=======================
xx/xx/15 - xx/xx/15 Promotion

Participating items must be purchased in a single transaction. Limit one(1) offer per transaction

These coupons often do not scan properly(coming up -0.01 along with a 0.01) and require override. Override is always required at SCO.

If the coupon off your next order does not print out, you can request it online here.

When redeeming the coupon, the following items are excluded in the calculation of the minimum spend requirement:
-Fluid dairy such as Milk, Half & Half, etc
-Blunts, alcohol, and smokes
-Gift cards, Lottery tickets, MoneyGram, etc

Considering how many Catalinas I've had to manually submit, I consider this payback...

Wonder if we do 10x100 and if 10 coupons will come out? The 200 are all gone in my area

I prefer to keep it under 500 so that I can use self checkout... draws less attention though override is required. I wonder how the cashier would react if 10x$10 coupons printed...

That's good to know. I just bought two $200 in separate transactions. No need to do that going forward.

Has anyone had a coupon work yet without cashier manual entry?

Apparently the printers will only do so many coupons at once. MAX 5 coupons per transaction, but they can manually force the machine to print more...

I've been using these to get free lunch/dinner for the past two days, none have worked without manual intervention. When the cashier scans them it discounts $.01.

This coupon override is really keeping me from cleaning the $200 visa at my store.

Yeah... I tried to use one today and the cashier couldn't figure out how to make it work so I ended up cancelling the entire transaction.

They've done this same deal before so I don't understand why they can't make it work this time.

see that's why they are giving you the extra this time ... but seriously, it would be much easier if the coupon just worked. I was even told by one cashier that it's supposed to work only on grocery and nothing else..go figure

The override Is it the same problem at the cashier too ? If not, why not just burn through 10 coupons in one trip ? I took 6 cards yesterday at one cashier and told her to ring up only one at a time. She knew the logic and was happy to do it. There wasn't a line.

Someone else said buying lunch and dinner, that's brilliant.

Just go to the cashier who looks most likely to hold the override card (i.e. manager, assistant manager). Not terribly difficult to spot.

Yes..even the cashiers can't override without manager coming over, who then instructs them to manually take $10 off. Sometimes they simply direct towards Customer service.

I just got 4 more coupons from two VGCs and now they say minimum purchase of $25 to use, maybe they were all coded like this but were misprinting
