Unfortunately, we are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment. Please return to the Pampers.com homepage and try again later.

Anyone else having problems entering pampers codes? Been getting this for 2 days

Send us the link, we will print more for you if you need them. At least I will!

I need high dollar amounts on the lithium batteries (for his new pump when he gets one) if anyone ever sees those. I know pretzels is sending some peelies but just FY&I for future months, years, etc.

*snip*
Thanks DS!

Where would we find the peelies for the lithium batteries? I can look for them while out and send them over to you if I find them.

Quote from stormy_cat :
I have never used it, but I am sending you some anyway. And let me know of a printable link, I have several computers I can print from!
Great! Thanks again!

I have only found a link on www.coupons.com for the batteries. I haven't found an actual Bricks link for it yet. I'm still searching for more sites to print from.

Thanks for your help everybody!! hug

On the double-dipping issue, it's totally YMMV. It's hard enough to use 1 WAG & 1 MQ per item to get 1 overage. I think it's more work to use 2 WAG Qs per item, unless you have a buttload of Qs and the cashier is scanning away.

Lately, WAG is stricter... at least in my area. It's a money maker if you have a good cashier. Evil

I'm up for the challenge! Cool
I'm up for the challenge as well! Thanks for the info. I hardly shop at WAGS and really do not know what to expect. laugh out loud So you would suggest buying a bunch of things together and then having a bunch of Q's? Hmm... I'm going to have to plan this very carefully, I see.

Went to my most favoritist T today. Picked up some prints. Went to check out school supplies. I havent fixed my binder in forever & had bad anxiety about so decided for a small run. Grab a cart load of 75% school supplies, duracell, chinet not much.

I get to the register a cashier Ive used before (im not like most of you - dont need to pick & choose jedis) was great w/ beepers.

Weeeeeeeeeeelllllllll, the B***** from photo comes over & tells her to watch me. She then goes back to photo. My casher is now F*&^ing up my Qs making a bunch of non-sensical piles then YELLS over to the photo girl 'what about these?'

Mind you she hasn't even scanned it yet...photo girl YELLS back 'go thru her bags!!!"
--whatever---
then photo girl comes over & tells me
"THEY SAID TO WATCH YOU & DBL CHECK YOUR QS"
--they???-
--me?-----only??---
(all while little LOD guy is standing there staring)
"Yes you only because you always get a $100 order down to $20"
--so im being profiled & treated like a criminal because Im a smarter shopper then "THEY" are?---
She said Yes!

I mean it wasn't to bad --duracell shotdown because i got 2pk & could only use 1 $3/$10 but Sh*t -- I'm pissed.

Now I need to plan a big @ss run - I'm talking $200 down to $30 - just to shove it in there face.


BUT BUT Its not over...I ge my total & its $30 WAY too high I pay then realize EVERY 75% off school supply only rang up 30% so Now after the criminal treatment I have to go to CS.

So now Im at CS - she cant figure out what 75% is - uuuhhhmmmmm R U KIDING ME?
20 mins later She finally finishes ( w/ little LOD guy coming over to see what Im doing now!-tring to catch return fraud i dont think so guy) then I put my card in & the freaking reg crashes!!!

Im PISSED! She gets me a $3 apology Q - redoes it then adds the $3 q to my order - now they have returned more $$$$$ to me then I spent Stick Out Tongue
It's one thing to watch someone that they suspect may be doing something 'below' board. That's what they have camera's all over the ceiling for. It's another thing entirely to have employees humiliate customers in public. I'm glad you walked out of there w/ money in your pocket. Next time you go, use tons and tons of q's and bring all your family and friends with you. If they want a spectacle, give them one.

Oooh... This is great. I just saw that I can "double dip" with the hearing aid batteries (Energizer). There's two WAGs Q's for $3 off each and then there's a $2 MQ (I need to print more if I can!!) out there. So, if I figure it right... It's $9.49 for a pack of 8 batteries, use the 2 x $3 WQ=6, brings it to $3.49, and then the $2 MQ will make it $1.49 a pack!! ACK! I totally have to jump on this! Thanks for the link to this thread!! Does this actually work? TIA!!!
It totally works. Some cashiers won't like it but you're not doing anything wrong. And the Qs will scan-- I mean, unless there's some random weirdness, which occasionally happens. Just think like you're at Target and look for a young cashier who's not in it for the career. I've never had any trouble double-dipping, but I don't have trouble at my WAGs much.

Quote from doublesided :
I thought so but don't do WAGS so not sure if it's "standard procedure" and OK with them.
There is no "standard procedure" with WAG. laugh out loud It's not like CVS where they are all vertically integrated. They can more or less make up their own rules.

But they're the ones who started putting out the new books two days before the old ones expire. If they didn't want us to be able to double-dip, they why did they start doing that??

Well, it helps. I mean, when I'm trying to roll my RRs into GCs, I always make it a part of a bigger order, and don't just hand over the RRs to pay for the GC. That way it's not so "obvious" what I'm doing. But I wouldn't buy anything you don't need/want, of course.

Here's another link for the 2.00 hearing aid batteries from County Market. I'm not sure if it's a direct link to Coupons.Com or if it will let you print again. I ran out of ink printing the first set on Coupons.Com, so I haven't been able to try this one:

I had better treatment at Target tonight then at WM, considering today's earlier limit 1 Q per item per transaction treatment at WM.

Tonight when I went to WM after Target, the express cashier was a coupon nazi! Cashier was sooooo determined to adjust that $3 Q down to $2.50!!! About 5 people in the line now. Manager comes over and cashier asks him 'is this how to adjust a coupon.' I spoke up, "So you knew how to do it all along!" I paid and when cashier handed me my receipt there was a customer survey on it and I smiled real big and noted her name!

Then on top that when I got home, some how in the midst of coupon scanning/voiding cashier managed to remove one of the $1 coupons, so I have to go to CS tomorrow.

They're going to get to know me real well with my little '1 Q to an item per transaction' trips.

Cool! Is it sad that I'm getting excited about this? laugh out loud

I couldn't find any other sites that didn't have the "Print Limit Reached" message. I'm guessing many of the sites (like redplum.com) use the same main site (coupon.com)? Dontknow

They do but I often find that I can print it again on couponbug. I'll try this in morning, can't print when the boys are sleeping. I'll be able to send at least 4, 2 from my computer and 2 from hubbys.

I just don't understand why batteries for medical supplies are so much more expensive than regular batteries. That's why I really want to help her out. Oh that's right, because they know you have to buy it and have no choice. Kind of like the glucerna & pediasure, not many other options out there, market is cornered.

I was able to enter mine after getting that message by entering my username and password again at the top of the page. I then had to enter all of the codes in the "quick code" spot.
