Finally came through.. looks like they’re holding out till the email sends now
Active from tomorrow.
PARKRUN930
Don't bother try to redeem today, it will say invalid as code is only activated from tomorrow, seems like they changed it around
Code can be activated from tomorrow in the app and last day to redeem is Wednesday
This was in the email too asking people not to share the codes outside of parkrun
Very strange changes to the parkrun redemption terms... Maybe Lidl didn't anticipate the level of interest and are trying to reduce the number of freebies given out by letting stocks run out for a few days...
Exactly, when Lidl and Parkrun originally negotiated the deal, they would have had a rough idea of costs based on the number of Parkrun members. Now that they're probably giving away a lot more than that estimate, costs are probably way up and based on their last email I'd say it'll probably eventually get pulled.
last code…doubt it will happen next week based on changes and abuse
I noticed that on their latest email, they are asking for the code not to be shared.
I presume they will change things soon enough, so that only actual participants are given the code at the run.
It's been great getting free stuff, but it is too good to be true.
A unique code to those signed up would reduce some numbers or to have it as a qr code for those who attend the runs.
only predicted this afternoon that the Parkrun codes getting shared on that Facebook group could be the end of it and its looking like thats what will happen now if they are telling people not to share it. With 200,000 in the Facebook group it must be obvious in Lidl HQ that its being used much wider than the actual Parkrunners
It'll be a shame if it happens as the Parkrun treats were always much better than the ones on the scratchcards, like where else would you get things like organic blueberriers and caesar salads for free
That's just a fb page.. how many of those ppl are then giving the codes to friends and family + the number of ppl who are actually registered for park run, and I presume they also share with friend and family.
No wonder stuff is often missing from the shelf.
... But having said that .. it's a lot of extra people going into lidl that otherwise wouldn't.
Time will tell.. three weeks will tell a lot.
Code working now. €5 of €30 and free apples, other that that offers are as usual weak and can’t see myself making spending ages scanning aisles to save €0.20 on something I don’t want or need and is probably out of stock anyway
Are you denying the fact you got banned from the circle k thread for breaking the rules and then reregistered as a new poster and started asking for codes?
in the prison forum you were found out and then you claimed someone in your house registered the new account before you cried like a baby and admitted it was you and asked for forgiveness

This is crazy, some woman even offering parkrun codes on adverts
https://www.adverts.ie/28103189
Nuts, I see she is offering H & M clothes vouchers too.
Next week
Well, someone just scuppered her by posting the code in her own thread. Now it's marked as sold.
Say she is just trying to get her ratings up. Nuts…
We can blame the Facebook page all we want but we are doing the exact same thing here and are open to anybody with a web browser, not just those with a facebook account. And personally I see no issue with it
Don’t think people on here have an issue otherwise no one would post a bargain, just posting as a word of warning to get in there fast as the more that the code is being used the more likely it will be flagged to HO and the likely hood of it being pulled
ha ha does anyone remember the circle k bandit 🤣 they’d take all the links. Fecking they must be dead now from a heart attack. Loved that circle k game, my car was spotless! Not so much now.
Those are very poor ''savings'' in my opinion...They have gotten poorer as the weeks have gone on.
I have to agree and I’ve noticed they charge more on items than is advertised on the shelf it’s only 5-10c sometimes 50c but I’ve been stung many times now. I know prices fluctuate but they rarely update it
ive been going to Dunnes more often now the lure of the free junk food item is starting to wear off now
I've noticed in my local Lidl that the app is a massive hit with the kids coming in from school and might explain the shortages on the treats in recent weeks for some stores.
As for Parkrun i’d love to join but nothing in my vicinity, typical :(
I wonder will they look at just using the Parkrun barcode? (For those not in Parkrun, you're given a wrist band with your unique barcode on it that you scan at each event so your times can be tracked)
Too much hassle I'd say as the database of unique runner barcodes would have to be managed etc. They'll just decide to stop the promotion probably. Which is fair enough really...
Was a hoarder spotted at that circle K?
Thats insane that someone on Adverts was selling Parkrun codes like wtf
