WM cashier said they don't accept printable coupon SINCE TODAY!

[barbs]

A walmart cashier said their store will not accept printout coupon from now on

Superstore refuse internet coupon , walmart don't accept , I don't know where these printable coupon can be useful?

Then why these product company provide these TRASH printable coupons on their offical website?

JUST WASTE OUR CUSTOMER'S TIME AND PAPER!

I have successfully used several different Internet coupons (found here in the printable section) at numerous local stores - most of my coupons were printed in black ink(printed at the library - no color printing)

likewise, my brother-in-law used several coupons at different stores this weekend (his were in color - looked very professional).

I'll be using some printed Stayfree coupons & one printed Husky coupon later today, as well!

So to answer your question, companies have created "printable" coupons because it's a very easy way for them to literally 'deliver' a coupon into the hands of their customers, (and easily build brand loyalty!)

Internet coupons are an interesting concept, and I am quite happy to use them. (If a retailer declines them, I say 'Thanks anyway', and then take them to a different store. You can just bring the flyer with you to PM, and then get your deal AND use your coupon!)

We just had a newsletter sent out to all zellers employees about the new coupon rules. So if you have any problems at zellers with printables make sure that the cashier talks to thier manager or supervisor. The cashiers at my store like to make up their own rules on coupons.

BMyltoft, would you tell us what the new coupon rules are at Zellers?

Thanks!

Yes, that would be great

suggest to just contact corporate to get the proper info...store to store might be different

My WM still accepts them in Vancouver, BC. I dont think we should be worried. If places all stop accepting them then manufacturers will produce them a different way. i guess we should all tell the manufacturers when they arent accepted.

If companies don't want a person using multiples of a coupon, they should write ONE PER CUSTOMER on it. If they don't, they're going to reimburse the store anyhow, so they should just accept them.

My Walmart is touch and go. I finally had a cashier who did not honestly know, so she did the right thing and asked her CSM. The CSM came over peeked at the coupon for 2 seconds then said "Yep, you can put it through".
The cashier told him that she was told by so-and-so that they can not accept them, and he looked at her like she had 3 eyes and said "We have always accepted them, she is clearly just making up her own rules" rolled his eyes and walked away. LOL

So I believe they do still accept them, just depends who you are ringing your purchase through with. If the cashier says no, double check at the CS desk or with a CSM. You can always call the store ahead of time too, to ask. SAve you some worry and stress getting up to the till.

I always call the store and ask about certain coupons Ie. printables, larger amounts of FPCs etc.

SAves me trouble, time and loading up my cart if they say no on the phone.

This is for US coupons in the State. I can't find anything on ths canadian site.

Their US policy is not their Canadian one, but I used one without issue yesterday, and it was the one of the people usually on CSM who checked me out - when in doubt, either take the item to CS or ask for a manager to confirm the policy
Often its just cashiers worried they are doing something wrong because they dont know or just dont want to type in the coupon

I think people must have abused the $ 5.00 Delissio Facebook Flat Bread pizza printable coupon @ WM a few days back to get lots of FREE pizza so they may be a bit vary now

my walmart got antsy about printables during the delissio promo....cashier said too many people were using them (or maybe some people were using too many.) after talking to CS they let me use a printable but only one. won't be surprised if they stop taking them altogether. try another store OP...companies aren't doing printables to mess with our lives- sometimes it's just lack of knowledge re store policies et al.

I got the same answer this week at 2 different WM's.

Really? I used a printable at an Ottawa WM yesterday with no issues. I wonder if they're just refusing certain ones that they're suspicious about.

[FallenPixels]

If it was the Pizza one, they are having issues with that one - a cashier mentioned it when I was in there last week but I wasnt buying pizza so dont know if they were accepting any. People were going in and using them to buy the store out

This happened to me when Beauty and the Beast came out I tried to use the internet coupon and was told as of that day they were'nt accepting internet coupons and I even went up to customer service and they said they had a meeting that day and were no longer accepting them.was such a bummer and just the previouse week I bought Tinkerbell with a printable.This is in Calgary

[abbasgirl]

I really wish stores would just come up with a one per person policy on all internet coupons. If they put a sign up on the doors everyone would know what to expect and they would be protected from fraud. It just seems like a much more reasonable solution to me than refusing to accept all printable coupons and then making customers feel like criminals if they try to use them.
