The wal-mart in my area hasn't taken printable coupons for a long time because people took advantage of them.

When I print coupons in colour I never have any problems.If it is black and white,after 2-3 min of turning and touching coupon cashier would tell me it is photocopy.So I like to refill my ink cartridge several times before I recycle it,usually colour is not very nice and even,at least no one ever asked me if it is a photocopy.

I haven't had any trouble with them at WM but I've only used one printable at a time there. RCSS is good with printables too.

I had a problem in Uniprix here, but not Walmart. This really sucks though.

has anyone ever read the little sign to the right of the til? My husband and I were in wally world yesterday. I purchased chicken gravy (advertised on the shelf for 4 for $2.00) I got to the til and the lady rang it thru at the regular price. I happened to notice this sign that said if the non-ticketed item is rang through at the incorrect sale price, you get the first one for free. well, I pointed this out to her and she just shrugged her shoulders..........I did, however, get the sale price, but nothing for free! go figure Walmart! Dont make policies that you cant keep.

Have used any coupon in Walmart before

First one free sounds like a good deal especially when the item is over $10.

The Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code has this instead:

(a) if the correct price of the product is $10 or less, the retailer will give the product to the customer free of charge; or

(b) if the correct price of the product is higher than $10, the retailer will give the customer a discount of $10 off the corrected price.

I have a copy of the newly modified Walmart coupon policy. They can limit the number of identical coupons used but cannot refuse them. (The store manager highlighted the parts that concerned the situation I was in, ignore what is written in ink, that was my husband lol ). As long as printed coupons are not fuzzy they cannot refuse them, if they do I would threaten to involve head office an follow threw if they persist - but I'm a hard ass lol. If you ask them for a copy of their coupon policy they have to print it off and give it to you.

hi mdrew. just sent you a pm.

Hmm...4 for $2. Was it with a sign that read that, and then had Multi in the upper lefthand corner of the sign? If Multi buy, would scan up at regular price, cashier hits total, shows up as a discount on the receipt (and each line of the product would have a Linksave line with it). In that case, all is OK. But if not a multibuy (and most are, by the way), then yes, IF you call them out on SCOP (you won't get it if you don't say anything), first item should be free, the other 3 at the sale price.

YES, they CAN refuse them. If they suspect they are fraudulent, or the possibility that they are, they will refuse them. A store manager can override the policy --- if a store is having problems with printed coupons to the point that it is costing the store (because they haven't been refunded for them by the manufacturer because of issues), the store manager can limit or refuse to take printed coupons. I personally do not like them -- it is because there is too much fraud going on. People printing multiple copies when it's limited to one per household. People making photocopies of the one they've printed. You name it. Head Office just turns things back to the store manager anyways. Store managers are in charge of their budgets, their inventory, and they can override the policy as they see fit.

It is sad that people take advantage of anything they can...
