Kmart no longer takes printed coupons.. - YDF - Your Daily Freebies Forum - Coupon Codes

debbrs7 · 10-31-2008, 04:21 PM

I just went to Kmart today and was trying to use some printed coupons. I was hastily informed they no longer accept those unless they were specifically for Kmart. Was so ticked off I just left all my purchases a the register. When I got home, I contacted their customer service and they in fact confirmed that they take them no longer. Now they have just lost a customer

All the stores in my area stoped taking them last year.

Supermarkets in my area, and where my sister used to live, stopped taking them years ago. (Too much fraud, they said, they got stuck with unreimbursable coupons.)

I wonder what's going to happen......are companies (such as Pace with their current IWG) going to have to just start mailing them the old fashioned way? It's unfortunate so many people have ruined it for the rest of us

I agree....and not sure if this is correct, but heard somewhere that not in too distant future, they were going to stop putting coupons in the paper etc and the only way to get them would be by printing them off (unless the company sends you some directly).

Local wal mart still will not take them. Too many dishonest people out there.

So far( crossing fingers) all of our Walmart's still take them, just used $40 worth a week ago, in one transaction, no ?'s asked.

I also just used them at Walmart a couple of days ago. The cashier had to ask a manager if they took internet coupons, as they have done for the last 4 weeks on my trip to Walmart. Mine totaled $30 this time!!!!

None of the stores around me take them anymore. One store in particular was in a news article about 3 years ago, it was taking printed coupons and someone came in with $100 in fake coupons. It's really a shame that people ruin things for the rest of us.

(In the whole town of Tucson we only have 1 Kmart left!)
We have 6+ Walmarts though.
So far no prob with coupons at our Walmarts.

I stopped at Kmart yesterday for more Halloween candy and they took one without saying anything. I am in Des Moines, IA. I also use them at Target, Walmart and HyVee grocery store without a problem. Guess, I have been really fortunate and I hope it does not change cause it saves me quite a bit of money each month. It really is too bad that some people have to spoil things for others. Wish you could all use them too.
