OUTDATED - Walmart Updates to Coupon Policy

[rrpate]

good thing to have i sent it to all my local coupon buddies! reps to you!

[rrpate]

I already let the overage apply to the rest of my order, and that is what I will continue doing.

I'm worried that some people will abuse the "change back" policy.

ME TOO! using it to cover other purchases is the way i go too! i do not feel right asking for money back.. mho!~

I know that One person could not have got this change alone but I have wrote them a letter by way of snail mail about this about 2 two weeks ago and then this last week I emailed them about this. My store would ADJUST the coupon to the price of the item, so I started making them write threw the price on the coupon and put the pirce they gave me, which coupons say they can not be altered in way which they were doing. After emailing the the letter the same day I got a call from my walmart mtg about this going on and she acted as if she did not know the CSM were doing this and I told well the CSM's have showed me a pice of paper they you signed and copied a coupons showing that if it was more than the item cost to only give the amount the item cost no matter what the coupon says it for. She was like well I will talk to everyone about this and if you have anymore problems please have them to call me and I will take care of it.

We owe this to those $5 maalox coupons..LOL for there is about 20 that they may not be able to get their money back on from what maalox company told me because they wrote in $4.38 and marked out the $5...I wonder how much extra money my walmart has made off of me and coupons that they so called adjusted over the past few years..

That is what I plan on doing also, let it apply to the rest of my order. I forsee tons of problems if we start getting "change" back. My WM has always allowed overage and are coupon friendly. I don't want to see that change.

Wahooooo!!!!!!!!!!! My Walmart has never allowed overages in the past. This is going in my binder.

It will get squashed pretty quickly I'm sure.

I will test the policy today with my free Breathe Right RRs from WAG earned a while back. max value up to 7.49

The 10 ct Breathe Right is 3.97 @ my WM and there's TMF forms on the cardboard display. This is going to be a 3.97 MM if they take this product specific RR. And it will confirm if they will follow this revised policy.

Let us know what happens! I used 10 of those same coupons last week - of course at Walgreens...lol!

Hey someone ought to try using a target coupon there...it does say they are accepting competitor coupons. My target is way to far away...so they won't consider it a "competitor" but I'd love to find out if they work!

"Walmart does not accept the following coupons:

• Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase"

Does this mean no printables accepted for frees?

[CW&M Mom]

Most places have stopped taking Free items for IP because they are so often fraudulent coupons.

Now IMO I think they will still take an IP that makes the product free because Walmarts price is so cheap (like the Reach Floss $1.00/1 coupon) though.
