Saw this at mashupmom. The old policy when you had to reach an amount to use a super coupon gave it to you using regular not card price. From Jill's page http://www.jillcataldo.com/node/171 -
"What does "minimum $10 (or $20) purchase required" mean?
To use store coupons that include a minimum purchase requirement, you must spend a minimum dollar amount on that shopping trip. You will reach the minimum purchase amount based upon total purchases before your Club Card discount is applied. This total will include the coupon item's regular price, not the discounted price. For example, the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (before coupon and before Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon."

notice that they've now made it harder aka less shopper friendly-

No mention in the new policy if they hold coupons against you, that was left out when the revision took place. It didn't use to matter.
