In light of all the people having issues with some coupons doubling and others not, I went on a Google search. The following is the closest thing I can find for the
"Official Shaw's Coupon Policy". I personally have only encountered one cashier who manually "undoubled" coupons.
Well anyways, here is the best "Shaw's Coupon Policy" I could find on the internet. I grabbed it off of
Hot Coupon World, by clicking
HERE. This is a post from HeyaHeather (thanks Heather for posting back in June of 2008!):
I have asked to get clarification of Shaw’s Corporate Coupon Policy again. The following is the response that I got from a Customer Care Representative. I asked a great deal more questions than I did last year, so that I could get down to the nitty gritty. If you have any further questions or concerns, you should contact Shaw's customer service center at 1-877-932-7948. I personally have found that I get a better response by going through their website.
