LIDL plus app

RocketRaccoon · 30-07-2020 7:31pm

I got the app today but when I try to activate the coupons I get a message saying "error deactivating coupon". Has anyone had this happen?

lolie · 30-07-2020 8:37pm

Has anyone tried using a screenshot of the barcode of the card, in case the app wont open properly due to a poor internet connection?

Open the app and select the card before you enter the shop

That would make sense alright.
Also wondering that for say if you didn't want this weeks offers but activated them and sent a screenshot to someone who would use them.

App does not need internet to open card. Easy to test it if you turn off your Data and WiFi

My mother downloaded the app but couldn’t get the deactivation code through (gomo) so we signed up using my mobile number. When I click on the “activate” button under each offer I get the same error as you. Not sure if it’s because the app is downloaded on to a phone with a different phone number?

Was there at the tills yesterday to use it for the first time, "App Requires an update". Couldn't access anything, no time to update and not enough space on phone to pause and do it.

jeoun · 30-07-2020 9:43pm

Anyone getting the error
"Oops, this coupon is no longer available. For some reason this coupon is no longer available"

Just downloaded the app today and tried to use it. Cashier told me that it scanned but he couldn't explain why I was getting the above message

Yes
This works

I’ve a pain in my hole having to wait in the queues while people mess about with their phone trying to save a few pence. 5 minutes wait again today coz some yoke refused to move until she got it to scan.

Handy if you had a spare phone.

To be fair this week's savings total €14.49.
And possibly another €2 from a scratch card or €5 if it's their first time using the app.

I'd be well pissed off at paying €16.49 more than anticipated on products I'd likely bought because of the promotion l, just cos someone behind me in the queue made a fuss about a short delay.

Delete the app.
When you download the updated version and install, it will have all your details, no need to register or login.

i've used the app four times since downloading and have never got the five euro discount even though it's activated. Other discounts seem to be applied piecemeal, you might get one and not another and sometimes it's hard to get the reader to recognise the code on my phone. All in all not really impressed.

Apologies if you already knew this but it doesn't come off as a fiver, it distributes the discount across all your purchases. So if it has worked you won't actually see a €5 off at the end.

No I didn't know that, seems a strange way to do it. I've noticed different discounts over selected items on the receipts all right and didn't understand why. Obviously the fiver could come off over several visits then as the one on my phone still shows as activated.

Are you spending over 25 euro?

It gives a total savings at the end .

Yep always. I view shopping as a necessary evil so I wouldn't be a daily visitor

It's a lot more than a few cent for some. I can scan in a few seconds, never had a problem with it. This week I saved €20.53!

bigwillie · 31-07-2020 1:00pm

Anyone know if there is a spend limit to use the €2.00 scratch card win ?

I'd say probably €2 tbh

Anyone know if there's a limit on a 50c scratch card? 50 flipping cent

The €2 one seems to have bypassed me.

Picked up 6 beers last night with the 2 euro off, beers were 4.69 I only paid 2.69, so no.

Our LIDL does not have phone signal inside, so we have a lot of times that folks have not activated their coupons before entering the store and then we have them trying to wave the phone around, running to the windows etc .. finally giving up and paying - is definitely wasting time for others I must say, lots of them also don't understand the app fully yet either - unfortunately they haven't been looking here on this forum :-)
I personally found it very easy to use and scan it even if I am not using any vouchers (it takes a second) as I get the digital receipt. I just check the vouchers available after I park my car and then activate the ones that I think I need and we are done. And Finally our LIDL now has the voucher items all at one place - yay

irishproduce · 31-07-2020 5:16pm

Where are the scratch cards?

Why dont ppl activate in advance then just have card open before they go into shop? Still works like that.

Got.mine sorted today finally. Rang vodafone and they enabled these premium messages. Was waiting few days to hear back from lidl but they finally answered today. Got my text straight away after.

Yes. Great idea having all the specials all in one place. Managed to get all done and dusted in jig time. Good value so far on the specials.

I do exactly that as reception is bad inside my Lidl. I even scan my card while cashier is still scanning my shopping - it works perfectly well and no delays for anyone at the end.

Wonder if the electronic receipts in the app will count as a receipt if you try to return something? On the rare times Ive bought dodgy food from Lidl they wont take it back without a receipt, which I never have for food, always do for tools and electronics. Aldi take anything back no questions asked.

Used my digital receipt to get refund today. Red line appears on it once it's done. Very clever in fairness.

Yes. Just activate everything, bearing in mind that €1 or €2:money off or €5 off €25 cannot be used together so just activate those individually. And what you don't use at that time still remains available within the time frame.

And you know it! The downside of having digital receipts with all your purchases laid out before you

Wheety · 01-08-2020 12:08am

I used it on self service today. It asks you when you're finished if you have the app.

Took me a while to get it to scan, I was trying the part where the scale is but it worked when I tilted my phone towards the part under the screen.

Exactly. Handy way to make sure u get the scratch card!!

zell12 · 01-08-2020 2:44pm

Can someone clarify.
Do you get the same scratchcard offer twice in the same week (every 72h+)?

I didn't get one after going in 2 days in a row, that said i only got a bottle of wine the second time for a fiver :pac:

gavmcg92 · 01-08-2020 6:02pm

Got my €5 coupon today, 4 days after registration so don't worry, it's does show up eventually. Spoke to someone from Lidl CC and they said there are some teething issues that they are patching.

When do new discounts get issued? At the start of a new week?

It depends. When the old ones expired. It was 7 days, then 3 days and the current one is 9 days which is up in 4 days
