hi,

can someone please explain the exact policy of accepting store coupons, target, walgreens, cvs, etc.

my question specifically is walgreens june coupon book coupons. "save $x on blah item"

coupon policy i see i obvioulsy read it much different than the CSM.

[babymk]

Target, Wags, CVS etc most of those do not take competitor's q's that say for XXXX amt off. Walmart is supposed to price match sales prices if you can show them the flier, but ymmv. This wouldn't apply to a WAGS coupon booklet price.

Now this applies UNLESS it's a manufac q. At least that is how I read the policy.

If you had a CSM say you can't do it, then stores have the right to refuse q's.

Best to call the corporate office and ask if unsure on a policy.

i called corp. and they dont explain the policy over the phone, i have to wait for an admin can call me back. My mgr is very understanding and is willing to accept but like you said, YMMV. so with thsi particular item, i guess i'll just have to wait it out!

The Walmart coupon policy is very easy to understand on this and very clear. They DO NOT accept $ xx.xx off of xyz product competitor coupons. If the coupon is xyz product for $ xx.xx that they do take it is basically a price match. Hope that clears it up.

To add to the above they "Will Take" competitor coupons as long as they state "Manufacturer Coupon" on them, have all the mail to info for reimbursement and an expiration date

This is what the policy states. It's really YMMV.. Most will do it as a price match. HTH

We DO NOT accept the following coupons:

Competitors' coupons
~Dollars/cents off at a specific retailer
~Percentage off
~Buy one, get one free (BOGO) coupons without a specified price
~Double- or triple-value coupons

What they do accept

Competitors' coupons
~A specific item for a specified price, for example, $2.99
~Buy one, get one free (BOGO) coupons for items with a specified price
~Have a valid expiration date
~Are acceptable in black and white

^^ as PPs explained, I read a lot of arguments about WM NOT accepting Target store coupons like $2 off on Revlon cosmetics. I don't see why shoppers should argue about this when this is clear in the policy stated above. Problems usually arise when shoppers start comparing their shopping experiences where some will say they can get away with whatever they want since THEIR store allows it.

With that said, IF WM terms and conditions on coupon use can be summarized in 4 letters,

official policy is YMMV.

This TOTALLY depends on your store. I urge you to go to customer service ask for the store manager, NOT a CSM and ask all of your questions. That said, my store DOES accept these coupons regardless of the policy.

My store accepts other store coupons. IF it says "manufacturer coupon" on the top, it is a regular coupon. IF it says the store name on top, i.e. "Target web coupon", it is treated as a price match. Which means that it CAN be stacked with a manufacturer coupon. Example:

Tide: Walmart price $10.00
Target Coupon -$ 2.00
Man. Q. -$ 1.00
Total: $ 7.00

I have run across the abreviations page a few times, but now do you think I can find it.
What is YMMV? TIA

Your Milage May Vary. It means it may work for you or it may not.

I'm new to this whole thing and was wondering some things... If I have the flyer from Publix showing B1G1 with their price, can I take that flyer to say Walmart and get that product B1G1???

Yes, as long as the specific price is listed. If it just says BOGO without a price then no.

[carrie318]

Ok my add says B1g1 free save up to 3.99 so that wouldn't work ?? I'm so confused I have 7 kids and my husband is the only one working so I really need to get this figured out

I don't believe that will work, but it might be a ymmv situation. The way it is in the policy it would have to be for example, "buy one at $x.xx get one free"

[sfrank79]

I think it's at a mgrs discretion. Because I have gone twice and asked ahead of my shopping trip and they both said they would take them. I was using the printable target coupons. Ex. Oscar Meyer bologna 2 printable coupon for $1 off. Is what I did last week. If you are price matching and see a good deal why not try only takes a phone call.

This is definitely a YMMV situation. My WM will price match BOGOs when the ad says "save up to" but some WMs won't. The only way to know is to ask at the store. I recommend going to the CS desk or call before you shop.
