Level the Playing Field We’re calling on you to help your local LGFA club to “Level the Playing Field”. Every time you spend €30 or more, and scan your Lidl Plus card at the till, you’ll receive a stamp on your digital stamp card. If you spend €60, you'll get two stamps, €90 = 3 stamps, and so on.  


Once you have collected 6 stamps, you can submit your completed stamp card which will be added to your chosen club’s total. The more stamp cards submitted for your club, the more rewards they will receive.  


  Follow the simple steps below and help your local LGFA club!  


  


Step 1: Tap “Start collecting” on the home screen of your app. Make sure to do this before you do your shopping, or you won’t get stamps.  


   


Step 2: Select your club by following the instructions on the home screen.  


   


Step 3: Collect your stamps and fill the stamp card! Get one stamp for every €30 spent.  


   


Step 4: When your stamp card is full – submit it! You can collect as many stamp cards as you like but don’t forget to submit them or they won’t count.  


   


Rewards begin at a set of new jerseys for clubs that collect at least 50 stamp cards and go right up to €5,000 in cash funding for 500 or more completed cards. In addition, the club in each province that collects the most stamp cards will win the €20,000 top prize.
