Kmart GRRRRRRR CS now saying that the doubles is only going to be for P&G coupons

[Mama Stu]

I called CS to ask about which Iowa stores were going to participate. First she told me she didn't have a list yet. (Interesting because I emailed about Missouri and got a list). Then she tells me to call back next week. I said "umm by next week the event will already be happening." So the she says "I apologize you are right call back Friday we should have a list then". Then she proceeds to tell me that this event as of right now is only going to be for P&G coupons. I think we should flood them with emails and phone calls telling them we won't be shopping if that is the case. I am going to be so mad if this turns out to be true. I ordered coupons just for this.

Oh boy, K isn't going to win any popularity contests with all of their recent waffling and changing of rules and limits. I wish they would just be consistent.
I'm going to wait and see what the ad states, my stores will go by the published limits. I should have the ad in the mail by Thursday.

I bet someone earlier was right, they didn't want to do any doubles, but P&G already had it printed on their upcoming inserts. That said, it sounds like they are still trying to figure out how to deal with this..who knows it might change by Sunday!

the back peddling has started!! it is funny some people got the standard doubles email and some didnt. i got the p&g email today and the "email later today and we should have a list of stores available"....now they are saying friday....nice....i think they have started to wait until the last possible minute to list doubles so couponers cant get coupons ready. the last two doubles the ad wasnt posted until that day

I don't see how the computer will be able to distinguish between P&G coupons and I don't see the cashiers paying much attention either, as they usually don't. But, this would be a big blow for K-mart. I just got my ads today and my ads have the coupons in them. There is a Red Plum and P&G. The Red Plum has a $2 on Lea and Perrins worcestershire sauce, which could be free or really cheap. My husband loves this stuff, so I am going to be pretty upset if the doubling is just P&G, as I just ordered 20 coupons off of ebay. I just also went through all of my coupons getting ready for doubles and will really be upset.

Mama Stu, Do you mind sharing the Missouri list you received? The master store list for the 9/27 - 10/5 doubles event doesn't list any Missouri stores.

Thanks.

Does your P&G have an ad for the Kmart doubles. I already emailed Kmart and told them that I thought this would hurt their business if they only doubled P&G coupons. It is absolutely not worth my drive if they only do P&G. I live in Iowa, but am going to be in Missouri visiting family and there were 5 of us planning on making an hour and a half drive to Kansas City for the doubles. We sure won't go if it is only P&G coupons. I ordered several sets of coupons for this and have been trying to get ready too so I know your pain.:sad:

I got the same email about it only being P&G coupons this morning as well. I'm new to all this, but from the looks of ya'll discussion this is normally behavior for Kmart, no?
