Meijer-New Coupon policy?

[busymama]

I'm in Holland and two of my couponing friends were told this last week that Meijer has a new coupon policy. Apparently the new policy is that if a coupon beeps they will not take it - no exceptions. The coupons that beeped for my friends were for the exact items - size, etc. that they purchased. Has anyone heard anything about this at their Meijer?

I was at Meijer yesterday, in Indiana, and practically all of my q's beeped. Each q was for exactly what I was buying. They pushed all of them through. I can't understand why they would they would reject "beeping" q's when the Meijer Mealbox's beep every time!

Probably just a crabby cashier! I shop at the Holland stores and yesterday used a ton of q's and everyone one was very accommodating. But I have had a few be rude. One even asking me "where did you get that coupon?' It was a blinkie I picked up at Wags, not an IP. I told her out of my coupon box!

Was told this very same thing this morning.....

bought 4 Tony's pizza, strawberries, charmin and a can of northern beans. Went to an SCO and used 2 1/2 IP's for Tony's (pizza for a buck...YEAH) and I had a $1 OYNO that I used also. All Q's went thru without beeps, but the station then asked for assistance, but before it did I noticed that the $1 OYNO only took off .98¢. I wasn't concerned for .02¢, but when the cashier got there I asked what might have happened and she began to explain that as of this week all their registers had been reprogrammed and that they were told that they could not except anything that beeps...regardless!! I have been having frequent problems with Meijers programming lately.....its starting to smell fishy or worse!! :FarFromPoopin:

I have had some trouble with instead of taking off the coupons amount it has been adding the amount. YES ADDING to my bill. Me and a cashier watched it do it 2 times on me in the uscan. she was great and fixed it but keep an eye out on your total not just if they are doubling because it looked like it always does on top but the total went up instead of down.

I live in Kentucky, but I've noticed that alot more q's are beeping now for no reason.. so when I go through Uscan I always just type 'em in. They hardly ever beep that way!

I never even thought to do that - who knew! =) Thanks for the tip. I can't tell you how many beeped for me this week with the Skippy, Lipton, Ragu, Barilla, Tony's etc. I will definitely keep that in mind during my next trip!

How do you type them in? Doesn't the cashier have to do that?

Nope, if you're at the Uscan, just hit Key in Code.

I'm also in Holland. I was told this last week that their systems had been reprogrammed & that now all coupons are causing them a ton of trouble. She said coupons that are for the valid product are beeping & in some cases giving errors that don't allow them to override the coupon. (They could have, but they wouldn't because of the error. It happend to me.) I didn't purchase the item as a result. If they don't take the coupon, I don't buy the item there. It's as simple as that for me. No worries, no argument, no fight, they just lose my money. (And everytime it happens, I tweet about it (which goes to my Facebook), & e-mail them when I get home so they're aware of how much money they're losing with faulty systems.
