Any questions? Please ask. | Isn't fraudulent/fraud a legal term? After much investigation, I've never found a legal basis that maximizing the barcoded offer is fraudulent. There are precedents in contract law that the most detailed part of an offer can't be precluded by a limited contrary statement.
Also I often read that people have concerns in their couponing as to whether or not the retailer will be reimbursed. That reimbursement to the retailer is based on the barcode, not the text. Often the barcode not only expands the text, but also contradicts the text in a manner that the retailer may then not be reimbursed (though in most cases that would only apply to small indy retailers, except as to the amount off).
Mfrs also sometimes specify in mailers (or verbally in phone calls) that the coupon is good for their other products or some of their other products.
My point is that I agreed with the first quote that any site sets its own rules, but as to this second quote why call something fraudulent without legal basis (& when it's not fraudulent) as opposed to simply saying don't decode coupons here?
Also does this rule include not explaining how to determine the difference between Mfr & Store coupons, & how to determine if a coupon can double scan in stores that double (as textual errors/mis-labels often occur in both of these situations)?
