Yeah I agree with the pp, call again fpr the district manager. That is just rediculous. If the district manager says the same thing, I would ask if they would like you to scan and email them a copy of THEIR ad where it says $29 and any combo of items. I would demand a gift card be issued for the catalina amount because you fulfilled your end of the promotion so they have to fullfill theirs. Period...or else its false advertising. It is not your fault that their catalina machine is messed up, nor should you have to accept an "oh well the ad was wrong" answer. Tell them that would be considered a bait and switch tactic...big no no.

Unless your looking for compensation or something for the hassle, dont call Albertsons CS. Call Catalina at 888-8COUPON and they should see that they messed up and mail it to you.

I've heard that the $5 cats are coded wrong and if they input them manually that your $15 cats won't come out but if they override them when they beep your cat will print. I've only done two tx so far. I used glade cats to pay for both of them and the cat printed fine.

[grandmajoanne]

thank u ! I`m going to call Catalina?? :shrug7:

I think your right ! he keyed in the code ! because they wouldnt scan.
i used the glade cat on the 1st one ...


thanks again !

I just got back from doing this sale again. The first two $5 coupons went through fine and the last one beeped. I don't know if she entered it manually or overrode it but my cats printed. I was going to take the kids to rite aid to get ice cream and on my way there I remembered that ben and jerry's are included in the promo. It came out to 5.80 after my cats but I would have spent that on ice cream for DH, me and the kids at rite aid. I made the macaroni grill pasta tonight w/ clams instead of chicken and it was really good.

I have a lot of Pregresso broth coupons. I am going to mix and match them with the Vaseline and Dove coupons to keep my oop low. I ran out of the Betty Crocker coupons. I wish my Albies took IP's.

The cashier who I believe was the supervisor(did not have name tag) overrode the coupons so all my catalinas printed. I just wish they did not beep.

Btw, I found .75c/1 Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers blinkie coupons at Ralphs tonight. Might be good to use with the upcoming Congra spend $20 get $10 promotion. Hopefully, it starts on the 13th. So, start collecting those q's.

Happy Shopping.
