There are two new changes to Target’s Coupon Policy that you need to be aware off. The first change:
BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free).
I have been asked often if this scenario was available and of course my answer was always no. It looks like Target was getting the same type of inquiries, so they decided to address it on its coupon policy.
The second change:
A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.
o If a Target BOGO coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.
o If a Manufacturer BOGO coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.
This is a very important change because in essence Target is saying that you can not use a second manufacturer coupon when you are using a BOGO manufacturer coupon. You can use a second Target coupon though. So this means that scenarios like the one below will not be allowed (the coupons mentioned are just for illustration purposes, they are not actual coupons)
NOT allowed:
Buy two Gillette Body wash $3.99
Use one $2/1 Gillette Body wash coupon from 5/1 P&G insert
PLUS Use one BOGO Gillette Body wash coupon from 5/1 P&G insert
Pay $1.99 for two after coupons
BUT you can do:
Buy two Gillette Body wash $3.99
Use one $2/1 Gillette Body wash TARGET coupon from homemailer
PLUS Use one BOGO Gillette Body wash coupon from 5/1 P&G insert
Pay $1.99 for two after coupons
OR you can also do:
Buy two Gillette Body wash $3.99
Use one $2/1 Gillette Body wash coupon from 5/1 P&G insert
PLUS Use one BOGO Gillette Body wash TARGET coupon from homemaile
Pay $1.99 for two after coupons
This is something to keep in mind when you are putting your deals together. What do you think of Target’s Coupon Policy changes? Leave me a comment.
Thanks, Penny Pinchin Mom!
