K-Mart-$2 and up coupons not doubling?

[osumoose]

I know they won't double if the item total is less than the double coupon, but it wasn't doing ANYTHING with my $2 and up coupon. For example, I had the $2.50/1 electrasol, which were on sale 2/$8. It should have taken off another $1.50, but it didn't do anything. This happened with all of my coupons above $2. What gives? The manager was horrid to me, belittled me in front of other customers and was so rude. I was just doing it like the last time our store had doubles!

Is your Kmart doing doubles to $3 already? If its Super doubles $2 the $2.50 wont double because its more than $2. it doesn't double any coupon to the value of $4, it will double up to an including $2 coupons nothing higher, until the $3 doubles. HTH

But last time we had doubles, when something was, for example, a $2.25 coupon, and the product was $3.00, it would double $.75 of the $2.25 coupon to make the item free. Was that just a fluke at my store or something?

[StifflersMom]

sounds like it was a fluke, nothing over $2 should double, unless its the $3 doubles.

well dang! I had the most trouble yesterday. They had some issues and had to void the order and re-ring, and then coupons that had doubled before weren't doubling again, so yeah. Lots of fun!

I dont know why Kmart has such an issue with coupons, I have never before gone to a store where they had to touch the screen for coupons, maybe their systems are outdated or cheap. I don't know, its very frustrating to go, especially when you have a cashier that doesnt know how to correctly apply the coupons, and then you wind up paying way more than you wanted to, and trying to figure out and explain the mess to CS is such a pain. I try to plan my trips so I dont buy more than one variety of a brand. ie revlon, I will only buy revlon items that have the same price, that way if the cashier cant really mess up my oop.

Hopefully your area will get $3 doubles, and you can get those coupon amounts doubled! Good Luck!!

Yeah that was just a fluke for you last time b/c it did not work that way anywhere else that I've heard of. Sorry you had a bad experience. Like pp's said, if your store gets the $3 doubles promotion, then your 2.50's & 2.25's would work that way...
