Michaels- I am a little sad.

[Disney Ontario]

Hi. I went to my closest Michaels tonight, 20 min. away. Paying for my purchase, I asked if there was a coupon available this week? They donot give them out any more. Living out of the area, I donot receive a flyer in the mail. I was getting one in the store all summer.

How about online? Hobby lobby send a coupon via email every week.

ac moore gives them out online as well. and my michaels will accept an acmoore coupon. maybe you can sign up for that and then take that to mike's? just a thought?

The Michaels and AC Moore near me will only accept a competitors coupon if it's the printed ad from the newspaper ... they will not accept someone elses online coupon. You can get AC Moore coupons from their website and now they also have a rewards program you might want to look into ... I believe it's just started.

I wish they would get their acts together. Some take computer printed competitor coupons, some don't. Some give out coupons, some don't. It's really frustrating and I feel your pain!

Michaels lack of customer service is why I won't even step into the store.

AMEN to that! I'll only go if there is one heck of a SALE!!! Then I go get only what I came for and nothing more.. otherwise its not even a blip on my radar when scrapbook shopping!

I'm sorry. My old Michael's used to just keep a coupon by their register and scan it for you whether you asked for it or not. I had this happen for years so I just thought it was the Michael's way. Then we moved across town and I went to a new Michael's. I asked if I could have the 40% off a certain item and they said only if I had a coupon. I said I didn't and told them what they do at the other store.

NOW, if they have a different policy and require a coupon I was fine with it, a little sad that wasn't as easy anymore but I was fine with it and I didn't attempt to argue it with the woman. However she had the nerve to go on and on telling me that I must have a friend there that was giving me discounts and that that kind of behavior is not tolerated in their store. What the??? I didn't know any one there, they did that for everyone and I was pretty mad that she would accuse me of purposefully cheating the company. I tried to tell her I didn't know anyone there and defend myself but she just gave a "yeah sure" kinda look at me and walked away. This was about 7 years ago but it still makes me mad!! LOL

I have a complaint everytime I go into Michaels. I never get Michaels' ads in my Sunday paper and when I asked, they said my zipcode didn't shop there enough to get ads. Isn't that convoluted? I'd shop there more often if I had a coupon. They used to scan a coupon and have you sign a list but that's been discontinued. They used to hand out coupons in the store, but no... And, they only accept competitors coupons if they're not computer generated, even though they used to. Then, if you ask any questions about their policy, they act like you're trying to cheat them.

So, I only go there when there is something great on sale and/or someone posts a coupon here (thanks ddavis).

I did talk to a nice check-out person the other day who sympathized with me about the coupon and told me she was getting fed up with the constantly changing corporate policies.

I ran into Tim Holtz in our Michaels last night. He didn't buy anything. Guess he didn't have a coupon either!

No way!~ that's a celebrity sighting! he's teaching a bunch of classes at an LSS near me but it's the same weekend as my main LSS's ScrapPink so I can't go

 

[pixiedustforever]

The Michaels close to us is near the M's corporate office.
They're trying out a huge scrap section in the middle of the store with allegedly a bunch of products not at other M's. We'll see!
They've put in several counters for building pages ... take your pix in and gather paper, embellies, etc., then check out.

I wish Tim taught around here! But we don't even have a LSS!

Try signing up for their emails. They were including the coupon in the emails. I also get their paper ad, so usually just delete the emails. I am not positive that they are still including the coupons in email, but it couldn't hurt to try. They didn't have an ad last week, so no coupon anyway.

Tim Holtz fun!

our michales is taking AC moore coupons now even though a month ago they didnt. There was a sign in the window as soon as you walked in announcing it. Ask. They seem to be changing their policy a lot... at least where I live they do.

I noticed the same sign on Monday night. I wonder if they'll honor Hobby Lobby's 50% off sales. (paper, stickers, albums, refills, rub-ons, etc)
