Target Updated Coupon Policy 2011

06/15/2011 By Sandra

It seems that this “Extreme Couponing” show is making all stores revamp their coupon policies! Target has just updated theirs!

Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it’s easy to use them at our stores. When accepting coupons, we follow the guidelines below.

Manufacturer and Target Coupons:
Target accepts one Manufacturer Coupon and one Target Coupon for the same item (unless prohibited by either coupon).

Item purchased must match the coupon description (brand, size, quantity, color, flavor, etc.).

Coupon amount may be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied.

We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item.

All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier during checkout.

All applicable sales taxes are paid by the guest at the full value of the item.

These guidelines apply to all coupons accepted at Target (Color Checkout Coupons, Internet Coupons, Mobile Coupons, Mailed Coupons, Coupons from Newspapers and Magazines, etc.).

Internet Coupons:
We gladly accept internet coupons that contain a clear and scannable bar code.
We do not accept internet coupons for free items with no purchase requirements.

Mobile Coupons:
Guests can receive Target Mobile Coupons by signing up for Text Alerts at Target.com/mobile or by texting COUPONS to 827438 (TARGET).

Message and data rates may apply. See site for full details.

To redeem, simply show your coupon barcode to the cashier. With one simple scan, all applicable coupons are applied.

Buy One Get One Free Coupons (BOGO):
BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free). Unless stated otherwise on the coupon, the use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the valid items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price.

I believe we all knew this already!

A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.

*If a Target BOGO coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.
* If a Manufacturer BOGO coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.

Exclusions:
Coupons are void if copied, scanned, transferred, purchased, sold, prohibited by law, or appear altered in any way.

We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.

Some items may not be available at all stores.

We do not accept expired coupons.

Be sure to print your copy of the new Target Coupon Policy and put it in your binder.

Walmart ~New BOGO Ad Price Matching Policy and Coupon Policy!

05/16/2011 By Sandra

Walmart now has updated their Ad Matching Guarantee! It’s best if you print it out and keep it in your coupon binder or purse, so there’s no confrontations. Also print their new coupon policy if you haven’t already.

Ad Matching Policy

Coupon Policy.

So far I have had NO problems with the new coupon policy, and I’m hoping if I ever do their Ad matching, it will be the same. In anycase, I have them both printed and with my binder.

Heads Up: Publix Is Changing Their Coupon Policy

04/28/2011 By Sandra

Publix officials confirm they are considering a major shift in how the Lakeland-based grocery giant handles coupons, just as extreme couponing becomes a national trend.

I don’t have a Publix in my area, but I thought I’d post this for those who read my blog to give you a heads up!

WalMart Coupon Policy Revised Again On 3/16!!!

03/21/2011 By Sandra

The new Walmart Coupon Policy has been quite the talk of the town, sort of speak, and they have revised the change to their policy!

The policy now states that they will NOT accept the following coupons:

* Checkout coupons
o Dollars/cents off the entire basket purchase
o Percentage off the entire basket purchase

* Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase

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

Which means Walgreens Register Rewards, Winn Dixie’s $5 off $35 coupons, etc. will NOT be accepted.

Please go HERE and print the NEW Revised Corporate Coupon Policy and put it with your coupons!

New WalMart Coupon Policy!

03/07/2011 By Sandra

Woo Hoo! Walmart has finally released an awesome much clearer coupon policy!

The two biggest changes are:
1) Walmart will now offer change back or overage on your transaction when a coupon exceeds the price of a product. Example: If you have a coupon for $3.00 off and the item is only $1.87. You will get the $.1.13 back in cash or off your bill (if you have purchased more).
2) Walmart will now accept Catalina coupons that are clearly marked as manufacturer’s coupons.

I went to Walmart yesterday and the coupons for overage worked! I had one item that was $1.87 and I had a $3 off coupon and when she scanned the coupon, I read the register screen it asked if $3 was the correct coupon amount and she hit enter instead of adjusting it down!

Walmart has updated their site with the new Coupon Policy which can be found HERE. I am going to have a widget with all store coupon policies and link to it as well.

Policy consists of:
Walmart will accept the following coupons:
* manufacturer’s coupons
* Internet printable coupons
* competitor’s coupons that have a specific price listed
* soft drink container caps
* Catalina coupons clearly labeled as “manufacturer coupon”

Provided they meet the following criteria:
* one coupon per item
* coupons must have an expiration date and be redeemed prior to expiration
* change or overage will be given if a coupon exceeds a purchase
* coupon must be for an item Walmart sells
* coupons must be presented at the time of purchase

Walmart does not accept the following coupons:
* Internet printable coupons for a free product
* competitor’s coupons for dollars, cents or percentage off, B1G1 free, and double or triple value

Management approval will be required for:
* transactions with 40 or more coupons
* any coupon with a value over $20
* $50 or more in coupons in a single transaction

I do highly suggest that those of you who have had issues with couponing at Walmart, print a copy or 2 of the policy and take it with you (if you run into a problem hand one copy to the CSM to keep).

