Updated Printable Money off Coupons & Policies Thread 4 (and chat)

Honey9036

Further to my earlier post, I have compiled a list of FAQs. I have filled in the answers to a few, but want to give the rest of you a chance to put forward your own wording for the rest of the questions if you wish.

I think the 1st post may end up too large at that point, so I may just put a link after each question - linking straight to the relevant user's post with the answer (if that makes sense). Which means that 'thanks' will go to the correct person.

Once again, all credit for this idea should go to Veggiecar!! It may be a good idea to dedicate post 2 to FAQs next time a new thread is started - and Veggiecar can keep that updated (if he/she wishes, that is).

Here are the questions. Please choose one (or more) by copying and pasting into a new post - and type in your answer. Thanks in advance!!

QUESTION: Do I REALLY not have to buy the product?

QUESTION: How do I know how many coupons I can use?
ANSWER: This varies from store to store. Sometimes it's a percentage of your shop, or it's limited by number of coupons you can use at any one time. Some stores are better than others, try all stores in your area and shop in the one that suits you best. Ask at Customer Services what their in-store policy is.

QUESTION: How many coupons can I print?
ANSWER: Most couponnet-type coupons are only available to be printed once (or twice if you click ‘no’ when asked if it printed successfully). Any PDF or JPG coupons can usually be printed as many times as you like (remember to save them to your computer, just in case the online version disappears!).

QUESTION: Is there any way to get more couponnet-type coupons?
ANSWER: Yes, but only if you have access to another computer(s). The coupon software knows how many times each individual computer has printed the coupon. So just make sure you take lots of paper with you when you visit your computer-owning friends and relatives!! LOL!

QUESTION: What constitutes ‘abuse’ of the coupon policy?
ANSWER: Examples of abuse are: using out-of-date coupons; splitting shopping into several loads and using duplicate coupons on the same day; photocopying or scanning coupons. Abuse may result in the store taking action against you personally (eg banning you) and ultimately may affect the coupon policy for all coupon users.

Hi Honey, can we leave this question out please? It varies from store to store and Mad only has a rucksack for his shopping :rotfl:Also last year I remember being showed a copy of one "in-store" coupon policy that actually said photocopies were acceptable (not that I would condone it) We don't want to put limitations on our coupons that T's haven't even thought of
