To not bother with Lidl anymore.

They had the best loyalty scheme and I was actually converted but they have now screwed it up.
Tescos is better quality and will be better value again.

Such a shame

Lidl Plus Points

Lidl overhauls loyalty app with new Points system

Lidl Plus users will earn one point for every £1 spent in store, replacing Coupon Plus rewards for reaching monthly spending thresholds

Yeah that seems poor. Aldi have better quality food think ill switch

I never reach the maximum amount and often miss my freebies as they expire before my next shop so I don't use anything other than personalised coupons anyway and they are not going anywhere.
Tesco food is rubbish and my Tesco equivalent shop is at least 20% more expensive than Lidl. I also object to their price inflation so you can then "save" with clubcard prices which are still more expensive than Lidl.

Could someone summarise please it's not letting me read it

I’ve just read the attachment. Seems ok, we will just have to give it a go and see. I do love the free veg and bakery though!

It’s becoming more like a Sainsbury’s card, where you earn loyalty points and coupons off specific products

i only occasionally used to get a free donut. it is not my main shop

Tesco have the best system imo, I don’t think any supermarket has ever matched them. Lidl’s is weird in that you have to manually check for vouchers and add them to your card before shopping- how many would think to do this? I appreciate Tesco’s because I save them up all year for money off my Xmas shop.

Went really change anything for us as such. It seems more customisable than the current system. All supermarket points systems are a bit of a gimmick anyway. DH always hits the threshold for the 10% off so then has to plan to get the most out of it! We'll still be be shopping there.

Nope. Plus I went yesterday after my other half had been doing the shopping for the best part of a month - I came out feeling pretty fleeced. A couple of bottles of wine, enough meat for two dinners for four, cupboard items, a bit of fruit and dairy - £100!

It’s a pain in the arse not offering delivery - if there’s no cash incentive either anymore, forget it!

I will mourn its decline, not with Thunderbird wine*, but with my freebie bar of chocolate, to be redeemed later 🍫

(*Ian Dury fans might get this one 🙂)

Noooo! The main reason I shop at Lidl is the random freebies. It’s even a family joke. I know it sounds silly, but it really makes me smile when I get my free donut, or fruit, or random one-brand product.

I can happily afford to shop at the other supermarkets, but this was a differentiator for me.

Madarch · Yesterday 11:39

Probably work better for us as you can still get money off but you can redeem it when you want. Typically, we only ever needed a few bits once we'd bagged the 10% voucher so we didnt get the most out of it. There's only so many bottles of olive oil i can store in my cupboard!
