Huh? Whenever I go to Target with a $1.00 off coupon with no exclusions and the item I buy is $.98, they tell me that I cannot use the coupon because it is under a dollar. Huh?

But I have pretty much given up doing much couponing there and save it for Meijer instead as it seems their employees all know the coupon policies and I never have any hassle from them. BTW, is it ethical to print more coupons if you have more than one computer in your home~isn't the intent of the manufacturers to limit a certain amount of coupons per household? Just something to consider so we don't abuse a good thing:) I, too, have always loved Target and rarely, if ever, shopped at Walmart.

They can do this at the register... And I agree with everyone's comments. Each cashier and manager has different ideas of what is ok and allowed with coupons. I have the Target corporate number plugged into my phone (1-800-440-0680). I've never had to, but I've "threatened" to call many times while I'm at the register. I think it's just a matter of stating your position and making sure what you're doing with your coupons is allowed within Target policy. It IS ok to combine target Q's with MF Q's. It IS ok to use a Q that is higher value than the item. Just make sure that the Q's are not expired and there shouldn't be any problem...If the cashier or whoever gives you problems all you have to do is call corporate and they should be able to explain it. (But I've never gotten to that point!) Good luck all! FYI, Maria-If the coupon value is higher than the price of the product, the cashier is supposed to “price adjust” the coupon.

I have access to many computers and have printed multiple coupons of the sobee and the nexcare bandages. I have 5 Target stores in my area and I get different excuses all the time for not taking my coupons. Some stores had problems with the nexcare coupons, some didn't. Some had problems with the Sobee coupons, some didn't. I even had a supervisor tell me he couldn't take the sobee coupons and refused to tell me why. Absolutely refused! Luckily they were having a big meeting that day and I was able to speak to a top guy there and they finally accepted the coupons. It still took 15 minutes to get someone to ok everything. I constantly expect to be given the run around whenever I use coupons. I'm so sick of it. I'm always feeling like I'm being sneaky or trying to steal items. Target needs to make a good coupon policy and stick to it and make sure their employees know. Does anyone have any suggestions about this? Is there anything we can do or bring as back up, or do we just have to put up with it? CJ

I have experienced ALL of the issues listed above and many other crazy scenarios, and I really don't think that it has anything to do with the manager's discretion. I believe that it has to do with the fact that the employee's simply have no clue what to do with coupons and usually just make something up in an effort to refuse them. During my last few trips to Target, I have heard every excuse in the world NOT to accept my coupons. They even refused my TARGET coupon! I asked them where in the world they intended me to use it, and they responded that they didn't know. Unbelievable! I have called their corporate office in Minneapolis and have been reassured of their coupon policy, but my local store is CLUELESS! I am tired of them making me feel like I am doing something wrong when I use a coupon! Unless it is an unbelievably great deal, I will shop elsewhere! :( Honestly, I am DONE with Target.

I'm thinking that is what is going on with some of these deals. I went last week and bought the 10 Eggo Bake Shop items and didn't get the $5 gift card that was supposed to come with it. It wasn't in our ad and the register didn't prompt them to do one. I spoke to a manager who was super nice about it and because the register didn't prompt and because it wasn't in the ad they couldn't do it. I still got a heck of a deal on that stuff.
