Re: Shaws FAQ Shaws Coupon Policy
We have included the requested information below. Please be advised, there may be some variance to each area of our Shaw's stores. For more accurate information, we recommend speaking directly with the Store Director. If you have an issue that must be resolved, and the Store Director does not resolve this for you, please let us know so we can escalate the issue.
1. "Competitor Coupon Acceptance" Policy:
The Shaw's Division competitor coupon acceptance policy varies by area, district, and store. Individual Store Directors have the discretion to accept or decline these coupons on a competitive basis.
2. "Internet Coupon Acceptance" Policy:
Recently there has been increased fraudulent activity with regard to internet coupons for "free product." Albertsons, as well as various other retailers, have experienced multiple instances of this "free product" coupon fraud in several areas across the country. In response to this illegal activity, Albertsons has changed the internet coupon acceptance policy.
Albertsons does not accept internet coupons for free product. All stores, in all divisions (including Shaw's), have been informed of this change. Albertsons does not yet know the extent of the illegal activity nationwide, however they are working with the FMI (Food Manufacturing Institute), GMA (Grocery Manufacturers of America) and CIC (Coupon Information Corporation) to investigate the situation.
Legitimate internet coupons typically:
Are labeled as a "Manufacturer Internet Coupon"
Contain an Expiration Date or state "No Expiration Date"
Contain Terms & Conditions
Contain the URL (website address) of the distributing website
Contain the words "Manufacturer Internet Coupon" (shaded in gray) in the legal text
Must include a "Send to" or "Mail to" address for redemption by the store
3. the corporate "coupon acceptance" policy
Shaw's stores will double any valid manufacturers' coupon with a value of up to $0.99. Manufacturers' coupons over $0.99 are redeemable at face value. Any coupons for tobacco and/or alcohol products, coupons for free items, or coupons that state "do not double" will not be doubled, regardless of the coupon amount.
No more than 6 like items may be purchased per order using the doubling of manufacturers' coupons.
Only 1 manufacturer's coupon may be accepted per item.
The amount of redemption will be credited during the transaction, and will be printed on the register receipt. Redemption may not exceed the value of the item being purchased.
Again, thank you for contacting Shaw's Customer Care. If we can provide any information or be of service to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or by calling 1-877-932-7948.
