No. First, you’re looking for this line of the coupon policy: Only one coupon per item. Second, to stack coupons, you’d need a store and manufacturer coupon. Walmart does often release manufacturer coupons with their logo on it, but I’ve only seen Walmart coupons for the Walmart’s photo area and services like that. Not brand-name products. The coupons on Walmart’s website are printable manufacturer coupons. In fact, they are coupons from Coupons.com fed into their site, just like many other sites have. Regardless, their coupon policy says “one per item” so no stacking, even if you have a Walmart store coupon. Hope my rambling helps!

Shelia, because of coupon fraud, companies have the right to refuse any coupon that doesn’t scan. Usually they only implement this for internet coupons, but it can count for standard coupons as well. Sometimes the store fears it’s only good in a area or store. For example, if you picked up a newspaper in Florida and came here, then tried to use a coupon that wasn’t issued to Indiana, it may not work. While typically it does and the store is reimbursed for it, the company doesn’t have to reimburse the store if it doesn’t scan and they force it through, simply because it wasn’t issued for their store/area. Hope that helps.

I live in Fayette, AL and I was told that if a coupon that is clipped from news curricular paper does not scan it can not be put in manually? Why is this, the coupon is not internet printed but from a news paper

Kim, no. As you can read above in the Walgreens Price Matching Policy, they match specific prices like $2.49 for X. They do not match prices where you buy X and get something, like Register Rewards, in return. Specifically, what you are referring to is this line under “We DO NOT match the price in the following types of competitor ads:” – Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card, example: “Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card. Since Register Rewards work similar to gift cards, in the fact that they are store credit, they fall under this exclusion. Sorry about that.

I was just wondering what walmarts policy is on free items. I was in walmart today and I had an ad from walgreens for free items. Ex: buy one for $2 receive $2 rr. making the item in the end free, the manager at walmart told me they do not do free items and they do not match register rewards. I thought they did?! I want my free items. Can you tell me if they do this or what?

Just read that Walmart double coupons in certain areas. Am I just late on the news? The Greenwood Indiana Walmart said they do not.

Jennifer, unfortunately no. They only allow competitor coupons that offer a specific amount, so a coupon that says $0.99 for Libby’s Black Olives would be honored. However a coupon that is money ($1 off) or a percent (10%) are not accepted. Most stores don’t accept coupons that are for a percent off. Hope that helps.

If I have a coupon that says 10% off can I use that coupon on Wal-Mart even thought the coupon is not from wal-mart.

I know this is an old post, but FYI for anyone reading it… Walmart will only price match on ADVERTISED prices from circulars. This person could not get the Lost DVD season for Target’s cheaper price because it was NOT advertised. Realistically, it’s not Walmart’s job to know every price at every other store, so they are not going to match every price. The price match guarantee promotion is meant to draw customers to Walmart to do all their weekly shopping, instead of having to run around to 5 or 6 different stores to buy all the weekly sale items.

No, Walmart only honors competitor coupons that say the exact amount one product will cost. For example, a Walgreens coupon that states $0.99 for Combos. They do not honor money off a product or purchase.

So, from what I think I understand, one of the other stores has a ten dollars off for spending over a hundred in their store coupon in the weekly flyer. I’m guessing that is one of those things that Walmart will not honor?

Angela, no, you can not use two BOGO coupons on 2 items. You can use 1 BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale to make them both free. Some stores will let you use 1 BOGO coupon and a $/1 coupon on the other, but that is dependent on your store. For a BOGO to work, you have to have to buy one product and be paying a positive amount for it. Let me see if I can break it down for you, so you understand how it work.

You buy (2) Suave Shampoos at $1 each
You hand your BOGO coupon to the cashier
The system checks that you are buying and paying for one Suave Shampoo and make the other free
You hand your other BOGO coupon to the cashier
The system checks and sees you are only paying for one Suave Shampoo and denies the coupon
However, you can give the cashier a $0.50/1
The system checks and sees you are buying one Suave Shampoo and takes the $0.50 off that one

So in the end, one would be free and the other would be $0.50.

