It appears for many many years now most of major shop points value is 1 pence per point , but surely should not this go up with Inflation ???

Many other cards are stuck in the same rut have not gone up with inflation rate .

Could Martin Lewis investigate this please ??

Many Thanks 

Why should it go up with inflation? 

It’s a bonus for shopping with who you choose to shop with. 

If you shop in Aldi or Lidl you won’t get any pence per point.

I shop at Asda & Ocado and I love the Asda app and benefits, I have £70 so far in my cash pot for Christmas and I have withdrawn already twice this year. 

Lidl works on a "pounds make prizes" basis.   It depends on how you shop, but IME the Lidl scheme has a faster payback than other supermarkets, with the downside that the rewards are specified by Lidl, and not a free choice like other schemes.

Ah ok. I rarely shop at Lidl to be honest so wasn’t fully familiar. I did do a shop over £100 and I got a free bakery item on the app 🤣 x

Only need to spend a tenner to receive scratch card but the items are not always free but give a discount on the item offered

But they have gone up with inflation as you pay more for shopping you receive more points

It won’t be a regular thing for me as it’s like shopping for groceries in a jumble sale 🤣 

My friend shops there quite often and said she has never had anything relevant come through on the app, it’s always discounts on things she wouldn’t buy or the store doesn’t stock

With everything else more important going on in the financial world, I think Martin Lewis would be totally disinterested in investigating this.

You get a scratchcard after every transaction.   (Based on my transaction history, the minimum spend for this is 1p).

In addition, when your monthly accumulated spend reaches £10 you receive a voucher for a free sweet item from the In-Store Bakery (pastries, doughnuts, cakes, etc.)   This started this month.

You need to shop at Lidl in order for their computer to know the kind of things you buy in order to give you relevant vouchers.   You don't need to spend much, and in fact, smaller haul shoppers are probably more likely to receive vouchers for the smaller range of items they buy (the same is true of the Nectar app).   My vouchers for this weekend include 3 items that look to have been selected because I regularly buy them.

Spooky surprises on Thurs & Sun till 31st.  You have to actively open the box to get the coupon.  Don't forget the cake on your birthday

Don't do a major shop in Lidl so the coupons are targetted at a limited range of products, regularly get cherry jam, gherkins, baguettes and jam doughnut coupons
