It Pays To Know - Wal-Mart's Coupon Policy

Wal-Mart accepts the following types of coupons:
  • Manufacturer coupons (Cents Off)
  • Free merchandise (or manufacturer's Buy-One-Get-One-Free) coupons
  • Store coupons
  • Pharmacy (Advertising and Promotional) coupons
  • Internet coupons
  • Soft drink container caps

The following are guidelines and limits:

  • Wal-Mart only accepts coupons for merchandise they sell and only when presented at the time of purchase.
  • Coupons should have an expiration date and be presented within the valid dates. Wal-Mart will not accept expired coupons.
  • Internet coupons should be legible and say "Manufacturer Coupon." There should be a valid remit address for the manufacturer and a scannable bar code.
  • Only one coupon per item is permitted.
  • Use of 40 or more coupons per transaction will require approval by Customer Service Manager.

Also, Wal-Mart price matches competitor’s prices. Your best bet is to take a copy of the current competitor’s sale flier with you. The mobile cashier’s “desk” keeps a binder with all of the current competitor’s fliers in it. If you forget yours, ask your cashier to check the copy that Wal-Mart has on hand.


Wal-Mart does not match BOGO Free offers.