No store should accept two BOGO coupons on 2 products. To use 2 BOGO coupons, you should buy 4 products.

Hi. I have also had many problems with Walmart and their coupon policies. Do they accept 2 BOGO coupons for 2 items to make both items free. Ex. I have the Suave BOGO free coupons. Can I use two coupons on the 2 suave products to get them free?

By putting in a call to the president you can solve almost any problem with Walmart. They take these complaints very serious. Find the number on walmart.com.

If a coupon states “Redeem only at Walgreens”, then it’s only valid at Walgreens, regardless of if it’s a manufacture coupon or store coupon. However, since it is a manufacturer, you can use it with a Walgreen’s coupon. Sometimes a store sticks their logo or puts “available at Walgreens” on a coupon. That doesn’t mean you can only redeem it there, but in this case, it’s clearly stated that it’s only redeemable at the listed store.

Hi, I have a question. I printed off a coupon from coupon.com that is $3/2 on Dove Care products, now it says at the top that is a manufactors coupon, but under the pricing on the coupon it says Redeem only at Walgreens. Will Walmart take it as a MFC? Thanks!

They also will not match Target’s prices. Case in point. Walmart sells “Lost: Season 6â€³ for $44.96. Target currently has it for $19.99(unadvertised special with rest of the series for $19.99. The CSM wouldn’t override it because it would mean that Wally World would be losing about $25 off the items regular price!! What is even stranger is that they price matched “Mad Men: Season 4 ” on DVD for $19.99 at Target without the ad!! Needless to say I’m furious at them for not price match both items from the same store!! They claim they still need to see the competitors ad!! What’s even more ironic is this item is for sale this week in Target’s ad!!

How do they expect customers to price match when a lot of people don’t get the paper and get our ads via our cell phones? Or worse we can price check items in the store as we shop!! I think that Walmart has opened up a huge can of worms with this new price match gimmick or bait and switch thing going on!! Do they think that consumers as stupid or something??

Sorry this is long, I needed to vent about this!! This incident I wrote about happened on April 15,2011

Cyndi, I’m not sure, but I’d try calling headquarters. That would be the place to start.

I purchased 3 Sunbeam electric blankets from Walmart.com on 3.8.11 @ $29.00 each. I requested they be shipped Site to Store, and they haven’t even arrived in my store yet (today is 3.17.11). Today, I see in my email deal that they are now $20.00 each. How can I get Wal-Mart to give me the blankets at the lower price and refund $27.00 to me?

Margaret, I’m not sure. Walmart’s return policy is 90-days, so you could return it and buy the new one, I’m sure. So, you’d think they’d refund the different. I’d call them to ask. It never hurts.

Molly, I’ve heard that a lot. I think it depends on where you shop. Mine takes coupons no problem, but doesn’t understand that they take competitor coupons. I have to have them call corporate every time to verify. Then a friend of mine has no issues what-so-ever.

Jo,

I’m not sure I understand your question. Did you buy the sewing machine at full price, then see it at a clearance price and want to get your receipt adjusted to the clearance price? If so, I’m not sure of Walmart’s exact policy on this. You could have returned it, then simply purchased it at the new price.

Or, did you see it on clearance, then go back to buy it, but it was no longer on clearance? If so, there is no price guarantee on how long items will be on clearance or on sale. It depends on the sale, but if an item is no longer discounted, you can’t get it at that discount rate, no matter how long ago it was.

Hope this helps… keep in mind, I’m not a Walmart expert!

I purchased a sewing machine ( Brothers $299.00) & it was marked down for clearance ($200.00) I went back 3 weeks later and was told that I had to buy it the week it was put on clearance. I went in on the 9th day. That the price is only good for 7 days. Wal Mart, Viera #3538; and they had no more in stock. I thought prices were good for 30 days after purchase.

Sincerely

Jo Kennedy
