So does that mean they aren't suppose to give overage...or you just can't get cash back??

I live in Aurora and there isn't a King Soopers that I know of that accepts internet coupons. I have even talked to managers who have verified that policy. It would be interesting to take a copy of the email into a store by me.

I think with my King Soopers if the product is say $.90 and I have a $.50/1 coupon, it will only double to $.90 not the full $1.00.

As for 2 like coupons...I've never been stopped for having more. I think most policies and stores are YMMV.

I was nervous when I first brought in an IP but they accepted them no problem at my KS (in Greeley). I would be interested to hear what they were to say if you were to bring this letter to their attention!

Ok...that makes sense. For some reason I was thinking about coupons that are already more than the price(before doubling).

the only limit I have come accross at KS is a cashier said that they can only do 3 like coupons. I asked him if he could delete the items off and run them sep. he wasn't very happy about it and huffed and puffed but said he would. he finished up my first trans and someone else came to relieve him. He told her what to do...which she started...but then she was like "this is silly, I bet it'll go through." she tried it and sure enough it went through no problem!!

The 3-like coupon limit isn't a computer thing. The closest KS to me is a stickler about the limit, but there's another store a mile further that takes all my coupons (I bought 40 soups a few months ago and used 40 like coupons). So it really is YMMV.

My experience with KS is that the computer does give overage but they won't give cash back. If I have a really good deal going and I know there is going to be overage I will purchase a KS gift card for the estimated amount. For instance if I estimate the overage is going to be between $1 and $5 I will purchase a $5 gift card, if it is between $5.01 and $10 I will purchase a $10 gift card. I always try to make sure that the gift card is more than the overage. I haven't had any problems with this method so far. I have purchased (with overage) over $60 in gift cards at various stores (KS, Safeway, Walgreens, etc.) so far this year. hth

The gift card is an awesome idea. I have thought about trying that but I always forget about the gift card and always buy things to try and make up for my overage. I'm going to make myself a SIGN to remind myself next time!

My KS on Smoky Hill & Himalaya in Aurora/Centennial takes 3-like coupons and IPs. THe other one near me does not take IPs (on Tower & Reservoir).

Sure wish there was consistency to the schedule...
