I emailed them, and this is what they had to say:

Hi Robin

Our coupons policy is we take vendor coupons 30 days after expired date and we also take our in ad coupons but we do not do double coupons. I hope this is the information that you were looking for and if not call me @ 1-815-439-8834 and ask for Al Cox.

THANKS
Al Cox

The sign on the door is gone about not accepting internet coupons. Have they changed their policy?? I shop at the one in Carpenterville and love it...

to the header links? I wasn't aware they had a price match policy until recently.

How does price matching work?
If you find an item in a competitor's printed ad that is priced lower than it is at your Target store, we will match the price. The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the product must be the identical item, brand name, quantity and model number. Target.com is excluded from our price matching policy. Competitor catalogs can also be ad matched as long as the catalog displays a valid date and meets all other qualifications.

What if I've already made the purchase at Target?
No problem. Within seven days of purchase, bring your Target receipt and the competitor 's current printed ad. We will reimburse the savings to you.

What qualifies as proof of a competitor's advertisement?
Please show us the entire printed advertisement. Photos, photocopies, or mobile phone versions of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of competitive pricing.

What does 'identical store item' mean?
The program covers items with the identical brand name, size, weight, quantity and model number of the item at Target stores. We reserve the right to verify a competitor's advertised price and the availability of the product.

Can I use coupons when price matching?
A guest can use coupons when price matching per Target's normal coupon policy. When the guests presents a coupon(s), these steps will be followed:

Manufacturer Coupons:
Manufacturer coupons will be applied after the price match is made.

Target Coupons:
Target coupons will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price.

Combining both a Target and Manufacturer Coupons:
The Target coupon will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price. Once the price match is made the manufacturer coupon will be applied.

Reminder: We accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item unless either coupon prohibits it.

Target does not ad match a competitors coupon-required offers.

What do you mean by local retail competitors?
This refers to retail stores located within the same market area as a particular Target store. Examples of a market area can be a city, a metropolitan area or a specific rural region.

What about online price matching?
All online pricing, including Target.com, is excluded from our price matching policy, as well as online retail promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites.

Other price matching exclusions include:

Online prices, including Target.com
Promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites, even those advertising in-store prices.
Timed events (e.g., early bird, door busters)
Items advertised as limited time/limited supply/limited quantity
Membership club or loyalty programs (e.g. prices that require a club or loyalty card)
Coupon-required or giftcard offers
Prices advertised only as a percent off or $ off
Competitor's free product, buy one, get one, bundled offers, or special purchases
Mobile coupons
Sales tax promotions
Damaged product or opened packaging
Clearance or closeout items
Mail in offers or instant rebates
Product services (warranties, assembly, etc.)
Going-out-of-business liquidations
Special financing
Used or previously owned items
Display merchandise
Pricing or typographical errors
Owned brands (i.e., Home, Merona, Circo, Market Pantry and Archer Farms)
Non-branded items (e.g. produce not marketed under a specific brand name)

can i use my expired jewel cat anywhere else like dominicks?

I recently visited the Target on Army Trail Rd. (Glendale Heights, I think). I was buying 3 items with 3 manufacturers coupons (no stacking, nothing complicated, etc.). I was told by the cashier that I could only use 1 coupon. Then she changed it to 2. Then she had the mgr. come over and she said 1. I gave up and didn't purchase anything. On my way out I stopped at CS (because I had some time to kill anyways) and asked to use the red phone to call Guest Relations.

When I did I was told that it was Target's policy to accept "1 manufacturers coupon and 1 Target coupon per entire transaction". I mentioned that I had used multiples hundreds of times and she maintained the 1 & 1 rule). I asked for clarification, "Do you mean that if I bought 200 items, I couldn't use a MQ for the paper towels and a MQ for the bread?" She continued to state that "No, only 1 MQ and 1 SQ per ENTIRE transaction regardless of how many items I buy" and that it had "always been that way."

I nicely asked to speak with her supervisor and she rudely said, "Fine! But he's just going to tell you the same thing!" Then she put me on hold. After more than 10 minutes on hold I gave up and hung up the phone.

