Rowe’s Supermarket Coupon Acceptance
Store Policy

Rowe’s
accepts legitimate printable coupons that consumers receive via retailer and
manufacturer websites and email campaigns, through interactive advertising and
promotions on web publisher sites, and from legitimate online coupon sites. We
recognize that our customers are increasingly turning to the Internet to find
coupons. In an effort to make using printable coupons a positive experience, we
have created these store policies and consumer guidelines to help consumers and
store personnel alike prevent the abuse of these promotions.

Printable Coupons…

• Legitimate
       printable coupons always scan properly at the register and are delivered
       using special software designed to print a properly rendered barcode on
       the coupon. Rowe’s will only accept
       printable coupons that scan properly at checkout.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons will not be for “free” product. It is an industry
       practice not to produce printable coupons for free product.
       Buy-one-get-one-free coupons and other values that have a purchase
       requirement are acceptable. Rowe’s
       will not accept “FREE product” printable coupons.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons will not be for a high value relative to the cost of the
       item. For example, a $2 off coupon will be acceptable for a product that
       normally sells for $4 or more, but a $2 off printable coupon for a product
       that sells for $2.25 is unlikely to be legitimate. Rowe’s will not accept coupons for more than 50% of a product’s
       value.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons have short expiration dates. Some coupons may have
       longer expiration dates, but most expire 30-45 days after you print them. Rowe’s receives information about
       valid printable coupon expiration dates and may reject coupons that have
       altered expiration dates.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons never appear on screen, they are sent directly to the
       printer after clicking on a link in your web browser or email. A
       legitimate coupon is never sent as a graphic or PDF or sent in a Word
       document.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons are never copied, sold, or traded. Coupons are
       “non-transferable” meaning they are void if photocopied or scanned.
       Coupons are never sold and you should not pay for someone’s “time to clip”
       or other service fee. You should always print the coupon yourself directly
       from the website or email that is offering it. Only then can you ensure
       you are printing a legitimate coupon.
       Coupons may be rejected if they appear out of proportion or blurry, or are
       obvious duplicates.


• Legitimate
       printable coupons are printed using the same technology and therefore have
       a standard format, with very specific security features, including a
       unique serial code. Coupons may be
       rejected if they appear to have been altered in any way.
