Walmart Coupon Policy (Printable Coupon Rules)

Walmart Coupon Policy Highlights

These are the most important rules shoppers run into at the register.

• Paper manufacturer coupons only: Coupons must scan with a GS1 barcode and be valid/not expired.
• One paper manufacturer coupon per item (in-store purchases).
• Limit of 4 identical coupons per household, per day (unless the coupon states otherwise).
• No coupon overage: If the coupon value exceeds the item price, excess value is not applied and no cash back is given.
• Item must match exactly: Brand/size/quantity/flavor, etc. Unmatched coupons can be denied.
• No competitor/retailer coupons and no double or triple coupons.
• No mobile “screen” coupons: Manufacturer coupons aren’t accepted on digital devices (scanned from a phone).
• Not allowed: expired, copied/altered, transferred, bought/sold coupons; vouchers/gift certificates; coupons on prepaid products/gift cards.

Does Walmart Accept Printable Coupons?

Yes—Walmart accepts valid internet print-at-home manufacturer coupons that scan with a GS1 barcode and aren’t expired. Printables can be refused if they’re blurry, out of proportion, don’t scan properly, or appear altered.

Common reasons a printable gets rejected

BOGO Coupons at Walmart

• Walmart accepts dollars/cents off coupons and BOGO manufacturer coupons.
• BOGO limits: You generally can’t use two BOGO manufacturer coupons to make two items free; one BOGO coupon typically requires two qualifying items (one full price, second discounted by its full retail price), unless the coupon states otherwise.
• Walmart does not accept BOGO manufacturer coupons that are written as a percentage off the second item (example: 50% off the 2nd item).

Returns When You Used Coupons

• Refunds generally do not include the value of manufacturer coupons used on the original purchase.
• Coupons are not returned to you when merchandise is returned.
• Walmart reserves the right to decline returns for items purchased with manufacturer coupons.
