To think that Lidl are taking the piss?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

So under the old system, if you spent £10, you got a bakery treat, £50 free veg etc, plus the scratch cards giving you 15% off of something youve typically bought before

It wasnt good but it was fine

Now, you get 1 point per pound

And one donut costs 40 points

So I need to spend £40 now to get a free donut? Plus no scratchcard rewards?!

Nonsense

This pissed me off, I would save and buy what I needed with the 20% off from m&s

This is it, its nice to feel valued

And sometimes with the 15% off, i'd stock up on something I needed

Awful

Lidl app still the best. .tesco the second best. Can't be bothered with asda one. Tbh asda is so expensive I avoid it now. Love the random freebies the new lidl one gives

i do wish Aldi put the original prices on items so when they reduce them you know what the original price is etc

I am annoyed with the change as well. I liked the old system, although usually didn’t get to 10% off even though I do most of my shopping there. I also loved the random things they did like scratch cards, advent calendar, bakery spin. The best was last summer when they did fruit spin for several weeks each time you shopped.
The new system worse but still much better than Waitrose. You have to spend £50 to get some random item. This month I have been gifted weird flavoured crisps. And if you don’t reach the target, the points disappear at the end of the month. At least with Lidl the points are valid for 2 years.

Think of the positives - Lidl's potatoes are tasteless crap so now go elsewhere for better quality.

But, yes, Lidl are fooling no-one by saying this new rewards scheme is better. They lured you in with the old scheme and are now taking away all the incentives to make you choose to shop there.

Not sure whether they will still do the fruit spin and bakery spin promotions which I really loved. Anyway, I am going to spend my money less in Lidl from now on. Do the same. Aldi is better!

I do shop there but because of certain dietary requirements at home now I can’t get all the shopping I need so I haven’t really used the new points system, I loved the old system though, I thought it was fair ,I never managed to get the money off as I never really spent enough.

I enjoyed the 10% discount after spending £250. My final shop of the month, or the first of the following, benefitted from approx £7 discount plus all the free things along the way. Now I’ll need to spend £500 to get a £5 voucher which means there’s no incentive to shop there each week to hit that £250. So yesterday I went to Aldi. Aldi marmalade is cheaper and has a higher fruit content 😂

Much preferred their old system. It’s put me off shopping in Lidl, as I really preferred what they originally had. @lidlplease go back to how you had it.

I save points and can use them to buy what's on offer, different every week. This week it was carrots (300 pts.), courgette (180 pts.) chicons (500 pts.) and cucumber (180 pts.) ór 5 euro on your total (1000 pts.) (Lidl in Belgium)

I'm not sure Lidl can be accused of ripping us off - they are hardly expensive!
How can you say they weren't losing much giving away veg when you admit you selected a sack of potatoes

Theyre fine.

Prefer Aldi anyway 🤷‍♀️

Don't like Lidl..Find their stores to be poorly laid out and some of their products not to be of itgood quality and a bit muddle headed.

Forget about silly rewards and loyalty cards and other such rackets.

Go.to ALDI..

No Worries!

@SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess i agree but I am annoyed Aldi have discontinued golden yolk eggs.🐣

Asda changed their system- or tinkered with it. I stopped scanning. My data is worth more to them than a few pence off something I don’t buy to me .
If people stopped using it, they don’t get anything

Yes...the change to the lidl app to a points system is a racket, I just keep resetting the app so I get 100 points and then get my free item...simples

I would rather supermarkets focussed on price rather than gimmicky loyalty schemes. Lidl are generally very good value.

This - Lidl is very cheap they're in business to make money, compare their prices to Waitrose or other super markets.

I used to love green shield stamps - Tesco gave double stamps on Tuesdays!

I often popped in there for milk etc especially if I was near to my £10 so I’d get my free croissant.
Doesn’t seem much point now. I will go in for certain things but probably not as much.

They can’t be that badly off as they are still trying to build multiple new stores.

They changed it for the worse, yet play it like we wanted it. You asked, we listened is the phrase I think they use. A con dressed up as something better.

Aww, poor supermarkets. What garbage.

They don't have to give you anything.
Lidl are hardly ripping you off.
