Metro e-voucher:

Thanks jimmy :smiley:

I doubt anyone will know, for the life of me I cant understand why anyone would actually pay to read the Bull*hit, lies and hatred that this excuse for newspaper is filled with.

I'm going to Lidl's after work, i'll try it at the self scan till, if I spend enough, and report back. :wink:

used this today printed and it didn't scan so the cashier just used a real one from a paper for me, result

Does anyone know if the voucher will be issued in the newspaper again this week?

Thank you. We don't get "free" Hunts Post. I get it on line so may have to buy one if I want money off. Good store and checkouts were manned. Seems nicer than St Neots Lidl which is nearest for me.

Hello local! There is a £5 off a £30 spend voucher in the flyer for the new store in this weeks "Hunts Post".

BUT - the voucher is in Saturday's Daily Mail:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/5-off-a-40-spend-lidl-voucher-saturday-s-daily-mail-90p-2516812

Not long got back and it only just got accepted. The woman who has put it through without a problem before wasn't on the till so had to try someone new. She couldn't scan it and then said it's a photocopy so can't do it. I said it wasn't, it's a printout of the free Metro newspaper online. She called for the manager who tried reading the small print, but luckily I had printed it out in low resolution and it's almost impossible to read. (A possible trick there.) He gave up and said just this one time, and that he going find out for sure if printouts are allowed from now on.

Bottle of gin, bottle of vodka, and 4 boxes of chicken fillets. Job done.

They definitely do - Lidl Mitcham on Rowan Road, with the voice of Claire Anderson.

where do you get this page from? is it online only?

Previously my Lidl wouldn't accept my print out but this time my husband picked up the Metro so I have one.

where can you pick up the metro from, my kids used to get it but are now at uni and no point in me trying to ask them where as they will be in the land of nod lol

Thank you got one today thanks to this post heat added :smiley:

A lot to spend for tut fiver.

Yes I know it will still scan if the checkout staff accept to put it through. But that's the point I'm making, with this change they have obviously become aware of this practice and you will find some that will not allow it now. I've had more than one refuse to accept printouts before this change but most have thankfully. I'm going to try it now and see if staff at my local have been notified. Be for anyone says anything, of course I'm not going to ask.

Online Print outs went through every time. No issues

No online printouts is a game changer now. If they uphold that then the 5 quid off in the Metro isn't going to be so hot. Will have to wait until it's in the Mail which of course always sets off the rabid haters frothing at the mouth.

Too many vouchers to chose from this weekend:
£3 off £30 - Sainsburys
£6 off £30 - Waitrose
£4 off £40 - Tesco
£5 off £40 - Lidl
I am finding myself spending purely because I have a voucher in my pocket... which is bad IMHO.
Stacking up doesn't work cos there is always another bunch of vouchers popping out...

Not just London, I've picked it up for free in Brimingham New Street many times and Birmingham airport.

we don't get the metro up here either, but we managed to use a printed out voucher just now. But it'll probably depend on who you get at the till or if they've been specifically told not to take them. I don't think the print outs will work at the self service as the cashier has to manually input the number, the barcode seems to print pretty small.

​It's free outside of London as well, can be found at most train stations within the Midlands

I'd need more than £5 to move anywhere near London, or buy the Metro.

I'm sure there are some lovely places to live in that blue area. :laughing:

Thanks for posting, heat added

Is the metro just London?

Has anyone been successful in taking a photo copy to pay for groceries, and been accepted? Or the other way round.? ..At a till??

[quote=jimmybo]Metro e-voucher:[/quotam i right thinking that the Metro paper is just in London on the underground trains and stations? That is the only time I see this free paper, when in London.

It's very common now to get vouchers or discount off up to this amount. It's 12.5%, it's fine, but I wouldn't vote hot for it. Warm at most.
Just did shops last week in Waitrose and with the stuff we bought in their 'half price event' PLUS 20% off with out Picks, that's 70% discount. Worth having! Ok, some Waitrose stuff is dearer to start with, but it still wins hands down over these 10 to 15% discounts. AND you have to spend 40 quid! I have just had a load of vouchers from Sainsbury's, spend 20 quid get 2 quid off + 6 times Nectar points. So, effectively the same. Very common now.

I don't use self scan. It terrifies me!!

Metro e-voucher:

Thankyou

Love lidl wished Aldi would still do £5 off more than 3x times in a year.

Our Lidl branch is quite old but I think they had so many people moaning about having to queue for a few items, along with others with full trolleys that they eventually installed them but now, sometimes in the mornings there are absolutely no cashiers on the tills and people have to use them whether they like it or not and a lot of people don't like them. I don't mind them myself and even helped a elderly person check their shopping through. :smile: (The one staff member was very busy)

I think that the voucher/barcode would have worked at Lidl self scan tills - even with 6 bottles of mulled wine included in a £40 shop

We have a new one opened in Eaton Socon this week and it has self scan tills. I spent over £40 today (before seeing this post) but as I had 6 bottles of mulled wine, I would have been out of luck with £5 off. As mentioned, it is difficult to spend £40 in Lidl unless there are good offers on stuff you want to stock up on.

Wow. I never knew they did them. Must be upgrading.

I'm going to Lidl's after work, i'll try it at the self scan till, if I spend enough, and report back. :wink:

That's good news
Let's hope that other Lidl branches (including the new stores opening) install self scan tills - where the downloaded/printed voucher (with barcode) should work

That should also stop the "Only two alcoholic products" nonsense in its scanning tracks!

Btw - Has anyone been refused the downloaded/printed voucher yet in their local Lidl?

Damn, I just spent £43 yesterday.

I shop in Lidls every week and yes, mine has about 8 self scan tills just recently installed!

Does anyone think the voucher can be used at the self scan tills? (on the sneak) :wink:

Just to be clear: This actual voucher states copies and online printouts are not valid. Original newspaper voucher only

(So ignore the above voucher as it is not a proper e-voucher with your name, address and code)

​i donut think it do

I'm afraid the clause on "online print-outs" is new - I've just checked the last instance that I printed in May, and the T&Cs did *not* have this included at the time (only referring to copied, damaged or defaced).

Sorry but that isn't true, it has never said "online printouts".
Source: I also used to print out the Metro voucher and use it with no problems

It has always said that and I have never had a problem. I get the E Metro version and print it out from there. I do have an excuse, as being registered Blind, I get to use magnification on my PC. Never had to play my trump card though.

Just to confirm when I last used this its 2 alcoholic PRODUCTS only, I bought quite a few beers and a 2 bottles of wine and it went through fine

australian shiraz - 14% - is reduced to £2.99 from £3.89

Thank you

Do anybody no if it in the Dalit mail today too , thanks

Daily

Thanks OP

Lovely, thanks. Have asked a friend to pick me one up :smiley:

Aah nice thanks.

It depends on your local Lidl checkout staff

The voucher will scan ok so it's up to the individual whether they accept or not

If you're in a Metro newspaper distribution area they should accept the e-voucher - but if not - the Lidl checkout staff may be confused :disappointed:

Thanks jimmy :smiley:

Yes,with lots of extras/accessories etc,I saw them today in one of the Reading stores.

Not sure I could spend £40 in Lidl

Thanks!

Perfect, thanks op was going today but put it off until Friday, just as well :smiley:

Thanks for the heads up

Thank you op, heat added :smiley:
