Target has updated their coupon policy. Specifically, in regards to Buy One Get One FREE coupons. Here is the update:
:: BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free), unless stated otherwise on the coupon.
:: The use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price. A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.
:: If a Target Buy One Get One coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.
:: If a Manufacturer Buy One Get One coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.
This would mean the Degree deal should still work because it’s a Target promotion matched with a manufactures coupon. I know some of you have been successful. Have any of you had your coupons denied?
Thanks, Thrifty & Thriving!

I had mine denied….but the manager was able to help me….so I guess in the long run it was all good!
Not sure when this change happened.. but Friday 6/10.. I used a bogo manufacturer cpn and a target cpn for the degree no problem! Also.. it was the degree with a sample attached… so it was 4 deoderants for $2.39 after cpns.
I was pleased!
I take that back… it was even cheaper.. I had 2 target web cpns… so it was only $1.39 for all of them!
My cashier gave me a hard time and kept grumbling about how people get so many coupons. She suspected foul play. I explained to her that in essence I paid for the coupons when I purchased my 10 sunday papers. She completed to transaction, but scrutinized every single item and complained the whole way! I was just happy I saved my coupons for the right deal.
What is WRONG with customer service these days!!? The money for the coupons is NOT coming out of their pockets so I am unsure why they are becoming bitter over it. Maybe they’re just jealous of our killer deals! LOL
As far as the Degree deal, I did it today and it worked great. The cashier was really friendly and actually amazed that I paid $3.60 and saved $79! I didn’t spend the $3.60 OOP because I used my FREE gift cards from last weeks John Frieda deal. LOVE it! Bummer about the policy change, though!
That sounds just like the cashier I had at the Clackamas Target one time. Sheesh. Every.single.coupon she made a comment on.
I generally do not coupon at Target, because I’ve had the worst experiences there with coupons.
They should understand that even with coupons that we are the ones who keep them in business, keep their job, and help pay their paychecks. If she realized that then maybe she would be more greatful. My Walgreens associates are always happy to see me and are very greatful to have me come in and help me with whatever I need. I love it there!
I have had problems with Cashiers not being fully trained as far as scanning Coupons other than that they have never complained and have always tried to listen to me . They have never made personal, rude comments. These days all the Coupons come with two or three different bar codes and a cashier has to be trained on how to scan those. So the manager @ my Safeway politely apologized on behalf of her cashier not being able to run my honest transaction completely and redid the whole thing and gave me the money back to cover the difference. I too would be mortified if some one was rude to me just because I want to save some money via Coupons.
@kelly – If you ever have trouble with a Target employee, take it to management. My husband worked in loss prevention for over a decade for Target, and as long as they are following policy, there is no reason you should encounter bad customer service. Target seems to really care about their customers, so if an employee is being difficult, they WILL be addressed. So sorry that happened to you.
I was at Target in Spokane WA and was denied the Degree deal, she said no BOGO on a BOGO
That also happened to me at the target in Salem,or
he I was very bummed.
It sure seems like everyone is changing their coupon policies lately. That sucks
I had it denied and then when I went to the management they said they wouldn’t do anything about it. They said if I bought 2 deodorants I could get one free and then the spritz for free. I had to actually pay for one to get the free spritzer.
I went in today, and was able to use my coupons to get free deoderant and free body spray…no questions, and I actually did it at two different times. I was also able to get the travel first aid kits and use overage toward other products. I am confused why sometimes they let you apply overage to your other purchases, and sometimes they don’t. It makes it difficult when planning a transaction.
Target in Clackamas denied my degree deal as well today.. very rude manager.. or so she said she was manager.. not sure.. oh well I will try again tomorrow at a diff target.
