Fucking Lidl

[bridgetjonesmassivepants]

They used to have a good scheme where if you spent £250 in a month you'd get 10% off your next shop up to £20. Plus you'd get three free items such as a cleaning product or a bakery item etc.

Now you get 1 point per pound spent and can turn these points into items. An iceberg lettuce is 90 points!!!! I have to spend £90 quid to get one free lettuce. How the fuck is this in any way the same in any way as the old scheme?

Lidl are trying to frame it as a massive improvement.
I live rurally and have to do an hour's round trip to get to another supermarket so have little choice but to continue using Lidl. I am really pissed off.

I know they don't owe me anything but I really valued that 10% off.

I'm in Ireland and it's 115 points for a lettuce. It's a great incentive to be fair, spend €115 and get a free lettuce, who wouldn't be taken in by it.

Not amazing for sure - but anything free is a bonus.

they don’t have to do it. Every little helps!

I currently drive past two Aldi stores to get to my nearest Lidl one, because the current scheme makes it worthwhile.

I'm seriously reconsidering.

Yes, if I spend £750 I get one free half side of salmon costing £7.50.

Sadly yanbu. I've recently returned to tesco and think apart for a few very good lidl bits I'll stay

Lettuce is definitely worth £90 worth of points - we are all feeling the pinch, don’t you know? 🙄

Yes I don’t see how this is better.

No way really! I've just got my 10% off voucher yesterday too. Shows how depressing the COL is when even Lidl doesn't do bargains
They've harvested all our data and shopping habits now we aren't useful

It’s a massive disappointment. Their old rewards scheme saved me about £15 every month plus I’d get other freebies along the way. Now I stand to get about £5 a month off if I’m lucky. Insulting if they are really dressing it up as an improvement. 😡

I wont shop where there are data harvesting "loyalty" "points" or anything like that because they are profiting off of your information and you get a lettuce at the end.

Sad times, didn't buy much but as it's 2 mins drive from my work I used to love getting the free bakery item! I just won't scan now, not worth it,

Rob dogs. I’ll keep shopping there because it’s local but they’re not getting my data anymore.

They still have personalised coupons and I've been shopping in Lidl way longer than they had an app. And, honestly, most offers expire before I need to do another shop so I never used any of the freebies anyway.
I prefer their food to Tesco. I am more enraged by the fact that Tesco inflated their prices so you can get a "deal" with clubcard. Now, that's criminal-level data harvesting in my books!
