Printable acceptance Issues

This is a general discussion about coupons . com printed coupons.

So I'm wondering, is anybody else having issues with stores accepting coupons dot com IPs?

My reason for asking this is an issue started popping up regarding their coupons. A minute ago, I printed 2 different brand coupons from there. Tried to use them at one store & the register refused to take it. This is 1 of my fav stores & the shift said the register said that the first coupon was fraudulent, to hand it back to the customer & don't override the coupon. This came from scanning the actual bar code on the coupon. It also tells the cashier how to break the news of refusal to the customer. (FYI your beeping coupon may be a fraud alert vs a no matching item. Ask the cashier the message the register is giving if your coupon beeps & report it back here). I saw the screen's message so it stated just that. So tried it in a separate transaction & it said the same thing. I pulled out my phone to let the shift see it's from c dot's site. Took the same coupon to a different store chain & it had been rejected also. Since I print straight from c dot & I do not get coupons from "fairies" ,the coupon is definitely the issue.

Ok so the second brand coupon said the same thing on a different transaction. Must be the store's register so I kept them both since they can't take it unless the manager approves who wasn't there. Normally I'd think it's just the store's system until something happened at yet another store chain.

Third chain store sometime later down the road another issue in general. They are having customer IP issues & are refusing to accept any IPs thinking they are fraudulent (copied). Never an issue before but now it is. I suspect that it isn't fraudster couponers in this case but bad IPs c dot are issuing even if the register takes the coupon. I know that c dot had some issues as coupons "begin to print" aka "sending to your printer" a little ways back. They either "sent to your printer" blank or said it printed already. But upon them fixing that issue, they permitted the user to print the coupons that didn't actually print. But once a store sends to redeem, if a coupon is deemed bad, the store is alerted to the issue via payment refusal. So I'm thinking c dot doesn't realize they're issuing some bad IPs. So the couponer looks like they are committing fraud even though they aren't.

I begin reading about a separate chain (other than those above) from other couponers. One person stated her store refused IPs too & another person the same thing at a different store chain. And these are legit couponers having IP issues. Some kind of way, there are bad IPs being issued through their site. I think the recent spike in refusal of IPs are the bad codes c dot are producing & it boils down to bad Veri-fi scan dot codes. Since my stores know me, they know my coupons are legit. But this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Since the Veri-fi code tells the cashier the coupon is legit, the IPs should not kick back as bad. So if the clearinghouses "Veri-fi" the codes & they come up as bad, then they refuse payments to the store. This could be a new headache for couponers that aren't doing anything illegal. But you can't explain to a store if they aren't getting paid for the IPs that you use.
