Festival Internet Coupon Policy (Clarification)

After reading Festival's internet coupon policy yesterday, I left the following comment on their blog:

I did just want to clarify that you meant you do not accept “free product” coupons from the internet. You will still accept “free product” coupons from the newspaper or direct mailings, correct?


And here is the comment I got in reply:

Great question. Yes, we do accept legitimate “free product” coupons that are pre-printed and sent via postal mail or published in a media source such as the newspaper. “Free Product” coupons from these sources are typically printed double-sided and/or on security paper which helps to validate a coupons authenticity.

Just in case there was any confusion that clears it up! Thankfully, there are not very many internet "free product" coupons.

As a friendly reminder... always do your best to only use legitimate coupons. Using fraudulent coupons could ruin the deals for everyone, especially at the smaller, local stores that can't absorb fraudulent coupon use like a larger, national chain.

If you ever wonder about an internet coupon you can go to the CIC Website and check their list of known counterfeit coupons.
