Kmart's Coupon Policy

Email received from K-Mart representative  8/21/2011


Thank you for your recent correspondence. We are always interested in
hearing from our customers. Thank you for your interest in using
internet coupons at our Kmart stores.

Kmart does accept secure print-at-home coupons.

Kmart's Print-at-Home Internet Coupon Acceptance Policy
Effective March 1, 2009 , Kmart will accept industry-standard, secure
print-at-home coupons. This will provide additional benefits and
incentives to our customers to help them save their money at Kmart.

Due to the continuing shift in utilizing online facilities, allowing the
redemption of print at home coupons is becoming a larger more important
aspect to the budget wise customer. But there is a significant risk in
fraudulent alerted coupons. It is critical that the following guidelines
be understood and followed to identify coupons that will not be accepted
by the Kmart register operators.

Kmart can only accept print-at-home coupons if they scan properly at
checkout.
Legitimate printable coupons are delivered using special software
designed to print a properly rendered barcode on the coupon and limit
the number of coupons printed. If the coupon dos not scan properly it
cannot be accepted

Kmart will not accept coupons for more than about 75% of a product's
value.
For example, a $2 off coupon for a product that sells for $2.25 is
unlikely to be legitimate. If there are exceptions, Kmart is usually
provided advance notice by the manufacturer.

Coupons will be rejected if they appear distorted or blurry, altered in
any way, or are obvious duplicates.

Kmart will not accept " FREE product" (no purchase required)
print-at-home coupons.
It is currently an industry practice not to produce print-at-home
manufacturer's coupons for free product. Buy-one-get-one-free coupons
and other values that have a purchase requirement are acceptable.
