Lidl Plus has undergone a major update in 2026, shifting from the old rewards approach to a points-based system called Lidl Plus Points. Customers now earn 1 point per £1 spent, which can be redeemed for money-off coupons or freebies in the Rewards Marketplace, with points valid for two years. Some shoppers have noted that the new scheme can require more spend to reach similar discounts compared with the previous targets, and Lidl also runs occasional Extra Points promotions on certain items.

Under Lidl's revamped loyalty scheme, you now earn points for each pound spent, which you can either convert into money-off coupons or use to claim 'freebies'. But Lidl shoppers say they may now need to spend £10s or even £100s more to earn similar discounts.
