I hope you are with me when I say that coupons are awesome! They are a vital part of how I stick to my weekly budget and keep costs down. Unfortunately, like many good things, there are folks out there who take advantage of a great system and it can mess things up for all of us.
Fraudulent coupons are a huge issue and they are likely why you get questions or funny looks from cashiers and managers from time to time – even if you are using coupons properly.
If you’ve been couponing for a while, you probably know that $8 Huggies coupons don’t really exist. Maybe if you had a complaint or issue with diapers and the company mailed you a coupon, but more than likely it will have holograms and all sorts of other fraud protection features on it if that were the case… it’s most certainly not printable.
How can I check out a specific coupon?
Head to the Coupon Information Center website, who maintains a running
list of known fraudulent coupons. Turns out, the $8 Huggies coupon is on that
list!
What are some red flags?
Here are some things that should get your fraudulent coupon radar
going:
- It sounds too good to be true (very high value)
- It’s for a completely free product (Free Tide, free Olive Oil)
- It’s a PDF and not hosted directly on the manufacturer’s site
- It was forwarded to you as an email attachment from a friend
never copy a coupon.
Code may have terminated, may not be pertinent to specific brands, may not be transferrable, or may have the option to be utilized once. It's also conceivable your buy didn't satisfy the necessities of the code, such as spending a specific sum.
