Fine, ban them all. They're all equally tedious.

These coupons aren't clipped out of the newspaper. They are 1:1 promotions recieved for a previous Blu purchase or found in DVD cases to encourage somebody that just dropped cash on their product to try a BD at discount. The cost of the coupon is defrayed by the PURCHASE of the original BD or DVD.

Do you really not understand that? To just duplicate the coupon and pocket your $10 without making the previous purchase isn't "finding a good deal". It's theft.

i worked at walmart when i was in college and they told us during training that it was a good idea to keep the coupons if thecoupon wouldnt scan and we had to do a manual discount, but if the coupon is scanned rip it up or put it in the drawer because it goes in the system.

so on that note i done feel bad using the coupon because when i go to the walmart and target here, they do the exact same thing of throwing the coupon away

Speaking of best buy specifically, is it wrong for me to use the same 10% or $20 off of 3 blu rays multiple times? obviously best buy doesn't care, cause it's linked to your reward zone, so they KNOW. they would stop it if they cared.

Obviously its Wicky's decision, I can attest to that. But I don't feel this is legal, just as I still don't feel having a digital copy of something i purchased (no matter the price) should be considered illegal. 2¢

That said, I don't think it is for public forums. let them be traded through pm or such if need be

Just because you think something shouldnt be considered illegal, doesnt make it so

this is so stupid lets all cry because someone is making $10 off a multi billion dollar company, WM wipes their *** with hundred dollar bills $10 isnt going to kill them

For the man who makes fun of me for "working" at Walmart, which I do not. You do yourself. Think thats pretty ironic

Chillax dude.

All I am saying is ban all the illegal activities if you are going to ban one. If the mods decide to be selective than I would like to know what the difference is between the things I have said.

http://www.reps-usa.com/ is differant from Walmart.

Im sure you still work there, just dont want to admit it, its ok though. Good luck with your 6.50 or however much minimum wage is now.

Im going to keep using as long as walmart will take them. I bet they never send them in either and as a former employee of walmart (7years ago) ive been screwed and harrassed by the store multiple time so screw them if they dont get reimbursed in which i think they do.

Are you for sure that it is considered certifiable theft? I'm curious.

[BLU for Blue]

And I do the work you lazy ass Walmart employees are supposed to. My job is actually to check on the job you do and straighten up, but because you Walmart employees just sit at the register in the electronics dept all day im forced to do all of the work. But I guess its worth the pay check I get

im just trying to say that while not right, it is far from counterfeiting legal

I doubt anyone would try and charge anyone for something like this. Is it theft, I'm sure it can be construed that was...does anyone (aside from apparently some people on this board) i doubt it

somebody could contact disney for an official clarification. I think Wicky should have made the announcement, then closed the thread.

Bottom line is they arent allowed here, whether you get them via google search is your choice.

I have no problem with a website refusing to sanction the use of fraudulent coupons, but I refuse to feel remorse for ripping off billion dollar cutthroat corporations. Wal mart has destroyed my town, and they have done so to many more. Corporations that pay their employees garbage, so that the ceos can make billions. Wickywoo, I agree with what youve done, but I also fully support ripping off wal mart and any other corporation that thrives on destroying small businesses and towns, and pays their employees barely enough to eat. End rant.

Yep. That's why they have Do Not Duplicate printed right on them.

When you run a company, your coupons are just like currency. You know the exact amount of coupons that you have printed, and the exact amount that you have circulated. You budget for it, and you expect a return on the interest generated by those coupons.

Y'all can dig in as much as you want, and I personally hate Wal*Mart with a passion (since they keep popping up in this discussion), but I'm glad to see us getting jerked back to reality on this one.

Wicky Woo....thanks, I was really getting tired of reading about how people scam stores followed by instructions how to do so. Hey, what people do is their own business, but a public forum doesn't seem to me the place to discuss putting one over on a company or store.

I honestly have to admit I agree with you. I despise walmart, even though I occasionally shop there.
