Is anyone a member of MyPoints? I realyl like how they have the coupons that you can print out and you get points for using them. Well I went grocery shopping last night and I had all these coupons from Mypoints. When I get to the checkout the clerk tells me they don't accept internet coupons!! WTFN! It's still a coupon with a bar code and everything. I was really jacked off cause I had a budget and ended up going over by $20. It wouldn't have been so bad if I could have used the coupons. I used a coupon at CVS before for some skin lotion and they accepted it. I will probably not do my grocery shopping there anymore just for this reason.

Yes I like myPoints a lot, too. I've been a member since 1998. Well, we had that problem, too. Some grocery stores don't accept those coupons. However the point of the internet coupons is to include the bar code that can be scanned :). I don't use their coupons because I usually don't have the time to scan through them all. Plus I don't feel like installing the plug-in to get the coupons.

I have a MyPoints account and love the coupons opportunity. Some stores don't accept printed coupons because of the increase in fraud. I know it stinks but that's what happens when some people take advantage of a good opportunity. Check out this article about how to take full advantage of the MyPoints program...

You can try and find another store. I haven't had my coupons declined by a store yet and I shop at Kroger, Walmart, and Ingles. Good luck with your MyPoints!
