Several posters have suggested that Aldi are at cheap end of the range store
yet POUNDLAND are cheaper yet they accept Credit Cards.

Thats the choice of Poundland and Aldi to either accept or not allow credit cards as a form of payment. If they were to accept CC's they might have to pass that cost onto the customer which will push food prices up and the dominoe effect occurs. Its not hard to understand.

Perhaps the OP should write to the Daily Mail - they could start a campaign to get ALDI to stop taking credit cards in Berwick - I'm sure they could blame it on immigrants or something.

I've always felt only the fec kless use creditcards for groceries.

That is quite a staggering assumption to make. Plenty of people can manage their spending sufficiently to put most of their monthly spend on a credit card. Heck this site even pushes cashback cards.

Looking at it the other way, anyone who pays for groceries with a debit card or cash is squandering the cashback plus the interest free benefit derived from a credit card on (for many people) one of if not their largest monthly non dd expenditure. Especially as "groceries" is an ever expanding definition.

Poundland sell some things that are cheaper in Aldi, and vice versa.

I tried to buy a bottle of pop in Poundland and they refused my credit card as I "didn't spend enough". Nowhere in the store does it say there was a minimum spend. Apparently its £5. I left the bottle on the checkout and walked out.

However, I didn't create a topic on MSE about it. Maybe I should have done.

They used to have "minimum spend £5" on the "We take cards" posters throughout the store & on the tills, although in recent weeks I haven't seen it mentioned, so maybe the minimum spend has been abolished.
