Walmart coupon policy

[staranais]

I talk to walmart canada yesterday and ask them if they have a coupon policy .. they told me they don't have any coupon policy ... I just don't understand ...

[leda]

That was also the response when I e-mailed them. As far as I see it, if they don't have a policy, than any coupon should be taken! I'm really not sure how a company (especially one like WM) cannot have a policy!!!

[staranais]

But where this policy come from .. I mean the one in this topic ... ?

these are "Guidelines" given to Walmarts only and are subject to change. That is why they do not have a Policy for the consumer on their website. Coupon abuse is what is going to change these guidelines. The store managers have the right to refuse any coupon that they feel is fradulent or suspect in order to protect themselves. So if you are printing 100 copies of a coupon to get overages they will restrict how many printed coupons you will be able to use in their store. In my store we restrict internet coupons to 6 maximum.

how can you restrict? What I mean is I will go outside and come back in to another cashier no? Or how about if your religon says you can wear a facemask, how would you know I am someone new or old? Limiting does nothing because you cannot control the population even if attempted IMO

I think everyone should remember that this is only a guideline.....Each Walmart is able to go by their own policy.....and in the end it is up to store managers how then run their store....I have saw people on here get bashed for deals they got at Walmart using coupon zone coupons and people saying that they are not allowed to use them....if their store allows it, then good for them.....

Until a few months ago (although I've never asked if this really is policy now) our WM too coupon zone coupons because our RCSS is thier only competetor. People used to flip out on me here for that

[sharkie]

sorry to hear that they did that to you...

[Britter]

So all this time I've been paying tax when I use a FPC or BOGO, and I shouldn't have been??
Clearly the cashiers don't even know their policy?
Think if I took all my reciepts in they'd adjust them for me? Doubt it.

I'm a cashier at Walmart and the reason our store will limit to 6 if someone has a crazy number of items is just for inventory reasons. Our store manager wants to make it fair for other customers coming into the store to have equal opportunity to purchase products, instead of people wiping them out. Could you go outside and come back into the store and go through a different cash? Possibly. Depends on the situation. Unless a manager is being strict about it, there's not much anyone will do to stop a customer doing so. But our hope is that customers will have courtesy for their fellow shoppers and leave some for everyone.
That being said, it's not just about whether there's some of the product left on the shelf or not, its the overall quantity one customer takes. If a bunch of people come in buying 15 each of one item, it'll go faster. And with Walmart already having good prices, and price matching on top of that... we sell out of things daily.

Just my two cents. I've dealt with a lot of people saying the limits are silly. But its just to try and be fair, is all. It's not always just about making the immediate sale.
