UPDATE: So this morning I jumped through the required missing Scene Point hoops, sending them the " proof "
that I had spent $82.00 on April 11th and was supposed to get the 800 Scene points. I just got the email reply,
this one sentence made me smile.



Good grief! the offer was right on the front page of their FreshCo flyer??

2nd update on the missing 800 Scene points.

Weird that they deposited only 400 points into my Scene account on April 13th but it took until today for them
to deposit the other 400 points?? If the points were not that substantial I would have passed on this whole thing.

I went to Maxi to pass a bunch of FPCS.

Update: The FPCS was for cats and it was not for me it was for my friend cat....

I said to the cashier READ the coupons the taxes are included.

She said if I dont charge you the taxes We will not be getting refunded...that is not even true!!!

She said no they are not,I will charge you the taxes...

I ended up paying a bunch of stupids taxes and I was right I was not supposed to pay the darn taxes.

Even I argued she want to heard nothing!!!!

I wanted to exchange for a friend the FPC Temptations Wacky Blasts for a friend cat and the wording of the coupon is not good.

I picked the pictured bag but it 180 g and the wording said it as to be 85 g...

The 85 gr bag dont exists....

The wording is not good...

Hi @cath007

We also noticed the Whacky Blast coupon seemed to imply a larger bag was what you'd be allowed BUT
we could not see any of the 85 grams bags at NF, so we grabbed the only 85 gram bag of the Temptations
MixUps ( chicken, catnip and cheese ) and the cashier allowed the coupon to be used on it. I STILL had to
pay .25 for the tax. I'm grateful my cat likes these new treats.

@flemeth @walkonby

But I just think this cashier is being difficult.
With others cashiers I never pay taxes.
And it really say the taxes are included in the face value of the coupon.
But its written so tiny....
And for me in my point of view a free product coupon (FPC) MEAN and SHOULD BE completely free...
Btw I written to Mars for the coupon...waiting a response back.

I also have a lot of frustration when I use coupons at certain stores. I feel that the stores aren't providing clear training to employees on the use of coupons because not a lot of people use coupons and they don't think that it would serve them to do the training.

@flemeth @walkonby

Update I got a response from Mars.
They said the stores have the liberty to carry the products they want and they cannot do nothing for that.....
Basically they said the product is carried at Wal Mart ( the 85 g)
But it dont change the typo error of the picture of 180 g to me..
And that they have no replacement coupon to send to me..
Oh well...
I will just forgot this coupon....
I never go at Wal Mart it is at the end of the city...
Not worthed for 1 coupon.......

@GeorgiaK:

Yes, so true.
I have a lot of frustration with that.
I now choose when I have price matching and coupon the cashier.
But yesterday it was the only till opened.
And it is just reality not want to be mean but at Maxi the evening and week end they are students who dont care and know nothing about coupons so they always mess up my coupons grrr....
I try to choose my hours when I go to Maxi....

Actually, I prefer going when students are working at Maxi (and other stores) because they don't care and I am able to easily use coupons and price match.

I absolutely hate leaving others waiting for me, which is why I pride myself on being on time. It's responsible to be organized and plan ahead.
Yesterday my ENT specialist office phoned my home number while I was at the Hospital in the middle of a treatment to say
that the 3:00 p.m. appointment I had scheduled for Wednesday ( today ) was NOT possible, I HAD to be there for 9 a.m. ARGHHH!!!

I phoned them back once I got home to remind them I'm in treatment everyday until 9:30 a.m. ( at a Hospital NOT close to where they are )
and that the 3:00 p.m. appointment time was CONFIRMED by them the day before??

Then I reminded them that I had to reschedule my Transpiration Service pick up to get me to the new 3:00 p.m. time. I had it originally set

for a 10:30 pick up. The reason they gave me for the confusion was they had a " new girl " on the desk who was unaware these appointments
on Wednesdays cannot go past 3 p.m.

We did a back and forth...exchanged words.....whatever!! So they allowed me to keep that 3 p.m. time slot. Just hoping traffic is not too bad for the Transportation person coming here to pick me up. No one needs this sort of nonsense aggravation to get their BP up.

Update:
@walkonby :
I was able to use the cat coupon fpc with a typo error at Maxi and Cie.
Supervisor had to agree after explaining the typo error.
I used the coupon on the Wacky Blast bacon flavor 180 gr.
I did not argue about the taxes.
I did not wanted to push my luck
Friend cat is happy lol

[walkonby]

most of today I could not access sc. I logged out and did other stuff......argh!!!!

[cath007]

@walkonby:
Me too same thing.
I could not access to Smart Canucks.....
It's getting very annoying and frustrating.....

[cath007]

No luck finding coupons I need...
Or they are at another grocery store that the one the post said they where found AND or they are already cleared....

Saving money for me is not an option and it's getting very difficult.....
