Jen: Yes, they should have the policy with all cashiers. Also, yes, they do have to give you the overage.
Does anyone know if you shop in Walmart if the store has a copy of there coupong policy? One other question if a coupon is more then the product do they have to give you the overage on the coupon?
Jennifer: No, the coupon has to have a final selling price. For example, save $1 on Campbell’s soup, only $0.25 with coupon.
walmart doesn’t accept competitor coupons as far as I know…..
because if u flip the side of Coupons (that u get from Real canadian superstore Coupon ZONE), there is a list of stores where those coupons will be accepted…..the stores usually include Nofrills, Loblaws, Frotinos, Valu-wart and etc….walmart is NOT listed there…so they don’t accept competitor’s coupon
When they say they accept compeditors coupons are accepted does that mean I can use the Metro 1.00 off 4 cans of campbells soup or coupon zone coupons there?
sandra: Yes, you can do that. As for competitor coupons at Walmart, they do accept them as long as there is a final price included (Save $1 on Pantene, only $1.99 with coupon).
At wallmart today with a Zone coupon from superstore,they refused to accept . They have taken them before but are not accepting them now. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks.
Have another question when doing a BOGO purchase can one use 2 coupons ?
heyy amita..i m glad that u liked my writing….I was just trying to express my opinion…..
i wanted people to understand cashier’s point of view….its not easy for cashiers to get away if they make some mistake !!!
I hope all people will try to understand me nd agree with what I said below..
I love what you wrote. To the point and clarifies. Good job. Good writing. I love Walmart
hii everyone….
I agree with LOUISE (cashier from walmart) since I am also a cashier at walmart Canada store.
I would like to express my opinion as well….
1) yes, walmart Canada does accept coupons when you price-match with other stores.
(i have seen lotssss and lotss of customers doing price-match with other stores and then using the coupons from one of the websites (save.ca, brandsaver.ca,gocoupons.ca, websaver.ca) Or manufacturing coupons
2) when we cashiers are looking at the coupon very closely, it doesn’e mean that we are thinking that you are doing any fraud OR you are trying to get everything for free, OR you are ripping-off walmart…….the reason why we are looking at the coupons very closely is because we have to look for the EXPIRATION DATE, AMOUNT/SIZE Of the item, IF THE COUPON IS VALID IN CANADA or not ?
we cashiers go through lot of trouble sometimes if we accept wrong coupons….because in the end, walmart CANADA WON’T be getting their money back from the manufacture if the coupon is INVALID
we just have to follow the producre very precisely….To me, I wanna be loyal to the company I work for…I don’t wanna get into trouble as now-a-days there is job recession…. don’t wanna get into trouble and losse my job….
…> I WANNA REQUEST all the customers to have some patience when they see cashiers are looking at the cashiers precisely, its just that they are making sure if everything is ok OR not”
3) I have seen that some cashiers got into trouble because they accepted the wrong coupons from the customers……if we keep accepting fraud/invalid coupons, in the end our till is gonna be short of money,…walmart is gonna loose money……
I have seen customers trying to use coupons from United States and they always tell me that last time, another cashier did accept those coupons and they never had any problem……I JUST WANNA CLEAR ONE MORE THING HERE WHICH IS that if some stupid cashier did accept the INVALID coupon last time, it DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN that the SAME MISTAKE HAS TO BE MADE AGAIN,…..I guess you had been lucky last time !!!!!!
4) its easier for customers to say that walmart cashiers don’t know the coupon policy and they always have trouble using their coupons at walmart…….BUT CUSTOMERS should also know that every coupon has fine printing on them…we cashiers are supposed to follow the instructions of the coupon……..
last week, I had encountered 3 times the same coupon and I refused to accept the coupon…….the lady was buying the Pampers wipes box ONLY and she had the coupon which says “Save $2.50 when you pampers pants or Diapers AND wipes”………………..>>>>> SO according to the coupon, you can either
…a) u can either buy pant and wipes
….b) diapers and wipes
because if you pay close attention to the wordings….the word “OR” is between diapers and pants..you are given choice to buy either pants/diapers…
In order to use the coupon, you MUST have the wipes, and the other item can be either pants OR diapers……….
TO ALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO MIGHT READ MY POST, I would like to request that PLEASE DO read the coupons carefully……….i know the coupons have fine prints….please help yourself and make our job easier as well….help urself so we can help you bettter……..always remember that we cashiers are HUMANS too and we are just following the guidelines…….we all belong to good families, so stop insulting us at the cash-registers and try to understand that we are JUST following the guidelines inorder to make sure that everything is OKK !!!!
