No more IPs?

I tried to use an IP today and was denied. The cashier told me that it has come from corporate that Walmart will no longer accept any internet printed coupons. Cashier said this was happening at all Walmarts b/c of coupon fraud problems.

Has anyone else heard this? I used IPs at another Walmart down the street yesterday w/o problem.

nathansmom, the stores try to pull this all the time.
Here is a link to the company website. They still have ip as coupons they take. It says guidelines, but I would still call the manager, then the district manager.
If this is a made up district manager policy, I would call corp and ask why they have guidelines and don't use them.
Email the manufacturer and tell them walmart refused your coupon. You might get a q mailed to you for your trouble.
I have emailed wm from their contact us link and gotten calls from the managers. They get stuff straightened out. I have been refused coupons or been told 1 q per order. I complain. I refuse to quit using my q's, so I try to make the stores do what they are suppose.
I don't have trouble in those 3 stores anymore.

I used some at our local SWM (in MO) and they took them.

Just got home from WM and they took mine with no problem. I did hear alot of belly aching about the two codes, but I told them to cover the one side and everything would go smoother. What do you know? It did :)

I used one this morning. She asked me if it was a print out or a copy. Then she scanned it.

I tried to use the buy one get one free lifesaver coupon yesterday and the CSM said they do not accept buy one get one free. And gave it back to me, wish I would of had this coupon policy with me! Thanks for the information.

My husband had the same problem today! The manager would not accept his ONE printed coupon. Saying that the coupon had to be printed in color because the coupon could be a photocopy(which I understand could be a problem, but come one he was using ONE coupon!) I've used printed Q's (black and white) there recently with no problems, maybe this is something new? I've sent an email to Wal-Mart explaining the situation and asking if there has been a change in policy.
