How to Request your own Copy!
You should carry the store coupon Policies in your coupon binder! That way if you run into a checker or mangier who is unfamiliar with coupons or with the stores policy you can whip out the policy.
Don't just give up if the casher says sorry we cant take this for some reason ( with a smile) just show them there policy and ask to speak to a mangier. And don't feel bad about using your coupons the store gets 100% reimbursed and they get a 5-8c handling fee so in some ways its better than cash.
Walgreens, Target, Walmart, Safeway and Rite Aid have taken a great step to make couponing easier by making their coupon policy available online. But, if you are shopping at other stores, you may not have access to their policy. If you want the Coupon Policy for the store you shop at, simply copy this into an email and email it to the Customer Service department!
I suggest requesting that the response be mailed to you, instead of emailed because a hard copy holds much more value. The policy will come on company letterhead and it will have YOUR name on it- you can’t argue with that!
To whom it may concern at ______________________,My name is ___________________.I’m learning how to become a Krazy Coupon Lady and I’m looking forward to shopping in your store with coupons. Before I begin, I would like to request a copy of your coupon policy. Can you please clarify your policy and answer these questions?
- What kinds of coupons do you accept?
manufacturer coupons, printable coupons, e-coupons on my loyalty card
- Do you offer store coupons? Where may I find them?
- May I use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on one item?
- Do you exclude any coupons? Ex: above $5 off, BOGO offers, coupons for free product?
- Do you accept Internet Printable Coupons? May I print them in black and white?
- Do you match competitor prices or take competitor coupons?
- What is your policy on overage: when the value of the coupon exceeds the value of the product?
- If the coupon exceeds the item’s value do you adjust the price of the coupon down? Ex: $1.00 off coupon on $0.97 cent product.
- Do you limit the number of coupons I may use per transaction?
- Do you employees understand “one coupon per purchase=one coupon per item”, not “one coupon per transaction”?
- Does your store ever double or triple coupons?
- Concerning buy one get one offers. If your store runs a BOGO FREE promo, may I use 2 manufacturer coupons for the 2 products? Or may I only use one?
- Are individual stores allowed to impose their own rules or vary from this policy?
Thank you for taking the time to educate me on your store policies. Will you please mail your response to : {provide your name and address}
