Lidl Pay - What A Faff

Lidl have introduced Lidl Pay where you can add a payment card to your Lidl Plus card / app and is promoted as "Pay with just one scan".  Well that is sort of correct. Open Lidl Plus app and select your Lidl Plus card which now needs auth, either biometric or PIN, then scan it at the checkout.  Put goods through and select "Pay with Lidl Pay" on the screen" which then makes you get your phone out of your pocket, open the app and authorise the transaction.  Far simpler to just pay with card / phone ! Lidl Pay deleted.

    That does sound really bad.   So much quicker to unlock your phone, present it to the RFID and it pays using your credit card.   No need to make it more complicated.
