Albertsons Coupon Policy and FAQ

Here is Albertsons official coupon policy, as of July 2009.   This is for stores in the Colorado Springs region, and may also include other stores in Colorado:

The Albertsons Corporate policy states the following:

• Valid coupons are accepted if the customer has purchased the necessary merchandise.
• Coupons must be redeemed at the time of purchase of the specific product. Coupons may not be redeemed after the transaction has completed.
• Expired coupons are not accepted.
• Coupons cannot be converted to cash under any circumstances.

Internet Coupons:   Internet coupons printed from an authorized website must clearly state Internet Coupon on the top, valid internet coupons are redeemable only with a qualifying purchase.

Albertsons does NOT accept internet coupons containing the following conditions:

• Free product offers that do not require a purchase
• Redemption value exceeds $5.00
• Absence of valid UPC bar code

Manufacturer coupons may not be copied or reproduced in any way and must meet the following conditions:

• Manufacturer terms and agreement must be on coupon
• Face value of coupon must be stated
• Coupon must have expiration date
• Coupon must be identified as a Manufacturer Coupon
• Must contain bar code that can be scanned
• Eligible manufacturer coupons are intended for one time use and cannot be redeemed more than once.

Reminder:

Albertsons reserves the right to refuse any coupon(s) that does not meet our company guidelines.   We do not accept fraudulently produced coupon offers including those altered or produced through use of a personal computer or copier.

Most internet sites will print a time and date stamp on the coupons, and limit each ISP address to two coupons total. If multiple coupons   have the same time and date stamp this could be an indicator the coupon was photocopied, and should not be accepted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact customer care at 1-877-932-7948 or via email (albertsonscustomercare@albertsons.com).

Albertsons doubles coupons periodically. Look in the weekly ad, and it should state whether or not they’re doing it. When they do, here’s how it usually works:

• Coupons worth 25 ¢ are quadrupled to $1.00
• Coupons worth 33 ¢ are tripled to $1.00
• Coupons worth 50-99 ¢ are doubled to $1.00
• Coupons worth $1.00 or more are redeemed at face value.

Albertsons sometimes puts out in-ad coupons. According to corporate, these cannot be used in conjunction with manufacturer’s coupons.

Albertsons occasionally puts out purchase coupons like $10 of your purchase of $100 or more. According to the verbage on the coupon, the purchase requirement is met only after ALL discounts and manufacturer’s coupons have been applied.

Albertsons does not have a store card that is required to receive discounts.

Bring your own bags to receive a 5 ¢ per bag discount.
