Here's a great example of why you need to read the fine print. :eek:

I had to read it twice before I noticed the first word... "Excludes"! That HAD to be a typo! :lmao:

I couldn't bring myself read through the entire list of exclusions. I think I'd have to take the coupon to the store, and ask a manager what the coupon could be used on.

And that's their intent, to get you in the store.

Which is why I would elect to waste the store manager's time, much as possible, and probably not purchase anything. :mad:

I get the same type of email from Dick's and Sports Authority once a month.sent them an email to find out what it WAS good for, they responded matter of factly, any thing in the store except the excluded items.

So since this pertains to these companies:

There recently was a group of black (Afro American....WHATEVER) businessmen who bought Toys R Us. After much debate, they decided to rename the business and the name they came up with was "We Be Toys 'N S**t".

As an aside, they will probably offer coupons that you could actually use to towards the purchase of SOMETHING in the store. That BS coupon is truly BS. It isn't like "We Be Toys 'N S**t" doesn't make enough money as it is and can't afford a discount coupon. Any store manager with a small margin of common sense has to cringe when the corporate office, in all of it's collective wisdom, manages to come up with brain child coupons like that one....
