WARNING! copied save.ca

[Justine]

And people wonder why cashiers are strict with coupons and don't want to accept certain ones.

Copying save.ca coupons though, that is just pathetic, I feel sorry for these people really I do, stooping that low and all.

That's really not cool at all! I see no point in copying but I know how you feel because I'd feel the same - ripped off if that happens to me. That's totally not cool at all! Thanks for the heads up!

That's so sad to hear. Some people wreck it for all the honest people out there.

In the summer an employee at Pet Valu told me that they were only accepting 3 of the free pro plan tins per person and were looking very carefully at each coupon as people were coming in with tons and tons of them - they'd photocopied them.

Wow that is super lame.

[cdylan]

That really pisses me off,

Sad. Pathetic. Stupid.

Wow! I can't believe someone would take the time and effort to do this. I am all for saving money but really?!

However, here is something to think about...

I joined this site when I was looking for some information on a MIR. I found the coupon trading tab and found some coupons I wanted so I sent a message offering the same value in coupons they wanted as a trade. I assumed it was a simple trade of coupons on par. I was told that one of the coupons was a "high value" coupon and the trader had been offered 10x the value for it. Has coupon trading become too lucrative? As well, I was surprised to see Gift Certificates on the wanted lists.

I am not criticizing your coupon trading. It is not what I am looking for so I do not participate in it but my question is...has is become so lucrative that it entices people to do things like this?

PS I am not endorsing this action. I thought this would be an interesting discussion.

What the hell is wrong with people? Stores should begin collecting the names of people who use fraudulent coupons and reporting them.

[Justine]

If these were used in trades though, can't you just report the person? I mean you have their address. I understand that the person who traded them may have got them from another trader, but you are responsible for what you trade.

Save.ca is where 60% of all our coupons come from. If stores stop taking save.ca coupons, tradelists will be extremely small in the future.

My closest WM SC asked me not to leave my spare Save.ca coupons on the shelf during my rounds last week. Not because they don't want to honour them - but because of the "scanned coupons issue". The dept CSM did not want my account number being "hacked". I am guessing Save.ca has alerted retailers about this exact issue. So sad when coupon use goes bad

Yeah, regular coupons I can leave on store shelves but not save.ca. You'll never know if a whacko finds it and decides to make multiples. Could get you into trouble without you knowing it. So better to be safe than sorry.

i didnt even think of that! thats crazy though.

and in know what you mean about coupons being a way of life....me too! i just hope the fraud stops and save.ca keeps making them. there are some that i really rely on. specifically the Majesta (who doesnt love that one?..lol), the garnier hair care (practically free on sale), garnier hair dye (almost free), tylenol (almost free), reach (free), pantene, olay.

some of this stuff i would never buy full price, like olay facial stuff. i would just do without...lol. so using coupons allows me to have nice products and have groceries on hand.

i cant use "printable" coupons as it is in half the stores in Barrie. they wont take them!

Oh which coupon specifically and which store can I get Tylanol and Reach for free? I use Tylanol for my headaches so would appreciate the info.

Thank you

Wow, how pathetic. I agree with Sally that save.ca should put some kind of a seal on the coupons so you know they are legit and not copied.

[NancyM]

wow that's just horrible and then to turn around and trade them shame on you
