Ok I see what u mean. I just scratched part of the card just enough so I ca see 4 numbers. Flashlight trick didn't work for me. I think te miniscule scratching I did would be no problem. Card is might scratched from sitting in my purse all day, though you can't make. So I think it shou

If you use a flashlight, you won't be able to read the barcode but you can see the UPC lines clearly.
From right to left, if you see four "thin" (exact) lines is a M&M $5 off.
If you see 2 "thin" followed by 2 "thick" lines, then it is a $5 off.

Did the tape trick. Got $5 M&M's.

Brother has paper route. Mom will give extra scratch cards that are left over. Will do tape trick to them. If $5 M&M coupons then will try to just go to CS desk with DH in tow and get two coupons, if they don't let us without buying something (despite it saying no purchase neccessary) then we will just leave.

Now if any of them are actual $5 off coupons we shall see what we pick up. Not a good idea to bring DH in this instance. Also I've got $10 or so in CT money to fill any money I actually have to pay out. Imagine! Paying money out of pocket?! PFFFTTT not me!

This with the lines work perfectly Many of the CT 5$ cards was visible without flashlight, only sun light, but not behind the card (the lines was very clear, the numbers not enough, but if you have a good eyes, you'll see them). Thanks a lot for this info I managed to find 11x5$CT and 9x5$M&M. Go ants, go fast, because if you rest at my home, I'll buy a Raid for you

Still trying to figure out how ppl are being able to determine the value of their cards -- I use the flashlight and can see lines but believe all 7 of mine are M&M's as they seem to be thin lines --any advice is GREATLY appreciated

Grrr i can't figure it out, its driving me nuts! I see No numbers at all. My barcodes are 2 thin lines, 1 space then 2 thin line!!

You have the M&M coupon as you have 4 thin lines.

If the four thin lines are exactly the same size then you have the $5 M&M card. Tried and tested...I would post a photo and was fiddling around with my camera phone for hours and couldn't figure it out...sorry guys...

My neighbour gave me hers and she got a $5 card. Lucky woman, even luckier me since she gave it to me!! I have one of each now. I'm perfecting the tape trick. I love my DH because he says technically I didn't scratch it so they still have to honour it. You can't really tell I did the tape anyways but I love how he is getting more in to the argument of certain coupons.

[couponmummy]

I got a $5 M&M, but holy moley, my bro just called me and he has over 40 $5 CT cards and even more M&M when he did his condo/appt recycle bin diving.

He's going to put some in my mailbox on his way to work tomorrow so I can start shopping and not waste a day. Yay me.

[greencanuck]

Good luck with the shopping!
They have printed "1 card/person" this time, so multiple cards may be more difficult than the last time.

[kerrylj]

Man these are hard to read other than the barcode.

Atleast this time it is good for 3 days so more time to hit the stores close to me.

[torontogal12]

I conveniently only have 2 of the $5 coupons and my CanTire has an upstairs cash and a downstairs cash so I will go in and out the diff entrances. Looks like I won't be able to get the M&Ms coupons which is too bad b/c I love that place. I have 9 of those M&M ones if anyone in downtown TO wants them

[happy_me24]

I have (from right to left) 2 thin, space, 3 thin. I think that's the M&M card. YUM!
