thanks OP for the coupon. |

Re-did the transaction, 15% first, then $10 off 75, then $10 off 50 office supplies. Register took this combo, but did *not* apply the $10 off 50 to any of the paper, only to a filler pack of $1 envelopes in the transaction. I knew something wasn't adding up right, but couldn't ask the cashier to void out yet another transaction. Big waste of a $10 off 50 as it only took $1 off the total. Tried throwing a 20% off a single item and a $5 off 25 in the mix after all this, neither one was accepted by the register. Bottom line, it seems you can apply the 15% off and a single $-off coupon to the paper, no more. |

how did the $10 off $75 work after the 15% off first? it's under $75 total. register didn't care?

It may have been the attempt to apply 2 product-specific coupons (15% paper and 10 off 50 office supplies) to the same items that tripped me up. Maybe somebody will try only the 15% and the 10 off 50, and see what happens. |

yes i have used $10 off $50 on photo paper.
I think this might be better. photo paper 4 x 14.99 = 59.96 Kaspersky 1 x 35.99 = 35.99 15% coupon = -$9.00 10 off 75 coupon = -10.00 Total = 76.95 you make only $4 but you can cash out a bigger chunk of your rewards. Borg drone |

this is somewhat speculation but with experience behind it. the reason why it only took off 1$ is because of the filler item. it needs to be applied to a specific item since the other items have the other 2 discounts linked to them. i had a similar situation when i bought the keurig b70 with the kcup holder. i was able to use 10 off 75, 20 off 75 breakroom combined. what i found out is when i used both at first it didnt work. then i thought i would throw in another breakroom item to get both discounts. i got some plates for 4.99 and it only took 4.99 off. so what i did was get a 20$ item and it was able to take the whole 30 off for both coupon requirements.
long story short, i believe the best way to do it if you dont mind using the coupons is to get a filler that is $10 that wont receive the 15% off (as i suspect the envelope did not get it) and get it for free since it will still meet the requirement of 50$ spent regardless if you also are using the 10 off 75$ (online orders used to try to make sure your total was like 200$ if you used 2 coupons with a requirement of $100). phew. sorry if it was lots of info. typing on the go because in a hurry :X p.s. the filler item obviously needs to be an office item if you use the 10 off 50 Last edited by jellogk; 11-07-2012 at 08:28 AM..
