    READ ME Please, please do not post brags or deals made outside of Kmart doubles guidelines

    This has been said several times but needs to be said again.

    Kmart has a limit of 10 coupons per person per day.

    If you store does not impose those limits, we think that is great for you!

    However, because of the Kmart corporate policy regarding doubles, we ask that you not post it here.

    If you shope with more than one person doing transactions, please share! If you are able to visit more than one store per day, please share! If you do one trip a day and follow the limit, please share.

    If your store lets you do multiple transactions and use more than the 10 per day per person limit, please just say you love Kmart doubles

    I love Kmart doubles

    This week at my store, the weekly ad had no mention of doubles and a big banner advertising Doubles up to 2.00, limit 75 qs...on their front door.

    I asked the manager on duty if his signage was old since corporate said 10 qs per person per day (per internet). His reply was that corporate told him what signage to put up and when, and not to believe everything I read on the internet. And, asked me if I really thought all the employees working here would risk their jobs to make couponers happy?

    I believe the doubling events promos are regional and corporate gives out a canned response to cover their behinds...news does travel fast via the internet.
    Some people buy lottery tickets every week and win. I'm not that lucky, so I buy Sunday papers hoping for great deals!

    The 10 limit is published in the ad that is put out by Kmart. I'm guessing your speaking of the responses emailed to various board members/customers before each doubles re: whether or not their store is participating and the rules? This is not where HCW and the Mod's obtain their factual rules through, it's only a reiteration of posted rules in the ad. Why the manager would say that I have no idea. Doesn't even make much sense.

    Now, we have all come to find that doubles rules and limits vary by store but this limit that has been imposed by Corporate directly through published ads is what HCW goes by when monitoring posts.

    Everyone should note, however, that the SUPER K ads that run Wed-Tue (in this case, Sept 2-8) in fact state a limit of "25" per customer per day, again this is per the posted ad online at kmart.com.

    If anyone wants to check this - see Queensbury, NY.

    This is also correct here in Indianapolis, IN as well (46227 zip to check). I did all my shopping well within the 'legal' limits. I didn't make a distinction in my 'brag' but I figured it was clear I shopped with other people and at a store that the actual limit was not 10 but 25 coupons.

    This why I no longer post my K-Mart brags on this forum. None of the Kmarts around me (there are 3) have limits as per the DM's of these stores. I have it in writing from both of them. The first DM actually wrote me that corporate told him they put that in the ads but the stores were not to enforce - that it was only there as a deterrent.:shrug7:

    My weekly ad has no mention of doubles (19087) and has signage advertising double Qs up to 2.00, limit to 75... I believe you are guessing wrong. If you are talking about the printed ad that PG sponsored in last week's insert, a few weeks ago PG ad was the key to not follow Kmarts printed ads in some areas...go figure.

    This is the internet...no magic...just a source to exchange information. Sit back and ponder this question: (telephone or email) Hello, I run a internet site called XYZ and I just want to make sure I am posting the right information about your current sales event? I am sure corporate will say the canned response.

    When in doubt, ask at customer service before you begin shopping.
    If you know the rules, you can't break them by accident.
    Play by the rules and everyone wins.

    I love Kmart Doubles. :)
