I used the coupon today with NO PROBLEM..............
I hear what the other poster is saying, but I find it hard to believe that you could get away with not honoring...........let's just say they chose to honor it because they had no choice.
Companies send their ads to print houses to be printed. Mistakes happen. Companies reserve the right to refuse to honor mistakes printed in their ads, in their emailed ads, etc etc etc. Seriously, have you never gone into a store that had ad corrections posted around the store? 
I understand all of that ...............mistakes are made at the "printing house". However, I am sure there are checks and balances before being "sent" out............someone "approves" the proof.......right? ..........that's all I am saying.............. You don't send something OUT and then say sorry, it was a mistake. Well again, no matter how you view .......... they honored the coupon and we all got 40% off the ENTIRE purchase.......... and I am grateful............every little bit helps............
Friend, you can go to virtually any e-tailer's website and read their policy on pricing mistakes. Believe what you want about "checks and balances" and "approving proofs" but it doesn't change the fact that in the US, companies are not legally bound to honor price mistakes in their printed, emailed, or online ads.
You simply lucked out. Don't expect it to be that way every time you happen upon a misprinted ad or recalled email ad. Companies have the right to protect themselves from losses resulting from printing errors.

I haven't had a chance to use the 40% off entire purchase coupon, but let me say that when I recieve a coupon and spend a good chunk of time in the store selecting items, only to be embarrassed at the checkout when the store tells me the coupon was a mistake....you better believe I'm going to make them honor their coupon!
Bottom line....it's not my fault, nor is it my problem. Of course, if they sent out a 90% off entire purchase coupon, I would check on it first, but I wouldn't suspect that the current 40% off coupon circulating to be a mistake. (I would only get excited, because it's the most off of a total purchase that I have ever seen them offer!)
Now, knowing that the coupon was a mistake, I'm likely to ask first if it's being accepted before I start all my shopping, but otherwise, Michael's has a legal team and advertising team, along with editors. They surely have the ability to proofread.
Just my thoughts.

Has anyone had problems using this coupon or is Michael's taking it without questions?????
Yeah by law they have to honor it. But they are whining like babies about it and its good till August 30th so I say print away.
They don't have to "By Law" honor anything. I worked there for 4+ years, there is nothing wrong with this coupon so they should. It's a management decision to say, "we dont honor printed ad's" but that's a store by store thing.

I live in the kansas city area and the Joann's here will take all of their own coupons at one time if the bar codes are different, they also will take Michael's or Hobby lobby, coupon.
The Michael's will take Hobby Lobby or Joann's coupons as long as they are not off the internet.
But Michael's will only honor one coupon at a time. Same as hobby lobby, but some of the clerks at Hobby Lobby will give you back the coupon. Also if it is the week H.B dosen't have a coupon, just mention that Michael's or Joann's do and they will usually give you the 40 percent off one item.
when I get the coupon via this link it just says 40% off one regular price item not the whole order. They must have smartened up.

It's not the link from the original post. Go down a few on the first page of this forum.
Thanks so much for sharing these coupons! My paper did not have the Michaels ad in it for some reason. Wasn't there two weeks ago either. I use the Hobby Lobby ones all the time. I take my 10 year old daughter with me and she uses one while I use another. I give her money to buy her item and they let us do that all the time. Gotta save where you can!
Last night I printed out the 40% off everything coupon from the 1st page, and used it today. Got $110 worth of stuff for about $60!!! SO HAPPY!
BUT...she rang up all my items, and when I handed her the coupon she went "ooooh. I have to do this all over again." 
See, usually with their coupons, you get rung up and they scan the coupon and the system does its thing. Because this coupon was incorrect, the system won't just calculate 40% off your grand total. The cashier has to ring each item separately and then manually take 40% off. She wasn't mad at me, she was just happy that there's only one more day to go before they expire!
Happy shopping!
I haven't had a chance to get to Michaels' yet, but I am definitely going tomorrow before the coupon expires. I called Customer Service today to see for myself it they are still accepting the coupon, and they are. The woman I spoke with said if I have any problem in the store, just call back while I'm there. She said that Customer Service is available tomorrow (Saturday).
Happy Shopping!!!

Thanks for posting it!! 
I can go shopping tomorrow whoo hoo!!!!
Thank you for posting. We used it the other day and I plan to use another one tomorrow. The other day I had about $40.00 in stuff and they tried ringing me up with 1 item 40% off! We had to argue w/ the lady and she called her manager and she said it was okay.
She gave us some song and dance about how Michaels sent these out by mistake!
Ok, I used mine today! I bought every single bag of black candy melts that they had! I hate coloring chocolate black for transfers. LOL

I tried to used mine today also and it came up to $8.80 off for a purchase of $75.81 
...I told the girl to double check because the 40% off should've been around $30.00...simple math...she kept saying $8.80 was all I was getting off... I thought about just leaving the store, but a manager came up and rang everything again (for the 4th time) 
... and he said maybe all the stuff I picked was on sale and the coupon was taking the % off one item...I said NO, nothing was on sale, he finally cancelled the order, rang everything again and called another manager at another store who told him how to do it...I finally got the 40% off my entire purchase...
The manager ended up apologizing 20 times and I ended up apologizing 40 times...the store was packed!!!
The whole issue was very upsetting, but I spent two hours shopping for good stuff to get the discount and going home with nothing was not a option since I know I was going there next day to buy more stuff...I go to Michaels at least twice a week!

We must have been at the same store!! When I asked the cashier if they would honour it she said we're supposed to if the customer complains enough. I said consider me upset and complaining 
. She rang up my total and it came to $55 and change. She looked at the bill and realized that only $8.80 had been taken off too. It took several attempt by her and then the manager to get it taken care of. I felt so bad for the folks behind me! In the end she had me redo it and I payed $37 and change instead but then I realized that they didnt' give me a refund/void copy of the original. I asked her where that was but she said they rang it up and voided the whole thing as if the transaction never happened. I have no proof of this and told her and she said if there is any problems just come back and ask for the manager at this point I asked if I could still have some kind of proof (she then took out the original bill out of the garbage and handed it to me). Knowing my luck I'll have both the amounts come out of my account!
Cakegirl I hear you. I wish mine were closer but maybe that is a good thing. WHy do they have to act like its coming out of their paychecks? lol
I need another coupon today or tomorrow. Anyone got the hook up?
Do you have an AC Moore in your area? If you do you can go to their website and print off their coupons. I know that the Michael's I go to accepts them. If you do have an AC Moore maybe you can call your Michael's first and make sure they will take the AC Moore coupons?
Thanx for trying. But I still get a blank page.
Hi Jasmine33,
Sorry you couldn't open the file. I'm assuming that you are unable to open .pdf files maybe your browser doesn't support it or something? Not sure, just taking some guesses here. Anyway, I did a screen shot and saved it as a word document, hopefully you can see it this time!
Sorry, it seems that we are not allowed to attach .doc documents. If you like I can try pm'ing to you (I don't know if that would also give the same error) or I can email it to you.
Thanx you are a sweetie! I wouldn't care so much but my dh wants me to pick up that $140.00 decorating set at Michaels tomorrow and I am NOT paying full price! haha
My email addy is [email protected]
He is the computer genius. If he was awake I would tell him to figure it out! lol
