Overview

• Rewe is under legal scrutiny after the Verbraucherzentrale Baden-Württemberg accused its Bonus-App of violating consumer information obligations by withholding sale prices until in-store scanning.
• A previous court ruling against Lidl for similar pricing practices may set a significant precedent for the Rewe case.
• Reports reveal that cybercriminals have exploited the app's 'Gemeinsam sammeln' feature to steal customers' bonus credits, fueling customer frustration.
• Rewe spokesperson Thomas Bonrath maintains the app's security, attributing fraud incidents to phishing and dark web data breaches rather than app vulnerabilities.
• Consumers have expressed mixed reactions to the app, citing its cost-saving potential but raising concerns over transparency and security breaches.
