Kmart Doubling Circus!

Posted by Joanie Demer  //  Uncategorized  //  Comments (15)

orang-utanKmart CEO (pictured right) is unofficially thinking of doubling coupons beginning this Sunday, November 1st.  He’ll neither confirm nor deny the rumors swirling around.  I would guess, that even if they are doubling it won’t be in ID or UT, but I’m getting excited at the possibilities for the rest of the country nonetheless!
During a Kmart double coupon event, Kmart usually doubles coupons up to $2.00 in value, up to ten coupons per shopping trip.  We’ll have to wait and see if the rumors are true. . . whether the ‘monkey’ (said with all the love in the world, but seriously who is in charge, really?  And what is the marketing strategy of confusion trying to accomplish?) in charge of Kmart doubles decides to ‘go bananas’ and double our coupons or just resort to ‘throwing poop’.

    I had emailed K-mart customer service last week to ask if they were doubling coupons anytime soon,I finally received a response and Miguel from Retail Customer Care says they will not be doubling coupons the rest of the year. Do you think he knows what he is talking about? Last time they doubled coupons here (Florida)it appeared K-mart was the last to know they were.

    Would LOVE to see double coupons again. Last time was my first time and we had a blast. The only problem I had was that all of the stores here in Jacksonville, Florida had a limit of ten coupons per transaction. Took a LOT of doing to get all of my stuff. LOL But, we did find some Dr. Pepper eight packs for 2.99 and each box had a $1.00 coupon on it. So, we got them for $.99!! Great deal!!

    Here’s hoping for another round!!!

    I think the monkey reference is really too kind for the KMart higher ups. Here’s to hoping the doubling happens!!

    Does anyone have that e-mail address???… I’d be intrested to see what kind of response I’d get back.

  11. Beth says:

    help@customerservice.kmart.com

    This is the email address I was given.

    If you email Kmart Customer Service you’ll get an answer like this,
    Thank you for contacting Kmart regarding the Double Coupon Event. We
    appreciate your interest in this promotion.

    Unfortunately, there are no future double coupon events planned.

    Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your business
    and value you as a Sears Holdings customer. We certainly hope you will
    continue to make Sears Holdings your choice for quality and value.

    Sincerely, (name of the rep)

    But this really means nothing because last time Kmart doubled, you could have received this same email the day before. Heck, last time they doubled it wasn’t even in the weekly ad. We won’t know for sure until some ladies head in on Sunday with coupons in hand to see what the registers do. . . I’m 51% sure that they won’t be doubling beginning tomorrow, but 49% hopeful that they will be! And that’s why I called it a circus!
