Meijer-Coupons did not double--did I do something wrong?

[cintinative]

I bought Green Giant veggies and used two IPs for the Steamers and two IPs for the boxed in a transaction. It did not double two of the coupons. I didn't notice until I was home. I had a second transaction where I was using two IPs for steamers, two for the boxed, and two that stated "any Green Giant veg". As far as I knew, these are three different coupons so they should have all doubled. Instead, again, only two doubled. I am trying to figure out if this is because the system interpreted all the coupons as being the same or if it was just a bad day at the Uscan. Please let me know what you think. I am not sure I want to bother bringing stuff back over $3.00 in coupons but I am really disappointed.

TIA!

Bump! Help?

I've seen that happen with Aunt Millies Q's. Sometime the wording is different but the bar code is the same so the Q's wont double.

Not a bad day IMO, I think it is their "new, updated system" this happened to me last night. I was using 2 .50/1 "steamers" and 2 .50/1 "green giant frozen" veggies (2 different bar codes) and the register only doubled 2.
When I whipped out the ad for back up, I was saddened to see that the wording actually states: "Limit of two identical coupons will double. Additional coupons for identical items will be redeemed at face value." (Is this new wording?)
So, in my case, as I was buying all steamers, I didn't fight it. Even though I know that is not they way 2 different q's for like items have worked in the past!! I don't understand why your q's didn't double if you were buying boxed too, but I think it is their new "smarter system".
Maybe the new system only recognizes the GG part

I think the "identical" wording is the same as it has always been. I know when the warm delights were on 10/10 I got 2 free using insert Q's and 2 free using IP's. Same products, but Q's were not identical. My guess is the Green Giant IP's are identified as identical by the system, no matter what the product.

I am not impressed by the new system. I ventured into Meijer this week after a several week absence, and was burned by the 10/10. The system only took off .62 for my free item, which was the price of a can of Campbell's tomato soup that was not even part of the promotion. :shrug7:

The exact same thing happened to me, my "free" item only deducted .62, not 1.00!

I had 1 of the taco bell .50/1 shells coupons not double and I have no idea why either. I only used 2 .50 coupons in the whole transaction so there shouldn't of been any issue.

I'd forgotten about that until I saw this post. I'll have to watch very very carefully while ringing in my .50 coupons.

And OP, all 3 coupons that you used had different barcodes. I have them sitting right here in front of me. I'd go back and have them fix it honestly.

Thanks, I think you are all right. Unfortunately I don't have the coupons to look at to see what the codes are but if I look at my receipt all the coupons scanned the same code, even though they were for different items. I don't recall this being an issue before, so perhaps this is something with the new system. I had some trouble with the UScan this time with it saying I didn't insert my coupon when I did (and there was nothing in the slot to blow down) so I was worried that was it.

I don't know about you all, but having to do 6 transactions to buy 6 bags of steamers and 6 boxed veggies is really frustrating.

I hear ya :) Months back I had to do 16 different transactions to get all my Steamers Free @ Meijer. I wish Meijer would have unlimited doubles like Kroger. I buy more at Meijer but I never have any Q problems at Kroger.... SIGH!

On the upside, I did find an awesome cashier at Meijer who totally understood usage of the mealbox coupons and mfq. She was so nice and helpful, and is my new favorite Meijer cashier!
