New Walmart Official Corporate Coupon Policy

Walmart has finally released an Official Corporate Coupon Policy that should be used across the board at all Walmart stores.  There are some very interesting changes which I have highlighted in bold.  Be sure to print the policy and keep it with you when shopping at Walmart.  These changes should be beneficial to couponers!

Printable WALMART COUPON POLICY

Walmart accepts the following types of coupons (see guidelines below):
•Manufacturers' coupons
•Print-at-home internet coupons
◦Must be legible, have "Manufacturer Coupon" printed on them, have a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and have a scannable bar code.
•Competitors' coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price
◦for example, $2.99
•Soft drink container caps
•Checkout coupons
◦(also called "Catalinas") that are printed at our competitors' registers, have "Manufacturer Coupon" with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code.

Walmart does not accept the following coupons:
•Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase
•Competitors' coupons for dollars/cents or percentage off, buy one get one free, and double- or triple-value coupons

The following are guidelines and limitations:
•Only one coupon per item is permitted.
•Coupons must have an expiration date and be redeemed prior to expiration.
•Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase.
•Walmart only accepts coupons for merchandise that we sell.
•Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.
•We accept the following with Customer Service Supervisor/Management approval:
◦40 or more coupons
◦Any coupon over $20
◦$50 or more in coupons in one transaction

Keep in mind it may take weeks before all Walmart managers and cashiers are aware of these changes.  I would print two copies of the new policy.  One to leave with the cashier or manager and one to keep with me!
