Since I just shared Target’s coupon policy I figured I might as well make sure to mention that Walmart also has their coupon policy available on their website. This is what Walmart’s official coupon policy states:
Wal-Mart Coupon Policy
Wal-Mart accepts the following types of coupons (see guidelines below):
* 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 we 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.
I know a lot of you have been told that Walmart doesn’t accept internet printable coupons. As you can see they do. Print and bring this policy with you when you shop at Walmart. Hopefully it will help make your shopping experience better.

I’ve tried showing the wal-mart coupon policy to a cashier AND a manager when there was an issue. It didnt matter, it was up to the mis-informed judgement of the person in “charge”.
I have a feeling this would be the same as Target as well.
THANKS for posting both of these coupon policies. SUPER HELPFUL!
when it says “pharmacy coupons” does that mean if I took my Target coupon for $10 with transferred RX, that Walmart should give me a $10 giftcard with transferred RX?
I’ve taken the policy to WalMart. They don’t care what it says. They will NOT take IP’s. So I DO NOT shop there anymore. Free of Wal-Mart for nearly a year and will never return….
Oddly, my Wal-Mart will accept internet coupons at the regular registers, but won’t let you use them at the self-scanners. I’ve always assumed it’s because at the self-scans they’re unable to verify that the coupons meet their requirements, but of course there is an attendant assigned to oversee those registers who could probably check them. *shrugs*
Same here I will not shop at Walmart because last time I was there and I tried to use the internet coupons, they told me i can only use 1 and i said yes a coupon per item and the cashier was so nasty to me, i was nearly in tears.
Well anyway, does anyone have a copy of the Rite Aid coupon policy? They give me grief too, Thank you!
I was at the Walmart in Appleton, WI on Calument St. last week and the cashier told me I couldn’t use more than 1 of the same internet coupon in 1 transaction even though I bought more than 1 of each item I tried to use the multiples on. I had never had issues there before that so I’m just going to avoid that cashier.
Walmart had been allowing internet coupons, not happily, but allowing. But today was told they will not use the ones with the 1Fawcett Drive, Del Rio, Texas address on them. I was told they are a fraud and every Walmart had been informed. They were very rude about it.
These comments go back as far as last year… I’d like to vouch for 2010 being the same: Walmart won’t accept internet coupons. They used to – depending if the person remembered me – but lately have stopped. Same with 7-11. It’s aggravating!! I honestly try to avoid Walmart now so I can use my internet coupons elsewhere. They’d get more business from me (and others, based on these comments) if they’d accept them LIKE THEIR CORPORATE POLICY CLAIMS THEY DO.
I live in Missouri and our Walmart excepts internet coupons. My husband did have a problem with using more than one printable coupon on two of the same products. They wouldn’t allow him to use two internet printable coupons for two of the same product. Don’t know what that is all about.
I recently had a problem with a coupon that was buy a Craisin get free a 100 calorie pack of Craisins. The Craisin’s actually cost less than the 100 calorie pack so the clerk said I could only get the amount that was lowest price off. The computer otherwise wouldn’t accept the coupon. I explained that’s not what the coupon stated. It said buy this specific product and you’d get the other product free. The coupon was worth over $3.00 and the Craisins were $1.98 plus I explained it didn’t matter the cost because Walmart would get their money back plus a handling fee. It was frustrating.
