What is the coupon policy!?!?

Has anyone else been using the $10 off coupon that came in the Science Diet bags of food a while ago? It says $10 off your next purchase at PetSmart, but has a Science Diet logo. I've been using them all month on my purchases and not necessarily on Science Diet products with no problem. Tonight they decided not to accept them so I decided not to make my purchase. When I was walking away however I overheard the cashier and manager make a comment about it was just that girl with all the coupons and how they wish I wouldn't come back in their store! Is is really that terrible to use coupons??!!

I'd walked back, gotten both names, called corporate from the store, and asked them to repeat their comments and explain why they won't accept the coupon to corp.

Then again, I'm cranky like that.

Oh my gosh, you should have walked back to them and told them that their wish was about to come true, but that their corporate office would know why you and a bunch of your friends would no longer be shopping at their store. Manufacturers don't print coupons just to kill a few trees. They want you to use them. It's not terrible.

I make minimum wage as a cashier at CVS and LOVE to check out the "coupon queens" because I can learn from them how to make my dollar worth more. I was actually referred to this site by one of you wonder women a couple years ago. I have a coupon binder now and visit this site on a daily basis. I would be eating PB&J every night if I didn't have you ladies come to my store.

HOLY MOLY!!! I am sorry to hear that you all are having such problems. I have worked for Petsmart for 2 years and have never heard of the problems you all are having. WE ALWAYS ALWAYS take competitor coupons without question and you can use as many coupons as your purchase allows. I say move to Florida and you wont have any problems LOL

So, i talked to my store manager at Petsmart and she said they wont honor a competitor coupon if that store isnt in your area. We wont accept Petco coupons at our store because there isnt a Petco in our area. Hope that helps

If these are the same type of coupon that pops into the Purina Beneful (except theirs is only $5... jealous!) from time to time, then I believe it can only be used on that particular brand's product. For example, the ones that come in the Beneful bags are for $5 off your next Purina PetSmart puchase, meaning you have to buy something Purina related if you want the discount. Both PetSmart stores in my area follow this rule, so I'm guessing that may be what happened to you? If all else fails, buy that name brand's treat or canned food that is cheap and use the overage on whatever else you planned on buying.
