WM coupon policy

has anyone in prince george tried the new WM coupon policy out yet? i keep reading about it and i am itching to go shopping but i dont want them marking down my coupons and i am to shy to argue with the cashiers about it if they do

I have been using the $ 5 off when you buy 2 Olay products on the travel hand creams. They are 1.57 ea so I am gaining 1.86 each transaction and have not had any problems!

they always mark my coupons down i asked the store manager and he said there was no coupon policy and that they follow the coupon instructions.

Hey Jader,

I've recently been to WM in PG and they changed their policy on April 11, 2011. I've never had a problem but I always have it with me in case they want to take it up. I've also bought the trial size Olay and used the $5.00 coupon and I've had different cashiers, but no crap like you've experienced.

This is what I take with me as well as the phone number for their head office Walmart Customer Relations - 1-800-328-0402
7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (EST) - Monday – Friday (excluding holidays)

Hey Jader

I went this morning and used two of the olay WUB2 coupons - the cashier wasn't going to let me do it but I told her about the policy (Lady behind me agreed) and the cashier supervisor came over and said that it was ok. Apparently they haven't let all of the cashiers know about the changes in the policy. Good luck with your trip there!

thanks

Thank you for this! I am going to print it and keep it with me for every shopping trip!

here's a PDF of the Walmart coupon policy

had no problems today :) check the brag site :)

Thanks for posting that - the thought of challenging them is quite intimidating for a newbie, but much more doable with the policy in hand!

Had the best experience yesterday with the best Walmart cashier ever! I had probably about $100.00 worth of coupons on about 60 items that she had to do. She turned her light out after I said that we had a ton of coupons which was a great idea... so we did not have a bunch of angry folks behind us waiting. She went nice and slow so that we made sure she got it all right. Overall... the best experience with coupons so far! Thanks Bev! Will definitely look for her next time we are there. Even gave her some Resolve coupons to use!
