About time. I went in there one day because we just got one and they cashier was like we don't accept credit cards loud as crap. Like oh okay loud much? Lol.
I'm glad I had my debit card on me.
Wow, this is awesome news. Going from accepting no CC's to accepting Amex. That's quite a turn, lol. Might have to start going back there again for produce.
Previously having to use cash or debit wasn't worth the hassle.
That is great news. I quit going to Aldi because I never carry cash and quit carrying my debit card. Now can go back. Some of their offerings are truly cost saving, as well as being good. Not saying that all is good, but a lot of it is.
That is great news as the wife can use her AMEX Everyday Cash card. Just to check, there is not a surcharge for credit use is there?
Interesting...there's an Aldi right next door to Publix nearby; my fiance and I were thinking about checking it out but I didn't know they didn't take credit cards! If Amex accepts it as grocery, I assume MC will too.

Correct, there is no surcharge at all. When I went in on Monday evening to try using a credit card I check the door on the way in and it still said no credit cards. Went in and caught an employee ans asked and they said, yes, we could use a card no problem but it was not official until Tuesday.
As a test I used my new AmEx PRG and it worked fine, checked earler and it coded as grocery. Like Merch/General Grocery if I recall correctly. My wife paid for something seperately with a Visa card and it also worked fine. Have to swipe as no chip useage yet and cashier said maybe never on the chips. ( I know my employer has elected to not bother with supporting the chips either and we have 100 plus locations, and we are never switching ourselves. )

I love Aldi. Very convenient and is the same company as Trader Joes. But I still need my Publix. I only wish Publix would get a branded card

I can see why some would want a Publix card (I LOVE Publix too) but it's nice shopping somewhere where the cashiers don't hassle you for a credit card every time you shop.
