Giant Eagle New Coupon Policy--Some Questions Answered
I called Giant Eagle yesterday about their New coupon policy to get some questions answered. I did get some of the answers I was looking for, but honestly some are still up in the air. Here's a rundown of what I asked and what they said:
- Who is considered a competitor? They DO consider Target, Walmart, Kuhn's, Costco, Sam's Club and ANYONE else who sells groceries a competitor! Since Dollar General, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen's, etc sell groceries, they are competitors as well.
- Will they accept catalinas from other stores? NO. They will NOT accept these.
- Can you stack coupons?(i.e. manufacturer coupon and Target coupon on the same item)? NO. However there have been reports that stores are doing this. Check with your stores Customer Service before you attempt stacking.
- Will you accept "redeemable at" coupons(example: Redeemable at Target, Walmart, etc)? YES! They will accept these.
- Will you accept ECBs, +UP and Register Rewards? The answer I got was NO. Again, there are reports of some Giant Eagles accepting these so check with Customer Service before trying to redeem them.
My two cents...check with your store. There always seems to be slight differences from store to store since many Giant Eagles are individually owned and operated. Each store may interpret the new policy differently, so it's best to check. If you get the heads up before shopping, you can save yourself a lot of hassle at the register. Remember to print out a copy of the new policy here. Carry it along with you. And please, be kind & courteous to the cashier's. After all, they are learning the new policy as well.
I will keep you updated on any changes that occur with the policy. Honestly, I'm expecting revisions in the future. I will also let you know, through My Shopping Results posts, what competitors coupons I was able to use. Please feel free to comment on a this post or Shopping Results posts with any information you have.
Live Frugal. Live Happy.
