REWE, EDEKA, and ALDI shoppers in Germany have no official 'Add to Apple Wallet' button for their loyalty cards. Each chain reworked its loyalty setup in 2025, and none of them ships a native Wallet pass. Here is where each program stands today and how to put a loyalty barcode in Wallet anyway.
The short version: REWE now runs its own REWE Bonus program, EDEKA moved to PAYBACK, and ALDI has essentially no card to digitize. The practical workaround for the cards that do have a barcode is to create your own Apple Wallet pass.
REWE Bonus: App-Only, No Native Wallet Pass
On 1 January 2025, REWE launched its own REWE Bonus program with version 5.0 of the REWE App, replacing the former PAYBACK partnership. Customers collect Euro-Guthaben by activating weekly Vorteile and coupons in the REWE App, then scan a single code at checkout.
That checkout code is an Aztec code, shown in-app as the Vorteilscode, with a personal 13-digit number printed beneath it for manual entry. There is no native Apple Wallet button, so access stays inside the app.
Important: how a Wallet pass fits REWE Bonus
EDEKA: Now a PAYBACK Card
EDEKA's DeutschlandCard partnership ended on 28 February 2025, and EDEKA switched to PAYBACK in early 2025. The regular PAYBACK card cannot be added to Apple or Google Wallet natively. Only the separate PAYBACK American Express payment card can sit in Wallet, and that is a payment card, not the loyalty card.
In practice, EDEKA loyalty is now a PAYBACK card with a stable barcode, which suits a static Wallet pass well. For the full walkthrough, see the dedicated guide on adding a PAYBACK card to Apple Wallet.
ALDI: Nothing to Add Right Now
ALDI Süd has no loyalty or bonus program. Its app offers brochures and deals only, and the company's philosophy is low prices for everyone rather than points. ALDI Süd is not part of PAYBACK either.
ALDI Nord runs only a limited analog Treuepunkte test, a paper Sammelkarte with one sticker per roughly 30 EUR of spend, where 10 stickers earn about a 30 EUR discount. It has been tested locally, for example in Berlin. Because it is a paper stamp card and not an app or barcode card, there is nothing to digitize into Wallet yet.

The Workaround: Create Your Own Wallet Pass
NeatPass is an iOS app that scans an existing barcode or card and creates a real Apple Wallet pass. It supports 18 barcode formats, including Aztec and EAN, and 6 import methods such as camera, photo library, share extension, file picker, clipboard, and an empty pass. It works offline, needs no account, and your data stays on your device with no cloud uploads. NeatPass is free for one pass to Wallet and EUR 4.99 as a one-time purchase for unlimited passes. Checkout scanners and store flows vary, so keep the official app or card as a backup.

REWE, EDEKA, and ALDI each handle loyalty differently in 2025, and none of them offers a native Wallet button. A Wallet pass does not replace the chains' apps, especially for REWE's weekly coupons, but it can give you a faster shortcut to the loyalty barcode at checkout.
For the cards that do have a stable barcode, NeatPass can put it in Apple Wallet while the official app stays available for everything else. Check out the complete guide to adding cards to get started.
