£5 credit back on £10 spend with amex at Aldi at the moment

I didn't think Aldi accepted credit cards.

They have for a couple of years now but Amex is very recent.

They do nowadays. Never used to (nor Lidl)

Gotta get those Waitrose shoppers’ money somehow!

I thought that Lidl did (and has done for some time) but Aldi was debit cards only.

ETA - just checked, and both companies def accept credit cards

My local Aldi accepts cards , they have just installed a free to use cash machine inside too. the buffalo mozeralli di campagna is a treat too, very good quality , comes in a ball type or the pearls 99p a tub , my cats are partial to the meaty chew sticks and the vitacat pouches now and again too. had an Aldi rib eye steak with some asparagus and new potato tonight , was very nice. fancied a steak but couldnt be arsed to drive in rush hour to my mates butchers. would have been closed by the time i got there anyway but for supermarket meat. was cracking.

how far inside though, and how many anti-ramraid bollards outside!

Also next time, use sentences and paragraphs

The Mash have just done a mildly amusing news piece on middle class shoppers tiring of having to stoop to shopping in the likes of Aldi and Lidl and wanting to return to Waitrose and Sainsbury.

Have they been reading my posts this week?!?

Lidl do and I'm sure Aldi do if they are doing this offer

Gave Ax their card back over twenty years ago.

It really was the worst and most arrogant CS I have ever experienced.

Think many times worse than Crapita, appalling.

How a charge card could fk up so consistantly and comprehensively was astonishing.

I still remember several conversations vividly.

A sort of PTAxD, grrrr.





Mind you, I did get several bottles of compensatory pop...

I've always found their service to be exemplary.

I've not had any issues so far and I'm just tarting it to get my airmiles

Interesting way of getting Airmiles! Street corner or bedsit?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Bedsit, I dont like the cold.

Going to head to Aldi off to work. Mrs wants some wine and me some Gin,

Can anyone recommend some ? As i have only ever purchased the Taurus cider there before.

read reviews on this - https://www.aldi.co.uk/oliver-cromwell-london-dry-...

White wine for her, preferably Pinot.

Cheers

The 'doctor' angle is a good one.

Few more quid in niche, and you've got a plausible costume reason to wear rubber gloves. Win Win.

Maybe their CS has improved over the last twenty five years.

Amusing, one of the reasons I started shopping at Aldi was that Waitrose dropped their instore offers for members, instead coming up with some hairbrained money saving scheme where you go online and choose x amount of offers.

Now finally they have 'understood from customers' that it sucked and will be doing vouchers instead. I go0t a voucher for £3 off their premium pizza and £1.50 off any chocolate! So that was me sorted for today

I preferred the old Aldi/lidl it is getting way too middle class, they had a niche it worked well.

I saw a (retired) premiership footballer coming out of Aldi a couple of weekends ago.

Had the full Canada Goose on, looking very smug with his 26 quid trolley full.

The only problem with Aldi is you need a quid for the trolleys. I normally dump all my change in the pot so 9 times out of ten I end up with two baskets and arms like a gibbon.

How has it changed?


As someone who hasn't shopped there long, I wouldn't know the difference.
