Do manufacturers look at receipts when they reimburse stores or something? How can they tell if we use more than 4 coupons or not...? Just curious with all these restrictions.

The seller on eBay is selling them at a buy it now price of $6.00. $0.60 a coupon?? Really???

That is an insane price. In my year couponing with AFC, I have only bought on eBay once. We have so many wonderful sellers here that I don't stray. Check out FSOT.

Those coupons and others from the same MFR have had that same wording for at least a year or so now. I would guess you can use 4 at most stores without too much of an issue.

I dont really know the technicalities of coupon redemption. I am fascinated by it and really wish someone with insider knowledge would give us the scoop.

I try to obey the wording on the coupon. I figure that it wouldnt be entirely unreasonable for a MFR to pull the sales logs for a particular time frame at a particular store to look at how many transactions the store's inventory of the product was actually sold in. I know the receipts that we get dont show coupon/ item matchups and I am assuming the store logs are similar. But it would be easy to see if the store sold 100 items in 10 transactions and that 50 coupons were claimed that the store would be in violation of the terms of the coupon even if you could not see exact match ups. Based on some other lawsuits/ claim denials that I have heard about I know at least MFRs work off a typical redemption rate % when allocating the coupon advertising budget so it would make sense to me that they could deny--or at least delay-- payment on the suspicion of misuse. I dont want the stores I frequent to have to deal with that from MFRs so I abide by the terms on the coupon. Now store-imposed limitations I am ok with asking them to bend for the sake of expediency.

I don't understand how they can say "4 of ANY KIND". Who are they to regulate any coupon use except for the ones they issue? Just wow. That means if you plan on Buying 4 in one TX you need to bring 3 extra people with you and make those the ones Q's you use in that TX? So even if you were not an extreme couponers, you could not do this product Q in conjunction with you other grocery Q's? Do we have a throw up un-smilie?

The ridiculousness of it is what makes me think this is some sort of error or at least not the MFRs intention. Plus I dont see how it is at all enforceable since the receipts dont show which coupons are used at most retailers. The MFR could make some assumptions and find gross misuse but anything beyond that is unrealistic as far as I would guess.

The only real purpose that kind of verbiage serves is to confuse people.

[iheartsibes]

So I can bring my mom, brother, and sister along with me and buy 4 in one transaction with each of us giving the cashier one coupon right? And just repeat it with however many coupons I have? Although my brother would throw a fit if I ever made him hold a pack of pads I'm just kidding. I'll do one at a time and see how long it takes to check out. I think we should hold some sort of competition for the longest checkout time for the stayfree deal.

I am confused on the hersheys simple pleasures can you use all three qs?

I agree, it is just going to confuse people and make for a stressful checkout experience.

Is there somewhere we can call to get this clarified? Stayfree CS?

I intend to get as many Stayfree pads as I want regardless of the coupon wording...but boy is it gonna be a pain in the rear!

(but alas, it is a necessity I do not want to spend on...every dollar I save is a dollar toward my 40,000 dollar per year university tuition!)

[tagarza]

I found a $2/1 Revlon tear pad tonight at CVS, amazing because I NEVER find tearpads. It's on any color cosmetics x 9/30. I'm excited because I wanted to get the nail polish, it will be free with the $2 q!

Also found a Dove $2 off any 1 chocolate bar and 1 Revlon nail enamel, the Dove large bars rang up for $2.19. x 9/30

Personally I prefer email. It generally does take a couple of days longer but you have some 'proof' about what was said that way.

[aubreepwi]

If you haven't done it yet.
Buy 2 stayfree for $4
Bring extra person with you and use 2 $2/1 Q's.
Pay 0

Submit rebate for $5 wyb 2 stayfree (this was a peelie and you will need it to do the deal.)
$5 MM

There's also a $2/2 candles coupon that may work out well but CVS.com didn't have any so I don't know the price. Will have to check it out tonight.

That was the first deal I ever did at CVS. I dont even use the Airwick but a $10 gas card for free was too good to pass up! My friends got the Airwick.

This was the first ever moneymaker deal I did at CVS!!! And I remember learning the scenario from you, missdanalu that was a fun week

I think that week is still one of my favorite weeks ever and one of my largest hauls ever. I even went out at midnight and hit up 4 separate stores to get everything

WooHoo!!!

Hope you all can find them.

Also a MM if you have the IPs available back in May, they were for $1/1. I printed them at the time and they have an expiration date of 12/31/2012. So if you're hanging on to some of those, now's a good time to use them.

[tagarza]

Yeah I have those Starbucks IP's and some tearpads.

[nkmcannon]

Silly question, but how do you get the cvs coupon to work? I went to the link but I did not know where to go from there.Thank you so much for taking time to help those less fortunate than yourself.

[coupondiva55]

I think from past experience...the stayfree coupon has a limit of 4 per trans like the p&g coupons...I think p&g and J&J are the only companies that have that kind of nonesense on their coupons...but it still good - especially free stuff... thanks.

[imsatindoll]

Question! Can I do this scenario for the Prohealth rinse?

okay if I looked correctly the prohealth can it be a double reward type thing?

prohealth 2.99 get 2.00 ecbs back (limit 2)
prohealth buy $10 worth get $5 ecbs
so if I buy 4 my total would be 11.96 and get $9 back? ($5 ecb and 2 $2 ecbs)?

[imsatindoll]

I love the Crest rinse and I am totally excited about this as well

[imsatindoll]

I think my math is right and I think I am going to try to do.....(if I screw up be nice )

4 prohealth rinse 11.98
2 hersheys 6
2 amp/starbucks 3
total 20.98
use 4/20 cvs coupon
use 2.50/2 hershey coupon
total oop 14.48
get 2 2.00 ecbs and 5.00 ecbs for the prohealth rinse
get $2 ecbs for the hersheys
get $3 ecbs for the amp/starbucks
total ecbs 14.00
woohoo so its like all that was $0.48 with not a too terrible oop expense...

On a separate transaction I may use one of my 2.00 ecbs with the $1 post honey bunches of oat coupon and $0.55 pepsi coupons to get some cheap soda (.88 for two bottles) and cereal (.99 for one box) for absolutely free oop. I will lose about $0.13 but I wont lose sleep
