[cindycun]

ty...i never did pay any attention to barcodes or base my couponing on them, great info...no fraud here

[amm]

Thank you for the info! I never knew why some coupons double and some don't. Now, I can check out the barcodes and make an educated guess!

Think this needs to be one of those threads everyone is required to read before they log on as we have had so many new people join and there have been some shady if not almost close to shady discussions going on in some of the threads!!

[Jenngreene75]

Thank you and I agree.

[vanilla91]

Thanks for the breakdown of the rules and reminders. Being new and all it's good to know!

[LyndaSLP]

Due to various recent threads... let me clarify something:


IF THE COUPON STATES "GOOD ON MINUTE MAID FRUIT PUNCH" THAN IT IS NOT GOOD ON MINUTE MAID OJ.

PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS USING COUPONS ON PRODUCT ABC, WHEN THE WORDING SAYS TO USE THEM ON XYZ -- EVEN IF THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "ABC' AND "XYZ" IS FLAVOR (IE: MY MINUTE MAID EXAMPLE).

IF THE MFR WANTED THE COUPON GOOD ON 'ABC', IT WOULD'VE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT COUPONS CAN WORK DIFFERENTLY THAN THE ACTUAL WORDING.

WHAT I NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IS.....
AFC WILL ONLY ALLOW "COUPON USAGE" CONVERSATIONS TO PERTAIN TO USING THE COUPON AS WRITTEN

I have added the above to the OP.

[LyndaSLP]

for the day

Makes sense to me. Coupons are a privilege that manufacturers can take away.

DITTO! DITTO! I'm new here and I certainly don't want to do anything I shouldn't. I have learned so much from this site and want it to continue to be available for use and, I've already met some very nice people.

[shoppingagainnow]

Thanks for letting me know, I need to know the "rules" to this site. Ahh so much to remember. But its just common sense on what to say or not, (I hope, I do ok on here)
Its alot of hard work for all that are experienced on here, to help all of the rest of us.
