Me too, Jessica. I’ve added both cellfire and shortcuts coupons to my rewards card and only the cellfire coupons were deducted at Kroger. I had a few that were duplicates (one from cellfire and the other from shortcuts) and wanted to see if both would be deducted but it looked as though only the cellfire discounts appeared on my receipt. I went to customer service to find out how it works and no one knew what I was talking about. Very frustrating…when a store signs up to accept these discounts they should at least train the employees on how the program works. I’m going to try again today at a different Kroger location and see what happens. I know you can combine the electronic coupons with paper coupons and the weekly specials and I have gotten a few items free by doing so.

After signing up and checking this out, I find that most are more for convenience type foods, which I don’t use, and not a whole lot of coupons, but there are a couple there I could use maybe. To add a 2nd reward card, after you are done with the registration process, go back and edit the card section on your profile.

WoW! Finally something I can use in my little town!
I will definitely be checking this out for my Safeway card, and tying Diana’s suggestion and calling to see if my Freddies will take the Kroger coupons. Those are the ONLY 2 stores within 50 miles of me !!!

For the Northwesterners, you may want to check further. If you don’t already know, Fred Myer has long been a Kroger store. Call the manager and ask if they will honor Kroger discounts.

I have a Borders Rewards Card (free to sign up) and get coupons through email constantly. Sometimes I forget to print them out and use them at the store. A sales clerk explained to me that I don’t ever have to print out the coupons for their store as long as I have my rewards card with me (which I always do).

I’m not sure if other stores with rewards cards are similar, but it might be something to check on if you are rewards card members for other stores.

I don’t use Cellfire, Shortcuts, or P&G Easysavers very often, since I don’t usually shop at Kroger (which is where they are accepted – at least in my area).

But I do use the Upromise ECoupons, since they help me save for my boys’ college fund and can be linked to my Meijer and CVS cards. They release new coupons each month…here’s some info about the coupons for June – http://www.centsablemomma.com/2009/06/new-ecoupons-at-upromise-june.html

Thanks for the tip– I will check it out. Many stores around me won’t honor internet coupons, but if it is loaded on the rewards card . . . how can they refuse?

A question that some of you may know the answer to:
What happens if you find a better, paper coupon in the store. Can you use that one instead?
