I haven't had an issue with this at my local stores. What has happened is while the cashier is ringing up my coupons the register has made a weird noise and the cashier would either call a manager or front end supervisor over. When they come over they input a code into the register and the cashier resumed scanning my coupons. When this first happened I inquired as to what occurred, and the cashier said they had to call someone over because I was "saving too much" and they needed a supervisor's ok to proceed.When I looked at my receipt, all coupons that should've been doubled were doubled. Apparently there are safeguards in place when someone has a large amount of coupons to trigger an "alarm" for a supervisor to check it out and confirm there is no fraud occurring.
I don't know if this still works but I remember years ago I would sort my coupons with the highest value to be doubled on top followed by lesser values. Under those would go the coupons that couldn't be doubled like the $1 ones. That way the ones on top would be sure to get doubled and so on. At least this system would work if they do have a cut-off and your higher value coupons would get doubled first and your lesser valued ones might not if you've reached the limit. That way your "losses. are somewhat minimized.
