How Do You Recognize Legit Internet Coupons?
The other day as I stood in line with my 12 items and more, I wandered past the tabloids, assortment of flavored low- calorie gum, and landed on photocopy nestled between the cashier and my groceries. The sheet listed tips for the cashier to recognize a legitimate Internet coupon. I immediately had a Family Guy flash forward; it featured me holding up the line with a phony coupon and an angry mob chasing me down in the parking lot, flipping my car over and taking my Twinkie box. Thus, I read on and decided to share the information with you!
How to Identify A Legit Internet Coupon:
1. No Free / High Value Coupons – Does the offer looks to good to be true?
2. Customer Identifiers – Asks you enter in a Pin code from a website
3. Expiration Date – Is there a date, if so is it within a few months?
4. Legal Language – Is there legal language (fine print)?
5. Easily Scannable Barcode – Does the bar code code look clear?
6. Color or Black & White – It doesn’t matter
7. Multiple Coupon Prints – There should be a limit, if not probably not real
8. Obvious Alteration – Common sense goes a long way
