Dillons: The party CONTINUES!! update post #1 (Q policy)

[CW&M Mom]

Ok so now they WILL bump up coupons to a $1?? I am afraid I will make the long trip up there only to be disappointed! What a mess

I will only take the hour long drive there on purpose if they bump coupons to a $1.00. I can live without the expired and I don't do that much IP stuff...but I have a place in town that doubles (just no bumping)...they are more expensive...but I can't justify the gas to drive to Dillons without the bumping staying in place.

The email that started the whole policy changed was sent to our stores by mistake, so, in summary, nothing has really changed. It is now in writing that paper q's can be combined with e coupons, though.

Thank you!

A "mistake"? I highly doubt it. I'm sure they changed it because of the input from their loyal customers. Unfortunately I went there today, tried to use 2 expired q's, they scanned but then the cashier looked at them and said "oh no, we don't accept expired coupons anymore." I said "really?" She said, "do you want me to throw them away?" And I told her yes. I should contact the management of my store and see about the coupon policy "change."

Any other Manhattan, KS residents, I would suggest contacting the Dillons stores to make sure they don't try to go ahead and implement this anyway. I definitely need to figure out which cashiers are the friendliest to coupons and stick with those.

It's true I could never switch to Hy Vee for all my grocery shopping. Thankfully our town also has Aldi, Ray's Apple Market, and Wal Mart. I honestly almost never set foot in Dillons until I started couponing.

UPDATE: Lisa on Ff reports that there was an email sent out on the new policy and it was incorrectly sent to our local stores. NO CHANGES, with the exception of it is now in writing that e-coupons and paper coupons will both be accepted on the same item!!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO EMAILED, AND THEREFORE ALERTED KROGER TO THE ERROR! And thanks to Lisa for going to Dillons on W. Battlefield in person and speaking with the Asst. Manager who gave her all of this information.

What a nice welcome home !
Now to send my kids to the trashcan to retrieve expired coupons I JUST TOSSED !

Is the bumping still working? I have a jinormous pile of coupons I want to use there...but only going to drive there if they still bump...

I was there Saturday...all is the same...doubling .55+ up to $1, taking expired. All is good.

Well, when that lady comes next time, maybe they should accept her coupons and then verify them and nab her ! Its always the bad apples.....

there is a online website the stores can check and see if a ip is good or not. I think its couponresouce.com. its on the legit ip's i think. anywho....I was also told that the copies of the bad ip's dont copy the background on the print like the originals do. thats how they can tell too. makes sense to me.

I have had no problems using my coupons at Dillons-every has remained the same-they must have gotten the word out about the "mistake" to the stores quickly. I was kinda sweating today when I was trying to use my free coupon up to $3.50 from Hefty. They always send it in the letter saying thanks for writing, and you have to cut it out. I was afraid the cashier would try to accuse me of printing it out since it didn't have the coupon look to it (no cutting out yourself for such a high value). It went through with no problem! Yea!
