redeem any remaining stamps.

Morrisons orders head office staff to work full time

Morrisons has ordered staff working in its head office back to their desks five days a week as the supermarket battles to revive its fortunes. The supermarket is understood to have told its employees based at its headquarters in Bradford that they must work a full five-day week after abandoning a policy which allowed staff to work compressed hours. Previously, staff were required to work 37.5 hours over four and a half days under a flexible working week pilot which the supermarket kicked off in 2020. The decision to revert back to five day weeks, which came into force this month, comes as bosses step up a drive to reinvigorate the supermarket as it loses customers to rivals including Aldi. Rami Baitiéh, who took over as Morrisons chief executive in late 2023, has been spearheading a turnaround effort. Last week, the supermarket said sales grew 4.2pc to £3.9bn in the 13 weeks to April 27, versus a year earlier. Mr Baitiéh said the figures showed it had 'bounced back strongly' after cyber issues in November. However, data from Kantar showed Morrisons' share of the grocery market dipped to 8.4pc in May compared to 8.6pc a year earlier. The head office changes are expected to help Morrisons cope with mounting competition from rivals as they step up a price war. Both Asda and Tesco have said they are expecting profits to take a hit this year as they invest heavily on price cuts. A spokesman for Morrisons said the head office changes would improve customer service and make sure its shelves are better stocked in stores. They added: 'In the context of a relentlessly competitive UK grocery market and widespread increased cost pressures, we have taken the difficult decision to ask our head office colleagues to move their working pattern from 4.5 days to a full five day week.' Staff will still be allowed to work both from home and the office during the week, and individuals may be able to work flexibly if they need to do so. It marks the latest shake-up of Morrisons' office working policy. In 2020, the supermarket introduced a four-day working week for head office workers, saying the change would 'make Morrisons a place where more people will want to join and stay'. Under the scheme, head office workers were asked to work on Saturdays once every four weeks. However, last year, Morrisons said it was changing its requirements following complaints from staff over having to work over the weekend. As part of the update, head office staff switched to a four and a half day week and were not asked to work any Saturdays. Morrisons' rivals have also scaled back flexible working policies since the pandemic. Last year, Asda scrapped its pilot after managers said a 44-hour week over four days trial left them exhausted. Domestic & General, a household appliance specialist employing 3,000 people, said it had received similar feedback from staff following a test of a four-day week. However, a four-day working week policy has received support from some in the Government, with Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, previously saying: 'If you can deliver within a four-day working week, then why not?' The Government later said this would not be part of its policy plans. Meanwhile, last year, the UK's first medical trial of a four-day working week suggested that there could be benefits to compressing hours. In the study, conducted by the University of Sussex, the policy was found to make employees happier and healthier. However, the company involved in the trial, Thrive, opted against adopting a four-day week full-time after its business suffered. The study found that the policy created some problems 'at a business level, particularly when it came to providing customer service'.

In Indianapolis, with largest U.S. Burmese population, tariffs and travel ban hit hard

In Indianapolis, Than Hre, the Burmese-born owner of Chin Brothers Restaurant & Grocery, stands behind his counter tallying receipts that tell the story of a business under pressure. Over the past year, he says, the profit margin for his restaurant and grocery business has dropped from around 35% to about 10% as tariffs and shipping costs have driven up the price of rice and Burmese staples by as much as 40%. The same is true for numerous other businesses in Indianapolis, the city with the largest Burmese community in the United States, at 30,000 people, according to the Burmese American Community Institute. Tariffs on importing Myanmar goods have risen to 45%, driving up the cost of staples like rice and spices and creating significant challenges for Burmese businesses across the United States. 'It's hard because we cannot increase the prices, yet if we do, we're going to lose customers,' said Hre, 48. On top of the tariff toll, it has been a struggle for Burmese in the United States as the travel ban blocks nearly all travel and immigration from Myanmar, halting family reunifications and student visas as the country faces civil war and forced conscription. The emotional toll is compounded by the civil war in Myanmar, which has made communication with relatives nearly impossible because of frequent Wi-Fi blackouts and government crackdowns, according to Tha Zi, owner of Mommy Thai, an Asian restaurant serving Burmese, Chinese and Thai food in a a small, family-run spot on the Southside of Indianapolis. 'Sometimes the Wi-Fi is cut off for days,' Zi said, making it nearly impossible to check whether her relatives are safe. She said that her cousin was supposed to come to the United States for college but that the new travel ban means her visa was denied and she's now stuck in Myanmar. Stories like theirs echo across the community as families worry about loved ones facing forced military conscription, bombings and the uncertainty of war — all while trying to keep their businesses afloat in Indiana. To help recover profits, Hre has cut back on inventory, and he orders product conservatively — by box now, instead of pallet. He doesn't need to cut back on staff as he relies on his three sons and wife to keep the family business afloat, joking that he can pay them in more Burmese food. Most Burmese families arrived in the United States as refugees, fleeing harsh military rule, ethnic persecution and ongoing civil war in Myanmar. The first wave came after the 1962 military coup and continued through the 1980s and the 1990s, but the largest influx began in the mid-2000s as the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program prioritized those escaping religious and ethnic violence, especially among the Chin, Karen and Rohingya minorities. Affordable housing, job opportunities like factory work and a strong network of Christian churches made Indianapolis especially attractive for Chin and other ethnic minorities. As more Burmese settled in the city, secondary migration followed — new arrivals and even refugees initially placed in other states moved to Indianapolis to join family and friends and benefit from the established community and support systems. At Mommy Thai, Zi, the owner, describes how rising costs for meat and authentic noodles have made it difficult to keep the doors open, even though most of her ingredients are sourced domestically. 'The price of meat is really high, and the noodles that we use for authentic dishes, the price has gone up a lot because of tariffs and shipping,' she said. Zi tries not to raise prices too much, knowing her customer base is mostly families and students, but it's getting hard to keep up, she said. She has had to cut back on specialty menu items and watch as regulars visit less frequently, a trend echoed across the industry as a projected 7% dip in consumer restaurant spending hits small businesses especially hard. Siam Square, a mom-and-pop Thai restaurant in Indianapolis, is also feeling the strain of the tariffs and the travel ban. While the travel ban doesn't directly target Thailand, owner Ed Rudisell said it still has a major impact on his business. About 70% of his staff are Burmese — primarily Chin refugees. The ban means people don't 'have any hope of seeing family from Burma,' Rudisell said, and it creates fear and tension among staff members about their families back home. Rudisell has watched the cost of essential ingredients like garlic nearly double — from $56 to $93 a case — forcing him to raise menu prices twice since January. 'Food costs have gone through the roof,' Rudisell said. But he'd rather raise prices than reduce portion sizes or compromise on quality, as customers expect consistency, he said. Often, importers raise their ingredient prices before the tariffs are officially active, Rudisell said. 'The damage is done,' he said. 'By that point, we've already paid the increased bills.' Zi said the travel ban and the tariffs, meant to address security and trade concerns, instead deepen the challenges facing Burmese-Chin families fleeing violence, instability and economic hardship. The ban suspends both immigrant and nonimmigrant visas for Myanmar nationals, squandering hope for reunification or educational opportunities, Zi said. 'My cousin was supposed to come here for college, but now with the travel ban, her visa was denied and she's stuck in Burma,' she said.
