Imagine this: you walk into a store…wait, let’s take it from the top. You are home, you go online and get some really great coupons that you can print out. So, you print them out and with a smile on your face, you walk into a store. Then you pick out the thing that you wanted and go to pay.
The cashier scans the coupon and…beep. He tries it again and still…beep. Now you don’t know what to do, you are standing there and it is very embarrassing to you as he returns the coupon and says that they won’t take it. This is not your day, you figure as you return the item.
Now, I know that nobody wants to be in this situation but it could happen. If the coupon won’t scan, you will not be able to buy what you wanted.
Why Did It Not Scan?
This is something that a lot of people may not be able to answer you. We don’t know why these things may refuse to scan, most of the time. According toSavvy Shopper Services, Some of the reasons you can do something about and some are just simply out of your hands.
- Poor Printing– Let us go back home and guess what? Your printer is maybe low on ink and maybe the toner doesn’t work. Thing is, you may have been beaten by your machine because it could not print this out clearly. The barcode may not print well and…beep.
Check the quality before you walk into the store.
- PDF Coupons– These ones do not have like a unique barcode or anything on them and that is the reason why they may beep at you. That is why you need to make sure that you have something that is well printed for confirmation.
That is how you will get to have what is acceptable. These PDF coupons need to be very easily seen and looking real. If you want to get what you need, be smarter and print well.
- Low Res Settings– The resolution that you print the coupons with will need to be set correctly so that you can have the best coupon print. These settings may be the reason why these things keep beeping at you. So, check the settings.
- Wrong Item– Sometimes, you will find that there is a problem with the way that you understood or…failed to understand this. The coupon may have excluded certain items in which case you need to know what you can and can’t have with a certain coupon.
- Quantity Problems – These come from buying a number of items that are less or more. You need to make sure that you use the coupon correctly so that you can fulfill their conditions to be eligible for their offers.
As you have noticed, these are problems that are easily solved when you know what is happening and that is the reason why you have to make sure that you have everything under control when you have this one. There is so much that you will need to do to be qualified.
It is not that hard to get what they offer.
Policy and What You Need to Know About It
When you have these coupons, you will need to make sure that you know what the store policy for these products is and that is how you will know what to do and how. These policies will keep changing and if they do, you will find it all online or they will tell you if you ask.
That is why you need to avoid the embarrassments that come from not knowing what the policy is on certain things. There is so much that you need to be working with to make sure that it all goes through. That is why you have to double check everything.
Look At the Requirements Closely
There are always conditions when you find that there is something that is being given at a price that is lower than usual. That is the reason why you need to make sure that you know what is required when you use that coupon. That way, you can avoid those episodes where you have to deal with problems that could have been avoided.
These requirements are more often than not, easy to follow and that is the reason why you need to make sure that you mind them.
Coupon Fraud
Yes, this is a thing. It is where people flout the rules in an effort to cheat the system. That is the reason why you need to make sure that you do not fall into this kind of crime unwittingly. They may refuse to serve you next time.
Check to see that what you are doing is legal.
