Well, I've tried several times at Target to do the 4 coupon deal, but so far no luck. I gave in and bought UP! alone at TRU today along with Bedtime Stories so I hit the $40 to get the $10 GC. I also got the Dug plush, and to hit the $75 I bought a larger bionicle set for youngest DS so I also got the free Bionicle Encyclopedia. My total was $72 after coupon and I got $20 in GC. Not too bad, but more than I'd hoped. I'll print out another copy of the UP coupon and try again at Target later this week, maybe I'll get lucky. As even though I already have it at $5 bucks for the two movies, they'd be good as a gift.

My target gave me a big hassle. They refused to price match the Best Buy ad (which I brought in the ENTIRE ad). They said it was a "bundle" and according to their policy they do not match "bundles". 10 minutes worth of debate on what constitutes a bundle got me nowhere. I was so frusterated. The girl was polite and nice, but would not budge. I would have gone to another cashier, but the store was slow and there were only a few cashiers and most of them got into the discussion. I am going to email Target for clarificaton for my own sanity.
I will try to get back up there on Friday and try again, but my nearest Target is 30 minutes each way, not exactly convenient for me to just keep bopping into.

Same thing happened to me yesterday... they said it was a bundle. I was not a happy camper.

You are not alone. I couldn't get the price match either.

So why is target NOT letting people use all three coupons?

So why is target NOT letting people use all three coupons?

Target stores should be allowing the use of the three printable ones all together if you buy both Up and Monster's Inc on blu ray in the same transaction. They should be able to use the manufacturer $10 off Up and $8 off Monster's Inc as well as the $10 off Target coupon. That is one manufacturer coupon for each and a store coupon (you are allowed to use both a store and manufacturer coupon on the same item). It is when they try to get another $10 off using the peelie coupon that is usually the problem. Since the peelie coupon is also a manufacturer coupon (and it requires the purchase of two items), it shouldn't be allowed to use it with either the $10 off Up or $8 off Monster's Inc because that one $10 peelie coupon used up the manufacturer coupon for both movies. Cashiers who reject the $10 peelie when used with the other manufacturer coupon(s) are right, but other cashiers are letting it go through anyway (they either don't know or don't care).

The stores will get into trouble if they try to redeem more coupons than they bought stock for. If they had 20 blu ray Monster's Inc and 12 people used both the $8 MI coupon, plus the $10 off peelie, they would have needed to have sold 24 copies of the movie to cover the coupons they are trying to be reimbursed for. Since they only ordered 20, they could end up in trouble with the manufacturer (who has to pay Target for all of the manufacturer coupons that are used). Stores can be required to show proof of purchase of enough stock to cover redeemed coupons.

The reason they let you combine store and manufacturer coupons is because they get their money back from the manufacturer (so they get their money either way). The store coupon they use as a leader to get you to buy it and they take the loss on the price reduction (which they planned for--they are probably still making a profit, just a smaller than usual one).

Our cashier at the service desk just said they could only take 3 coupons. It didn't matter which ones but only 3. It wouldn't let her ring up the 4th no matter what order they were rang in. So we used the 3 $10 ones.

Also our Target did not have up at 19.99 for the blu-ray.

Oh okay. Thanks so much for explaining.

Went to two Targets. The one in NY near home had UP $19.99 and MI $23.99. They said they don't price match. So I left. Went to CONN today anyway so stopped by a Target there. They said they don't price match bundles. And they only take one coupon per item. Up was $19.99 and MI was $26.99. I think I'll just use the $10.00 off and buy UP. Don't really need MI, just thought I'd try to get the best deal possible.

Just wanted to add that I used the coupon in post # 21 (Thank You) at Walmart earlier today and got the blue ray set for $ 9.96 (it was on sale for $19.96). So, the coupon was accepted at Walmart!!

That's what we did. We were really lucky because we got the last one. I'm surprised how fast they sold out. Thanks again for the coupon!! I UP!!

To those who got it at Wal-Mart for 19.96 -- was that the price advertised at the store, or was it advertised for more than what it actually costs? I'm asking because my Wal-Mart is advertising it for 29.96.

Funny you ask that, I was in electronics, UP was marked $29.99 (this was Tues AM at 9:30). An associate was standing there with a portable scanner and I said "can you please scan this, it cheaper on-line." She said in a nasty tone, "It is what it is marked, on-line is different". So I asked (well, begged) again if she could just scan it... she scans it and says "It's 19.99" in a 'duh-you-stupid-customer' type of voice. So I point out they are marked $29.99. Ugh, don't get me started on Customer Service right now. Ironically when I walked out of the store all the UP displays near the front registers were also marked wrong. Ironically she also rang up a Wii remote for me, entire diplay was marked wrong.

the yellow topped sticker shows $29.9x but there was a red sale sticker display that showed it $19.9x

It was that at the front of the store, I walked back to the electronics area and there they had the sign for $19.99.

Another reminding trip of WHY I HATE WALMART!!!! I stood in the empty line for 4 min until the cashier stopped chatting and came over, then she tried to say they dont do coupons on movies.....

I tried Meijer and they were $26.99, Kmart didnt have it so it was Walstink by default!

While I was trying to get my printer to work, I guess I pressed "print" too many times because now it says I've exceeded my number of coupons even tho I haven't printed one yet. Now I've finally gotten colored ink in my printer (wouldn't just print in B/W) and it's working. Any suggestions, or am I out of luck?
