Last night I learned that Lidl don't take credit cards

Last night OH and I went to check out our brand new Lidl. Picked up a few things, got to the till - "sorry we only take debit cards" I hadn't brought my wallet, only my credit card and OH didn't have his wallet either. So we left our groceries there and went across the road to our trusty Sainsbury's - which would take my credit card.

A lesson learnt - only shop at Lidl with cash or a debit card.

Not all that long ago they would not take Debit cards.

The card issuers take a cut from the sellers and it is one thing that helps to keep prices down.

Lidl have never taken credit cards - like the post says above - it keeps their costs down - so most of the time they are cheaper than Sainsburys.

Nor do Netto

Ours does Although it doesn't accept Amex - only VISA and Mastercard.

I paid by mastercard just the other night.

So does mine. Is this an England / Scotland thing ?

I use my credit card in Lidl and Aldi too (another points grabber ). There was a time when Lidl only took debit cards though.

I went into Aldi in Llandudno a couple of weeks ago to buy a portable DVD player for my daughters birthday and I was told that they didn't accept credit cards.

Lidl do accept Credit Cards in Wales and Scotland but in England they don't. - I'm not sure about Ireland.
