To compensate for the problems, said it was making the top 100 More Card prices the regular price for all customers, whether or not they were members of the loyalty scheme.
A spokesman said: “Today we are experiencing some system issues which are affecting our More Card customers.
“For More Card customers who have Fivers to redeem, these will be done manually in store by colleagues.
“All our stores have now made the top 100 More Card prices the regular price – including the 10p veg deal, turkeys, spirits and Champagne.
“And in addition we will give More Card customers an extra 10% off their entire shop as an apology.”

One customer, who said she is disabled and lives with a weakened immune condition, has been left without food for Christmas after her delivery was cancelled on Monday.
Moira Redhead, 55, who lives in Northumberland, had expected her Christmas shopping to be delivered between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on Monday and relied on ’ service as she said she does not drive, preventing her from getting to the shops before Christmas Day.
Ms Redhead contacted ’ customer services, but was told there were no alternative delivery slots.
“I’ve rung customer services who said they (Morrisons) couldn’t reinstate the order or offer me a delivery slot and there’s nothing they can do,” she told the PA news agency.

“I explained to them I’m very unwell, disabled and immunocompromised and I don’t drive and they just said they can’t do anything and offered me a ‘£10 goodwill voucher’.
“I really don’t know what I’m going to do.”
Sue Davies, head of food policy at consumer group Which?, said: “Just days before Christmas, Morrisons’ customers will be understandably frustrated to find that they are unable to use their loyalty card discounts and that some online orders have been cancelled.”
She said the supermarket must “work quickly to resolve these issues” and ensure customers receive their orders.
