But...here's how it *will* work in reality (assuming your store's system attaches q's to items): the q is coded to attach to the two Kikkoman products, so any other Kikkoman q you use will beep. YMMV on convincing your cashier/CS rep/manager/whoever to push it through. Coupons for produce or eggs or milk or some other generic category of items that are worded "$x off produce when you buy a widget" will always be coded to attach to the widgit...because they can't be coded for "any produce" or "any eggs" or "any milk" or "any other generic product category". In theory you should be able to use a q for the widgit along with the q for produce wyb a widget, but it will be a YMMV situation. Reps are back...for now.
I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am! Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too. |

The MFQ will say on it "Limit one coupon per purchase." You are only purchasing one Jello, so you can only use one Jello coupon. Now, if one coupon was a store coupon (like Target or CVS), you could combine it with a manufacturer's coupon on the same item. But not two manufacturer's coupons.

General Q: My CVS takes expired Qs. Should I ever worry that they're not getting reimbursed for any MQ because of this practice? I want to make sure my CVS will continue to accept Qs for all shoppers and I'd hate to see the store completely deny Qs in the future because of some non-reimbursed Qs. Thanks!
Make it work.

A rough guesstimate would be that so long as the Q reaches the clearinghouse within 2-3 months after the exp date, it will be redeemed w/o a second-glance. I remember seeing some printable Hasbro MFQs awhile back that specifically stated that they *must* reach the clearinghouse w/in six months of the stated exp. date or else they would not be reimbursed. HTH! |

Dear Mod Team,
I realize that you cannot FORCE people to coupon "responsibly". You cannot go with them to the store, scrutinize their every purchase, and stand beside them as they hand over their coupons, making sure that all coupons are being used on the correct products and that the manufacturer's "intent" is being abided by. I realize that. But when people are openly posting about coupon misuse (some even AFTER being corrected by fellow SD'ers), shouldn't there be repercussions for that? Since TLC's EC show, the stores have become a free-for-all for every idiot that gets a Sunday paper and owns a pair of scissors. Can we PLEASE have some help on the boards when trying to teach people that "if you aren't going to coupon ethically, keep it to yourself!!!"??????? Some people need a sympathetic pat on the head ... with a hammer. |

We did...actually I did respond to that and the MA's that were sent. We do not discuss what actions may have been taken with other members. I did delete the posts that were MAd.

Thank you Schoobs.

Due to the current SD settings, I'm not comfortable with everyone knowing who I rep and what I say in my reps. So while I thank everyone for their contributions, I just may not be able to personally since everyone & their DOG can see it. Please - make your Activity Stream PRIVATE HERE! Need a coupon? Come see us in the Printable Coupon Thread....Printables |

I'm just curious where the information about the B1G1 "01" and "14" coding comes from...and I don't just mean the "barcoding thread". I mean...where did whoever the "powers that be" find that info from to begin with? A call to a manufacturer?
Also, why is this the supposed "rule"? I have used "14" coupons with $ off coupons before and have had them NOT beep...then again sometimes they do. I'm not sure what does/does not cause it to. But I must say, since the wording on the coupon doesn't preclude (unless of course it does obviously) using another coupon with it. I just don't understand why this "rule" exists on this board. To me, if a MF wants to prevent a customer from using another coupon with it then it should be written on the coupon...like the DND q's. Otherwise it should be allowed. I agree with another poster who said that MFQ's aren't supposed to be so "difficult" to use...otherwise a FAQ or Instruction Booklet of some sort should be in every coupon insert. |
