[@lukenator115]

I hate coupons because if they didn't exist things would just... Be cheaper. Companies still profit from coupons, the coupons are a sales tactic to get people to shop with you. If they weren't allowed to do it then they wouldn't need to raise prices to cover coupon costs.

[@MegaLokopo]

@@lukenator115 If coupons didn't exist, prices for coupon users would go up, but prices for non coupon users would barely go down. They wouldn't go down far enough for you to notice. Coupons take 1 cent from 5 people to give a 5 cent discount to 1 person. Not those exact numbers but that is how coupons work. Banning coupons would have almost no effect on prices for those that don't use them.

My favorite “loophole” story was where a guy forgot his cash as home and paid for traveler checks using his airline points credit card. He realized even if he cashed in the checks and paid off the card he still had the points. He took his family on several international trips before credit card companies caught on and changed their policies. You can’t do that anymore.

[@EVRYTNGUFEAR]

My favorite version of that was the presidential dollar coins. People would: 1. Buy hundreds (or thousands) of dollars worth of these coins direct from the treasury on their credit cards 2. Change them for cash at the bank 3. Use the cash to pay off their credit cards. 4. Use the points to pay for flights and hotels. It got so bad that The Fed supposedly had almost $2 billion worth of coins sitting in a warehouse.

[@eliwilson3902]

I sometimes charge expenses for work to my credit card, get reimbursed for it and keep the points. But this isn't thousands of dollars it's usually like 50 to 100 here and there. It's still free money basically but it's not as crazy as what some people pull.

This story is based on many real-life stories where people game the coupon system that expects people to use the coupons sparingly and not collaboratively. So the happy ending of this movie is not farfetched that these perpetrators basically get away on a technicality.

[@R-Lee-]

The part I don't get is at the stores complained that too many people were using these coupons and that they were losing money. They're not store coupons they're manufacturer coupons. It's the manufacturers that would be losing money so that part doesn't make any sense to me.

[@jasonluong3862]

@@R-Lee- Well, the manufacturers receive the redeemed coupons from the shoppers sent to them by the stores. The manufacturers would then reimburse the stores. It is true that ultimately the manufacturers are the ones losing the money, so they are not happy when the stores send them more coupons for reimbursement than expected. The manufacturers may suspect that the stores themselves are scamming them as well by artificially submitting the coupons. The manufacturers are the ones who notify the fraud investigators to see why there are excessive redeems. The manufacturers outsource the coupon printing to a third party, so the investigators also check on the coupon printers as well to see if there is some collusion between all parties involved. The point is the manufacturers statistically expect how many coupons are actually redeemed, so when the actual redeemed coupons exceed this threshold on a persistent basis, they get suspicious. The moral of the story is white-collar crimes like this are usually discovered when the perpetrators get greedy. If they don't, their crimes would fly under the radar.

In Australia our coupons suck.

[@J0seph_Mother]

The part about the companies trying to make this look like a worst deal then it really is is actually true. There was an Australian who found a loophole with a bank atm (I believe it was NAB) that allowed him to add money into his bank account which could be used until the next day when the banks reset their systems and updated his balance. Once he was caught he spent like a year waiting to be arrested but never did, thinking the police where investigating and he would be caught eventually he decided to turn himself in to a reporter to get his story out which lead to his arrest. Turns out if he said nothing the bank wouldn't of done anything because they don't want the public knowing about the glitch loosing them millions of dollars. His name is Dan Saunders, it's a really interesting story worth looking into

[@Asian_rom-coms_keep_me_sane]

