Here is the Giant Tiger Canada coupon policy. I’m so happy to hear that they apply the full coupon value to your purchase(s) and that they take printable coupons!

Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us. Please note that if it is a valid manufacturers’ coupon with the manufacturer’s information available (i.e includes instructions to retailers, barcode, expiry date etc), we do accept Internet coupons. As for your second question our system is not currently linked to the item and Manufacturer’s coupons are treated as tender. For this reason, the full amount of the coupon would be applied. Your interest in Giant Tiger is appreciated. |
Just read this on their site, in their FAQ section:
Q. What is Giant Tiger’s coupon policy?
Internet/Manufacturer’s Coupons:
Coupons are accepted only if the store carries the item
Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase
Canadian coupons only are accepted
The coupon must have Manufacturer’s instructions to the retailer as well as a Canadian remittance address
The item purchased must match the item presented on the coupon, (identical in size, quantity, brand, style etc)
The expiration date must be listed and coupons must be redeemed prior to that date.
Coupons must have a scanable barcode
Number of coupons that can be used for each item:
Only one acceptable coupon may be presented for each item purchased within a transaction
The store reserves the right to limit quantities where multiple coupons are used for multiple purchases of the same item
Free merchandise with a coupon (i.e. BOGO)
No Sales tax is applied on free merchandise
When coupon value exceeds the price of the Item:
If the value of the coupon exceeds the price of the item (including taxes), the excess value of the coupon is applied against the transaction total for all other items purchased (after taxes). Any remaining coupon value after the excess value has been applied against the transaction total for all other items purchases (after taxes), is not paid out as cash.
Just read this! Had no idea that GT took internet coupons or gave you a discount for bringing in your own bag!! I don’t think they charge for plastic bags here (Brantford ON) but might try bringing in my own bag next time! Ziploc Bags should do nicely!!
I too went to Giant Tiger to buy something on sale and tried to use a coupon and they refused. Why is it that pretty much every other store will let you use coupons on a sale item but not Giant Tiger. Do you know what there policy is with that?
Darlene: They should ring in coupons at the full value. I would suggest calling head office if they didn’t do thst for you.
Treated as tender? They took my 4 $6 aspirin coupons changed the value of their aspirin in the computer from $4.97 to $6. The supervisor(?) said to the cashier to do this so they will get full value of the coupon. I didn’t expect overage but I didn’t expect them to do that. Were they allowed to change the price of their aspirin just for that???
They were wrong. That line simply means that you cannot use more than one coupon on one item.
My local GT will not accept coupons on “on-sale” items. Their explanation: the coupons “cannot be combined with any other offer”. I have e-mailed their customer service for more info, but so far, no response. In the meantime, I price match at my local Maxi grocery store.
Haha, ok, lots of small bags, no big bags.
I didn’t either until I did a big shopping there last week and brought my own bags. I thought I miscalculated my coupons as my bill came in less then expected so I asked the cashier. Indeed just like the US they reimburse the consumer for bringing in their own bags. 3 cents off your cart for each bag! So bring a lot small bags next time you shop there. lol
Linda – I agree that it would be more useful to have a contact, but unfortunetely, nothing was included in the email. I even emailed them back asking for a contact number and just got the same response.
Natalie – Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Great deal!
*PLUS* Giant Tiger is the only store (here in Ottawa anyways)that will actually deduct 3 cents off your cart for each recycling bag you provide them!!!
Great work Caissie. I like to have a printed copy of a store’s policy when using coupons. However, there is nothing on your printable version showing who this came from. It would be a lot more useful if it showed that the email came from head office or something of the sort. Love your site, keep up the great work.
