    Has anybody in Ireland actually used this in their local store? I find it strange that Lidil have not extensively advertised this?? Might it be a scam?

    The scam artist have managed to hack the lidl webpage and infiltrate the printers and change their printers so it details this dodgy app. The Google store was also hacked to display that this app is developed by lidl. Definitely a scam. Buyers beware ;)

    I can't seem to receive my OTP code on my phone for signing up, has anyone else had this issue?

    There are leaflets advertising the app in my Lidl store.

    Used it there earlier..

    .. saved about €13 all in with the fiver voucher and the deductions.

    Then also won a free "Fruit Pot" in the Scratch & Win on the app.. this wasn't there before I used the Lidl card so worth a check to see if it's on app now.

    Good idea from Lidl to be fair.

    So, used it for the second time today, and this time had awful problems getting the thing to scan. It was the same store, same till, and even the same cashier, but it took several attempts before it worked.

    I downloaded the app walking into the Coolock store and I received the activation code straight away. Not sure if that was because I was in Lidl at the time or because I am on a network that isn't having problems (Eir). All the offers others previously mentioned were available to me but I did notice some expire in 3 days so I'd say they appear on the app on Wed/Thurs for 7 days and they will expire in that time regardless of whether you activate them or not.

    I did have an issue at the till. The till I went to had a dud scanner. When I told the cashier I had the app he told me straight away that the scanner was broken at his till but that he will ring everything up and I could bring the receipt to the till next to his to pay and use the scanner. It went through easily on that till. All in all it was an easy enough experience.

    Redeemed 2 coupons today (€5 off when €25 spend and Tuc crackers 50% off) at Lidl Terenure. Total savings: €5.75
    No issues scanning. Won Fruit & Nut at Scratch & Win (appeared automatically after first purchase). Thanks, OP!

    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.

    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.

    Will screen shots of the card and voucher do?

    I know they will work with the Supervalu one.

    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 ?:confused:

    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.