I separate my coupon items from my regular priced items so I can see the savings right away and if there is a problem with any coupon being used, it’s easier to find that item and tell the cashier to remove it if it’s an item I really didn’t need and was just buying because it’s a good deal or a freebie.

(Thanks goes to DealSeekingMom! She’s a WalMart Mom who helped with the new policy!)

Dollar General Coupon Policy

11/29/2009 By Sandra

If you have five coupons for five products, you may use them in one transaction unless the coupon states otherwise. If the coupon states that it is good for any product, you may use the coupon for any product even if it is not pictured, unless the coupon states otherwise.

You may use a Dollar General coupon along with a Manufacturer’s coupon for the same item, as long as neither coupon states otherwise.

Unfortunately, due to fraudulent attempts, we are unable to accept internet coupons, unless they were e-mailed to you directly from Dollar General.

Target Price Matching Policy

11/16/2009 By Sandra

Our Low Price Promise Facts
At Target, we are dedicated to offering exceptional prices on items throughout our stores.

As of July 12, Target stores nationwide will match advertised prices from competitors on identical items in local markets, assuring guests that our products are priced right. We’ve been testing Our Low Price Promise in Target stores in the Denver and Orlando markets since March 2009 and in select Minneapolis stores since May 2009.

Our Low Price Promise showcases our commitment to offering low prices and value to our guests. We’re giving our guests peace of mind that they can get a great deal at Target.

We are confident we have low prices every day. However, if our guests happen to find a lower price on an identical single item – defined as the same brand and model number that is listed on a local competitor’s printed advertisement, during the effective date of the ad – we will match that price.

We are communicating Our Low Price Promise to guests through our weekly circular – in Sunday newspapers and online. In our stores, we’ve included signs at the front door, checklanes, endcaps, guest service desk, electronics counter and freezer sides.

It’s still too early to gauge the impact of program but so far, guests have requested very few price adjustments.

How Our Low Price Promise Works

Within seven days of purchase, guests can bring the actual printed competitor ad and a Target receipt of purchase of the same item to our in-store Guest Service area to receive a price adjustment. Photos/copies of advertisements or receipts will not be accepted.

In an effort to ensure that our checkout lanes are efficient and quick for our guests, we’ll handle price matches at our Guest Service desk. If a guest wants to do a price match in the checkout lane, our team members will ring up an item at the current price and then direct the guest to the Guest Service desk to do the price adjustment.

Price matching will apply to current, local print ads for in-store products only. Our price-match policy is not applicable to Target.com or other online ads. The following is a full list of exclusions:

Target.com or online retail promotion

Competitor’s Free Product

GiftCards

Limited quantity items

Open box or damaged

Clearance or closeout

Mail-in offers

Services (warranties, assembly, etc.)

Bundle offers

Special order

Sales-tax promotions

Liquidation/going out of business

Special financing

Coupons

Used or previously owned

Display merchandise

Pricing or typographical errors

Club or loyalty Value

We have significantly increased our emphasis on communicating value through our marketing, in-store signing and merchandise presentation. Our Low Price Promise demonstrates our commitment to offering great value to our guests.

Target remains true to our brand promise of “Expect More. Pay Less.” We’ll continue to focus our efforts on the “Pay Less” side of our brand promise, while continuing to offer our guests what has helped us differentiate ourselves from our competitors: high quality, great design, affordability, and an inviting shopping environment.

At Target, we have a long-standing commitment to being price competitive with other retailers. We also remain firmly committed to delivering the newness, innovative design and exceptional quality Target is known for.

Target Coupon Policy

06/29/2009 By Sandra

Target’s coupon policy from Guest Relations:

We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued and manufacturer-issued. We’ll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it. We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item; in this case, we’re able to adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item. We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you’re checkingout.

Wal-Mart Does Price Matching

06/22/2009 By Sandra

Price matching
Our goal is always to be the low price leader in every community where we operate. Our customers trust us to have every day low prices … there’s no need for “special sales.”

Our unbeatable promise:
Store managers make the final decision in always taking care of our customers, but we do have guidelines for matching our competition.

We do honor “Preferred Shopping Card” advertised prices.
Must be like items, be advertised and require a competitor’s shopping card, for the discount to apply.

We do not honor advertisements that require a purchase in order to receive the advertised price or free product.

We do not honor “Buy One / Get One Free” advertisements.

We do not honor double or triple coupons or percent off advertisements.

We do not honor other retailers’ “Misprinted” advertised prices.

We do not honor Internet Pricing.

We do not honor competitor advertisements from outside of the store’s or Club’s local trade territory.

I was told that the Wal-Mart near me does not do Price Matching, so I will be printing this out and bringing it with me! I advise you to do the same thing!
