TARGET ~ Glade Holiday Scents Moneymaker until 12/26/09

At some point shouldn't corporate just tell the employees: " You're wrong, so just do it?"

Amen!
I am still waiting for a call back from Sunday over the you can only use 2 like coupons line I got.

I just had the trip to Target from H*LL. I was purchasing 5 tins and 5 refills. I handed them five of the $1.50 off coupons. First I got the argument that says that I can only use one coupon per purchase, therefore I can only use one coupon for all ten items. I patiently attempted to explain the difference between purchase and transaction for 10 minutes. Then when the manager came over, they said that the coupon says right on it "Do Not Double" :hectic1: so that proved their point that I could only use one for the whole transaction. When I said I wanted them to call corporate, then they said I could use the 5 $1.50 so that we wouldn't tie up the line any longer and I would not have to wait. After they scanned those 5 couons, I handed them the coupons I had been holding in my hand for the buy one candle get one refill for free.

I would return the refills... Then try again at another store (I've got 5 in a 15 mile radius). That kind of stupidity erks me! lol

After they scanned those 5 couons, I handed them the coupons I had been holding in my hand for the buy one candle get one refill for free.

Then the cashier turned blue and got all upset and said you can't use two coupons on the same item because you'll get it for free. I explained that I wasn't using two coupons for the same item, that the $1.50 coupons were for the candle and that the "free" coupons were for the refills. He said, but the "free" coupon says you can use it for a free refill or for a free candle. I said yes, but I'm not using it on the candle, I'm using it on the refill. He said since it said I could use it on the candle that it was a BOGO so I could only use one coupon. I explained that he might have a valid argument if I had gotten 10 candles (I didn't want to fight that fight) but that since I had gotten refills instead, it was not an issue. Manager got called again and he sided with cashier.

Now, after 20 minutes I call corporate to try to straighten this out. Corporate not only agrees with me, but they call the store to explain. After 15 minutes of arguing between corporate and the manager, corporate finally gives in and tells me that their employees are incapable of understanding and can they just send me a gift card for a few dollars for my trouble. I didn't really know how to explain to Corporate that this was not really a fair trade off, since if they had honored the deal I would have $25.00 in free merchandise, plus $5.00. I did not interpret "a few dollars" as equaling the $30.00 that I had just struggled for approximately 45 minutes to get on the deal.

In the end I gave in and gave corporate my address for the gift card and left.:shrug7:


Any opinions on what I should have done instead of leaving. Basically, I felt like he was saying that the Target employees were too stupid to get it. At some point shouldn't corporate just tell the employees: " You're wrong, so just do it?"

My new favorite quote (stolen from NCIS):

"that rock couldn't pour water out of a boot with the instructions printed on the heel"

I just cant seem to find any coupons for the holder itself. I've even tried ebay and some clipping sites recommended by HCW. Any other suggestions??

The coupons for $2/1 I had came from holders and refills purchased over the past year. Mostly WAGs/Kmart for free. I know there are still some Angel Whispers refills with them I've seen on shelves earlier this month (had to buy green tins at Hannaford so decided buying refill with Q was better than holiday scent without). The 1.50/1 is normally found inside the tins. Unless someone swipes them all like they did near me....holiday and non-holiday alike. But the stock didn't diminish so you have to wonder what they did with them....

Question if I can stack these:

buy 2 candle holders @ 2.50
buy 3 candle refills @ 2.50
= 12.50
use:
- 2.00 on any holder
- 2.00 on any holder
- 2.50 free refill wyb holder
- 2.50 free refill wyb holder
- 2.50 buy 2 refills get 1 free
= $1.00 oop

This is what I have done most of the time. Or replace the 2.00/1 holder with a 1.50/1 holder. *knock on wood* Haven't had an issue yet. Other than what to do with all the extra seasonal Glade scents. I don't even like apple cinnamon.

I was going to read through this thread to get an idea on where ppl are finding the $2/1 holder q's from, but there is 36 pages. I'd be here all night. So I'll just ask. Is anyone in NC (don't have to say where or what store you go to....lol) finding the $2/1 in the tins/glass holders or just the $2/2? I ask b/c when I did the deal the first time I found the $2/2 q's and put those tins back to find the ones w/ $1.50 in them. I really want to do this deal more to earn Wii (Santa) money. Thanks for anyone's help.

The seasonal tins and glass holders do not have the $2/1 coupons in them. Only the big glass holders in the huge plastic boxes do. You can see them inside clearly.

Has anyone come up with a good deal for the jar candles with the Bogo peelies? The best I can come up with is buy 20, use 10 bogo peelies to account for ten and use five x.xx/2 coupons. I think I recall seeing 1.50/2 coupons? Which would make it 10.00 (plus tax if you have to pay that) get 20.00 back but finding 20 of them could be difficult. :shrug7:

Where & on which scents are you finding the bogo peelies for the jar candles? I would love to get in on that! TIA

They are on the apple cinnamon 4 oz. jars & are only good on the apple cinnamon jars, if that makes sense.

I will be on the lookout for those! Thanks & reps!

I went yesterday and they only had none on the holiday display. I then went over to the normal spot and found 1 refill that was apple cinammon. I then looked and found the french vanilla clearly marked HOLIDAY COLLECTION. So I scanned it and it didn't say $5 GC like the other did. So I himmed and hawed and decided I was going to go ahead and buy the FV and make them honor the $5 GC that is CLEARLY stated on the tag (which is NOT on the endcap but over on the shelf and the tag is under the plug ins not candles, but does state GOOD ON HOLIDAY COLLECTION). It took an additional 5 minutes at CS but I did get my $5 GC after they figured out how they should do it.
The HC French Vanilla has the same UPC with different packaging than the Regular French Vanilla so I wasn't surprised it didn't show the $5 GC. It also was $2.99 not $2.50 like the other holiday scents.


Also the BOGO 4oz jar peelies I found were on a seperate card board Holiday Collection display in a grocery store.

My store restocked their holiday scents , they had tons of tins and refills. I did several more transactions today. What am I going to do with all these candles?

I went to my target tonight, and was told the deal is over. prices back up to 2.99 on tins and refills, still 2.50 for glass jars though....no more gift cards , I am sad. :(
