    No disrespect but if you have been signed up since the start I find that very hard to believe. It's possible you had the offer and just didn't know it was there.

    I know loads of people friends, family & in work who are signed up and they each always get the offers, maybe a few days between them, but they all get them. I know, because they always share when the supermarket ones come up as it is the most used and like here, the just want to makes sure everyone knows it's on.

    most of the offers goes towards targeted user profiles
    Profiles are build with data from different sources, not only the data the bank has on you.

    These days companies are very friendly , they all want to know you better [ in plain translation : i know enough about of bunch of customers, and there's a 80% chance they'll spend on shop X if i gave them a small incentive ; compared to 45% chance on spending if i offer the same incentive to all banks customers ]

    @off-topic ;I used to have a work colleague that always complained that her husband is crunching numbers at work based on spending habits , and when doing shopping, he will say: we're not going to buy this item, 'cause we look like xx.that.xx shopping profile...

    Their algorithm clearly needs a bit of tweaking so. I would certainly have used it in Lidl and Dunnes had it been offered :)

    Spent €50 in CircleK last week, it hasn't tracked. Going into the rewards website, there's no sign of the offer either in the current or expired section and when I try to raise a query on it, it's not listed there either. Am I going nuts - there was a 5 off 50 offer for CircleK last week, right?

    Ever get a response to this?
    I'm in the save boat, just remembered now..

    It is not hard to have amassed a half decent return.
    Everybody eats and goes to supermarkets, you had ample opportunity to get free money for spending money that you spend anyway. Dunnes, Lidl have each been on numerous times with €10 & €5 returns. And now Super Value are in the game. €25 bucks is nothing to spend in a supermarket, sure a few beers, bottles of wine, couple of steaks, milk bread, chickens.... doesn't take long to get €25 quid worth of gear in your shopping basket no matter what your taste is.

    Topaz have also been in the mix a few times with decent cash back (fair enough, not everybody drives), but for those who do, it's free money.

    So to give out that you only got €4.80 back because offers have been niche is a bit disingenuous. You could have gotten more, but it's €4.80 back that you wouldn't have gotten if they never introduced the rewards.

    You have to be offered it to get it. I've two accounts. One got the dunnes and topaz offers once each, the other never got any. I've never seen a lidl or supervalu offer. In fact, all I get are lego, hamleys, all saints and occasionally shaws between both accounts. I'd use any decent offer that came up, but they never do. Count yourself lucky, because I clearly am not!
    18.50 saved on one account and 3.73 on the other. That's nice and all but pittance compared to some on here and I've no idea why?

    I've never gotten Shaws , SuperValu, Dunnes or Tooax.
    Any way I could increase my chance of getting these offers.

    I was going to suggest you could try buying a few things from those stores and their system might pick it up, but I only use my VISA for Amazon purchases and still got the SuperValu offer, so it must be completely random

    Think I perhaps use my card with these shops weekly or fortnightly at least. Perhaps they see me as a regular customer already.

    Well I am signed up since the start and have not received any for either Dunne’s or Lidl.

    Is it to do with the location I wonder?
    Mine seems to always default to 11 Henry St, North City, Dublin, Ireland even though I've never been anywhere near there.
    But its the same on both accounts. One account got the topaz and dunnes vouchers once. One never got them. Never seen a lidl or supervalu but I don't shop in them either.

    I'm thinking of closing my account. I reckon the data they are tracking on my spending is infinitely more valuable to them than a 3% off L'Occtaine is to me

    At the start I got Lidl and topaz but never got a thing since that I'd use. Really obscure online shops that I never shop in

    I was all for it when I making a few quid back on things, I'm not so much now.

    No offence but they're getting that data anyway, whether you close your account or not.

    The offers are absolutely crap now. I got up to around €70 in cash back but nothing now for months. All online shops now that I wouldn't buy + for useless amounts like 3% back. You would actual get better offers directly from shops themselves with sales etc.

    Same kind of thing happened with the Electric Ireland rewards. First year they gave some decent freebies but afterwards they must have lost interest as it's all but dead now.

    Reminder that you must spend 50 in Dunnes so that's after any money off vouchers.

    So I spent over €70 in Woodies today. Should I be able to see that when I log in or will it take a while to go through?

    I'd say there is nothing random about it. The system probably picked-up that you bought something at Woodies and is trying to get you to visit the shop again with that voucher.
