Target's fight against fraud is causing chaos around in-store coupons! 😱 (link in description)
A significant change to Target’s coupon policy is having an immediate negative impact on shoppers all over the country who use Target in-store coupons. In early October, Target added a new line to their policy: “Manufacturer coupons must scan at the register, which validates to a master file of valid coupons. Coupons not on the master file are not accepted.”
Target is the first major national retailer to use a third-party tool from Sigma Ledger that manages a “positive offer file”, which is just a list of verified coupons. This new tool whitelists verified manufacturer coupons and integrates with stores’ point-of-sale systems. Now when your coupon is scanned at Target, a call is sent out to check your coupon against this file. If it’s not found, the coupon is rejected by the register.
Target’s policy change is creating waves while hoping that more national brands will jump through the extra hoop of getting onto the verified list so their shoppers don’t get turned away at checkout.
The aim is to prevent fraud — which would be good for shoppers and stores alike. But the result, at least in the near term, has been solely negative for the shoppers we’ve heard from. In mid-October, KCL began to receive complaints from shoppers whose valid manufacturer coupons were being rejected at Target stores. Our teams tested and confirmed the same.
We reached out to Target to get answers. Here’s what we know and what you should be aware of before your next trip to Target. 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/couponing/target-in-store-coupons?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social
