My Walmart would not let me use the Nivea q’s because they would not scan. They won’t take IP’s unless they scan, not allowed to enter manually anymore was the story this morning.
That is true, the crazy thing is that they say to redeem at Walmart on them.
I’m from North Dakota and was visiting a Fargo, ND walmart store yesterday and they handed back half my coupons because they would not scan. Thinking that i might just stick with the insert coupons only.
I get so fustrated at walmart now I used to love going there and never had problems with them but now for some reason they will not take my printed coupons that i get of the coupon sites they said they are copies and that they will no longer take them just the ones that come in the inserts i think that is wrong because i told them yes granted the news paper is two dollars sometimes we just dont have it or dont get to the store in time to get the paper n they sel out fast so people depend on the coupon sites to get there coupons and for them to turn us away is just wrong and how are they going to say that if even on there webpage they have coupons on them for yopu to print i wish they would clarify that and I hate the way they treated me when they decided to stop taking them they were giving me the third degree like i did something wrong I mean its not like there loosing money they get reinbursed back from the company ughh and now Target is getting the same way with all this going on its going to make people stop using them.
Scanning tip they need to USE the GUN!!!!
These online coupons sites need to step up. Why make these coupons with new databar codes available for consumers to print and then have the consumers go through H*%$ at the checkout counters because the stores can’t scan them?
I wonder if some of the problems are the way the cashiers are scanning the products prior to the coupons? I’ve run into this however, once they correct their scan on the product it works for me. I do a lot, and I mean a lot, of price matching at Walmart. It’s very important the cashier scans the item(s) correctly and THEN adjusts the price to the price match. This way the computer will recognize I’ve purchased the product that I’m using a coupon for. When the product has scanned correctly, I’ve had no problems with Walmart accepting my internet coupons. I’m not sure this helps at all, but perhaps it helps for some of the situations. Yesterday I price matched a total of 4 transactions- one of which was large. Every coupon was accepted and I used a good bit of internet coupons.
Trans #1: After Price Match Value (APM): $8.76 OOP $3.26
Trans #2: APM: $5.24 OOP $1.24
Trans #3: APM: $33.76 OOP $12.65
Trans #4: APM: $175.65 OOP $73.64
When price matching at Walmart I keep a running total of savings I achieve through price matching since the receipt will only show post price matching prices/totals. The above mentioned transactions have a combined price match savings of $125.14.
Add the $125.14 price match savings + 124.88 in coupons= $250.02 Combined savings.
OOP was only $90.79 which is just 26% of the total value of the merchandise ($348.55). I’ve built a relationship with some cashiers and the front end managers. We might just have a great Walmart to work with. I shop there at least once or twice a month and have these same types of numbers. It didn’t start out that way. I needed to learn their system and they needed to know they can trust me.
I hope this was encouraging?
Blessings!
Excellent, Karen! Also, if they are having problems getting IP to scan, do be sure they also try with the handheld scanner gun.
Get a RELATIONSHIP going with a couple or > of the cashiers (different shifts?). Also, get to know a CSM or 2. I NEVER have problems at my Walmart, anymore. Trust me, it definitely wasn’t this way a year ago!! I had problems EVERY time, before then!
Also, I have the luxury of going to Walmart any TIME I like – my homeschooled DD and I have been known to arrive at 10pm. Way too many rushed, tired, and impatient people during afternoon hrs.
95% of my purchases are price matches. I carry a SHARPIE and have my DD write the PM price on the product; makes checkout less chaotic and time-consuming for me AND the checker. They LOVE it! On the outrageously low sale prices, I make sure to have my printed shopping list from that store (i.e., Aldi – produce!!!). Most of the time I just have some PM scratched on to a grocery store printout….anywhere I can find room on the paper. (This is an area I am trying to work on to be more organized so trips can maybe be a little quicker).
KNOW Walmart Coupon Policy AND the Price Match Policy! Carry a copy with you – I have many diff store policies kept in page protectors in the back of my binder…just in case. Sometimes you will need to help the checkers, or CSM’s too, understand their policy. When PM meat, they need to ring it up a particular way; a way most don’t know how to do! I help them at times.
My Walmart is actually fun now. Savings are outstanding!!!
