Juicy Juice Coupon is a Fraud

[dqpowell]

Okay, so now I have to ask-I use the coupon with the 6 coupons on 1 page (I used all 6). My supermarket accepted all of them. What do I do now?

Drink your juice. It is yours.

It was/is a coupons off the COMPANYS website. Why are people thinking they can't use it??

Probably because of this.

Many people do not see the coupon as counterfeit-- considering it came directly from the manufacturers website. To each their own...

Nope, I don't buy it. The company thought they would save money, Instead of mailing out the magazine they thought they would entice teachers to print it out themselves if they included the coupon. They just weren't thinking. Many people send this type of mail on, even without the coupon (the magazine). They screwed up, and now they want to convince us it's fraud. Nope..I fell for that a few days ago, but I've talked with Nestle twice now, and realize they are trying to undo what they have done. This would only be a fraud if I "made" the coupon on my computer. But I didn't..they posted it, I printed it, and they will have to live with the consequences. No way would they ever be able to pass that off as fraud. Shame on them, for trying to add a twist to this.
You know, they even tried to say this was a coupon from 2005, but they hadn't been able to get it off the internet. Well, it's off now, and there was no reason it couldn't have been off before.

Hmm..edited to add, the original coupon seems to be back up on the net (the one on their site). What's up with that?

I promise I'm not being snarky here. I really don't understand. If it's a coupon that company posted on their website for people to print off and use, how is it wrong that I printed it to use it???

How is that any different than printing a coupon off Targets website to use?

It's not wrong. Don't worry about it. Their threats are empty, from both a practical and a legal standpoint.

Had it been on there since 2005-- it definitely would have been discovered before now.... and they wouldnt have put an expiration date on it and make that coupon available for something, FREE, for 2 years. LOL what a lie.

Like I said earlier-- they will probably reimburse the stores-- they just dont want to have to do it more than they have to. Why pay for their mistake to the fullest when they can scare the crap out of people in hopes that no one else will use it.

Great...I used this coupon today...

 

[DebMcDonald]

I'm sorry, I guess I'm just a horrible person.

But there's no way I'm taking my juice back, or offering to pay for the juice I've already gotten free. And I'll continue to use the coupon until my store tells me otherwise.

It was/is a coupons off the COMPANYS website. Why are people thinking they can't use it??

I went to stop and shop today and they took my coupon without a problem. I will also use this until the store tells me otherwise. I think Nestle is just trying to scare people into not using this coupon, if you don't use it, they make money, if you do use it, they lose money.

Regarding the starbucks issue above. Those coupons were for a certain district only. The coupon was then copied and that information deleted, so Starbucks then would not accept those coupons, because they were counterfit.

this reminds me of a coupon scandle with a free meal deal at Universal. They turned people away for two weeks halfway through the year it was good for (an entertainment book coupon). They cited all kinds of legal jargon but the coupon was legit so they ended up taking it after two weeks of nonsense. Unfortunalty for me I was trying to use it in the nonsense week

Someone goofed up on the website and they are trying to find a loop-hole for JJ.

I remember that... It seemed to me (at the time) that more people were buying the Entertainment book and redeeming the coupon than they expected. How is that a bad thing, I wonder?

 

[kritter]

I used the coupon today at Stop and Shop not a problem. They took two of them just fine..........

Please don't misunderstand me. I was not saying that I AGREED with what Nestle had threatened, I was simply responding to the question "Why are people thinking that they can't use it." That perhaps eople are (were?) thinking that they could not use the coupon because Nestle was threatening possible legal action if someone did redeem the coupon. Not that I thought Nestle would actually carry out their threats.

Carry on.

 

[julm26]

i really think its sort of ridiculous you all are gonna take your juice back and call the grocery store and apologize. DO you really think the grocery store would call you if they realized they overcharged you?? Maybe I'm just not as honest as the rest of you....

I guess my old teacher Sister Rosina would be smacking my hand right now for taking that juicy juice with my so-called illegal coupon...

Around here most of the stores have a posted policy of not accepting any internet coupons. They even put something on the sign like "due to fraudelent coupons, we do not accept internet coupons" or something like that. (Target takes the ones from its website, and cvs takes the ones that they email you to print out.)
Maybe it's only in this area? (NJ)

what she/he said. FTR, I did not have or use any juicy juice coupons.

Nope, I'm in Atlanta and none of my stores have taken internet coupons for years (although I have heard that a few stores have started taking cents off internet coupons, but not freebie ones like the JJ coupon).

I don't know if anyone else remembers this, but back early in the days of Internet coupons Dove put out a freebie coupon and people were printing out hundreds of them Dove stopped honoring them and a bunch of stores ended up holding the bag for the whole mess. Legitimate coupon users have been penalized for the dishonest few ever since.

And the mentality is what has so many stores (ours included) not accepting internet coupons anymore.

The stores are the ones who are giving away the free JJ, since the company said they are fraudulent and will not reimburse the stores. This will prompt more stores to not accept them.

Hmm...

Once you KNOW a coupon is invalid and you keep using it, have you crossed the ethical line?
