Q. Does WalMart accept internet printables?

Wal-Mart Stores can accept coupons that are available on the internet for customers to print from their home computers. The following are guidelines for the stores for accepting internet coupons:

- The coupon should be legible and say "Manufacturer Coupon". There should be a valid remit address for the manufacturer, to ensure the coupon can be processed for payment.
- The coupon should have a scan-able bar code.
- The coupon should have an expiration date.
- The coupon cannot be a photocopy.
- The limit is one coupon per item, per Customer.
- A Salaried Manager can refuse to accept a coupon if it does not meet any or all of these guidelines.
Q. Does Walmart give overage on coupons?


A. This is a tricky question. Lets play out what happens when you purchase a .97c item and have a $1.00/1 coupon...
  1. Cashier scans item
  2. Cashier scans coupon
  3. Register beeps with prompt on the screen for cashier "Correct coupon amount?"
  4. Cashier can hit the "Yes" button and register will give overage OR cashier can enter the price of the item .97c OR he/she can get all flustered and decide that you can not use the coupon because its beeping and they don't know what that means...in this case ask for a STORE manager to assist.
Q. What about Uscans?
A. Each stores' Uscans are set up differently, some ask that you hand all coupons over to the Uscan overseer, some let you scan and put them in the little slot yourself. In my experiance the overage senario is the same as regular registers with the overseer needing to aprove all overage coupons as well as B1G1 and frees.

Q. Coupons that start with the number 9..why do they beep?
A. The answer is not clear WHY they beep, but I can tell you that walmarts registered are programed to beep and not accept coupons that start with a 9 (9 being the first number in the barcode on a coupon..this usually has to do with doubling, so don't ask me why they beep at Walmart!) So watch your blinkies and other coupons for the dreaded "9s". The cashiers CAN override, but they are hesitant to do so..be prepared for a fight.

Q. What should I bring with me besides my money and my coupons?


A. Here are some things you MAY want to consider bringing along if your Walmart is one that tends to give you hassles over coupons.
  1. Your cell phone pre-programed with corp number.
  2. The name of your store manager so that you can throw it around when you tell the cashier that "Scott SoAndSo" the store manager said yes..you can override the coupon":rolleyes:
  3. Examples of coupons that say "One per purchase", "One per transaction or store visit" and "One per customer". This may be helpfull when they think you can only use one coupon because it says one per purchase.
  4. A prepared schpeil on what DND means...because some cashier think double coupons means using more than one coupon per transaction.
  5. Comfy shoes..you may be waiting awhile.
  6. Your patience..you may need it!:Nod:
Q. Where can I find the information on the Immediate Response Team?

A. Check this thread for the contact information.

Q. Where can I find information on price matching ?

A. Check this thread for the contact information.

Q. Does Wal-Mart still have a Scan Right Guarentee?

A. No, the Scan Right Guarentee program is gone, but you can check this thread for more information about the current program in place.




Any other questions??? Ill try my best to answer them for you.

Default Re: Walmart FAQ

I know..it can be a PITA for some shoppers. One day I hope that Walmart will realize the couponers can be thier friends. We yap all day about stores and customer service it would seem that Walmart would want to apease us a little.

That being said I really do recomend that you get to know you store manager, talk to him about coupons, educate him if you have to. I did and I have not had many problems since. I have even had him over for dinner. LOL

Wal mart will price match also if you bring in a current ad. I have done this before when I know my Walgreen's will not have enough Jiff in stock for the number of coupons I have. By price matching at Wal mart I can make one trip rather than hitting three stores. (Even though it might take just as long)

You don't have to have the ad. Well, theortically. The cashier might make noise about it, but it is our responisbility to have the ads or be provided them by the company.

ETA: heh, our as in walmarts. work there, so came out.

Albertsons does not price match that I was aware of. They do however take competitor coupons (Some of them do anyways, call corp to find out if your does)

Default Re: Walmart FAQ

Grrrr my Walmart is so dumb... It took me calling Corp. to get the Store Manager to call me on their coupon policy. They tried telling me that they wont take internet printed coupons. Also that they dont price match Dollar type store adds. I was like whatever I will just go across the street to Target, I know they do. And they called me back said sorry and they dont know if they take them, but they do price match NO MATTER WHAT store it is. And I laughed and said I can't believe that you are the store manager and do not know your coupon policy. I took him a copy of it today..lmao
