Kmart Coupon Policy

Posted in  //  Kmart  //  Comments (7)
Kmart does not have an official policy available online. The following questions have been answered for KCL by Kmart Customer Care.

1. Do you take ALL manufacturer coupons? Do you exclude any? Ex: above $5 off, BOGO offers, coupons for free product?

We accept any manufacturer’s coupons that have a scannable bar code and that are not copied from an original coupon. Upon using the coupon, it must be surrendered to the cashier. We accept $5 off coupons, BOGO offer coupons, and free product coupons, but they are not doubled during our double coupon events.

2. Do you accept Internet Printable Coupons? May I print them in black and white? What if any restrictions do you place on IPs.

We do accept internet printable coupons as long as they have a scannable bar code. Kmart will not accept coupons for more than about 75% of a product’s value or free printable coupons without a purchase requirement. Coupons will be rejected if they appear distorted or blurry, altered in any way, or are obvious duplicates.

3. May I use a Kmart store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same product? Does this vary based on the store coupon?

More than one coupon may not be used on a single product, so we could not accept a Kmart store coupon along with a manufacturer’s coupon on the same item.

4. What is your policy on overage: when the value of the coupon exceeds the value of the product? {Ex: $1.00 off coupon on $0.97 cent product.}

Coupons will be auto adjusted down to match the item’s price. No overage will be given either in cash back or applied to the basket purchase.

5. Is there a limit of # of coupons per transaction?

During our double coupon events, there may be a limit, and that limit varies by event. However, during regular business days, any limit the number of coupons a customer may use during that day may be imposed by the store manager if necessary.

6. Are individual stores allowed to impose their own rules or vary from these policies?

Individual stores should not be imposing their own rules nor vary from our policy unless they have previous permission from our corporate office.

7. Do your stores give out rain checks? (a rain check is given if a sale product is out of stock, when the next shipment arrives, even if the sale period is over a rain check guarantees you the sale price for your items)

We do give out rain checks on certain items. However, if an item is part of a sale that only lasts a few hours, or if the advertisement specifies that quantities are limited, we do not offer rain checks.

8. Do your stores allow special ordering, in order to buy in larger quantities without clearing shelves?

Our stores are unable to place special orders for customers. When we are having a special on a certain product, a larger quantity of that product is usually sent to our stores.

9. Is there a contact phone number that can be called if a customer is having policy trouble?

If you are having any issues with your local store, including coupon problems, you may email us at help@customerservice.kmart.com or contact our Retail Customer Care department at 1-800-549-4505.
Concerning Double Coupon Days:

10. When policy states only 10 coupons may be doubled per customer per day:
May I still use more than 10 coupons? Example: May I use 15 coupons, but only double 10 of them?

When policy states only 10 coupons may be doubled per customer per day, you may use more than 10 coupons, but only 10 will be doubled. For instance, you may use 15 coupons, but only 10 will be doubled.

11. If I shop with my child may I have them do a transaction with another 10 coupons? Who constitutes a customer? Someone over 18 or anybody?

Anyone making a purchase in our store should be considered a “customer”. However, during our double coupon events, we ask our cashiers and managers to use their own discretion when a customer is wanting to have their young children do transactions with coupons in addition to the adult customer’s transaction.
Kmart’s Double Coupon Acceptance Policy

    Note the 'Limit 25 coupons per customer per day' also. That should help with the 10 per transaction question, if you want to use your kids. HTH!

    I take the wording "exceed the value of the item" to mean that they won't give you overage. It doesn't say it can't be "equal to" the value of the item. Also, if the coupon can't exceed 75% of the value of the item, most of the doubles deals are free only after Kmart matches the coupon value, so the coupon value itself doesn't usually exceed 75% of the item.

    I used a $3/2 Right Guard Total Defense 5 printable coupon last week at Kmart. This evening, I sent my wife in with 4 of them to take advantage of the $5 catalina with $20 spent (8 sticks deodorant for $20 – $12 coupons – $5 catalina = $3/8)

    She called from the register where they said they do not accept printable coupons. I told her to ask if they would try scanning them, which they refused to do. Instead, they got the manager who said it is their policy to not accept coupons from the Internet.

    I told her to just leave and I will come back to try to find the young lady that took the coupon last week, no questions asked!

    I am echoing the frustration that the managers need to be trained on the policy (and a printable policy would be nice :-)
