    I went to Aldi this evening (paid with my visa debit card). Nice and cheap as always. I got some colour changing candles very cheap, never seen them before!

    What do you have to do with the candle to make it change colour ?

    the email i posted is all i got, no good vouchers if their tills are not set up to redeem them
  • Shame on Aldi for not accepting credit cards everywhere!

    Poor customers in England are disadvantaged by blatant discrimination of English customers.

    An utter disgrace!

    I hope this tread forces Aldi to do something about it!

    but i dont even think they accept Gift Vouchers in Scotland , parts of South Wales [STRIKE]controlled by Swindon Wiltshire England,[/STRIKE] and Berwick Upon Tweed.in England

    parts of South Wales controlled by Swindon Wiltshire England is FALSE information since 2004
    http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/business-news/30m-hq-aldi-fantastic-news-2414457

    Wow that is very interesting.

    I called another region number on saynoto0870 and then asked them to put me through to South Wales.

    I was put through to Swindon Wiltshire England and the young lady confirmed that they Control South Wales.

    She was aware some of the South Wales branches of Aldi accept Credit Cards and she was aware that Aldi in Scotland accept Credit Cards but she was unaware that Berwick Upon Tweed.in England Accepted Credit Cards.

    She said she would bring it to the attention of her director.

    I wonder do Aldi actually have officers who are called directors but are not directors named on the companies house list ?

    which design did you choose ?

    Would you have bought more if you were able to use a Credit Card ?

    Did you buy any matches ?

    If you don't have Electricity candles are great.

    The MSE site is great for finding you the best Electricity supplier

    How many times is that they told you they were posting it out to you and still your waiting.

    I was speaking to the manager at my local Aldi store about this thread and he knew about it and thought it funny.
    He told me that even if HQ were to send out vouchers their is no way on the till system to redeem them.

    Would you have spent more in the store if you were able to use a Credit Card there ?

    Please would you consider asking him the next time you visit if it would make much difference to his store if Credit Cards were accepted ?

    In particular in the run up to Christmas ?
