Harris Teeter has made some changes to their coupon policy. Please take a moment to read it and understand it. You can view it onliner HERE and print it out if you like. To be honest, I am not happy but it is their policy and we must abide by it. :(
This is very important because it is opposite of what I have been teaching in my Coupon Workshops! They have now limitied the quantity to 3 Identical Items to include wording that says you cannot use identical coupons on other flavors!!! In other words, they are saying you can only use 3 identical COUPONS per day. No more getting several different flavors! Please make sure you understand this and abide by it.
Another change is that you cannot split orders if you are going to exceed any "other" coupon limits. So if you have 6 identical coupons, you cant do 3 in one transaction and then 3 in another transaction because that exceeds their 3 limit.
Another addition to their policy states that a coupon that says "Do Not Double" or "Do Not Triple" will not be doubled or tripled. This is another huge change because most of us know that coupons that start with a "5" will automatically double.

Wow, that really rules out a lot of the internet coupons, almost all of those say do not double. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm a Teeter employee so I just wanted to say that this is not a new policy. It's just that there were so many people abusing the coupons that Teeter finally decided to step up the enforcement of the policy. As the old saying goes, it only takes a few rotten apples to spoil the whole bunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. This is the first I have heard about it. The old policy which I had printed out said 3 identical items and did not specify anything about the "flavor". They added the new wording (not sure exactly when, I just discovered it) which makes it clear. Thanks for being a great Harris Teeter employee! I LOVE HARRIS TEETER!
