'Free' £2ish Lindt chocolate for Shopmium cashback app newbies

Follow the steps below to get the 'free' Lindt choc, plus further down there are other freebies for both new and existing Shopmium users.

1. Sign up to the app with our blagged code. Download Shopmium* and sign up. Then use the code MSE to get the 'free' Lindt chocolate offer added to your account automatically. See below for step-by-step instructions on how to do this, with screenshots.
   
   
2. Buy an eligible Lindt product in-store or online. Within 15 days of adding the code, you'll need to purchase one of the three eligible Lindt Excellence 100g chocolate bar flavours – 'extra creamy milk', '70% cocoa dark', or 'dark a touch of sea salt' – within 15 days of signing up. You can buy it from ANY shop – they were £2ish at most stores we checked (max cashback is £2.40). Double check the size and flavour of the product. If you're shopping in a store you can use the Shopmium app to scan the barcode to be sure you've got the right one.
   
   
3. Get and keep your receipt, then take a photo to upload. Make sure you get a printed receipt in store, or with your delivery/click and collect order if you shop online. To get the cashback, you need to photograph the receipt and upload it in the app by selecting the piggy bank button and then 'Request My Cashback'. You'll also be able to use a photo of your online order if you shopped online. As long as you shopped within 15 days of adding the code, you'll have an additional three days after this to upload your receipt, but I recommend doing it as soon as you can so you don't forget.
   
   
4. Keep the packaging so you can scan the barcode. You'll also need to scan the barcode when you upload your receipt for Shopmium to check you've bought the right size/flavour of product.
   
   
5. Get your cashback automatically. With many apps, you need to physically request your cashback once it gets over a certain amount. If you set up your payment method in your Shopmium app profile, your cashback will be paid automatically into your PayPal or bank account, whichever you choose. Once Shopmium verifies your cashback, it should be with you in 48 hours for PayPal, or 72 hours for bank transfer. Shopmium told me the whole process shouldn't take longer than five days.

Note: You may receive an email telling you that you only have eight days to redeem your offer. This is not strictly true, as after eight days Shopmium will send a reminder email stating that your offer has been 'extended' by another seven days to a total of 15 days. It does this so people don't forget to redeem their offer.
