RAINCHECK QUESTION:

I know this may be ymmv but I want a heads up so am asking before I go in. I have a raincheck for 10 of the keebler club crackers that were 2/5 and get 2RR wyb 2 back in the first week of Feb.
The cashier who wrote my RC wrote in 2/3 and I noticed on the black and white "Over $20 in coupon savings" in store Wags q page (I don't know what the abbrev for this is) there is a q for 2/2 Keebler or Cheezit wyb 2.

So my question is: Can I combine a raincheck, with mfr q's (the Parade 1/1's that exp 3/17) AND the WAGS q?

Raincheck price: 2/3.00 x 10 = 15.00
- (10) 1/1 = 5.00
- 2/2 Wags q (x 5 = 10.00)= overage of 5.00???


Will this work or will it raise suspicion? Or is it even okay to use together (fine print on the wags q says not valid with any other offer... so is a RC considered another offer)?

Also, do you tell your cashier that you will be using a raincheck in combination with coupons so that they know ahead of time? TIA (I'm starting to get better about getting RC when a store is oos but am not very experienced in redeeming them).

tranquilmama, you should let the cashier know up front that you have a RC, because she will have to price modify each pkg as she rings them up. As for the MQ, those are given after she hits subtotal, then give her the IVC (WAG Q). As you stated, this is YMMV, but there is nothing "wrong" with using both Qs with the RC. Just be sure you have $5.oo+ worth of merchandise for the overage.
ERA: the RC isn't "another offer" but some stores still view the IVC and MQ as two "offers."

RR, Manf, 7 day/IVC

Reasoning:
*RR- many times these are higher value than MQs, so you need to use them first to make sure they scan and MQ/IVC/7day will reduce the subtotal amount which could prevent being able to use the RR

*MQ- IF overage is a possibility when stacking with a WAG Q, you always want to use the MQ first, or it will beep in overage situations

*7 day/IVC-use these last. I have seen them (IVC) auto-adjust once or twice, but usually we're able to get overage. They won't beep unless they're programmed weird, so sometimes you have to use fillers to stack MQ + IVC. Also, having a 7 day and an IVC for the same product doesn't happen very often, but use all WAG Qs last. Some cashiers insist on scanning these first, so beware and have fillers handy if your store does this.

I have a question about the catalina. Can it still be scanned if the machine printed out a red barcode? The ink probably ran out or something.

Those coupons usually do not scan, but the cashier can manually enter in the numbers like they can for regular manufacturer coupons and it will work.

I went to Wags today and used the BOGO Oral B coupon and $1 off Crest and my RR did not print. The manager told me that if you use coupons you don't get the RR. Anyone else heard of that?

Something must have been wrong with the Catalina machine (off line, out of paper, paper jam?). If coupons caused RRs not to print, we (HCW members) certainly wouldn't get so excited about RR promotions.

I have a Colgate catalina from last week, can I still use it for this week's Colgate sale and still have the catalina printed out?
