Store Coupon Policies - PDF Versions

[AreaMan]

This is awesome, and should totally be a sticky!

These policies actually would hurt me more than help me. The disappointment for me is that the Loblaws family of stores do have that phrase "cannot be combined with any other offer or coupon" on the back of their coupon zone coupons so no stacking with manufacturers coupons for me....I think it is the same across Ontario from what I have read on here.

Aside from Loblaws statement that they take internet coupons, the rest of their (and Walmart and Zellers) policies don't help me because they clarify the transaction/purchase frequency and that would definitely be a pita for everyone (me and the cashier!!!). So I won't be showing those policies to anyone...just thanking my lucky stars that Walmart is so flexible.

A big thank you to the op for posting these however, it helps to understand what the stores are thinking in regards to coupons. Reps to you!

Actually you CAN stack coupons from the coupon zone with 1 other manufacturers coupon....as long as the Store Coupon says "Manufacturers Coupon" on the front of it. Yesterday at No Frills I PM'd Walmart for Pantene ($4.46) and stacked a Superstore Coupon (75c off cond. when you buy shamp.) with a $2WUB2 Brandsaver coupon. No problems.
Another example is the Old Spice $1 off Coupons that just came out, you could take two of those and stack the $3 WUB2 Brandsaver coupon with them.

You cannot stack one that says "Coupon Zone" on the front of it, because of, as you said, the fine print on the back. "Cannot be combined with any other coupon."

No, actually if it says Manufacturer coupon on a coupon zone coupon, you can not stack it at all - RCSS allows a coupon zone with a non coupon zone manufacturer coupon but never two manufacturer coupons.

Maybe your store manufacturer coupon happened to have missed the legal jargon but most say cannot be combined on them (and the brandsaver one says cannot be combined so even if the other one does, they wont accept it, they both have to have no conditions on them)

No Frills in Ontario never lets you stack a coupon zone with manufacturer, only RCSS and then not all of them

Iive stacked the RCSS manufacturer coupons at No Frills, London Drugs, and of course RCSS so far. No problems whatsoever. At No Frills, I've only tried stacking it with a WUB2 coupon, havent tried 2 coupons on 1 single item.

As I said before, the only coupons you cannot stack are the ones that actually say "Coupon Zone" directly on the front of the coupon. The ones that say "Manufacturer Coupon" on the front are manufacturer's coupons, and can be used at any store you wish.

Yes, you can use them at any store but stores still class them as a reg coupon and you can't stack them unless they state may be stacked (in Ontario unless at RCSS) - your original reply was to someone in Ontario

I can totally understand some people's frustration with the coupon policies. (Don't shoot the messenger )

Despite Store HQ Coupon Policies, it generally is still up to an individual store as to how they will accept coupons. And even more frustrating for us couponers it generally varies from cashier to cashier within the very same store as to how coupons are accepted.

I say don't be afraid to try using a coupon as the worst thing that can happen is that a cashier/manager says no.....in which case you can choose to not purchase the item or perhaps re-try with another cashier at a different time. But the best case scenario is that the cashier happily accepts your coupon and you just saved money!!

Zellers just refused to take my coupons on blue ticket items first time since last year for me. I even mentioned they get the money back and then the cs manager not the store manager says I can allow it this time. I said I will call HO to verify the policy and she said she would as well.. SO she really doesn't know and just said this. I called Ho and explained 2x and the gentlemen, at first says no you can't use coupons on sale items,blue tickets or yellow ticket items... I said WHAT? I mentioned no other store has a problem with this. Then he turns around and says YES.. So I'm just confused and honestly I don't think anyone has any bloody idea what the right and wrong answers are they just make them up as they go. I had this happen over a year ago at Zellers and had to call a district manager (still have his number on my cell) who said YES they accept coupons on sale,ticketed items after I left a cart with about 300.00 with of stuff and he called the store and I went back even though I didn't want to... I understand that things change but geez how hard is it to standardize and train staff and managers on policies. In terms of one per purchase or one per item I don't care what they choose to do as I'll just wait I'm never in a rush and they can ring them in seperately but haven't had this happen as of yet.

I kinda don't understand...lol...I read the l0blaws one, and I can't tell if they coupon stack or not....some times I get the impression companies don't want couponing to be easy

Someone posted an actual Walmart coupon policy with more detailed info. about using coupons - can anyone find it?? it was a couple of weeks ago, I think? Thanks! It would be helpful to post that one too. Thanks for putting all of this together!
