Nikki, Thanks for sharing your story, it sounds like a very bad ordeal. I'm sorry you had to endure such embarrassment at the hands of a Target employee, I've run into the "coupon police" before. they are just miserable people who seem like they want to penalize us for being thrifty and smart. I say if the computer takes it, who are they to argue! Where's the Christmas Spirit? and what kind of comment was that "cracking down?" on us? what are we shoplifters? I hope you got her name and reported her to someone much higher up on food chain.

I know it has been a while since this post was made but I am making a comment anyway. I did this deal before but about a week ago I went to do the deal again and they would not let me use the $1.50 Q with the BOGO coupon. Her reasoning was that you would be using 2 coupons on 1 item. I said that the bogo applies to the refill, not the tin. She said that the Bogo coupon states you have to buy the tin to get the refill free. I said that I am buying it and I am paying for it partially with a coupon. She said that I wouldn't be buying it if I was paying for it with a coupon and that it would be using 2 coupons on 1 item and the Target coupon policy states that you can only use 1 manufacturer coupon per item. (I know that it says that and I agree with it. I just don't agree with her interpretation of using BOGO's and $ off Q's in this situation.) I said then why have I been able to do this exact same deal a week or 2 ago. Her reply didn't surprise me. She said the cashier can push a coupon through and that I wasn't supposed to be able to do it and I got one heck of a deal out of Target and they know that this has been going on and they are trying to crack down on it. I left mad, frustrated, empty handed, and feeling like a criminal. I would have asked for a supervisor but she is the supervisor. I really don't like dealing with people who think they are educated and know the rules but they don't really know the rules or are interpreting it incorrectly!

I know that some products still have the Q inside, not all of them though. I went to WM and they have them (a big display of the new holiday smells) - with the Q inside. And Home Depot has the holiday ones and they have the Q inside too.
At Target - it is just some people taking them out and then leaving a mess :( Just so they get the deal.

Lisa,
I didn't find any Q's in any of my stores either. They may not be giving them any longer from the manufacturer.
It makes me mad when someone either doesnt' replace lids or destroys packaging to save $ that doesn't do any good.

Some of the Glade products do not come with the coupons inside. I watched them pull some of the items out of a box to put on the shelf and there were no Qs inside. I will say that more times than not someone has taken the Qs out and not put the lids back on :(

Sandra, it was on the back of the ad (top right corner) that came out Sunday 11/08/09. Hope this helps... I have found that the Target here in Fort Smith, AR takes the coupons out of the tins so that customers can't use them. They also remove them from items in the grocery section, specifically the lunch meat.

sandra,
when you scan one of the holiday Glade items, it should say on the price scanner machine that there is a gift card offer, but other than that, i don't know how you'd prove the details of the promo.

Holly, My intention was not to return the items it was the decision of the girl at the Customer Service Desk who felt that it was easier for her to do so. Secondly, as long as they get the money I don't see where or what it matters what inventory is sold for the item. Lastly, they get a certain amount of money for handling the coupon so they weren't hurt in my transaction I assure you.

I'm just wondering, is it really a good idea to buy something with a coupon specifically for that item, then to take them all back and get something else? I have heard stores complaining about people doing that, and I can tell you, it will make it a lot harder for us when we are using coupons. I had a Target manager tell me once that someone came in and bought a bunch of stuff with coupons, then came back and returned it ALL. They know when this kind of stuff happens. It's not good for the store and it's not good for coupons. Please, anyone who thinks it might be a good idea to do this, don't. I don't want a crackdown on coupons at Target like last year with the Toy coupon.

Jen, Becuse the refill was with the holder it satisfied buying the holder for the free one which was also the holiday refill/holder all in one. Only one of my targets had this holiday set. It does work! Good Luck!

Sandra to answer your Question:

Try downloading Target weekly sale ad it was in the back of their ad. if you can't find it in your area try my zip code 95621 Good luck!!!

Here at my store they don't know anything about the glade special. Is there anything that I can print out to show them to get my giftcards? Thanks.

tammy,
when you got the holder with the refill packages, what else did you buy with those? I'm trying to figure out how you did this and use the buy a holder get a refill free coupon.
the deal that i've done that works well is to buy 5 of either the tins or the glass candle holders, and 5 refills packages. I used 5 $1.50 off qs and 5 free refills wyb candle holders. So I paid $5 and a got 2 GCs back. It doesn't matter what kind of candle holder I bought, or that i did in fact buy the refills......the free refill q would not only require the amount to be put in, but also the cashier had to push it thru by pressing K1.

Hi guys, when I purchased the holder with the refill which are special for the holiday It counted as the buy a holder get a refill free! awesome christmas gifts. Also, I am not in love with the "oils" becaue they don't last as long as the candles, so after getting my discount, I took back the oils and refills the next day to exchange for candles. When I did that the lady, returned them and gave me a gift card for $35! which I didn't expect. You guys are entitled to the gift cards, don't leave until you get them! But, remember the holiday scents are the only ones you will get the $5 g.c. on.
have a blessed holiday!

When is this deal over?

I had the same problem I bought 2 packs of oil refills 2 candles and 1 scented oil. She said I did not get the gift card as they were not glade air care items. I am emailing a complaint through the Target website. If we all do that maybe they will stop ripping off their customers

The coupons I printed off the site all seem to have a water mark of some sort. I would never dream of photocopying, I think we're lucky to get what we do and very lucky to have someone like Tara who helps us save what we already save.

Memw, photocopying coupons is illegal and can not only get you in trouble, but the stores lose money because they can't redeem them. I'm not being hard on you, because I know a lot of people aren't aware of this, so I like to take the opportunity to inform everyone whenever it comes up.

Most printable coupons have the same bar code but separate redemption codes that can only be redeemed once. So if a store gets 10 coupons with the same redemption code, they're only going to get reimbursed for one of them. This hurts everyone in the long run because stores will ultimately stop accepting them.

So If you get 2 coupons to print, you could just copy them on a printer same thing right?if you look at the numbers on the coupons they both match... just a thought.
