    I signed up the the PTSB rewards initially until I read here that by signing up you are allowing Visa and the bank sell, use or disclose your purchasing data as they see fit.

    id say it, the boots and the topaz offer are opening offers, the rest are pretty meh. Maybe they will have more good offers after the 18th. Worth signing up for anyways.

    Look at AIB's charges.

    Will it has to be one single transaction to spend €35 in LIDL?

    Do you have to do something to redeem each offer or will it be automatically credited to your card once you register?

    From their site:
    Money will be automatically paid straight to your registered AIB Visa Debit or Credit card typically within five business days

    Will have a look at T&C later, but if something can claw back the charges then happy days

    Why is the paranoid cynic in me questioning why the website directs you to https://aib.visaoffers.eu and not something like "https://aib.ie/rewards/"

    Also, I'm always very sceptical in putting my account details into anything, you have to confirm these details in the email they send you.

    I wonder would there be an option to do this in branch.

    If it came from AIB it's probably safe

    you don't put your account details anywhere, and the website is because it's powered by visa, not aib.

    You can also verify by checking the websites security certificate. Which looks good in this case.

    They just ask for card numbers, which alone wont allow any "hackerz" to use the card.

    It's a visa white labelled product, AIB use visa mostly, why on earth would you want to do this in a branch?

    Irish people (not directed at you personally) are in love with going into branches, cheques, non-contactless cards and everything from the 1970's when it comes to banking.

    These offers don't really appeal to me as I don't shop in Lidl/Topaz.

    Prefer the free banking KBC give me and the cash rewards I get each month for using my cards (less than €4 a month but suits me better).

    6. Charges

    6.1 Your participation in the Cashback Service is made to you free of charge.

    6.2 Payment of any money for goods or products and related charges (such as delivery) with Participating Merchants remains your sole responsibility.

    If you apply for an AIB platinum card you get cash back on purchases. 0.5%

    if you spend over €5000 on the card within a 12 month period and earn over €40,000, not exactly the target audience of people looking to get money off in Lidl. and I'm not in need of another credit card even though I pay it off fully per month.

    Surely all you need to do is sign up and add your card. Then you can simply go and spend in store and you'll automatically get reimbursed within 5 days.

    Probably worth noting, many of the offers seem to be usable with multiple cards so if you have a Visa debit and a Visa credit card you can get cash back twice.

    I logged onto it there to see what it is like. Cant see lidl or topaz offers. Have 10% back offers for Marks and Spencer, smyths toys and JD sports. Is there different offers or am I doing something wrong?




    Fixed it

    Just to make sure I fully understand it (just signed up there).

    If I go into H&M today and buy over €40 worth of stuff, €10 will automatically go back into my bank account in a few days?

    Good stuff

    I don't think this is necessarily the case - the website states that "the offers are activated automatically when they are sent to you by email or displayed when you sign in. You can use these immediately by making a qualifying purchase"

    In my case, I haven't got an email and there is nothing showing up - and I've just logged out and back in again. Maybe you've got the email and can therefore just work away

    If I have a debit and credit card, do I need them on separate email addresses or can I doubly benefit on same account if I use each in lidl

    I put everything through my credit card so very easy to put thousands through every month. I try and avoid all cash transactions.

    I also don't have any hang ups about shopping in Lidl, Aldi or any other shop so win win.
