I tried to print the Kraft coupons at 7 AM this morning with no luck. Frustrating!

Is everyone still getting the kraft BBQ sauce catalina? The lady at catalina said that my store ended on the 6th. But of course I got the $3 OYNO when I bought 6 on the 9th. But when I bought 4 later that same day, nothing printed :( She put me on hold and came back and said, oh yes, it should have printed $2 OYNO for buying 4 BBQ sauce. She said to email her my receipt and she'll send the coupon. I had already gone to CS in the store and they knew nothing about it.

I also asked about the mac and cheese and she told me the velveeta already ended. I told her that I knew the velveta ended and I was calling about the regular mac and cheese. She said there was no current promo for that. I was surprised. I read her the details from the announcement posted in the catalina forum and she said still said that there was nothing and maybe that was for a different region... So has anyone gotten the mac and cheese catalina to work?

I got a $3 OYNO yesterday for buying 6 bbq sauces. I think it's running until the 24th. Maybe you got a bad CSR at catalina? I'd try calling back and seeing if someone else can help.

I bought 6 BBQ sauce at 1 store, and 4 more at another store, and got the cats both times. I also bought 4 of the 5-pks of mac & cheese yesterday and I got my $1 cat. HTH.

Where did you find this list? My store didn't have any idea. They thought the wording in the ad included all Scott, Viva, etc., since it didn't say 'participating items' or 'select varieties.'

When I was at Albies tonight, they had little notices posted that there was an error in the $5 off of $15 deal:

In our May 6 ad, we inadvertently stated:
Save $5 on your next shopping trip when you spend $15 on Clorox Bleach, Clorox cleaning items, Glad, Viva, Scott or Cottonelle in a single transaction with your Preferred Card. We should not have included Cottonelle.



So, nothing laying out specific items from Scott, Viva, Glad, etc that are or aren't included. Just not Cottonelle.

I talked to Catalina today and they said they had no record of any kind of promotion and to talk to Albertson's. I called the CS number and of course they didn't know, but said to talk to my store and they would find out why the CAT didn't print. I took my receipts from the 3 transactions that I had done and the guy in charge said he'd leave them for his boss in the morning. I don't think it's fair for them to advertise something and then not honor it.

Every time I've called the Catalina Co about cats not printing at Albies, they tell me to call Albertsons corporate CS directly. It is not like SFW. They tell me that the store manager at Albertsons is responsible for coming up with the reimbrsement money.

Your CAT was exactly as it should have been. The promo is Buy 6, Get $3 OYNP, Buy 5, Get $2.50, Buy 4 Get $2.
