Harris Teeter ~ Question: Anyone get a Velvetta cups raincheck??

[GardenGnome]

My usual HT is great about rain checks and wrote out one for the velvetta cups as $5/5 with a total of 10. I asked the manager if I'll get the $3 off when I redeem it and she said "yes" it will come off automatically. ??? She even reminded me to do them in separate transactions but that they could use the same rain check for the separate transaction. Anyone been told this? The other HTs I went to told me I was out of luck on the cups since the can't right a RC for a free product but they took into account the $3 off 3 when the gave me a mayo RC for $1.50 each.

So, if you got a velvetta raincheck, how did they do it??

I was told No on the RC for the Velveeta with the discount. Said there was nothing they could do about it and I would NOT get the discount at a later date. I was so bummed. I went today (truck came last night) and no Velveeta cups. I personally think they did not reorder because they KNEW at that point they were freebies. Maybe I am just paranoid.

Same problem at my store but I shouldn't have waited so long to go. Guess I will have to go the first day they have this again (if they do).

I asked for a rain check and my store would only do it for the $1 each cup sales price, not for the buy 3 items get $3 off. I was told that the $3/3 was over 5/12 and that it wouldn't be honored past then. (North Charlotte)

I got a raincheck written out for free. It was the Brookdale store in Charlotte. We'll see if they'll honor it when I try to redeem it.

I got a raincheck for the $1 price, then he gave me $3 cash because he said it would be too confusing to redeem a rc with the $3 off.

At the other stores I just asked if they would substitute the Kraft bowls.
They did no problem. I didn't use the coupon on the Kraft though, as much as I wanted to - I felt like I'd be pushing my luck and I wanted to stay on good terms with everyone.

i have two rainchecks
one for 3 free
one for 3 at $1 each then store coupon for $3 off (all written on the rc)

once I explained to them that the $3 would come off instantly at first they were like, no it will be a coupon that prints out. so they pulled out the ad and I kindly pointed to the "automatically" in the deal, and they said yep it will come right off then. so after they realized that, it wasn't an issue.

I got 2 rainchecks as well. One for 5 for $5, and another that stated $3 off wyb 3. We'll see if they accept them at the register when I use them.

Does Kraft reimburse them in some way for the sale?? The manager at one of the HTs said he was pretty sure the actual warehouse was out of them so they wouldn't be coming in anymore for the awhile.

Ya know, I probably wouldn't even eat them (would give away) but the fact that I had a Q for them made me *need* them. I didn't realize they were going to be such a big hit. I figured most of the typical HT shoppers in my area don't even look at the sales flyer I bet it only took a couple savvy shoppers to swoop all four of my stores clean :sad: I'm so bummed, I didn't even get one!

actually, the stores were not well-stocked to begin with. most stores had about a dozen between all 3 varieties to start with and none of the stores seemed to restock at any point. seems silly to introduce a new product and not even have enough of it to sell.
