•The system will prompt for supervisor verification for:

yup, I had some problems today too at Wally, they told me from now on is limit 5 of the same coupons, doesn't matter what the wordings on the coupon says, is 5. and also limit 1 pack of meat if price matching an Asian flyer.

This is probably done to prevent shelf clearing - I am totally ok with this limit.

I regularly use coupons and almost always take my purchases to customer service in order to avoid problems. This policy might be inconvenient when it comes to higher value coupons, such as: $10 off Pampers diapers (that I have received from the company for valid complaint)

Please link to where this coupon policy is stated, thank you.

Here is the link to the new updated the Walmart USA corporate coupon policy http://corporate.walmart.com/coupon-policy. Walmart Canada follows the USA policy, so pretty soon we'll see changes too.
As you can see new lines were added:

• We have the ability to limit the number of identical coupons and the number of coupons for the same item per transaction.
• In all situations, we reserve the right to limit purchase quantities to typical retail purchase quantities or one-per-customer or household and to exclude dealers.
• Store Managers have the final decision in taking care of the customer.
• The system will prompt for supervisor verification for:
  
  • 4 or more like coupons per transaction.
  • A coupon of $5 and over.
  • $50 or more in coupons in one transaction.
  • Coupons totaling a percentage (%) off of the total sale.

Also, definitely new lines:

We do not accept the following coupons:

• Checkout coupons
  
  • Dollars/cents or percentage off the entire basket purchase
  
  
• Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase ( it means no FPCs? )
• 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

They are trying to reduce the number of coupons per transaction, for sure, plus to limit the quantities of sold items...

Slightly off topic, but I was shopping at Loblaws Bayview Village and Sobeys at Kipling and Queensway (both in the GTA) and in both cases, I was using coupons worded "Limit 1 per purchase". The managers at both stores chose to define a purchase as everything you are buying on one receipt. I tried to argue that a purchase was a single item (ie, 2 bags of frozen fries on the same receipt is 2 purchases), but they did not accept that.

I wish that manufacturers would do what Cavendish did and print "Limit 1 per item purchased" to be as unambiguous as possible. However, if retailers start overriding the limits with their own store coupon limits, this becomes somewhat moot.

Interesting, because I've always been under the impression that Walmart Canada didn't have an official coupon policy.
Only guide lines for manager to follow. Thanks for the heads up though!

i was waiting for something like this to happen.. i knew it was only a matter of time.. walmart sees soooo much coupon abuse

[Anna Michele]

It was only a matter of time too many abused coupons and shelf clearing

[SavvyLady]

I'm ok with this..I think 4 is fine..but there will still be people that will just do separate transactions to get the amount they want..

[wamme]

You just have to do separate transactions now like target they don't take any more than 4 coupons like in 1 transactio

[annedougherty]

If people just stuck to buying reasonable amounts of things in the first place then there would be no problem I don't typically buy more than four of anything anyhow. The same things always go on sale and the same coupons keep coming back around. i haven't overpaid for anything in over a decade lol. I know couponing is fun, but certain habits of certain couponers affect everyone.

I noticed at the Walmart in the south in Regina - has this policy sort of printed at the cash registers - limit 4 for sale items and cashiers have the right to deny the amount of coupons used and I saw at customer service when I was returning an air mattress always enforce limits of 4 of the same item. But someone told me that the south has people from another city clearing shelves and I definitely saw empty shelves there. But when you go the Walmart in the east totally different and I didn't see any limits and the north walmart was weird.
