    Hi, does anyone know whether Aldi accept Amex?





    Only if a debit type card. NO charge / credit cards..


    rather daft, imo- leaving themselves open to being robbed, as few staff about too!
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)

    Can't comment about the Welsh stores but the Scottish ones appear to be operated (separately) out of Bathgate with a good mix of Scottish / German products.

    Probably just a business decision for the Scottish unit to accept Visa / MasterCard credit cards.

    Must be different card merchant banks or agreements in Scotland and Wales with more favourable terms for credit cards.

    99p Stores (or at least ones I've visited) do not, but Poundland DO accept Amex.

    If any MSE moderator ever looks at this thread, please can we have an updated list of who does/doesn't accept Amex?

    The list at the start of the thread dates from 2004, and the one in the main "Amex Acceptance" article dates from 2009.

    Re Matalan:
    buy online and pay via PayPal.

    The shops don't accept Amex, though.

    So why not review and compile it yourself?

    You can buy gift cards from their site with an Amex though.
