| Colgate $1.50 Coupon ~No Longer Active~
The Colgate Total Coupon $1.50 PDF was "improperly distributed without their permission" from the manufacturer and posted on a public forum. Since that time it has been downloaded to our computers and masses of this coupon have been printed and used. They are not valid even though they scan. Colgate has a ongoing investigation going on in re this coupon and has notified merchants home office and other parties involved that there will be no reimbursement for this coupon. So, the coupon is not valid and our use, even if we can, is also incorrect.

This was in a Atena booklet that WAS ONLINE. It had several coupons in it, I believe. Where did you get this info from? Steph

I was already suspicious of that IP especially when a lot of coupon board members were using it for wrong Colgates and passing it around. That 's why I'm leery of pdf being passed around and people going on shopping sprees with them. I hope Colgate prosecutes the offenders to give them a lesson. Its about time activities involving coupon fraud be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law so that people will pay attention. Those who are using IPs legitimately are also affected if they just keep quiet while all the abuse is going on because when its their time to use one or two IPs......their store won't take them anymore because of so many fake/copied/void IPs.

I would like to know as well. I got mine from the Atena booklet as well. Not copied or forwarded. Do you have a link to this investigation?

It was "given" to Aetna and Aetna posted it. Bad news all around and Colgate is very agitated over it. I was leery about it because the link was pulled and it was hush hush. They have diligently been pursuing all of the couponing groups to remove the file and have closed reimbursement for it to merchants. Feel free to call corporate and ask about the $1.50 PDF coupon. I confirmed the info with customer service and they didn't know exactly what happened to it, but knew that there was a problem with it. A clear indicator of the intent of colgate is whether you can even locate the file at all anymore!

| ***ITS TRUE*** I just called 1800-468-6502 and the lady confirmed it.. It was givin to certain companies for there customers and was never intended to be made avalible for a pdf file she told me... they are now considered no longer active and companies will not be getting reimbursed from here on out for that coupon. She said someone made them into pdf files and put them all over the internet for usage and that was not what was to happen.. **PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND DONT USE THEM** IT WILL ONLY HURT US AND FUTURE COUPON USAGES** call the number she is sending me free coupons for calling with my concerns Last edited by w1df10wr; 02-20-2009 at 12:37 PM.

mz1cent125, you are so sweet. Don't worry about it. Let's just know that it was a mistake and that we shouldn't be using them anymore. Now that we know that it isn't right, it is clear that we shouldn't use them. And delete the file to avoid temptation!! Been there done that.

when I called one of my WAG to give them the alert, they already knew! A couponers group went there today trying to redeem a bunch!!??? (what in the world are these people thinking???) and they were B-U-S-T-E-D!!! they threatened to call corporate and the SM just smiled at them. I'm so happy this scam will not go on as posted by many who plan to keep using them till 2010.

How will they determine who used it before it was pulled? It would have to be dated afterwards I would think...So, anyone who uses after a certain date then that would have been fraud.

That explains why they denied these coupons for me this afternoon @ CVS. Thanks for the info--although I wish I'd read this thread before running errands!

Thanks for letting us know. I'll bet there are people still using it who have no idea it's now considered no longer active.

Wow, I had no idea.... I thought I read several posts on here of people who made sure this coupon was legit. I feel terrible for having use it in the past. I would have never done it if I had this information before. I will delete from computer and pass on the info to my fellow couponers. This is highly upsetting.
