Fields Canada Coupon Policy

Here is the coupon policy for Fields.

Coupon Policy:
Fields accepts the following types of coupons, if they meet the requirements listed below:
• Manufacturers’ pre-printed coupons
• Coupons from Fields’ flyer, website (www.fields.ca), e-mail blasts and in-store coupons
• Internet coupons from Canadian Manufacturers
We are unable to accept:
• Competitors’ coupons
• Photocopies or scans of pre-printed manufacturers’ coupons
• Coupons that do not meet the requirements listed below

All manufacturers’ pre-printed coupons must:
• Be presented at time of purchase
• Be for an item the store carries
• Be an exact match to the item purchased (size, quantity, brand, style, etc.)
• Be from Canadian-based companies
• Have a valid, Canadian remittance address
• Have a valid expiry date and not be expired
• Have a scannable bar code
• Have “Manufacturer Coupon” and all terms and conditions clearly printed

All internet coupons must:
• Comply with all Manufacturers’ coupon requirement above, except that they may be printed, in black & white or colour, on a home printer
• Be legible and clearly not tampered with
• Require a purchase (no free product without purchase)

Coupon use:
• Fields will abide by any restrictions or limitations printed on any offer (Manufacturer’s coupon, in-store coupon, internet coupon, etc.)
• Subject to the restriction above, for any type of coupon (e.g. manufacturer’s coupon, Fields flyer coupon), you may use only one coupon per item purchased. You may use an unlimited number of valid coupons in a transaction, as long as you purchase sufficient items. For example, you may use only one manufacturer’s coupon on a box of detergent, but you may use 10 manufacturer’s coupons on 10 boxes.
• You may “stack” coupons, or use multiple types of offers on a single item. For example, you may combine a manufacturer’s coupon with an in in-store coupon and a flyer coupon on the same item. Stacking is permitted as long as it does not violate any printed restrictions on any of the offers. All coupons must comply with the requirements above.
• Limit 1 Fields’ web sign up coupon per customer lifetime
• There is no sales tax on any free merchandise
• Coupons have no cash value. They may be used to reduce the price on an item to no less than zero. In the case where an offer, or multiple offers, has a higher value than the cost of the product, Fields will not refund the difference in cash or product.

Subject to the restrictions above, there is no restriction on the total number, or value, of coupons you may use in a single transaction.

Price Match Policy:
If you find a lower current price on an identical advertised item, bring in the ad and we’ll gladly match it.
• The items must be identical in all ways
• We must carry any item included in the offer

Our coupon acceptance practices are designed to help extend more savings to our

• if printed from the internet, your coupon is legible
• ensure your coupon is not a photocopy
• ensure your coupon is not issued by one of our competitors

Store issued coupons:

specifications are met (including banner, date, product specifications, limits, combinations, etc).

• Only one store issued coupon can be redeemed per item (no stacking)

Manufacturer issued coupons:
• Can be combined with a store issued coupon

• All taxes are payable on the full value of the item, unless the coupon specifications state it’s for a ‘free’ taxable product

Guidelines for high volume coupon redeemers:
• Please call ahead to ensure we have adequate team members available on our front end at the time you plan to shop so that we can accommodate your needs while providing great service to our other customers.
• At checkout, please ensure that coupons are placed with each item to speed up the coupon validation and checkout process.
• If you hope to purchase large quantities of individual items, please provide 2 – 3 days notice to your local store manager so we can properly manage inventory requirements
• Please note that we reserve the right to limit quantities purchased based on inventory available for all customers.
• Please note that we will not accept large quantities of multiple coupons during any special promotional days. For more information, please see your manager.
• We reserve the right to amend the above mentioned practices at any time, in consideration of the best experience for our customers.

Canadian Tire Coupon Policy

June 2, 2011

Canadian Tire just sent me a message regarding their coupon policy:

There is no corporate policy surrounding the acceptance or the use of manufacturer’s coupons.

Canadian Tire stores are individually owned and operated.

Should a manufacturer’s coupon be presented at the time of purchase, it is up to the discretion of the store to accept the coupon.

Canadian Tire Corporation can not mandate a store to accept a coupon — it is a store decision, not a Corporation direction.”

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you for providing us with the opportunity to respond.
