I went to Michaels today to use my Hobby Lobby coupon. I walked in and asked the cashier could I use my coupon and she said yes with a smile. Later, after filling my bucket full of cool stuff that Hobby Lobby doesn't have, the manager told me I could not use the internet coupon, I had to have the coupon from the newspaper. She said it asif she owned the store. I just can't stand people like that!!! What's the difference? I was so mad, I will never shop at that particular Michaels again. Have this ever happened to anyone?

Michael's will accept any coupon EXCEPT the ones from the internet. It has happened to several people here. So sorry you had a bad experience...she probably assumed it was a 40% off one item from the paper.

Most stores don't seem to accept internet coupons anymore. I don't know why the internet even offers them. Most stores are afraid of copycats.

I'm sorry about that. Really sucks!

I'm lucky enough to be at a store that allows them. 6 of my students used them this week.

Yes! This totally made me mad too! I don't even get the paper, so it REALLY made me mad.

Lucky you whose stores still take them. They told me it's from coorperate and none of the stores should be taking them anymore.

Don't they know they are losing a lot of business over this?

If you are near Joann Fabrics they will take the internet ones! I have used them there several times.

The Michaels by me accepts the coupons I get from Hobby Lobby thru emails. But only 1 per day.

There must be something in the air today. I went to Michael's today and forgot my 40% off coupon. No biggie, if you tell them you forgot it they will still honor it. Or they did. The girl that ws new ( I know because I am in there at least 5 times a week) was like " That is just too bad. I can't give it to you". Then I go to Sam's to get some cake boxes and cake boards and the woman in the bakery tells me she can't sell them to me. I told her I had bought them there before and she tells me she is too busy to argue and walks away. What is with people!

On the subject of coupons though. Hobby Lobby by me said 1 coupon 1 item per day but another HL further away honored it for multiple items on 1 coupon. My store said corporate sent emails to all their stores saying only 1 and per day. UGH....

The Michael's near me will not accept Internet coupons so I didn't even try this time. I did go to two different Hobby Lobby stores and I got as much Wilton stuff as I wanted at 50% off with a coupon. I stocked up. It was nice to be able to get more than just one item like Michael's does.

I havent' had a problem with Michaels taking the internet coupon but I didn't try the 50% off one there. They always take the 40% at the one by me. I just took my 50% off to the Hobby Lobby I usually go to b/c I know I can by as much Wilton as I like with that. They are nicer there too. I do like Michaels some things and it is a few miles closer. But I am just as happy to use Hobby Lobby. So sorry you had a bad experience, that adds to my feeling that they are just not as friendly there. I wonder why that is.

We have a BIG sign in our break room - making sure the cashiers DO NOT ACCEPT the internet coupons. I would bet the Michaels that do accept them are the exception, not the norm. They are very generous about giving the 40 or 50% off if you don't have your newspaper coupon though. (at least at the one I work at)
