SYB $5 coffee coupon confusion.......

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that after emailing Kelloggs I was told that the $5 coffee coupons (Share Your Breakfast Program) are ONLY to be used on the loose coffee that you bag yourself.....not the prepackaged coffees such as Folgers and Maxwell House etc etc. Kelloggs really should have been more clear on their coupons as I'm sure the stores are accepting countless coupons that they won't get reimbursed for :neutral: I used mine today on MH because it was the last day of the sale and I hadn't heard back from Kelloggs yet.....then go figure when I check my email a couple hours later they responded saying it shouldn't have been accepted.

It says right on it, "Any brand" so I'd call and get a second opinion.

That is so junk. Does it not say "any brand"? Why does it matter if it's prepackaged or not? Sheesh Kellogg's.

That's how I interpreted it as well! Along with pretty much everyone else on here because I came to check before I used it. If they only wanted it to be used for loose coffee they should have clarified better.....and I imagine if this really is the case, they're going to receive a lot of arguments from stores and customers.

Yah I use them on the Tim's coffee in stores. It says right on it ground or whole bean any ground and does NOT say anything like "Not to be used on prepackaged coffee" :confused:

i was planning to use it on tims too, my parent only drink tims, but seems like they never go on sale? was the one you picked up today on sale?

if they wanted it used on only bulk coffee they wouldn't have any brand on it.. or it would have the word "bulk bean` coffee

It was the part that said "available at participating grocery stores" that made me wonder to begin with. I have yet to come across a grocery store that doesn't carry canned coffee.

If is any brand why there is problem? I don't get it!

I haven't bought any today. However they occasionally go on sale at Metro (I plan to use them on the small tins that are around $6.50. Metro seems the best place since they almost always offer bonus air miles on Tim's.
