how long?

[Kawehelani Auld]

how long do coupons usually last before they expire. i.e. valid for 3months?

Totally depends on the coupon

[gctattoo]

Although it depends upon the coupon, there are patterns that some of them follow. For instance, ones from the Colgate-Palmolive corp only last about three weeks. While Reach Q's have been known to last from several months up to almost an entire year-- their BOGO toothbrush Q's being a good example. Most IP's have an expiration of one month from the day of printing.

Some will almost always have an overlap with the new ones coming out way before the older ones expire-- Fancy Feast and Friskies being examples of those. They generally have a few months before expiration anyway, but the overlap is still nice.

Every coupon is different, but you will see cycles of a lot of them that are around 4-6 weeks.

And since joining this board, I have been trying to write to companies, and some send back coupons - which is so great - and those have like a year! It's an easy thing to do to try and get some free Qs

I would have never thought of doing that. Thanks for such a great idea.
