[Perimeter Perusing at Target (Target Clearance Deals) - 2012]

Was it the blonde guy? He was working GS this morning at open. I haven't had any problems, and I seriously doubt it is policy. Occasionally you get an employee that heard something but doesn't understand the real policy. I'd certainly try again at one of the other stores if not the same one.

Yes!! It was the blonde guy. I went there late morning. There was another customer behind me in line too that he was telling this "policy" too. There are definitely other stores I can go to. Thanks.

I went to the East Pasadena, CA Target location today to return a toy that I bought with a manufacturer's coupon since my nephew didn't like the toy. At customer service, I was told that I will no longer be able to return an item if I had used a coupon to purchase it because of the rampant coupon fraud. Apparently, a lot of people were using coupons to buy items and then return the items to get the full value since Target doesn't adjust your refund amount by the coupon amount. And because of this, returns will no longer apply to any items purchased with a coupon. I said that this is ridiculous and that Wal-Mart doesn't have any problems with adjusting the coupon amount, if Target is so concerned with this type of fraud. Has anyone else encountered this? The employee said this policy was effective Jan 1st., but I haven't read this anywhere else.

No, it isn't new. But it only applies to holiday merchandise. If you are returning regular clearance, you get your receipt price back. You should try it with something just to see. It is applied very consistently through all the stores in the Valleys and over as far as the Ontario area and along the I-10 corridor. Those are the stores I frequent.

My sister today returned christmas paper bags and tissue paper that she had purchased at 50% off on 12/26 and received back the money she had paid with her receipt. Right now those items are at 75%. This was the Pasadena, CA location near Lake/Colorado.