@@OutyMan No, it was actually very real. In 93 when I had my eldest daughter I became (out of necessity) a serious couponer. Back then coupons didn't yet have the 'no cash value' on them, that came in after the Inet began and coupon scamming became far more prolific. Even far back as the 70s when I grew up up till the mid 90s stores used to even have days where coupons were worth 2 to 3x the value of the amount printed on them, so getting cash back - along with free groceries - was pretty easy. Not once but many times I would hit the stores on Triple Value days and get all my groceries free and got up to 20+ dollars back in cash. It wasn't scamming or illegal, the stores themselves promoted the days so anyone who had the time to clip the coupons did so without hesitation. It was the upgrading of Inet and ease of creating websites that people got too greedy and it killed the entire concept sadly, coupled with massive inflation by the late 90s that companies and stores finally put paid to the whole thing. Now you're lucky to see anyone of the younger generation use even a single coupon, though we older folks still do - well I do anyway though now it's mostly digital coupons or cut out from the adverts I get free in the weekly "junk mail" flyers. It's not worth paying the fortune newspapers want to charge for a Sunday paper just for the few paper coupons, and now most of the paper ones aren't even for food items - it's mostly hair/body care products or other expensively priced items I never use. The only place I know of that you can still use both their own store and manufacturer coupons together is BJs ... the rest like Publix and Winn-Dixie will only take either their own store coupons or manufacturer ones (not both you have to choose 1). All I can say is thank God for the weekly BOGOs - that combined with coupons is almost comparable to the old days, just without the cash back. Ah well ... in this even worse inflated economy than the 90s was something saved is still better something than nothing right? :P

[@OutyMan]

@@Asian_rom-coms_keep_me_sane - Real 30 years ago, some place. Well, that totally validates the comment. Coupons have had the "not redeemable for cash" on them well before the 90's.

What's sad is when legit small business owners like myself who promptly file their taxes and follow the proper business owner laws still get audited by the IRS. For the 1st time in over 30 yrs of filing and paying my taxes I got audited last year - for the taxes I filed in 2019. I had to actually prove myself for the paltry 12K I made that year. Wish the gov't would be more vigilante about catching the scammers that cost us tax payers billions each year than we who actually pay our due taxes for the small amount we make legally - sadly I think it'll be a pipe dream though. :(

[@DrTLEvans]

I started couponing during the dissertation phase of my program. I hated shopping up to that point. However, I needed an escape and loved the intrinsic rewards from saving. Intrinsic rewards I wasn’t receiving from my doctoral journey. It turned from a coping mechanism to me hoarding and running out of space because I wasn’t selling much and I switched to clearance shopping and arbitrage reselling. COVID changed things. I made care packages and donated a lot of supplies to the elderly and college students on my daughter’s campus. It took three trips from my car to bring in all of the baby supplies I purchased on clearance for my friend for her shower. I priced her haul at $700. It ended up costing me $0 after I sold the extras. Couponing has gotten so complicated now because of scams like this. It’s too much to keep up when the policies varies from store to store. My kids complained about me couponing back then. Now, they want me to start again so I will buy groceries lol. Nope. Y’all are grown. I don’t have the patience for it. Handle it!

But then let's see if see somehow find a decent job, we need to see from another view too, right? In this second scenario she find a decent paying job so now she is able to fulfil her & her child daily needs, sure there'll be some struggle but they could make it somehow. Yet don't forget that the FBI already set an eye to her because as we know once you caught in crossfire with the fed you can't really get out of it. She'll be under surveilance almost all the time & if she somehow manage to earn some big money the fed will be alarmed & she has to be put under some custody since they wont want to risk it (don't be mad that's just how the system works). Sure the FBI have somewhat limited manpower & not an omniscience present but with automated system they could be alarmed by any abnormal occurrences. Also, sooner or later people around her will know who is she or what she had done. Their reaction might vary but we can generally separate them into 3 main category, such as: 1) Neutral, doesn't care too much since we all need to make money for life. This might also ended up in a tight circle of helpful colleagues (This, in my friend favorite word, is the best neutral good ending) 2) Reject/shun her since people tend to believe someone who already done some scamming actin (but her action before is hardly count as scam so....) might ended up done the same in the future thus they wont believe in/mingle with her all the time. On the extreme side they might also bully her but this one's likely hood to happen is relatively low since she wasn't directly harm someone (but if you count the malls & convenient store owner it might be drastically different). This occurrence will mainly burdened her mentality but still burden nonetheless. 3) The people who will ask her to tell the tips & trick even want to study under her (Believe or not, I'm will fall into this one) which in the long run even if she choose to avoid this group she'll be, in the end, lean toward doing it again. When people around her push her to share the tips & tricks either she'll share it or not she still have to remember/go through the memories of doing it that sooner or later could tempt her to do it again just like an addiction would.

