I think they were having major hiccups tonight because I didn't get 2 of mine. One was 10.53ish and the other was over 11$. Out of 8 transactions, one I messed up on and was 14 cents short (oops), 2 didn't trigger the cat, and 5 worked fine.

Do you have to wait 24 - 48 hours to contact Catalina Mkt? I can't remember if there's a waiting period until they can see the transaction or not. I'm definitely calling about the last 2 because I know I was over 10$ and bought the same stuff I had bought in earlier transactions and got the cat.

I am sure there is a waiting period. but not sure if it is 24 or 42 hrs.
I just did 11 transactions today and I had no issues with cat printing.

So my DH went to do the powerade deal last night and one of the colgate deals. For some reason, the last two powerade q's did not go through. Are we SOL for getting that $3 back?

The coupon not redeemed....
Also, I went to a store today and they missed putting one of my $1.50 q's through. Any chance that I can recover that?:sad:

Several weeks ago I had a cashier that didn't take off my coupons. I got distracted and didnt notice it in the store because I was buying other full price items. I went back the next day with a written list of which coupons I gave the clerk and was given a refund without a blink or a single argument. It was a lot too - almost $12.00.

I wanted to point out something since you mentioned it.

I have been having a problem with the powerade coupon - Make sure that you are getting the full value.

The powerades are $1.00
The coupon is .75/2
The last several times I have done the deal, the register has been taking off .75 and .25.

I "think" the problem starts when the cashier rings up one and multiplies it 15 times. I don't think it happens when they are scanned individually. I have not been able to test that theory because since then, I can not find enough in any one store to do the deal again.

OMG and the argument I got from customer service to resolve it was just insane. Twenty minutes to make them see.

They kept insisting the register was right because I was getting something for free and they were not going to give me more than free.

I kept repeating my point over and over, "no, the coupon is off two - If I got full redemption of $1.50, I still would be paying .25 cents each - I am not getting anything for free"

It got resolved - but, it took a long long time and many people to get heard.

Thank you for your post! I am going to mention it to my favorite CS person and see what she says. Between the two transactions they forgot to scan 3 coupons for a total of $4.50. I wouldn't care as much if I had the coupons still but they kept them and I didn't realize there was a problem.

I was going over my receipts from tonight and my Powerade coups went through fine, but the Kelloggs ones didn't double-at all. And I bought 6 using that particular coupon. I expected that they would stop doubling and such after the 4 coupon limit, and that's okay, it's their policy and I would've followed it exactly if I could've, but I needed 7 Kelloggs to print my cat for 3 free milks, so I took the risk. But I can't think of any reason that they wouldn't double ANY of the Kelloggs coupons-Meijers did last week and they have the same policy.

Then my Colgate cats didn't print on two of my Colgate transactions, but did on another Colgate transaction that was IDENTICAL, so I know that was just the cat machines. Then I had one of my $2 Pillsbury cats not print, too, so all total, I think it's about $10.80 that they owe me (more if they would double all 6 of those coupons, but I'm not asking for that), and will be going back to CS in the morning. Overall I had a good trip, though, 4 transactions and I spent $37 on what totaled up to be $151 worth of groceries and hba products, so I was happy. Oh, and I walked away with 1 milk cat and a $2 oyno, and of course the $10.80 in gift card that I'll get tomorrow. (The cashier even wrote on my receipt that they didn't print, so no arguments from CS I don't think.)

All in all, even when a cat doesn't print or whatever, I've always had great luck with GE's customer service. They usually don't even blink if you bring a legitimate claim to them about a cat not printing, coupons not coming off right, etc., so I'm thankful that they have trained their CS people well in this area.

I was at the Parkway Center Mall GE, and the GE pepperoni that's 3 for $3.99? Most the packs had $1 off coupons stuck to them! So ended up 3 for $0.99. Going right into my freezer...

Uncle Ben's Rices are on EPR 10/$10. There are $1/3 MFQ's out there making them 3/$2 (aobut $.67 each) Not bad considering the OP is $1.85/box. I think the tag said EPR until 4/15/09. HTH!

Pthappy6started it

She bought 4 cans of the Dole Mandarin oranges that are on sale through today and got $1.00 cat

Yesterday I bought 6 Mandarin oranges and 4 of the tropical fruit and got a $1.00 cat and a .75 cat.

Now it gets even weirder - today I bought 6 cans Dole Tropical fruiit
$1.00 each use three .55/2 coupons= $2.70
Got back TWO $1.00 cats that say thanks for buying Dole Tropical Fruit


=.70 for 6 cans of Dole tropical fruit.

[mddaustintx]

Interesting. I've bought them in twos, and in fours, and I think 6 or 8 at a time and the biggest cat I got for the Mandarin Oranges was $.75
