Illegal to Return Items That You Used Manufacturer Coupons On?

[CSchunk]

I still don't know what to say, that is the most entitled and uneducated bit of coupon misinformation I have seen spewed on this forum.

I'm speechless...

I dont shop at target that much but did a return a few months ago no receipt it was like only store credit for a top i got for my daughter and a 10 degree only so many returns in a year etc.. Dont understand how someone can return so much either...

I have returned an odd thing myself but usually bought similar in return or exchange... Just dont understand some people ruining it for everyone by doing stuff like that !!!!

I know I hate it when my supermarket adjusts the coupon to .88 for me but they get credit for $1.00 from the manuf.

Hey guys. A friendly reminder from your Target mod team.

It's fine to discuss Target policy, even if you are not happy with it, or other shoppers. What is not fine, however, is starting to move the conversation in the direction of possibly creating an argument. You may not agree with what someone thinks, and someone may not word things in a way that you like, however, when posts start to read like those in our hot under the collar forum, we have no choice but to either lock, delete or move them to HUTC. So, with that said, lets keep this conversation on track and remember to be courteous to our board mates.

Now returning you to your regularly scheduled discussion,
Melli

I saw a woman tried to return the pricey Olay Pro X without a receipt. The CSR scanned the item and told her she cannot do a refund/exchange. Register gave message the item was NOT BOUGHT @ Target! Whether she was bluffing or not, the woman did not insist, took back her item and left.

Now, I'm wondering, are their registers capable of doing that? Those items are sold @ drugstores and WM as well and they have the same barcode. I know there's a white strip inside high ticket items, could that possibly have a code to identify the store it is being sold?

I bought an item and could not remember which store i bought it from and when i went to return it at walmart without receipt she was like no this was bought from jcpenny on such and such day so yes it is possible for certain items

Personally I think they should refund the full item price plus coupon value because what if i want to use that coupon to buy the item somewhere else cheaper .. Not fair if they have my coupon and the money for it

However they could start asking for id's and punching in their license number and keep track of habitual returners this way if they see someone is having an issue with returns they can alert them ok we will take it this time but we will no longer take any more returns you may only do an exchange from now on ... Doing this they could also track it nationally so they could not hop from store to store or state to state
