Remember when Walmart asked us consumers to complete a survey about coupon use? We spoke… and they listened! They’ve revised their coupon policy, and this is definitely going to change shopping at Walmart!
Two of the biggest changes I noticed is that they will give you change if the coupon exceeds the price of the item, and they also accept Catalina couopns from other stores! Here’s the entire new policy:

Walmart will accept the following coupons:
- Manufacturers’ coupons
- Print-at-home Internet coupons
- Must be legible, have “Manufacturer Coupon” printed on them, have a valid remit address, valid expiration date, and have a scannable barcode
- Competitors’ coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price
- For example, a box of Rice Krispies for $2.99
- Soft drink container caps
- Checkout, or Catalina, coupons (Register Rewards included!)
- These are printed at competitors’ registers, have “Manufacturer Coupon” with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address, valid expiration date, and a scannable barcode
Walmart does not accept the following coupons:
- Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase (printable FREE item coupons)
- Competitors’ coupons for dollars/cents or percentage off, buy one get one FREE, and double- or triple- value coupons
Coupon guidelines and limitations:
