Printable Coupon ~ Grocery: Smartsource Printables - Post your finds here

[cheynesnana]

Hi All! I've noticed that people have started posting coupons found on these three sites. This quickly clogs up the Printable forum when we have 10 or more threads just for coupons you've found on Coupons.com, Smartsource and RedPlum. It pushes the other coupons to the next page where they might not be seen by all.

In order to prevent this.. I've started a seperate thread for each of these sites. Please, if you find a great coupon on one of these sites... post in the appropriate thread.. put special notes and/or zip codes in your post also.

Thanks for keeping Printables clean and easy to use!

Good, its about time. I'm not really sure, but should we send these letters to ie:Walmart or write our own to smartsource? It hopefully help a lot of us.

How cool! Thank you for posting.

Thanks! My Walmart won't accept B&W printed coupons, they think they are photo copied. I will be sure to complain the next time this happens.

Do you think this why so many people have trouble printing SS?

What about when you get a coupon from someone else? How can they really police all this??

It is good news that they are attempting to address misuse.

Very interesting - I wish some of my stores would get this letter.

I had trouble with this a few years ago and it is an easy fix.

Go here Walmart.com - Help or call 1-800-925-6278 and tell the person that your local store will not take the online printable coupons. They will tell you that it is Wal-Mart policy to take them. They will contact the store and the store manager will call you to apologize. Problem solved.

I have done this to 3 of the stores in my area, one of them I have never been in but my dad had troubles with some coupons I gave him that he tried to use there. I called and talked to the manager and he told me they were not supposed to take them. I told him he was wrong and he would be calling me tomorrow to apologize after I called corporate again. He called the next day and apologized he he.

It is not a corporate problem, it's a local store manager problem.

This will definitely help!! I just had a store refuse these coupons because there was no barcode below the expiration date like on the other type of printable. I tried explaining that it is a different site, but they keep showing me their example of a legitimate coupon. I will definitely go back with this!
