Updated Target Coupon Policy | June 2012

Target Coupons

Some important changes were made in the Target coupon policy recently, so if you have a copy in your binder or elsewhere, it’s time to throw it away and print a new copy. There are four new parts to the coupon policy, explained below.

  1. Limit of 4 identical coupons per household per day (unless otherwise noted on coupon)
    The maximum number of coupons you can use per day is four of the same coupon, unless it limits you to two like coupons per transaction, like the Unilever coupons.
  2. Returns of items purchased using manufacturer coupons may receive coupon value returned in the form of a Target GiftCard
    As an example, if you purchase a Schick razor for $9.49 and use a $4 coupon and decide to return it, you’ll get back $5.49 in the original form of payment, and a $4 Target gift card for the coupon value.
  3. We reserve the right to accept, refuse or limit the use of any coupon
    This means that what one Target thinks is acceptable, another Target may refuse or limit you.
  4. We do not accept Canadian coupons in our US stores

Head over to the Target site and print a new copy of the coupon policy right now!

    as long as you can still stack a target coupon w/ a manuf coupon on same item, i am good!

    I can’t believe they’ll give you the coupon value on a Target gift card on items you return! I can totally see people abusing the heck out of that – aren’t you basically making money you didn’t actually spend?

    Mishelle, the coupon had probably already been sent in when you returned the item, so the store is going to get reimbursed anyways. That’s why they give you the coupon back on a gift card.

    I read online somewhere that some woman bought about 100 of those free Febreze warmer units, got overage at Walmart, then turned around and returned them and she basically made money. Makes me SICK!

    Erik, you can absolutely still stack a Target coupon with a manufacturer’s coupon! 🙂

    That makes sense then, if the store isn’t losing any money. Thanks for pointing that out!

    It’s sad how a few fanatic couponers are making it harder for the rest of us. :/ Glad these stores are getting wise now, because once they start losing money the base prices will just go up.

    I’m glad they’re finally putting limits on items! So aggravating when couponers clear out products and I have to find another store to buy an item I really need, not just wanted to buy 10 of to stock up in case of a zombie apocalypse. Sad that common courtesy isn’t inborn in some people and they have to set these rules.

    I tend to agree, Kristina! I’m fine with the limit of four per household per day. This is usually enough for my household, and if I need more, I can come back another day.
