• Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.

We accept the following with Customer Service Supervisor/Management approval:

•  40 or more coupons
•  Any coupon over $20
•  $50 or more in coupons in one transaction

One of the biggest changes with this policy is that Walmart now allows overage. This means that a coupon will be accepted for its full value even if the price of the item is less than the coupon amount. What happens with that overage? Well first, it is used toward any remaining balance on your total purchase, and then toward any applicable taxes. What if there is still overage left after that? Then they hand the overage to you, in cash. This is something to use sparingly and with caution. Abuse of something like this is how it will get taken away. I'd put money on this happening at some point, so enjoy it while it lasts. Unless you absolutely have to take the overage, use it toward an item you need, especially if there is a particular brand that you HAVE to use, and even with coupons it is not the best deal, like Tide. Or use it on other necessitities like milk.
