Printed coupons at Walmart

[meegs]

I couldn't find any local threads on this. I was at Walmart today and was told that they will only accept printed coupons if the website of where it is printed from is on it. They were scammed a bunch of times with fraudulent ones and it is totally understandable.
I was totally excited thinking I could get a Quantamatic starter kit for free... as they are now marked down to $6 and I had a $6 off coupon.

I know I used some printed coupons at the South Supercentre a couple weeks ago. The Wal Mart Canada coupon policy doesn't say anything about having to have the website on it. I can't remember what site I got this from so I'll just copy the whole thing.

It was at the South Super Centre. She had a stack of printed coupons that they were not to accept, and said that going forward that this would be there new policy. I told her that I had not had any problems in the past and that to my knowledge this was not their policy. She told me that they were not to accept anything printed unless it showed somewhere on the sheet which website it was printed from.
She informed me that they were stung with quite a few fraudulent coupons and are now very leary about what to accept.

I have have found two Walmart cashiers in the past week, even when using brandsaver coupons, to give me attitude about having to take them! You would think it was coming out of that cashier's own pocket! I was at the East store myself.

I used a Livingwell.ca coupon at Walmart south on Monday night without a problem. Sounds like the cashier is making up their own rules!

I was at Walmart last Sunday and they would not take my Ziploc Coupon. The customer service rep said it was a photocopy and it was not. So I just didn't by the ziplock bags.

I used 37 coupons on Friday night at North Wal-Mart and almost half of them were printed and cut out so didn't have the website at the top. I had no problems...

[Kaneda]

I PM to the Zeller's Quadramatic had the flyer and two printed coupons and they gave me $1.02 back. I went to customer service though...so maybe that made a difference? She didn't say anything to me about not taking printed coupons unless it didn't have an expiry date.

This was yesterday at the East store.

Take a copy of the policy to the store with you, unless the company states a new policy, a store can not make up their own I believe. This is what I do!! Hope it helps!

I tried to use the $4 wub 2 ziplock at the south store today and he would not accept it, although I did use a couple $2 Olay on a couple travel items, priced at $2 and $1.47 and the CS told him to put them through no problem.

south wm refused my ziploc coupon on sunday, almost didnt let me use scott towel. b/c no address shows on it. explained that right at home does print on it. was in color too. Its getting harder to use printable coupons. Hopefully right at home (J&J) will change there print out.

I came back on sunday to PM the advil $ 2.99 then with coupon $.99and Coppertone sunscreen lotion $5.99 then with coupon 4.99 I tried to use my printed coupon but they refused . I paid for the items as needed them that day .I even went to customer service and was told that they no longer accept printed coupons.
Did anybody had the same issue this week at that store ?
