Could someone post the 415 number if they have it handy. The 1800 number worked for me on the first deal, but now it is not working for me. Many many thanks.

I just sent you a Private Message with the 415 Fax number I had from the Glade MyPoints offer.

That has been cut in half through use, but now it looks like the stockpile will go back up with the Cottonelle. You can never have enough TP as long as you have the room to store it. It sure is awful if you run out of that stuff.
Except that I notice the quality of TP deteriorates over time. Once upon a time I had piles and piles stocked up from doing CVS Extra Bucks - run out of idea of what to buy in order to dispose over $400 ECBs... (still using the PUR faucet filters from doing this 3 years ago.) The TP would become much easier to become "torn" and lost some capacity of absorbency. Since then I avoid stockpiling TP.

Anyone have problems with the coupons not scanning. I just got back from my local WallyWorld. The cashier said there had been problems with the coupons not scanning and called a supervisor. Supervisor just walked over and said "If the coupons don't scan we don't take them", turned around and walked away.

This expedition was a total bust for me since I was also going to purchase a MO, the ATM machine needed attention. I asked someone to help and he said, "Oh, I can't help you, you need to go get someone". I walked out. I know why I don't like going to this WalMart. I'm going to try another one farther away.

But, did anyone else have issues with the coupons?

I avoid my local Wal Mart as well. They make you feel like a scammer if you try to use coupons.

That being said, I've noticed that coupons work better when printed with a laser print instead of an ink jet.

I hate Walmart too, but I'll gladly go there for 2,000 or 4,000 points/miles
Anyway, haven't had problem with the coupons (I use a laser printer) but I haven't been able to send my faxes for 2 days now (using the 800-number). It's like the line is always busy or not working. Anyone else been able to get through? I tried emailing Mypoints- no response yet. What is their (415) fax number? Maybe I'll try that next.

We had some issues with Wal-Mart - the cashier did not see one of the coupons, so it did not get scanned in on the receipt. Finally took a manager and about 20 minutes to get the old receipt voided and a new receipt issued. I really do not think that the extra miles was worth it.

However, we have not been able to get through to the 800 fax number. I even have called the number to see what is happening and the number just hangs up on you. I did e-mail My Points and they said the I could scan and e-mail the receipts and that they would be manually credited.

Same problem yesterday with one of the redemptions. I ended up e-mailing Member Services the fax packet in PDF form and explained that I got busy signals many times and couldn't get the fax to go through. Points were posted just as if a fax was sent. If you have received any prior confirmations of the 1000 points being posted for any product, you have their e-mail address as that is the address they come from. If you don't have it, PM me and I can give it to you. Though it is rather obvious.

I think the faxes just end up feeding in to the Member Services e-mail inbox, as the 1000 point confirmation I received back looked exactly the same as the ones for prior products that I faxed in.

I don't think any of my DeskJet-printed coupons scanned. But the cashier just manually input something (receipt shows the word coupon) without any fuss. That was for 3 trips to Walmart, 2 stores. Today I'm off to buy toilet paper etc. I very much dislike that brand and never buy it, but I guess I can make an exception this time. Almost never shop at Walmart, Target is my store.

Well now I am not even sure if e-mailing works. The first e-mail I sent to Member Services I received an immediate automated response about how I should receive a reply from a rep in 24 hours time. The last e-mail I sent, I didn't get that automated reply at all. I had hoped that the points would post overnight and I would have an e-mail in my inbox confirming the points transaction but that didn't happen. So not sure if the e-mails are even getting through now.

The Cottonelle email offer mentioned fax 1-800-342-8131. Tried multiple times and it didn'work on Thursday (mostly "no signal" error). So, I emailed Mypoints customer service [memberservices at mypoints.com]
explaining the issue and they gave me this fax number: 415-200-4420. Unfortunately, it didn't work either - same problem - no signal.

The same reply said that you could scan the fax package and email them at that email address and they manually post a credit. There is no mail-in option for this campaign.

You would think by now that companies would go with those fax-to-email services. I have a free one that lets me receive a fax via a PDF to my email account. Now if they would just read their email :-)

Just to update. So I go to another WallyWorld. Hand the cashier the coupons - presto change-o no problems. Scans without a hitch. And I had 12 coupons as I did all four purchases for 3 people.

Some Wal-Mart employees just like to complicate things, which is probably what you experienced at the first one.
