In case you missed the big news: ALDI is now accepting credit cards! You can use your Visa, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express card at all U.S. ALDI stores nationwide as of March 1, 2016.

March 1, 2016 – We heard you, ALDI fans! You’ve been asking about credit cards for a while now, and we’ve decided to finally make Simply Smarter Shopping… simpler. Starting today, you can swipe your way to savings. And don’t worry – we’re still dedicated to keeping your grocery cart full and your wallet even fuller. Our acceptance of credit cards will have no impact on the prices you pay for the ALDI products you love.

I paid with my Visa card at ALDI for the first time last week, and it almost felt naughty, lol. But what great news, especially for those of us who bank credit card rewards or don't like to carry cash. Options, it's good to have options!

What's even better than using your credit card at ALDI? Using a gift certificate at ALDI -- so read on for your chance to win. 🙂

  1. I think it's great. I have not used it yet. I am still used to using my debit and getting cash back. It's like my ATM....

    1. Yippee! Now I'll be able to shop more at Aldi. I never carry much cash; thus, I'll really be able to shop at Aldi going forward. My neighbor highly recommends their gluten free products. Thanks for the opportunity!

  2. I used my credit card in ALDI on 3/6 in a Chicago location (on Montrose and Western). They have a sign up saying taking credit card, and I have been following your blog so I knew it already (my husband felt strange as he did not know that!) BTW, this location would be closed for remodeling soon (forget the exact date), but I think it's around summer.

  3. I didn't use a credit card at ALDI. I prefer to use debit and get cash back as needed. I might use a credit card if my debit balance becomes zero.

  4. This is great. Use credit card for rewards and this is one of two places that make us pull out the debit or cash. Helps track the budget! Headed there soon and will have to try it. Next question, chip or no chip options?

  5. Never used to shop at Aldi because my bank card was credit, not debit. Now I have a reason to stop there. Have already tried it. Like having more options now for my shopping needs.

  6. I welcome the news. I never use a debit card. And some days I just don't have enough cash on me to shop.

  7. I think its good to have the option of using a credit card however I will probably continue to use my debit card as usual. Thank you for the chance to win Rachel!

  8. Have not used the credit option at Aldi yet. It's great to have options for payment types!

  9. Aldi used to be my only place to use my debit card, since I hate carrying too much cash around. But I like using my credit card more to earn points.
