• If you get turned down and told you can’t use you legitimate online manufacturer’s coupon, don’t back down. Most companies won’t lose a customer over one dollar. One customer had legitimate online coupons and was told that she couldn’t go through the line. She called the corporate office and asked them their policy on online coupons and actually gave the phone to the manager who had no choice but to give her the discount.

• Go to the manufacturer’s website and make sure that the coupon is legitimate. Some manufacturers, like Lunds and Byerly’s, make sure that they keep a fraudulent list of online coupons that you cannot use in their stores.

• Look for reasonable coupons! Make sure that its 50 cents, one dollar, two dollars and not 15 dollars off. If it’s too good to be true it probably is.

• If the coupon looks “jacked up” it probably is a fake. Check out the wording, the spelling, the barcode, the date and ask yourself if it look authentic. If not, don’t print it out; leave it where you found it.
