Thank you so much, great coupons... Unfortunately, I gonna have a hard time trying to find a place where this coupons could be accepted... Most of places here do not accept printable coupons any more or like Wal-Mart require that coupon has an site address from where it was printed.
Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Bob, could you PLEASE :) do a PDF of the screen shot too? I have no printer at home and the website is blocked at work. :( Thank you so much.Quote:

This can be done once an individual has registered for an account (as required with the current SC Johnson coupon offers). Retailers can then simply scan the coupon to check if it is in fact a legitimate coupon.

I think that printable coupons (unlike “regular coupons”) can (if used legitimately) benefit manufacturers/consumers/retailers. I am sure that printable coupons are much cost effective for manufacturers because the cost of printing the coupon is passed onto the consumer. I am willing to bet that the cost of a save.ca coupon to a manufacturer is greater than a printable offered by a manufacturer on their own website. Printable coupons are also much more accessible also which allows manufacturers to target a wider customer base. In a similar vein, consumers are generally using the Internet more and more these days (I can’t remember the exact stats, but Canadians rank pretty high in terms of Internet usage), therefore have greater access to coupons. In my experience, coupons are often unevenly distributed and in some cases retailers don’t even bother to display them. I looked endlessly for a MIR form a while back ago, but couldn’t find the form at any of the designated retailers. I ended up contacting the company requesting the form which they sent electronically. Individuals living in urban centres have the luxury of “coupon hunting” at their local big box stores, but those living in rural areas do not. On the environmental front, “regular coupons” leave a much larger environmental footprint than printable coupons. Save.ca coupons for example are much more resource intensive. On some occasions I have received blank pages from save.ca and sometimes only one coupon per mailing. Figure the cost of printing, paper, mail, delivery...it adds up (both in terms of the environmental impact and $$$)! Finally, we can’t forget the retailers. Simply scanning a coupon with a code will save time (no need for drawn out discussions about the legitimacy of a coupon) and money (reduce their losses from fraudulent coupons) and improved customer relations.

Obviously there will always be someone who figures out how to take advantage of the situation, but there are measures that can be taken by manufactures to increase the “legitimacy” of printable coupons. IT/marketing departments are well versed in the latest techniques. I am sure that years from now printables will be replaced with some other form of coupon. I shudder to think what that will be (some form of biometrics...yikes!).
Hey is this what you mean?Quote:

Thanks! I tried doing this myself quickly but it was big and didn't print onto 1 page so it was no good. That way if any cashier wonders where they came from I can just show them the printed page from the website.

Those are not the coupons---if that is what you were looking for???
Hello,
for everyone who's Glade coupons are light colored, this is what I did to make the color darker. I took a screenshot of the PDF coupons, saved it onto my computer, and transferred it onto my Photoshop to adjust the contrast/levels of it to make it darker. Or you can just transfer it onto www.piknik.com and www.photobucket.com both free of charge :) Hope I helped!
I already got the coupons that Bobsagget has kindly put together into a PDF file. I needed the screenshot so I can show the cashier at the store. I had a hard time trying to use printed coupons.Quote:

I assume people are using it as proof that the coupons are legit but actually they aren't because they are suppose to print as a full page and you are only suppose to print one. I emailed SC Johnson and asked if they were suppose to print as a full page and the rep said yes and if they are printed in any other form they are considered a fraudulent coupon. In my opinion printing the coupons off of a pdf is the same as photocopying and this is why many store don't except printable coupons anymore.Quote:
