Fred Meyer FAQs

[prettykid]

I'm unsure of this one as I know that FM does not generally take any type of competitor coupon, although I have heard a member or two mentioning that they will take one competitor coupon, not sure if this would apply to pharmacy though....

I have a question on the Fred Meyer rewards program. When it started a couple of years ago I wasn't going to sign up because I don't do my weekly grocery shopping there so would probably never spend $500 in a quarter to get the rebate. The checker told me to sign up anyway, because I would still get good coupons in the mail. I have never received any mail from FM.

Today my mom was giving me FM coupons for $3 off a $3 purchase, $2 off a $2 purchase, etc. She said she gets them in the mail from FM. She also says she rarely spend the $500/qtr there either.

I went online with my rewards account and my address is correct. Does anyone else, who is on the Rewards program AND doesn't earn the 500 points per quarter, ever get these coupons?

Thank you

They changed it a while back, to one point for every dollar you spend. For every $100 you spend each quarter, you earn $1. We just got ours in the mail from last quarter, and we got a $3, a $4, and a $2.50 (not sure on this one, but I'll take the extra .50!) I had a little over 900 points. They break it up by months, so the first month I spend over $300, the second I spend over $400, and the last I spent a little over $200. So the $3 was for the first month, the $4 was from the second month, and the $2.50 was from the last month. I hope this makes sense, LMK if I'm not explaining this clearly. Hope it helped!

Does Fred Meyer accept mq's in addition to their q's?

Yes you can use a Manufacturer with their store coupons. But not with the goldenrod colored ones they have hanging around the store. Those are also manufacturer ones.

I have a question.....is there a coupon policy to look at? I was a freddys today, they have there dawn diswashing soap on BOGO, I had two coupons, the registered beeped-which was a downer, then he decided I couldn't use a coupon on the free one....which case in point....YMMV??? I was so depressed, don't know if I should call the customer service number and ask or justlet it be-I was really looking forward to getting some dawn renewel free with the 1.50 coupons.....anybody have an answer for little ole me?? TIA!

Yeah, that would be a YMMV thing. At my Fred's, bogo's ring up as full price, then it subtracts one off. If you had a bogo coupon for the items, you "should" be able to use it to get both "free", but also a YMMV. I, myself, have never tried doing that one. Some cashiers will push it through, some won't.

Does anyone know if FM has a senior discount?

There is one 4 times a year (quarterly) on Tuesdays It would be announced in the weekly ad. It is 10% off except grocery. Not sure when the next one is.