Actually it can be done. I recall years ago I read somewhere that when Aaliyah perished in that tragic plane crash, for a short (and I mean VERY short) amount of time some photos of her burnt body were on the Net - then within like an hour or two they vanished. I assume her PR firm had a major hand in it and had very good connections to get them removed, but it wasn't the 1st time I've heard of such things happening. Then again think about this - how many videos even here on youtube vanish after a while? Or disappear due to the all-knowing "copyright laws"? Or whatever else removes them ... and no not even the WBM has them so no, not unrealistic at all I'd say - especially for a top hacker. That's just a day at the office for them no doubt!

used to be into trying to use coupons for everything but slowly over time stores started rejected more and more of them. eventually it just stopped being worth it to spend the time cutting them out of newspapers and magazines. i've always puzzled over how they could legally publish coupons that aren't going to be accepted by anyone, but it is what is. eventually i just stopped even paying attention to coupons. if it's priced higher than I find reasonable, I don't buy it. more people should do that, it takes no time, saves tons of money.

Couponers got so bad where I live that the local kroger put a policy in place that if you were using more than 25 coupons, you would be asked to go to the back of the line and wait until all other customers have been cleared. It didn't last long, sadly... but it was fun to watch some of those guys holding up the line for half an hour being made to wait that long or longer. As someone who usually shops right before or after work, due to living outside of town... I don't like long checkout lines.

It's kinda funny you don't realize that the policy was bullshit and only trying to embarrass people for trying to save money legally. I thought people only did petty things like that in backwards 3rd world countries like mine, but thanks for confirming humans are universally POS. I worked at a hotel and they'd give employees free stays, but anytime an employee redeemed those "staycations" the staff at work that day pretended like they weren't real guests.

I once met someone who found a loophole where if you buy two you get one free. He would buy 3 boxes and get 1 box for free, then resell the 3 boxes at a slightly higher price based on demand and would sell the 1 free box at full price. He did this for months and made over 300 thousand dollars doing this. Eventually the manufacture of the product he was selling realized something was off because every 3 boxes being sold, one box was a lost. They traced the lost back to account which had a fake manufacture name and website advertising their products. Rather than investing thousands of dollar into this fake manufacture and who was behind it, the manufacture discontinued their deal and emailed him a warning to cease and desist or face criminal and legal liability. Although the loophole was completely legal his business was questionable so he complied not wanting to face legal or prison time for his sort success. They eventually brought deal back but you can longer buy in bulks.

The crazy thing is, and this happens all the time in real life every time people discover exploits like this, if they had simply decided to abuse the trick PERSONALLY instead of selling it, then they would literally have free groceries for years, if not life. The same thing happened with Safeway gas bars here in Canada, which had predictable codes on their discount per litre coupon printouts, meaning if you knew how the code was structured, you could consistently get 15 or even 30 cents off a litre every time (and prices were around $1.20-$1.30 at the time). But, of course, a bunch of people discovered it and leaked it until it got so widespread that they fixed it, ruining it for everyone.

@@worldofdoom995 Coupons that give $10 or $20 off usually has a clause that say minimum spend of $100.. which translate to 10% off also.. so it's not possible to collect 10 x $10 coupons to get a $100 item for free.. also consumers here tend to forget to carry the physical coupons cutout with them.. so stores usually just tend to give discounts rather than coupons.. so it applys to all customers so there is rarely a need to look for and cut out coupons.
