Miss a gold medal while shopping? Aldi will reimburse shoppers up to £100!

With Team GB’s first gold medal in the bag, and Olympic fever starting to sweep the country, Aldi has promised to reimburse unlucky customers who missed out on the gold-medal winning moments while shopping in-store.

Aldi, the official supermarket sponsor to Team GB and ParalympicsGB, is encouraging the nation to get behind the Olympic team and enjoy watching the games, and so any unfortunate shoppers who miss a gold medal win while paying for an Aldi shop can get up to £100 back in Aldi vouchers.

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK said: “The wait is over – we finally get to see Team GB in action and we want our shoppers to enjoy the games too. If anyone is unfortunate enough to miss a medal because they’re paying for an Aldi shop, we’re going to reimburse them as a small consolation for not getting to witness a magical moment. We hope the vouchers will help them buy everything they need to set up an amazing Olympic watch party for the next event, and really revel in the Olympic fever.”

Shoppers who miss a gold medal winning moment should send a picture of their receipt to aldicompetitions@citypress.co.uk and Aldi will reimburse the value of the shop in Aldi shopping vouchers up to the value of £100 for the first 10 entrants. The time shown on the receipt needs to be during the same minute that a Team GB athlete wins a gold medal (according to the BBC Live Blog).

Aldi, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, has launched a host of Olympic Specialbuys to help the nation celebrate the games. From its amazing range of BBQ favourites to its award-winning wines and spirits, the supermarket has everything shoppers need to host an amazing watch party.

Aldi recently announced an extension to their partnership with Team GB until 2032. Since the partnership began in 2015, Aldi and Team GB have reached over 2.6 million young people through the ‘Get Set to Eat Fresh’ initiative, a free education programme which teaches children about affordable healthy eating.

Store colleagues are also joining in the fun by wearing Team GB t-shirts during the games. Come on Team GB!
