    I’ve no problem getting the free items in my local Lidl, got the biscuits last night

    I’ve noticed now the scratch cards are stacking on the app, I had two to use last night and they both went through
    I’m sure previously if I had a voucher from a scratch card unused another one wouldn’t be issued

    Have the scratch cards a use them or lose them date?

    Could you get it and hold onto it for animal rescue places as they usually do collections at different stages, or at my vet an animal charity volunteer comes every week or so to collect stuff, my dog was put on special dog food and I had full unopened bag and a just opened bag of supermarket dog food and I left it there, great that it was put to use

    I'm sure that's not new, I remember noticing 2 scratchers in my app and thinking it was a bug, but it was just that I had forgotten the last one.

    Yeah where u have had two I've been able to use two. Not a new thing I think.

    Was hoping I wouldn't get the dog food or anchovies as I don't eat either. I lucked out and got the euro off.

    Tesco, Dunnes, Supervalu et al do this all the time. Mam noticed it years ago - price gets jacked up two or three weeks before it's 'reduced' or 'special offered'. In particular, Vaseline handcream 400ml is always €4 in Homesaver, yet the supermarkets (in cartel fashion) have it at €8 'down to' €4

    Whereabouts is Homesaver? If its the white Vaseline cream you're talking about, i predominantly use this as my moisturiser & i can guarantee you that this is c. €8 the majority of the time in the supermarkets for the 400ml bottle, so they definitely arent only putting it up before reducing it. Not saying it doesnt happen, but you could pick a better example

    Back on topic, Lidl are really bad at predicting the demand for the plus offers, as well as the super savers - couldnt get strawberries at the weekend and took 3 trips to get 1 pack of the Duck breasts. You dont need to be a genius to figure out those 2 items are going to be partculary popular Valentines weekend & pancake tuesday :rolleyes:

    Genius marketing at work by Lidl rather than being really bad at stocking the shop

    I was in twice and no blueberries or strawberries, yes chances are I always pick up an item or two but usually something we need like milk or bread.

    OT but Homesaver/Supersavers always have the white Vaseline lotion for €3.99. There's a good few of those shops around the midlands and west but not sure if they're nationwide. The EuroGiant often have them for €4 also

    Has anyone else downloaded the app via Google Play and found that it had defaulted to GB outlets only so couldn't select a local Irish outlet ?

    I'm using an Android tablet

    No mine defaults to my local store.

    are you using a VPN set to the UK ,possibly that could be the reason.

    Finally managed to register correctly (new phone was more cooperative than old tablet).

    Does the An Post Moneyback scheme also apply to Lidl Plus purchases ???

    You get moneyback on receipt totals; they dont look at each item on the receipt to determine your discount, just the total; so yep as long as you pay for something, it counts towards your moneyback (above €25 of course).

    Yeah i got the An Post credit card since we were doing our shopping there anyway. Basically an additional 5% discount across everything if you use it right.

    In the past year ive gotten about €300 back. Was good during last summer and that when we invested in some big purchases during the lockdown - hoovers, garden stuff; that sort of thing.

    4 times in Lidl today and each time I used the App, the 2 scratch and win vouchers never disappeared despite my efforts to use them up :rolleyes:.
    The last time that happened, they eventually went off my app the following day.

    The Chilean merlot is v nice.
    Probably not an issue but it has the plastic cork so not one to leave lying around too long.

    The app is free. They cant give you a discount on alcohol for purchasing another product.

    I used to get vouchers in the post from tesco that were free, I used them sometimes to buy only alcohol without purchasing another product, but I cant any more.

    That wasnt a voucher for a particular item... you had to spend X for the voucher to be valid.
    Lidl cant include a voucher for spend X on wine or buy 6 bottles get 25 percent off.
    They can include a voucher for discount on purchase of the specified item only.

    Wonder was the offer a bit too generous and starting to become loss making? 5% back on all purchases over 25 euro would save the average family a few hundred a year ! I was going to sign up to An post when i saw that Lidl offer myself also.

    Id say for both An Post and Lidl (and maybe the other retailers involved) it was a tool to try attract new customers, and it ran its course (i.e. it reached the end of its life and/or attracted them the customers they wanted). Ulster Bank used to do a similar scheme. It makes sense as a way to get people on board, but its a promotional tool, so was always going to run its course, imo.

    It was very very advantageous - Lidl is cheap enough as it is, but to be getting another 5% on your weekly shop is excellent, and then for the last 9 months or so, we have been getting freebies on Lidl Plus too.

    Im sad to see it go but sure what can you do.

    Does it only affect the credit card? It seems to be still advertised as a feature on their current account https://www.anpost.com/Money/Current-Account/Earn-Moneyback I know there is a €5 a month charge for that service but it you offset the €30 stamp duty charge on a credit card there isn't a huge difference, assuming you are a regular lidl shopper to take advantage.
