I have heard that not all stores take online coupons. Does anyone know who does NOT and is there any way to get them to accept the coupons?

Thanks!

Is it me? Is it my computer? Printer? It seems that over half the time I can't get the online coupons to print. Either it says the site is down right now or else something about a JavaScript needing to me enabled. I've just about given up.

I am having a difficult time using the layout of this "AFC" site. I fear it is quite obviously designed to keep users on the site for more time, to benefit the website itself.

I found a coupon. Rather than follow a simple few steps to print/redeem the coupon, I am given a USER MANUAL on how to use this site (do I really need a set of instructions on "how to coupon"? In reality, the process is quite simple. On here, well...), and am told to search for the coupon in "Coupon Type," a button for which is nowhere to be found on that page.

With so many other, more straightforward coupon sites that are less focused on a site-beneficial community following and more focused on the well-being of actual users, I think I can fail AFC with no regrets.

Thanks!

Hi! It depends on your stores. You can either find the forum for your grocery stores from the forums menu and from there see if the stores coupon policy is on that forum. You might also check the stores website to see if they have a coupon policy. You can even call the store or the stores corporate office and ask. In general, Walgreens and CVS seem to always take them. Rite Aid varies by area. I am not big on RA and ours doesn't take printables. Wal-mart normally takes them, but occassionally someone will run into problems at Walmart. Usually, as long as the coupon will scan at Walmart, you should be fine.

As for grocery stores, again, I would start on this website and look up the forum for the store. You can always post a question on the forum as well. Most AFC users are glad to help!

Printables give many people, myself included quite often, a hard time printing. Don't give up! Many companies have "brick" coupons (the link to the coupon will start with something like http://bricks....) and I think those tend to give the most problems. What browser are you using and are you able to print any coupons from smartsource.com or coupons.com? Sometimes just downloading they print manager seems to make all the other coupons on the web more easily printable!

Hi! I am not sure where the coupon was that you found, but are you sure it was on AFC and not a site you were taken to when you clicked the coupons link? Some of the smartsource and coupons.com coupons open on AFC's site, but you are actually viewing the information from the coupon site.

We all have certain things we like and don't like about website, but honestly, I have tried many others and AFC is my favorite, hands down. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. I hope you will give AFC a chance. THere is so much to the site that you can never get bored! If I can be of any help, please let me know.

I haven't had any trouble printing coupons thru AFC other than with REdplum - and that's because I needed to have cookies enabled which i couldn't figure out how to do. My Wal-mart and Schnucks take the printable coupons with no problem.

hmmm that's odd ~ not many others seem to be having the same problem you are ~ if you are having any issues, please post in contact us and someone from the team will try to help you out. Maybe because you only have one post you're not familar with how easy things run around here.

I am from Tupelo, MS. My friend and I went to Wal-Mart and they tried to reject us for the online printables. Just go to the stores web site and print off a copy of their coupon policies. This does seem to help.

I too am having a problem printing coupons. i'm on my way to the grocery store soon, and i wanted to print off some coupons off AFC, but whenever i find one and try to print it takes me to a diff page where it says choose and print. theres seventy five coupons to choose from, i tried printing one of those off, and it did, but it didn't print out the one i originally wanted to print. this probably makes no sense, , but i really can't figure out what is going on. anyone help?

if u want to see who does and doesn't go to store's websites like walmart and print out the coupon policies and bring it with u when u give the cashier the coupons so they cant reject them.

I sounds like you were taken to coupons.com or smartsource.com where there are other Qs to choose from. Could you have checked the wrong box when choosing which q you wanted to print? This is a new one on me, so I am not sure how to answer!

I have heard that shopko stores don't take printables. I haven't tried yet. (I think a Pamida is the same as a Shopko now so their policy may be the same).

Freds doesn't and they didn't seem to want to talk about it

[tcurtis40]

Go to the stores web site and print a copy of there coupon policy. Wal-Mart tried to not take online coupons from my friend and I and this really did help. Plus she called wal mart in Bentonville, AR and they gave us names of people to talk to when we run into the problem again.
I hope this helps.
