What is your ACME's IP Coupon Policy?

[NataMata]

:frown: My ACME does not accept them any longer. I checked 2 others and both said "NO" :frown:

I am in NJ btw.

I'm in Delaware. My Acme didn't accept IP's for a long time (a year, I think). About 3 months ago I saw an ad on their corporate site for printables. I picked up the phone and called corporate to let them know it wasn't very nice to show ads for them when they won't even accept them. Long story short.....my Acme was violating a corporate policy to accept IP's. Within 2 days I was able to use IP's again and there were no longer signs on the registers saying they couldn't accept them. If what I was told was correct, individual stores cannot make up their own policy. In fact, after I reported my store I got another call back from someone else. She actually THANKED me for bringing it to their attention. I would most definitely call tomorrow and just politely ask if it is now corporate policy to not accept IP's. I'm sooooo glad I called--it's so much easier when they do accept them.

Good luck! Please write back if you call--I'd be interested in hearing how it turns out for you.

Mine will accept those with a barcode, but not those with a serial number instead.

Depends on which way the wind is blowing.............:rolleyes24:

I contacted them also - especially with the fact that they offer printables from their site as Bridget mentioned. Here is the response I got

I am in Delaware as well! What Acme do you shop at?

[pookie111]

the store I work in takes them but they have to have abarcode and not be for a free product. I'm in Nj.

And the wind blows in strange directions at the Avondale Acme :biggrin:

I was there tonight and the cashier asked the manager if they still accepted printables. This manager said yes, as long as they scan and aren't for a free product. Fortunately, I didn't have to have the same argument about what constitutes a "free" coupon.

Another Delaware shopper here! I shop in Dover and they do take IPs as far as I know. I almost always use the self check-out. I like to make sure the catalina machine light is "on" and that all my coupons get scanned.

[dealskr]

I'm in NJ too, and my store takes it as long as it is under $5, and not for a FREE. they do the normal store double policy

[Supergirl9801]

WOW>>>so many Delaware gals...me too!! I'm in Middletown...I sometimes wander down to Dover if a deal is a steal and my store's out! So if you ever see me (brunette with two adorable brunette kiddos too!) say hi!!!

[AVONashley1102]

I feel like the odd one out... I shop at the one in thorndale, pa. I haven't had much problems other than some cashiers doubling the no double coupons and some of the not doubling them. I hope there is a good cashier on duty with this CAT coming up :whistle67:
