TIP OF THE DAY: Read Fine Print
We seem to revisit this topic quite often, but it is very important to always read the fine print and details on coupons, cash back offers and mail in rebates. Actually, read everything on flyers as well. There are more and more restrictions showing up on offers lately and the cashiers simply do not have the time to read all the fine print.
I have noticed store exclusions on Cash Back Apps and more fine print restrictions on printable coupons this week.
EXAMPLES:
Snap by Groupon offer for Pledge Floor Cleaner $ 7 cash back
“This offer is NOT redeemable at the following retailers: Fresh Co, Giant Tiger, Safeway and Sobeys.”
Advil.ca coupons are high value printable coupons, but have size restrictions in the fine print. ZOOM IN on your computer screen before printing to see if it can he used on the item you are planning to purchase.
Using a coupon on something it is not meant for, due to vague descriptions or photos can cause retailers to restrict coupon usage. PLEASE, think about the effect this has on future coupons, policies and deals.
Don’t get me wrong, we have all used a coupon that maybe we didn’t read close, got excited about a deal and forgot to read the details in the store when we came across an unplanned deal…it happens. I am simply encouraging everyone to try to “know” your coupons you plan to use and apply them the the correct items.
Hope you found this helpful and Happy Savings.
