Is Lidl Plus worth it? How you can save money with the app

Whether Lidl Plus is worthwhile depends mainly on whether you like shopping at the discounter and want to save money in addition. With the app, Lidl customers can get discounts and grab free products.

Is Lidl Plus worth it? Advantages of the digital loyalty card

There are numerous customer programmes and cashback campaigns – so it’s hard to filter out what’s really worthwhile and how you can save money when shopping. Lidl Plus is also designed to offer customers discounts and thus bind them to the discounter.

• The Lidl Plus app is available for download free of charge for Android and iPhone in the Play and App Store respectively. It is the digital customer card of the discounter Lidl
• Register with Lidl Plus and you will get access to numerous, regularly changing coupons that offer you items from the store at a lower price. For example, save 10 per cent on pasta and canned goods or 15 per cent on fruit and drinks.
• In addition, there are free products and credits that you can redeem above a certain purchase value or 2-for-1 promotions where you buy one product and get a second one for free.
• With regular discount collector promotions, you can unlock more coupons depending on the value of your purchase during the promotion period.
• Lidl Plus also allows you to pay with the app called Lidl Pay. You deposit your bank details once and can go cashless shopping without a wallet in the future.
• You can also collect your receipts digitally in the app, so you don’t have to print paper receipts and avoid waste.

Disadvantages of Lidl Plus and for whom the app really pays off

Naturally, the discounter also wants something from you in return for discounts and free products. But if you use the app smartly for yourself, you can definitely profit.

• As a Lidl Plus customer, you have to deposit your data such as address, telephone number and, if applicable, bank details (if you want to use Lidl Pay). If you have a problem with this and do not want your shopping behaviour to be evaluated, you should do without the digital customer card.
• Customer loyalty programmes, as the name suggests, have the purpose of binding you to the discounter. If you normally go shopping in other markets, it may be worth comparing prices, but you won’t notice a significant difference at the checkout just because of the discount coupons.
• Because the coupons are only available for selected products, of course – if these are on your shopping list anyway, you’d better save. If you only buy something because it’s on offer, you’ll end up paying more.
• Conclusion: For customers who regularly shop at Lidl, Lidl Plus is definitely worthwhile, as there are no additional costs or hassle and you can save money regularly when shopping. If you are not yet a Lidl customer, you do not necessarily have to change supermarkets.
