I have a IP for free activia up to $3.00. Will Walmart accept this? Thanks for any help

[Goddessoflubbock]

They should. Although policy says no freebies off Internet coupons, in reality as long as it is under $20.00 you shouldn't have a problem.

Well that is where I was thrown off. It says, Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase. Is that the same as a free item?

If it states free and up to a certain amount, it's still a free coupon without purchase, even if you go over the up to amount. You could try of course, but most likely they won't take it.

You are still purchasing the item before the coupon is used. All coupons state one per purchase. I would try it and if it is not allowed, then have them remove it.

what kind of IP is it ~ pdf or bricks/SS?

if it is a pdf, better check the *CIC list of fraudulent IPs floating around to make sure it is NOT part of the list.

IPs for free items are rare, but when they're in pdf, watch out since 99.9% of the time, they're fake. Facebook also offer lots of IPs for free items but they're usually bricks/SS, so the copies are limited and have unique codes. Watch out for pdf IPs that can be printed a million times since those are the ones that will cause you trouble.

*CIC = coupon information center

I think it's the freebie off the Activia website.

Used two of those Free Limpton Iced Tea Coupons yesterday at walmart. Although I'm not sure the cashier knew what he was doing. He tried to tell me "One per purchase" was one per Transaction. After asking a manager, apparently they had "just changed it" to let us use multiples. After that, he rang up all my coupons without arguing, including the Limptons and WAGS. (Frankly I was ewxpecting another CSM intervention, but he didn't bother so /shrug)

My cashier didn't want to take ANY internet coupons. And when I told her to at leat try, some would go through and some wouldn't. Has anyone had a prob with internet coupons at WM?

It was an old policy before because of the abundance of fraudulent coupons circulating. Now the industry has standardized their internet coupons so that the verify number is different on each one. If the number is the same, then the coupons were copied. If the industry hasn't done so already, the barcodes should be implementing the IP Address of where it was printed, to help prosecute fraud.

using a free coupon thats an ip is a ymmv, while i had 2 printed smartsource free coupons i used a few weeks ago no problem cashier took them fine she made sure the coupons were different with the pins tho, which doesnt bother me, but go ahead and give it a try, they can either say they will or wont

[jolynb]

Absolutely try it. All they can say is no, but they will probably take it.
