I often have questions asked of me during Savvy Saving programs regarding the Wal-Mart Coupon Policy.

It seems like some stores are refusing to accept Internet Printable coupons. This is NOT the corporate policy of Wal-Mart.


Here is the policy directly from the Wal-Mart website:

Wal-Mart Coupon Policy

Wal-Mart accepts the following types of coupons (see guidelines below):

• Manufacturer coupons (Cents Off)
• Free merchandise (or manufacturer's Buy-One-Get-One-Free) coupons
• Store coupons
• Pharmacy (Advertising and Promotional) coupons
• Internet coupons
• Soft drink container caps

The following are guidelines and limits:

• Wal-Mart only accepts coupons for merchandise we sell and only when presented at the time of purchase.
• Coupons should have an expiration date and be presented within the valid dates. Wal-Mart will not accept expired coupons.
• Internet coupons should be legible and say "Manufacturer Coupon." There should be a valid remit address for the manufacturer and a scannable bar code.
• Only one coupon per item is permitted.
• Use of 40 or more coupons per transaction will require approval by Customer Service Manager.

You can print a copy of the policy here.

I suggest, if you shop often at Wal-Mart, that you keep a copy of this in your coupon box or folder - in case you have a problem.

If you or your group would like to host a Savvy Saving program you can find my contact information here.
