    Default Two questions:

    If I find a manufacturer coupon online for example a 3M coupon for $1/2 how many times can I reprint it and use it like if it allows me to print it 8 times can I use it 8 times or do they have like some kind of code or something where I can only use it once? I was gonna post a link but I didnt know if I was aloud to. And if so can I use it in the same transaction? The coupon says one coupon per purchase?

    And since Im here I have a Target coupon question my target coupon says limit one coupon or offer per transaction. What does that mean?
    Thanks!

    If you are able to print it 8 times, you should be able to use it. I don't know of many manufacturer sites that will let you print something that many times though. Usually the limit is 2, but its not unheard of for limits to be higher.

    You can use more than one in a transaction. One coupon per purchase means for every one you buy, you can use a coupon, buy 2, use two, buy 3, use 3. One per transaction means just that: only one coupon is allowed per transaction. To get around this, some people will go to uscan and do more than one transaction.

    Many Internet coupons have a special code that is different from the bar code called a Veri-Fi code. It's a unique code for that coupon. If you print the same coupon twice, you will get two different codes. There's a website (google "Veri-Fi coupons" and it should come up). You can punch in the number and it tells you what the coupon is for and ALSO what the coupon should SAY (in case someone has tampered with it). This is to prevent people from photocopying coupons... Not ALL IPs have these, but most of the ones from the bigger sites do.

    Ok, I tried to enter my # there but my coupon doesnt look like the one they show. It has a bar code with a bar code number under it and another bar code type of looking thing with another number above it. So when I just entered the whole numbers its not working.

    Hmmm, might not be a veri-fi-able coupon then.... but you would want the other number (the one above or below the black and white squiggly box....) not the one under the bar code. That's a different number

    If it says one per transaction, you can still use multiple coupons in the regular line. Just tell the cashier you want to do separate transactions.

    i believe the 3m coupon you are talking about is a PDF coupon. Majority of 3m's (scotchbrite etc ) coupons that are printable are pdf's. and yes you can print multiples. no codes to say that you can not use more than once on the pdf's.

    as far as the target coupons...they all say "one per transaction" or "one per customer" except some of the insert ones. one per transaction = order ...one per customer = one per you .
