Do you mind sharing if it was a particular coupon that was an issue, or if you would pm me that would be great. Embarrassment

I say that because in the past, both before these ridiculous updates and after, I tried to do a missed coupon on a bogo TQ. First was the B3G1 Kraft mac n cheese TQ, in early May? I had bought 4 packs just the day before and no matter what customer service tried, they could not do a missed TQ for that. I was a little peeved because the 4- 4 packs and a toy were the only items I bought on that transaction, no coupons at all used. Last week I bought 3 more sets of the Kellogg's cereal than I had TQ for. Tried to do one missed TQ for the bogo Fiber Plus, even getting back $2.66 would have been nice. Again, register programming couldn't do it (according to the guest services person).
The register was limiting it to 1 TQ per scan of receipt - had to do it all separately then..... Facepalm

And all MQs are getting message of "Coupon is not for item"

This is more than one store too Annoyed

I usually don't do missed Qs - just suck it up and move on. But from the couple of times I have, this is a vast change for the worse. Only reason I've been trying to now is because the few times I've tried to use Qs at T lately, they scan in and then don't show up on receipt or factored into total.

My thoughts exactly. I was actually going to comment on the article and realized there was no way to do that. Oh well.

Baby got 2 teeth today. Or at least I should say I "discovered" them today! I don't think they've been there long.

Hey MOT2 - How did the first day of camp/school go? hug I hope there weren't lots of tears.

target has the update for returns as well:

my sister tried to return something yesterday that she used B1G1 Coupons on the item but it took off 0.00, so when she tried to return the register didn't take it since she used the coupons, she ended up keeping it

What a pitb! hug I hadn't tried to do a missed coupon since May so I don't know when changes took effect. The store that did the 4 C9 coupons at once was one of the first in my area to get the updates. I wonder if it's like someone suggested, there are variations of the updates that are being tested in different areas? Either way, guess they need to change their missed coupon policy.

Well, good... maybe that article will discourage idjits from shopping and ruining our stores...

Wave

I am having an uber cranky day. uber. cranky.

And for some reason, very emotional. If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was pms'ing.

Anyone have some decent deal ideas for T? I'm trying to figure out if I should do a run or not. Are SB prices still at $2.49, or did they go up this week? Wonder what prices are on cereal now - *laugh*.

Hope you are all feeling well and doing well.

Maybe I should take a nap.

WTF is that crazy business? I didn't realize there was an update for returns as well. Annoyed Now I'm not an advocate of returning things that Qs are used on, but occasionally it happens.

Unless they can give back the MQ, can they deduct it from the return? I would especially be peeved to lose out on a BOGO. Could be like the idiot store near me that wouldn't allow an exchange, did a return for me to get a larger size Pullups. That was store staff choice though, not register programming.

eta hit enter too soon. That is crappy programming on T's side when the BOGO didn't even deduct anything, yet the customer couldn't remedy that programming error by returning the item that didn't become free, as stated on the MQ.

Wonder if the return could be done with a gift receipt?

hug Thanks BB. DXH just called. The doc just left. No coming home today Sadwalk He's doing the deep sleep thing again. Doc said his blood levels are all over the chart so he is in until he gets stable. Hopefully that will be soon. I'm not a fan of having him sit in a hospital bed. Too many germs, other issues. Oh well. We'll shoot for tomorrow.

And I agree on the return thing Annoyed T needs to get their stuff straightened out. They do have a return policy they need to adhere to. If it were me, they would have to SHOW me on my receipt where I got credit for a coupon, or else they WOULD be issuing me a refund. Of course, I'm tired right now, so I may be more bark than bite Teehee

I am multi tasking. Watching the news, reading SD, coloring my hair, doing some laundry, making some lunch. Then off to give DD a ride to work and back to the hospital, then back here for the AC installation, then back again to the hosp.

I'm so glad it went well.

I actually was thinking about the diva the other day. I saw a woman with a huge Q binder sitting in front of the travel section at my local tar-ghetto. No flipped collar, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't her. I couldn't help but think how sad that lady was going to be when all those Qs auto'd down for the price of the item and she ended up with no overages!

On the returns...

On the receipt for the item, does it show the item then the item subtracted or does it show the return value?

So, this is from the same lady that wrote the yahoo article??? She thinks she knows how to save money but doesn't think using coupons is worth it?? All of the crap on that blog is a whole lot harder and time-consuming IMHO than shopping with couponsTeehee
