There is a stand of gift cards near the check outs, you bring one to the check out and they scan it and add the credit to it. I added €50 credit, handed over my voucher so I have a prepaid gift card with a €50 value for €40 (did this three times :-) ). No panic buying to get the use of the vouchers, use them at your leisure in January.

Or - hold on to them next time the vouchers come around. I've used gift cards from market research work loads of times with them so they're very unlikely to refuse higher value ones.

This does require locking up rather a lot of capital, though.

I'm sorry but I don't understand, why would I hold on to the gift cards until the next round of vouchers. I've already saved 20% buying the gift cards?

You pay for the goods with the gift card vouchers and then get another 10 off a 50 spend (assume that would be the voucher) using a new Aldi voucher.
So €50 worth of goods for €30

they refused to take my 20 off 100 spend aldi voucher in exchange for a 100 gift card in tesco mahon point on NYE. the "lady" was quite rude about it actually. she said they would honor it against a spend over 100 alright but not on voucher. I went over to Aldi and stocked up household/non perishables. think i will let tesco complaints know about it if they have a complaints desk. shockingly rude customer service

Got my Tesco gift cards with €10 off each one, thanks for that idea fellow Boardsie ... saving me 20% through January shopping.

Anyone used these vouchers to get Tesco Gift cards and in turn use these gift cards to buy other vouchers instores such as Argos etc. ?

Any word yet if there are money off vouchers in this weekend's papers?

Their T&Cs specifically say they don't accept them for vouchers, and it was just luck if they were accepted by mistake. You're wasting your time complaining.

Save a further 20% then - pay with the gift card, use a voucher. Not an option if you can't hold on to the cards till then.

poitinstill · 02-01-2015 12:16pm

I did send in a complaint but it wasn't so much focussed on the voucher more the attitude i received from the staff. This is what p!$$ed me off. It costs nothing to be civil be it in aldi/tesco/anywhere

Just seen on aldi Facebook page €10 off €50 in tomorrow's sindo

Tomorrow- as in- the 4th of Jan?
I thought they were only in the run-up to Christmas.
Happy days- if they do have it.......

allthedoyles · 03-01-2015 2:54pm

we normally spend â‚¬75 so will be nice to get a tenner off

Fair dues to Aldi & Lidl.
Wonder how much they have saved boards members last few months?

I just gave one to a random shopper in tesco who had a trolley full of stuff she was delighted I wouldn't have spent €100 in tesco today and the voucher has todays date on it

I did the same on NYE.
Went into Aldi with 2 €20 off a €100 spend vouchers and after stocking up with €105 worth of wine (Nett 85

), I couldn't bring myself to buy another €100 worth of booze so just gave it to a family who were buying their shopping for the next 6 months by the looks of it, their spend was nearly €150 with no booze! :eek:
Didn't think it would be possible to spend that much in Aldi.

It would work out as €60 worth of goods for €40. This is presuming you do it over two transactions and use a €10/50 Aldi/Lidl voucher each time ... and that you are allowed to buy giftcards in Tesco using the vouchers, people have had different experiences in doing that. And also that you are allowed to pay for giftcards with a giftcard. The transactions can't be done at SCO, they must be done at a manned checkout as the cashier has to load the giftcards.

Transaction 1
Buy one €40 and one €10 Tesco giftcards
Subtotal: €50
Apply €10/50 Aldi/Lidl voucher
Total out of pocket: €40

Transaction 2
Buy one €40 and one €10 Tesco giftcards
Subtotal: €50
Apply €10/50 Aldi/Lidl voucher
Subtotal: €40
Pay with €40 giftcard from Transaction 1
Total out of pocket: €0

Final result is that you have spent €40 and in return received €60 in Tesco giftcards - two €10 and one €40.

I used the entire lot over the 5 weeks of the World having both, so €110 minus 4x2.65 - 99.40

Now, I'm fairly sure I bought at least a tenner of stuff I absolutely didn't need (to hit 50s in Lidl or Aldi rather than using them in Tesco) alongside the inevitable over-stocking on other items... nothing that'll go out of date though.

Whiplashy · 03-01-2015 7:16pm

I did my shopping yesterday because I was sure there'd be no more vouchers

€68 so won't need much next week. I suppose I can always stock up the cupboards and freezer. Not missing out on what is effectively free stuff!

monicaali · 03-01-2015 7:19pm

i used them all as well, for aldi and lidl

& i thought with the €20 voucher was the last one with Aldi before xmas, as there was only 1 €10 voucher left from Lidl & that was that?

It was difficult enough to get them to accept the voucher for one gift card, paying again with another one might just blow the cashiers mind :-)

No, only in Aldi or Tesco.

Lidl sometimes do their own vouchers but it's unlikely that they'll have any until closer to St. Patrick's Day

radooo · 04-01-2015 12:09am

thanks for the clarification. are lidl vouchers available in any of the newspapers at the moment?

The 11th.

If I buy ink cartridges in tesco, can the Aldi voucher be used to reduce amount?

The way I look at it is , you get a 7 euro voucher and some free paper to start fire on the cold mornings on top . Top banana !!!!!!

I just spent 160 euro and split it into 3 shops and saved 21 euros.

I'm now off to tesco to buy some smellys and baby pounder and save another 7 euros .

Agreed, I wouldn't try this myself. I wouldn't even try a transaction for gift card only without throwing a few groceries in with them. I did get a few gift cards using the vouchers, my most daring was using the 20/100 voucher last week - I picked up 10 Euro worth of groceries and added in a 90 Euro Tesco gift card. This was in Tesco Dundrum. The cashier was a young guy, he looked at the voucher then scurried off with it without saying anything, presumably to check with a manager. He was gone 3-4 minutes while a queue built up behind me. He came back, made no comment and then manually put the voucher through.

Patty O Furniture · 06-01-2015 2:12am

Didn't see any vouchers in the paper, let alone mentioned on the front of the Sindo or SunWorld, usually get the voucher of someone else as the person wouldn't spend that much, but was away on Sun & didn't see any at all

Aldi have a full-page ad on page 13 of last Sunday's Sindo and the voucher takes up a fairly large part of that ad! There is no mention of it on the front page though.

As the current Dunnes spend & save campaign is running until the end of January, one would hope that the Aldi tit-for-tat will continue with another voucher in this coming Sunday's Sindo.

Thanks, pity I didn't check that far, as usually it was in the first few pages, similar to the SunWorld, btw was there in any in them as well?

There was no mention of the enclosed Aldi voucher on the front page of last Sunday's Sunday Independent available outside Dublin. If it was mentioned on the front pages of the Dublin editions, that would seem a little strange.

I have no idea if it was also in the Sunday World - anybody know?

mugsymugsy · 06-01-2015 12:25pm

I saw an advert on the top of the front page of the Sindo that I bought out in the sticks and then big advert and huge voucher on page 13!

Yep, so it was advertised on the front page of the Dublin final edition. There's no mention of it at all on the front page of the country edition which I have in front of me right now. Strange.

I don't think it was on the earlier editions for Dublin either- just that damn UTV wrap around crap.

Quackster · 06-01-2015 2:00pm

I guess the moral of the story is don't just assume that if there's no mention of it on the front page of next Sunday's Sindo, it ain't there.

Go seek out the Aldi ad in the bowels of the paper!
