I'm just wondering if that's the way it always works there or if this guy was confused. He's been wrong in the past, so it makes me wonder. I e-mailed them, but wondered if you guys had ever done this.

Yes! I have had a free coupon for Smart Start (nice, eh) and it was BOGO -- I got two boxes for FREE!

Does anyone know if it makes a difference if you scan your VIC card before or after all items have been rung? I heard it was better to get it scanned afterwards, but I can't remember why. Anyone??

I can't think of a benefit to having it scanned afterwards. Anyone else?

It depends on how it rings up on your receipt. Like with Publix, the FL stores ring them as full price for 1 and zero for item 2. In SC they ring up 1/2 price each. If they ring full and zero, your coupon does give you a free. If they ring up 1/2 price each, it only takes off 1/2.

the only benifit i can think of having it scanned after is when you use coupons over $1.00. Like if you were using a free q for product x. X cost 4.50 and is bogo. But at ht bogo isnt bogo its 50% off. So if you scan product x. Cashier hits total. 4.50 plus tax... Use the free coupon...get 4.50 off....then scan your vic card and you will actually get 2 products free...you will be charged 2.25 for each but then get 4.50 taken off. If you use cents off q's then it doesn't make sense becaue they wont double. I thknk you have to scan your card first before qs to get them doubled..if you scan after the q;s i dont think it will double....

yeah like recently with buy 10 vitamin water, get 5 free powerades... when you scan the card after items are rung up and $1 powerade coupons are scanned. then everything will go through without a hitch..

if you scan your card before coupons, no coupons can used for the powerade at all..

"We accept 20 double coupons per day per customer/household with VIC card; all others redeemed at face value. "

My question is, if I go to HT tonight and check out before midnight, can I shop again after midnight wtih another 20 coupons tripled?

yup ...sure can!!!! it is what i would have done..except MY STORE CLOSED...GRRR good luck shopping...its great at night when the masses are not around!

I have not seen a question about this.
During triples how does it work: how many coupons can I use and how many items can I buy if I have a coupon for Dannon yogurt $.75 off 2 yougurts?
Thank you so much for explaining this to me.

It would be the same as any other time. You can use 3 "like" coupons and expect them to double (or triple if that is when you use them). So with your Dannon coupons, you could buy 6 yogurts and get 1.50 off of each set of 2 (or 2.25 off each set of 2 during triples).
Only 20 coupons will double for each transaction.
HTH!
