Giant Eagle Coupon Policy Update!
Well it looks like Giant Eagle finally put it in writing...they will accept competitor coupons!
**UPDATE: I'm working on getting more information from Giant Eagle Customer Service to answer a ton of questions buzzing around concerning the new policy. Look for an update later today!
Here's the basic idea of what went on over the past few months at Giant Eagle stores in the Pittsburgh area:
In February, Bottom Dollar came into the Pittsburgh area. They are a discount store with name brand products. Bottom Dollar put a damper on Giant Eagle's business. To fix this issue and get customers back, Giant Eagle's that had a Bottom Dollar store open close to them started accepting competitor coupons. Many of them still do. However, the Giant Eagle nearest to me is privately owned and operated. The owner stopped accepting competitors coupons a few months back due to loss in revenue.
So, today Giant Eagle's corporate office officially released an updated coupon policy which included a section specifically about competitors coupons. I'm assuming this means all Giant Eagles(including the privately owned) will have to follow these new guidelines.
Here's the details and I strongly suggest you print a copy from the Giant Eagle site and carry it along with you.
- We accept competitor coupons provided they are from a grocery, convenience store or pharmacy retailer. We will not accept restaurant coupons.
- Must be for dollars or cents off a total order or a specific product. We are not able to accept % off competitor coupons.
- All competitor coupons must comply with the overall coupon policy above in terms of valid expiration dates, stacking, item limits, printed coupons, photocopies, etc.
- Competitor coupons will not be accepted through self-checkout register lanes.
- Competitor coupons are not subject to doubling.
- Management reserves the right to refuse any competitor coupon that appears to be fraudulent.
Live Frugal. Live Happy.
