The good thing about this app is when you activate a coupon all you need to do is scan the virtual card and not mess about with all the individual coupons

That didn't work for me

The cookies didn't come off even though I activated all of the treats. The fiver and the other coupons did work and disappeared from app afterwards but the cookies still shows there as activated. They charged me the €2 for them alright less the 20% off bit.

You probably did what I did and bought the triple choc ones instead of the double choc ones.

You sure they were the right cookies?

Ohhh ffs.... yep thanks guys I did exactly that. I saw bags of chocolate chip cookies prominently displayed on the top of a stand, 4 for €2, totally missed the double/triple difference and that's what I bought.
Not particularly triply chocolatey even are they?

There's plenty more on here who made a similar mistake, hope they were worth it.

Should the phone be connected to the internet for the app to be used at the till?

Definitely. A wired connection ideally while charging to be 100%.

i would say so

But someone here has mentioned that the loyalty code has been created using 'Stocard' app. If the Stocard app code is accepted, then it implies it wouldn't require internet.

A lot of shops are the bottom floor of a large building, underground, and so on. You are not guaranteed internet connection in a supermarket.

I've personally raged through trying to Google reviews for wines in the Aldi on Parnell Street and not getting signal, and my shopping list app needing an internet connection for some reason and reverting to a login screen when it couldn't find one.

freshpopcorn · 05-07-2020 10:22pm

Will screen shots of the card and voucher do?

I know they will work with the Supervalu one.

bored_newbie · 05-07-2020 10:22pm

I doubt you need internet on the phone while scanning at the till.

To the people buying the wrong items, check the bottom of each coupon, it has the product number.

activate the voucher or vouchers you want on your app on the phone then you just need to scan the card barcode at the till

The ice pops was odd one, picture on app didn't have premium on it but the box i was told by staff and did scan had premium on it

Where is the product code on the box?

if you have that info and access to stocard then why ask ?

I never said I have the info of the Stocard being successfully used. I just mentioned that someone has created the card, but not that someone has successfully used it.

Again, I don't know how many have internet and how many doesn't; at least, I don't assume everyone with the smart phone has internet all the time when they visit Lidl. Also to be taken into consideration, there are certain mobile networks that doesn't work in certain area.

Not on the box but on the price sticker underneath each product in the shop.

That sounds pretty logical.

I tried opening the app turning the internet off. The app does open the loyalty card/QR code. So, I presume internet is not required for the code to be working at the till.

I'll try to using the app (I mean the card/QR code) turning off the net at the till. I'll post the update.

Must try that next time

Also look for gaps, the lidl I went too had 2 or 3 chickens left at the back

The Lidl off Patrick St in Cork a case in point.

There should be no reason you'd need an internet connection as long as the vouchers you intend to use have already been activated.

Would say this is all cloud-based database stuff. Logically, at some point between pressing 'activate' in the app, and scanning your QR code you must have had to have access to the internet in order to tell the cloud server which coupons are available to use next time you scan your QR code.

So I would say if you only activate a coupon on your phone while say at the till, then you scan it, if you hadn't had internet access during this time it would fail to apply.

Janine87 · 06-07-2020 2:45pm

I tried to sign up 4 times now but when I put the code in that I get sent via text and agree to the terms and conditions it constantly comes up with an error. Is there a way around this?

Yes - all the information is present in the QR code.

I would advise screenshots over photos of the screen and so on though - if you get an awkward shine or reflection on the image, it can render it useless even if it looks fine to you.

DrZeuss · 06-07-2020 3:06pm

Tried signing up on 3 phones (not all mine), 2 had no issues but 1 I cannot type in the text areas for some strange reason (tried a few things but still no solution).

Used the codes in store too, 1 had no internet and had no issues, 1 had internet and worked similarly with no issues.

The digital receipts are fantastic, especially for electronic items.

masterboy123 · 06-07-2020 3:19pm

I am new to the lidl plus app.

I have 5 off 25 activated. But I don't see the coupon anywhere in the app.
Is the coupon linked with Lidl Plus barcode and activates when you show it to the cashier at the end?

Yeah it just needs to be activated. Once you scan the barcode any applicable activated vouchers get applied automatically.

At the bottom of the screen it says Home Treats Leaflets More

Go into Treats and everything activated should list there. Then when you scan the lidl plus code, any you've activated and bought will be used and disappear from that list.

Definitely a huge plus for the multi year guarantees. It's worth getting the app for that alone

Used nut pot freebie coupon and got another scratch coupon for €2 off next shop !! Well done lidl

Anjunadeep · 07-07-2020 8:38pm

Tried using the 2 euro off Wheetabix and the 5 euro off 25 euro spend in Drumcondra today and didn't work. Was told that they arent setup for it yet.. end of.
No apology or anything.
Bad form.

jimmycrackcorm · 07-07-2020 9:57pm

Used the app instore - saved a total of €10 as I bought everything on the activated coupons. the only problem I had was getting the barcode scanned. Because of the covid Screens, its very difficuld to get the screen close enough to the little scanner and the guy at the till just basically took my phone and did it.

Frank_1969 · 07-07-2020 10:13pm

Was just thinking about sticking the Gomo sim I have in my 4G router into a spare mobile phone and downloading the Lidl +app onto it and getting another 5 off 25 voucher :-)

Why does it say the fiver off is valid for 28 days but expires in 3.
Only signed up 3 or 4 days ago.

Thargor · 08-07-2020 5:23pm

Had a notification to see the new offers in the app, nothing there though. My remaining bin bag coupon expires tomorrow so maybe then...

yeah got the same notification and was all excited to see whats half price this week but nothing there, will probably get updated tomorrow.

Good point, I always put my receipts for electronic goods on a spike but Ive noticed the paper quality Lidl and Aldi use is so bad they fade over time, even without direct sunlight. The receipts are not designed to last the 3 years that the warranties do !

I take a photo and save them to a Google drive folder. They last forever then.

Edit : for stuff with warranty obviously.

The new coupons are up.

There's toothpaste in there again. What's with Lidl and the toothpaste?

Also chicken, bread rolls, nut butter, granola, spring rolls, ham, rapeseed oil.

I would assume that the option to use it is available for 28 days,
Once you activate it, then it expires in 3 days from activation date.
That make sense?

Click into the coupon section instead of just looking at them on the app homescreen if you're wondering where the extra chicken/spring rolls etc mentioned here are hiding...

blade1 · 09-07-2020 2:54pm

Was just at Lidl and asked the cashier was it 28 days or 7 for the €5 off on 25 spend.
She said 7.
I said why does it say 28 on the app.
She said show me.
I open the app and can't find 28 days anywhere. WTF????

Used the app today. Got about €8 off the full bill.
I can't seem to activate the scratch and win on the home page of the app. Any ideas?
