[micuet]

This time when i got my favorite J &J coupons i noticed they r not valid in any store or pharmacy in Quebec... this is soooooo sad for .what did u guys do about it???

[ashleyeve]

What product line was it for?

[PurpleBunny89]

Trade them. Call the company and complain.

[MelSprag]

I would call

[Jasmynflower]

I'd be happy to trade you if you can't use them!

Shopping road trip to ONT or NB? Just kidding - I would definatly call J & J they could possibly have Quebec specific coupons and if that fail you could trade them - someone might have ones without quebec restrictions.

thank the provincial laws for that. if it's for any medicinal things, like tylenol or even mouthwash, we're not supposed to be allowed to use coupons in the pharmacy. that's why when everyone else got printable listerine coupons, quebec's was a mir.

The coupon i had was of Jhonsons baby essentials and then the other day i tried anther coupon which is $2 off any displayed products like Splenda etc(i wanted to use it for splenda) but unfortunatle it also says the same"not be used in any store or pharmacy in Quebec).i called J & J but they said that this all we have and every1 is getting the same coupouns and also its not us who put this restriction but its the Quebec laws or something which is not permitting us use these coupons there........strange no one else in Quebec had this problem..?????

i get J&J baby coupons when I call, I live in Quebec and they work... maybe cuz nobody ever read the fine print? They work at walmart and Maxi anyways :/

Another QC member posted about these here

There should be MIR instructions on the back of the coupon you received ... like this one or this one

No ? I know we have QC laws, but it boggles my mind why a CREAM coupon would have to be MIR

Tbites, I am the one who called them and they said because "some" of their products "may be considered" to have medicinal ingredients (i.e. creams), they had to have it as a MIR in Quebec.

However, last I checked Stayfree pads did not have any medicinal ingredients. So I complained again. I was told that the company could not print coupons specific for each of their products and had to group products together - Stayfree, OB, Tucks - well Tucks has medicinal ingredients, hence the MIR in Quebec.

I am saving them to use just over the border in Hawkesbury next time Pharmaprix has a 20x the points with a good sale on Stayfree. I am not doing a MIR.

I guess the "retinol" in my face cream is a medicinal ingredient Damn wrinkles ! I've been meaning to email them about the MIR because I wonder if they have a limit of 1 MIR per household or per transaction... when I buy their stuff.. it's always because I buy on sale and multiples at a time. Is that why you won't use them as MIR ?

I won't use them as an MIR because it is a bit of a hassle and I am afraid that I will have problems if I buy multiples of one product. What if they make a mistake and I don't get my money back?

As well, it is the principle of the thing. I don't understand why they can't just have coupons for the non medicinal products like tampons and pads and the MIR for the other stuff?

Had the same experience last week trying to buy pads...

So frustrated I ended up ripping all my J&J coupons.

That is why I am going to save them for a good sale and go over to Cornwall or Hawkesbury.
