Save.ca Coupons Not Accepted - Canadian Freebie Forum ~Canada's top free sample, coupons, & contests forum

01-22-2009, 05:21 PM

My grocery store (Price Chopper) refuses to take save.ca coupons. The cashiers have been programmed to say that they store can't get their money back.

Anyone else run into this problem? What grocery stores will accept them?

Miss Cristy · 01-22-2009, 08:30 PM

You know I wondered about that. There was cashier at my local Price Chopper who tried to refuse my Similac coupons (the ones that look like cheques). She told me that they were not included in that program. That is bull, as long as they send in the coupons that they redeem, they will be reimbursed for it. I haven't tried my save.ca coupons there yet. This should be interesting.

Never had that problem. You should email them on their "contact us" page on their site to see what the company policy is on these coupons.

I would email them give them the link, explain that the coupons are mailed to your house & not printed from the internet & ask the company policy on them. I would wait to hear back from the representative to tell them my story. If the company policy is to accept these coupons, then tell your story..

They are owned by Sobey's & Sobey's has taken my Save.ca coupons.

Actually my friend mentoned a similair sitution @ a No Frill's (here in GTA) that they will not take save.ca coupons and will only be taking coupons that are in the newsaper and the coupons that U get off the grocey store shelves.

The cashier told her that 2 many folks are producing save.ca coupons on their home computers & attempting to pass them off as the coupons that you can order on the save.ca web site!

It only take a couple "bad apples" to ruin it for everyone else!

girlsaint · 01-23-2009, 10:04 AM

Don't they have a scannable UPC on the coupon? I thought that was all the proof they needed....

Tanyab79 · 01-23-2009, 01:13 PM

Wal-Mart takes them no problem.

01-23-2009, 01:56 PM

Thanks for your responses. I am going to shop at No Frills and Sobeys this weekend so I will try to use them there and see what happens!!

Naomi · 01-23-2009, 04:14 PM

supervalu takes them no problem....the only ones they dont take here are the print yourself coupons

crackercrumb · 01-23-2009, 05:06 PM

Metro, which also owns Food Basics, take them no problem. The Metro near my house (downtown Toronto, College Park) has signs up that they do not accept internet coupons, but save.ca are alright since they are mailed to your home.

roswell · 01-24-2009, 06:45 AM

safeway and superstore take them no problem , my safeway knows me now and they are always curious as to what coupons i will have this time, ,and they take any i bring in LOL i could probably make my own , and they always check to see what i saved last grocery shopping was $ 50 saved ,not bad

mjbl02 · 01-29-2009, 05:04 PM

I have used them at wal mart too and no problem from them.

OMG r u serious..... I can't believe ppl would do that but also i think the paper that save.ca coupons r on kinda proves if they really are save.ca coupons cause I haven't seen that paper on store shelves anywhere and it has the save.ca stuff on the back... And like that other person said isn't the scanable upc thing the proff that its real?

02-19-2009, 07:41 PM

I hav alos used them at wal-mart

really? I've used many save.ca coupons at my Price Chopper and they always take them. I was worried the first time because they have a big sign on the front door saying "we do not accept internet coupons" but apparently they just mean the ones you print at home.
Next time ask why they won't. When they won't answer ask for a manager. They'll most likely over ride it if they feel like you are ready to make a big fuss.

Shopper's on the other hand. oh man did I have a fight with a manager today over some save.ca coupons.

the food basics where i live wont accept them. they said that they might be fraudulant because they come from the internet. bullshit!

ksg1017 · 07-23-2009, 02:08 AM

The Price Chopper's close to me now has a sign up at the entrance that says they don't take certain coupons (I think it said 'printable', I forget what it had said exactly, I'll check again)

liljj07 · 07-23-2009, 12:00 PM

I have used save.ca @ price chopper....

Lemmiwinks · 07-23-2009, 02:44 PM

I've never had a problem with using coupons anywhere. (Particularly No Frills, Price Chopper, Metro, Wal-Mart, Zellers, Shoppers, etc..). Save.ca coupons as well as coupons that look like cheques... Just make sure you sign them to make them look more legit. A good tip is to READ THE FINE PRINT. If you qualify and have picked the right product and they still won't accept them, ask for a Manager. Sometimes the Cashier is just a dumb bimbo who can't comprehend what the coupon says... I once handed a cashier a coupon and said "I'd like to redeem this coupon for a free (whatever it was...)" and she didn't know what i was talking about... She didn't know what "redeem" meant... LOL!

If I went to a store and they were being unreasonable and didn't accept my coupon's I'd be SOOOOO mad I would boycott the Store and call Head Office.

cheetah · 07-23-2009, 08:39 PM

I use save. ca coupons at No Frills, Food Basics, Fortinos, Walmart, Zellers, Shopper's Drug Mart. I haven't used them a Price chopper recently but they used to take them.

Dark_Angel · 07-27-2009, 02:47 PM

If you continue to have problems with certain stores, e-mail save.ca and give them the name, address and phone number of the store. They will contact them and deal with the issue. I had trouble with a local Food Basics and that's what I did. Now, so far, there seems to be no problems accepting them. They have no excuse not to accept them. They are MANUFACTURERS coupons! Says so on the front and backs of the coupons. I think if they don't, it's just laziness on the part of the store itself. Who wants to shop somewhere that you can't get deals? That's bad for their business.

bratpack · 08-08-2009, 01:32 PM

they shouldnt have a problem with it just sounds like they are just too lazy and dont want the extra work to go with it as long it says manufacturer coupon on it or ya the cashier is just an idiot i know a few of them around in my area aswell

etyt · 08-08-2009, 03:10 PM

Save on food refuses to take save.ca coupons. I think the cashiers are not enough inform or just they are lasie students.

bluebird · 08-14-2009, 11:55 PM

I use my save on coupons at walmart and safeway in my town all the time and I have never been refused at either.

karenlztt · 08-15-2009, 11:18 AM

talk with the manager
