Bloom Triples Rules and Information
This is what I have learned about Bloom's Triples. Please feel free to ad to this list:
1) Bloom excepts and triples IP's (although some select Blooms have given people trouble about this)
2) Bloom will triple 20 coupons per day. So far, as long as you close out one transaction, you can still do another transaction with the same card on the same day and still get your coupons to triple, as long as your store allows you to do that. I usually just ask and noone has turned me down yet.
3) They triple coupons with upto a face value of .99
4) Bloom triples upto the product's regular price
Some good things to note:
1) If your coupon's barcode starts with a 5, it will triple even if it says "Do Not Double or Triple". It will NOT triple if it starts with a 9. I had coupons from 2 different stores blinkie machines last time and didn't realize that some started with a 9 and some with a 5, so check your bar codes.
2) Bloom triples upto a products regular price even if the item is on sale. Once Eggo Waffles were on sale for $1.75 and there were .75 coupons. Each box of Eggos gave .50 overages.
How to Shop a Triples Event:
1) Paper clip together all duplicate coupons
2) Pull the coupons you think you may use and put them in a seperate envelope
3) Go through the store coupon by coupon and determine whether you think it is a good buy or not
4) Put the coupons you do not plan to use in another envelope to refile later
5) Triples is overwelming sometimes, try to only shop for bargains during this trip and not for your regular list. If I am not getting a steal, I don't get it.
6) If you are doing seperate transactions, seperate your items in your cart and place the coupons you will use for each transaction in seperate envelopes or paper clips, so you are ready at the register
7) Bring small bills, sometimes your order will come to $1 or under
8) Pay close attention at the register as they scan your coupons. Do not get distracted during this time. It is always better to catch an error now.
