LIDL plus app

New scratch card seems to be €1.50 off next shop.

Not sure if these are tailored to people specifically but I’ve been getting same prizes as others to date.

Bar of chocolate for me today.
Don't think I've ever bought chocolate in Lidl before.

Just scoffed the hazelnut chocolate bar myself, was very tasty and nicer than Aldis own brand Dairyfine. Anyone getting it be careful as there is another bar there with almost identical packaging but a bigger size and price, its the one that is 79c and 100 grams that is free and not the other one.

I didnt get a fresh scratchcard though, I just checked my digital receipts and I was short of the 72 hours between the two shops by 6 minutes :mad:

so even if there is nothing on the app you want to activate and use, if nothing floats your boat do we still scan the barcode at every shop just for the scratch card?

Yep, that should get you a scratch card alright. The offers change weekly so your boat might be floated later this week

Muahahaha 6 mins, wouldn't ya be raging!

Another €5 off €25 shop voucher in my app this morning.

I had emailed them to query the initial terms of the voucher, as it had said 28 days, when the info changed on the app to 7 days. (I screenshotted it when it said 28days)

Got a reply from Lidl yesterday to say that's a mistake. Valid for 7 days.

This new voucher has 28days on the terms too so I presume it's a mistake and it's valid for 7days again.

I never got a chance to use the old voucher before it expired and disappeared off the app after 7 days. It is now showing up again for me as well as a new €5 voucher.

So you have two now? Nice!

Anyone else having trouble registering? I'm not getting the text to verify.

I think a few people were having this issue when registering, are you dropping the zero from your mobile number? As in +353861234567

My first one had expired.

If you try activate them both, I get a message saying they cant be used together. I tried to use mine last week and it disappeared so happy its back

Cheers for clarifying that! Easier than finding out at the till:)

I got my fiver off back. It had expired as I didn't use it in 6 days. But it is back now.

there is a new 5 off 25 voucher but you can't have both active. I'll see if the second one activates after I use the first one when I buy the shopping today.

I think this app is quite good - used it on Sunday - got a colgate toothpaste for 70c and a pack of deluxe cooked ham for 1.29 instead of 2.29. Then did the scratch card thing and got a free bar of chocolate - so must collect that next week

Damn thing didn't scan today, despite the cashier saying that it did. Only discovered when I got home and looked at the digital receipt.

Thats a bummer. If it helps in future I noticed the little scanner has a red light on it that turns green when it scans properly, thats what Im watching out for.

Okay it didn't scan. Only noticed after leaving. Press the old voucher to de-activate it and click the new one.

I always check my bill to ensure all the coupons have been picked up !

Yes. Once you scan the phone/card at the till, it will take off all the vouchers that have been activated (if you managed to find all of the products) and a digital copy of the bill will be saved to the app on your phone

my local had about 5/6 of the special offers in one place last night. Very handy

A simple and great idea!

Damn good idea.. I'm like Anneka Rice darting around looking for things in my local Lidl.

Looking forward to Thursday every week these days, Aldi need to get off their ass

Not just Aldi others as well !

Aldi will not react to this and will likely ignore or ridicule it the same way Lidl used to ridicule other loyalty cards.
Don't forget lidl will raise prices on other items to make up for this the same way Dunnes stores do to cater for the 10 off 50 spends, it is all marketing and while it is good for items we are actually buying, money off coupons and digital receipts buyers need to be aware of what this actually is - a marketing gimmick to tempt susceptible buyers into picking up products they don't normally buy and therefore increase weekly spend

There will be an element of loss leading to this we can benefit from, cant argue with any of the offers so far anyway, and they can't go too high with Aldi there anyway.

My experience of working in retail is that this could be supplier funded on the branded goods - so prices might not increase beyond normal inflation levels. For own brand goods, they have higher margin so easier to justify a temporary hit in margin if its gets people to move from branded to own brand.

If Lidl do raise their prices ill concede the point - but Dunnes operate a completely different model and are in a completely different market position to Lidl. Lidl would be mad to try to turn into a Dunnes type operation.

Did Lidl ridicule other cards? I never saw that.

Where did you give it all your human personal data? Mine asked me for name, gender & date of birth, all of which you could have filled in with rubbish.

You allow the app to access your phone data and analytics, shared with some US companies including Google... more boring stuff under the Legal Info section of app
