This is so frustrating for me because I would prefer to shop at this store rather than its competitor. The other store does accept printable coupons. I read a statistic recent- ly that printable coupon use is becoming one of the most popular ways to get coupons, but what are shoppers supposed to do if stores don’t accept them? I don’t want to shop at the other store, but I’m almost forced to, because they’ll take the printable coupons." A: I receive so many e-mails like this one that it’s worth revisiting the topic. Printable coupon use has sky- rocketed. According to Nielsen, in 2009 it was the fastest growing cat- egory of coupons redeemed, jump- ing 263 percent over the previous year. There are a multitude of legit- imate, manufacturer-issued coupons available on the Internet, both on manufacturers’ sites and popular coupon portals and destina- tions. Why do some stores refuse to accept Internet-printed coupons? Coupon fraud is the reason. Most stores do not yet have the technolo- gy to determine which instances of a printable coupon are legitimate and which are photocopies. Photo- copying a coupon printed from the Internet is one of the easiest forms of coupon fraud. A photocopy of a coupon looks almost identical to the original. But, if a store receives multiple photocopies of the same coupon, once those coupons go to the clearinghouse for redemption with the manufacturer, dupli- cates are weeded out and the store only receives reimbursement for the legitimate one. The store takes a loss on each fraudu- lent photocopy it mistak- enly accepted. If a certain store or chain has ongoing prob- lems with customers who pass photocopied coupons, it’s likely to create a blanket policy of "no Internet-printed coupons" to try to stop the losses. Jill This helps neither shoppers nor the manu- facturers, who very much would like shoppers to use coupons to buy their products. I suggest first trying to determine if the no-Internet-printables rule is, indeed, the store’s corporate policy. I’ve heard many stories of cashiers who refuse to accept printable coupons when the stores they work for have a corporate coupon policy that clearly states they should be accepted. Let’s assume that your store does indeed have a policy of not accept- ing any Internet-printed coupons. There isn’t much that you can do other than to take those printable coupons to the other store in town and use them there for the items you wish to buy. It’s always worth expressing your feelings on this issue to both your store’s manager Cataldo Coupon Queen and the store’s corporate office. If a store hears from many shoppers asking "Do you really want me to take my business to Store X across the street, which does accept printable coupons?" perhaps the pol- icy will change. In time, I believe that stores holding out on accepting Internet printable coupons will be forced to change in order to remain competitive. A large grocer in my area had a policy of not accepting printable Internet coupons for many years, but the store recently amended the policy to allow two printable coupons for the same items per transaction. This is a fair compromise, because most sites online allow shoppers to legitimately print two of the same coupon. By only accepting two like coupons per transaction, the store also reduces the risk of being slipped dozens of illegal photo- copies. To read up on your store’s policy on Internet printables, check the store’s corporate website or e-mail the customer service department and ask for a copy.

Disc golf tourney at Black Butte Lake Red Bluff’s own disc golf course might still be a few months from completion, but those wanting to watch the top players in the game will have the chance to do so close to home next weekend. The Orland Aces Disc Golf Club will host the 2010 NorCal Series Disc Golf Championships, California’s premier disc golf tournament event at Black Butte Lake just west of Orland. This year’s tournament will be held today through Sunday, and around 200 of Northern California’s best disc golfers are expected to attend. Located across County Road 206 from the Orland Buttes Campground, the disc golf course at Black Butte Lake was installed in December 2009. The US Army Corps of Engineers, owners of the property and the Orland Aces believe the course has been a great addition to the facility and provides the community with another recreational activity to enjoy at the lake. Hosting the championships will be an opportunity to demonstrate the benefits and excitement of disc golf as participants from around the state gath- er to compete for the top prizes.
