CT and SDM change in coupon policies?

[LuvAgoodDeal]

I went to Canadian tire two differnt locations to use snuggle and vim coupons. both told me they no longer accept coupons for products in which the coupon is higher in value. So i then went to SDM to use the vim coupon
they no longer accept coupons for more than the value of the product so i was unable to use the vim coupons because they are 1 cent more than the advertised price.
Anyone where they accept these coupons ?? so frustrated thanks you are all a wealth of knowledge im new to the forum and new to couponing.

Did you ask them to adjust it down to the price of the product?
Maybe try a different location...I've never had any issues with SDM (I don't shop at CT)

[LuvAgoodDeal]

yes asked them they said no. so ill try another location hopefully before the end of the sale.... i wish i had a coupon policy to pull out on times like those. Couponing is time consuming as it is.... then you add in unfruitful trips and kids in tow grrr sorry so frustrated lol

Actually doesn't it state in the SDM coupon policy that they do allow overage??


o

If the value of the coupon exceeds the value of the product, the coupon is to

be processed as equal to the scanned retail of the product. The difference will

not be issued as change.

Another option might be to take the flyer to another store (i.e. Zellers, Walmart, etc) and price match.

I had the same problem at SDM, but I've also heard on this site that SDM sucks for couponing in general and that cashiers make their own rules, not just there, but everywhere.

Best thing I've heard is to carry a copy of each store's coupon policy so you have something to back up your issue.

Walmart and London Drugs seem to be the best places for couponing. Anyone have other ideas on great stores to coupon at?

Rexall wouldn't let me use the coupon, but SDM would....I stores were consistent so that we don't drive around wasting our time...WM doesn't always have the items in order to price match.

printed up the policy going to take it back to same store. I dont think its fair that each cashier makes up their own rules. the policy is there to adhere too. can you tell im on my high horse lol

I had the same problem at CT. They are now on the list with Zellers of places that I won't shop at......

Shoppers has not changed their coupon policy. They are still allowed to change the price of the coupon to the price of the product (i.e. product l.99, coupon $2.00) They can lower the coupon to $l.99. I know this because I work there. This is in B.C.

Is there a list somewhere linking to the coupon policies of various stores?

Luckily I have had no problems at SDM as of yet...and rexall has been decent so far too...

the SDM I went to last time didn't allow overage and I ended up using 2 coupons for 3 products... wish I had known overage is actually allowed at SDM
