Not sure if this code is one time only or what:
XM5X-WJWW-M7JP-TYNX

That's a Kellogg's code (not Coke) - and it is multi-use

Thank you for the tip on the self-checkout option. Tonight, it worked for me like a charm. Three coupons got me four 12-packs, plus another $4.00 worth of groceries.

I received an error message when I attempted to enter that code into MCR. Any hints about what I am doing wrong?

50k PC Points
 
I see that 50k PC points is one of the "4th Quarter Prizes" in the Coke Zero Squares Bowl game, so I predict that we'll see Priority Club return to MCR sometime prior to the Superbowl.

You quoted the reason it doesn't work in your post: "That's a Kellogg's code (not Coke)".

Here's the Kellogg's Family Rewards program:

Not much there right now, even if you really like Pop Tarts.

Can I use the Best Buy gift card at Best Buy to buy another gift card (eg an Amazon gift card)?

If it's only one per transaction, it will say so on the coupon.

Yesterday, a clerk in my local Safeway let me use three coupons to get four free Coke 12-packs (plus $4.00 towards my other groceries).

Today, same store, different clerk, I was allowed to redeem only one coupon, although I was buying four 12-packs. The clerk cited the "One coupon per purchase" rule printed on the coupons.

Then the clerk was talking out of his rear end.

Each item is a purchase. You can make multiple purchases per TRANSACTION.

I would make a stink and ask to speak to their manager, then have a lengthy discussion about training their employees correctly.

For those who don't believe me, check the coupons in your Sunday paper. Some coupons (especially ones for Proctor and Gamble products) say Limit one coupon per purchase. Limit of four like coupons per transaction

In addition, you may Google "coupon purchase vs transaction." All of the results on the first page can't be wrong, now can they?

If anyone has that conversation with the manager, please let us know how it goes.... particularly when you explain to the manager that you want to use the Coke coupons to pay for your other groceries......

OK, let's not get sidetracked on this thread, please. @:-)

That's called overage. Some stores allow it, some don't.

...which means that you are too old to use the coupons; whereas underage means that you are too young to use the coupons.

I still have yet to redeem my coupons...

Of course the stores allow it. Why shouldn't they? Coca-Cola is buying groceries for their customers!

The real question is whether Coca-Cola allows it! The practice violates the terms written right on the coupon: The redeemable value of the coupon can't exceed the actual price paid for the 12-pack.
