Walmart’s Coupon Policy

You can find a PDF copy of Walmart’s coupon policy here.

Walmart accepts all manufacturer coupons with the exception of some printable coupons for items that are sold at Walmart.  The item must match the coupon (in size, quantity, brand, etc).  You can only use one coupon per item.

If coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the excess may be given to the customer as cash or applied toward the basket purchase.  SNAP or WIC purchases are ineligible for cash back but overage can be applied toward the rest of the basket purchase.

Walmart accepts BOGO coupons but you cannot use another coupon on the item you are “buying” like you can at some other stores.

There is no limit to the number of coupons per transaction but the following situations will require supervisor verification:

• 40 coupons per transaction
• A coupon or $20 or greater on one item
• $50 or more in coupons in one transaction

Walmart DOES NOT accept printable coupons for FREE items or BOGO printable coupons without a specified price.

Walmart accepts some catalina coupons (coupons printed at the registers at competitors’ stores).  These must have “Manufacturer Coupon” printed on them and must be for dollars/cents off specific items.  For example, a catalina coupon $1/1 Charmin would be accepted but a catalina for $2 off your purchase or 20% off an item or purchase will not be accepted.

Register Rewards from Walgreens are NOT accepted because they are for dollars/cents off your purchase, not a specific item.

Walmart will also accept store coupons with a specified price.  This is actually done like a price match.  They will NOT accept a store coupon for dollars/cents off an item or a percentage off an item.

Price Matching

Walmart also price matches local competitors’ ads.  You CAN use coupons on items that you are price matching.

You can find Walmart’ price matching policy here.

We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:

• Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price
  • Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO)
• Competitors’ ads that feature a specific item for a specified price.
• Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad.
• For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each)

The following are guidelines and limitations:

• We will match any local competitor’s advertised price.
• We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor’s ad.
• Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.)

We DO NOT match the price in the following types of competitor ads:

• Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price
  • example: “Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C”
• Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product
  • example: “Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free”
• Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card
  • example: “Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card
• Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given
• Going out of business or closeout prices
• Percentage off
  • example: “All mascara, 40% off”
• Competitors’ private label price promotions

We do not honor:

• Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined.
• Internet pricing
• Misprinted ad prices of other retailers
• “Going out of business” sales or “close out” prices
