To think that Lidl are taking the piss?

in mine there's also rarely a staffed till open so you have to do self service with 2 assistants watching you and then you have to scan your receipt to get out the bloody place....i prefer aldi

There is a big up uproar about it on reddit

I don't shop much in lidl but did enjoy the £10 bakery reward

They aren't ripping you off.

They were giving you a freebie for £x spend.

That freebie is now given at a higher spend.

The freebie was always free to you. Not something you paid for

How is that ripping you off?

You do know they're a business, not a charity, right?

I shop in Aldi because it DOESN’T have any gimmicks.

Snd M&S does cheap basics like eggs and butter really well.

I can’t afford £3 for a bag of fresh salad that’s 89p in Aldi/Lildl. Fresh unprocessed stuff is going to be very similar especially as it’s all grown on the same farms.

Missed opportunity - Lidl are taking the piddle! 😂

I think they've misjudged this. I'm revolting 😘

Did you buy any other veg? It'll be cheapest veg free, you can check your receipt on the app

I think I've been getting better deals. Got my free veg last weekend and free cleaning item today...premium dishwasher tablets £4+...Thank you Lidl!
Neither freebie was based on spend either

I actually think all these loyalty card schemes are a scam for big companies and when Lidl brought theirs in I was a bit disappointed. I dont think that they or Aldi should get involved in mirroring the big stores with that, they're a discount super market, the main big 4 do the loyalty schemes because they're overpriced and con people into thinking they're getting a bargain. I thought the whole point of Lidl and Aldi was that they simply dont mess about. The price is the price is the price.

All the reward cards and schemes are rubbish now.

Weird. I'm in Ireland and get the points AND the scratch cards for random free pastries/discounts AND other coupons.
Lidl.is great

Gotta love this sort of totally pointless contribution to a thread😅

The new Lidl scheme sounds like what we’ve had in NI for some time. I didn’t realise it was different elsewhere!

I just read an article elsewhere that said Lidl was the only supermarket in that country that didn't offer a loyalty card; they just offered cheaper prices. Yet people stuck with the supermarkets that were 20% more expensive because they got a 1% loyalty rebate on food that was overpriced to begin with. The thought that you might be missing out on something is an odd mind fuck.

If Lidl is cheaper, shop there. If it isn't, don't. Personally, I don't think any loyalty cards are worth it any more, as they've reduced the benefits to such a degree that they're basically worthless, in exchange for an extraordinary amount of data, which they make money on by selling on to other organisations.

Yes I don't like the changes, I always got a free bag of potatoes nearly each week!, sweet treat, bar of chocolate, bag of prunes or dried apricots a lettuce ,ive had loads of free stuff. Now it's crap

If you are bothered about data farming Mumsnet is a pretty rum place to hang out

Yerdunfer hen 😉

How do you know if you've never been in one?.

I actually don't think it is. The Lidl own brand stuff is very good quality, much better than the core supermarkets, on a par with M&S and better than Waitrose IMO.

They've changed their pricing structure, as has everyone else due to inflation, they've just done it by changing their rewards system rather than directly increasing prices. They're still better value than anyone else. (Except Aldi)

It was always pretty crap data collection vehicle. I don’t bother with it though I do shop at Lidl a lot.

I've just had a look at mine and I can claim a free cucumber or hummus 🙂. There were some welcome points sitting there that I hadn't claimed so that helped. There are too many loyalty schemes to keep up with now. I find Asda Rewards a bit rubbish. I don't think I shop there often enough so there's never anything I can claim back.

DH has done all the shopping for the last year because of my health issues. He's now going to ASDA, Tesco and Iceland for bargains. I did wonder why.

I'm inclined not to bother scanning the code any more. It's a trade-off, isn't it - they get your data and lots of information about what you are buying, in return for some discounts. If the discounts aren't worth it, I shall not bother trying to find the right angle to scan the QR code at.

Yeah I have had no Morrisons offers at all for 2 months at least. I only got the Easter treat thing.

How are they "ripping you off"? Do you think you are owed free doughnuts?

Lidl is unbelievably good value.

I used to like how at the Co-op you could build up actual cash with the Members card. Now you’re lucky if you get a slight discount off one random item. I was gutted when they scrapped that.

I think they will still do the scratchcards and spin to win etc. It is just the monthly reward targets that has changed.