What is up with this? Does anyone's store enforce this one? Why isn't this outlined in their policy?

(side note: When I got home that evening I stopped at my regular store and used all 3 coupons without question!)

Jill, do you have a coupon policy for Meijer? I had some major issues there today with trying to stack a Meijer coupon with a Manufacturer's coupon. I had to ask to speak to the next person higher up 4 times. Finally the store manager okayed it but with the stipulation that I cannot use two coupons per item every again. I kept trying to explain to the women at the customer service desk that the coupon that states "Meijer Discount Coupon" at the top is a Meijer "store" coupon. They kept telling me that it is a "vendor" coupon. I kept saying no it is a "store" coupon because it says "Meijer" which is the name of their store. It put me in a foul mood. I emailed their online customer service asking for their coupon policy but was curious if you had a copy of it. I have never had a problem stacking coupons there ever before. Any insight?

2 weeks ago i purchased 3 axe products at kmart. there was supposed to be a free movie ticket that would come out and it didnt. the manager said they will have to check with the coupon company and axe . they took my name and number and said they would call me when they get the ticket.
how long should i wait until i contact them to ask where it is? its been two weeks.

Does Dominick's accept coupons from other stores? I have an internet coupon from Target.com that I would like to use during Dominick's Live Well deal. I also have a Nabisco coupon that came off of a box of Oreos that I bought at Jewel. At the top of the coupon it says Kraft in one corner and Jewel in the other. Does this mean it is a Jewel coupon? I would like to use that at Dominick's as well. Thanks!

What do you know about ToysRus no longer excepting internet coupons?

I wanted to get the coupon policy direct from Jewel (in case anyone questioned the policy printed out from this site). Here's what I got:

I'm going to write back and request the full policy, but I was so amused by this reply I had to share it.

Effective May 1, 2009 Jewel will no longer accept expired coupons. No Leaway either..

One of the Catalina's that I have expired yesterday. Doh! Will Jewel still accept it if I use it at the register today, since they do take expired man. coupons? I would hate to waste it!

Thanks

Just a quick note to say that the Meijer on Gary in Bloomingdale would not accept a General Mills Catalina printed from Jewel. Their explanation was that they did not take manufacturers coupons with another store name on them. And then they told me that they wouldn't be reimbursed for the manufacturer coupon with a Jewel logo: Jewel would. I told them that didn't make any sense, but they would not budge.

And the worst part, they seemed really happy to tell me that they did not care if they lost my business.

I will not shop there again.

I was at the CL K-Mart today trying to get the free Buddies soap (price of $0.99 with $2 off 2 coupon from the internet) and was told they do not accept internet coupons. I phones the corporate office (1-866-KMART-4U (1-866-562-7848)), and they confirmed that.

I was just wondering if you knew about the CVS coupon policy. Do they take competitors coupons? For example, could I go use the $2 Garnier Fructis coupon in the January Easy saver to make this deal a money maker at CVS this week?

The Ultra at 75th and Lemont in Downers Grove takes internet coupons!

Can you tell me the stores that do not take online coupons? I thought I saw it on your site but can't find it now ~ Thanks

Jill love your work!!! Still would love to see a updated coupon policy for them. I'm sure everyother walgreens is different. Mine will not let you stack coupons from ES and the promo coupons from Pharmacy. It says on the promos not valied with anyother offer. Which means you can use a Manf plus one or the other ES or Promo coupons. I'm sure you can still get the confused cashier or I like to refer to the NEWBES which means they don't know the Managers wishes and If the register will take it.....they will do it. On any giving day, a cashier will tell you store managers policy they won't. Just depends on the knowledge of the cashier. My opinion.

I have 2 B5G1 coupons For Healthy Choice Frozen Meals. Would I be able to use both coupons on a purchase of 5 or would I need to buy 10 to get 2 free? Not sure if I could basically turn this into a B5G2 using the 2 with the same purchase?

Woodmans on Randall has now posted on their doors "We do not accept internet coupons".
