Do they take credit cards or only debit like in Lidl?

Also, this really does seem like a very, very good deal! Thanks OP

Just debit cards... and cash, tstbo

Thats not right - I am sure they now take credit cards

:/ Can confirm - just cash & debit cards - NOT credit cards

Erm no thats wrong. Aldi take Mastercard and Visa credit cards.

It says this clearly on the flyer for this weeks offer. They have been taking credit cards for a while now.

Please get your facts right before contradicting others - or else whats the point of posting?

I know I think they have only recenty started taking them.

Am I the only person to have seen the flyer fo 24th November? - I am looking at it now and if says at the bottom "We now accept the following credit cards - Mastercard and Visa"

Maybe its only in stores in Scotland - anyone else out there clear this up?

Just popped into ALDI tonight (all the bloody harddrives have gone but theres loads of the other stuff...typical >:( ) and picked up next weeks offers flyer and that states at the bottom....
