Title: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on December 30, 2012, 06:30 am
Hi, I'm PurpleLotus!

250+ pages of reviews later, and I've decided to shift my review thread over to the Rumor mill.

I'd like to apologize to everyone who's post counts got nerfed in this moving process, but it was a necessary inconvenience.

My main listing can be found here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/cc294943b1
and my HardCore collection is once again offered here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/baa353a3bc

And my vendor account can be found in my signature.

All of my work is custom made, and is only distributed here on the Silk Road. All of this work is custom for this community only.

Without further delay I would like to announce tonight's additions of new coupons to the original collection. These are free for anyone who has previously purchased this listing, and hopefully it will catch the eye of some new customers too. All of these additions have been made based off my customers suggestions, with the rare exception that I want some shit myself.

This is my obligatory third 'first' post....

Anyways, looking forward to using the new coupons as usual PL. Thanks for all your hard work.

Oh.. I didn't know you were going to add new coupons to the HC collection still. I guess i completely misunderstood you, thanks! I really didn't expect your customer service to be as good as this. Keep up the good work!

Aside from that, can someone explain to me why BMR is so bad? I'm just asking cause i'm relatively new the to black market scene, so i don't know about much of this stuff. Thanks.

Went out today and tried out a few of the coupons at Shaw's. Completely paid for the listing cost in my first run:

2 Axe Body Washes (different flavors or whatever they are)
1 Horizon Organic Milk half gallon
2 Different flavors of Starbucks VIA (super key)
2 4 packs of Red Bull Total Zero. These were on sale for $2 off anyway and so came out to about $1 apiece! Red Bull is super popular at my job, so I think I'm just going to be constantly buying and giving these away.

I also picked up another thing of Red Bull at CVS with no problem.

The only one that didn't work was the iTunes gift cards because Shaw's doesn't take internet coupons for over $5. This was the first coupon she looked at and was the one she handed to the manager. I'm going to try again, giving them at the end of the stack instead of the beginning. Manager had no problem with any of the other coupons though. CVS also doesn't allow discounts on gift cards apparently? I'll try again tomorrow.

Thank you so much PL for these coupons. It's going to help a lot in the coming months.

Phillie Blunt Coupon is uploaded now.

You know how you get the UPC off a box of Phillies? They are hidden behind the customer service counter every place you could go.

"Hi, I'm on a scavenger hunt, and could you help me out by letting me take a picture of that box of Phillies?"

Anyone else think a blunt coupon is worth the Champs time to create?

"Had to test out a few more this evening before a big Sunday Run!  Visited a local Walmart and two local grocery stores which will remain anonymous.

Anyway no real issues to report back! Everything scanned with the exception of one Simply Orange which came up as .01 so the cashier had to manually key in.

Used this evening Dr. Scholls, Tazo Tea, Dove Bar Soap, Bustello, Natures Bounty, Silk, Horizon and of course Simply Orange.

All total saved about $110 this evening."

POSTED ON THE 28TH

"Have been away for a bit and wanted to get back to it!

Just Got Back from a Walmart Trip!  Just a few items!  Pretty successful!  2 Milk, 2 Bustelo, Dove and Eggs only thing that was denied was the Reynolds Wrap which came up with a unmatched item error!  Older cashier was very nice just handed me back and said didn't scan cant take it.

So easy $20.00 savings on needed items!  Will try more tomorrow - Thanks a bunch!  Glad everything is cleared up for you!"

For anyone who is on the fence, and I cannot imagine why you would be, BUY THIS LISTING! First off everything works. Whenever there is an issue, not only are you getting all the coupons, but also PurpleLotus offers the best customer service on the road! If you find an issue he is quick to respond and fix your problem! I cannot speak highly enough as Mr. Lotus.

Thanks for all you have done for our community.

I'm glad ya'll like the new coupons. Can't wait to hear about the trips.

Also, yeah we obviously all still enjoy the HC collection, but since I'm retiring it, there isn't much need to come here and report back on those coupons specifically. I plan to keep up the good work with that collection too so those of us who own it can still have fun, but for the foreseeable future it will no longer be offered here on SR. So as far as this review thread goes.... don't speak about Fight Club. There's a reason it's not sold anymore, and it's not because it wasn't completely awesome. It sure was, and still is.

If anyone has any issue with the HC collection, just shoot me a message and I'll get ti sorted out with you for sure, as always. If anything important ever needs to be announced in regards to that collection, I'll come announce it, but I'd like to keep most of the discussion about listings of mine that are active on this thread.

I'm going to retire that damned Simply OJ coupon too and just pick a new brand of OJ. Not sure why Walmart seems to hate coupons for Simply Orange juice.

Happy New Years! I'll be back in full force after New Years, and will be filling orders on and off until then.

P&G make philly blunts?
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: netipots on December 31, 2012, 01:03 am
Swisher sweets are popular, white owls or dutchs. Philly blunts are not bad either but theres sucha a big selection for blunts. Game - Garcia Vegas are nice and people love them cause they last forever.
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on December 31, 2012, 01:08 am
HAHA no P&G do not make philly blunts... that was an afterthought, forgot to include it, and then was reminded after I finished the upload and was half way fucked up at that point. Fixing it now.

Update: Philly Blunt coupon is now fixed. I normally never make a coupon when I'm loaded, but the Philly Blunt coupon was more of a novelty coupon than a serious one, and I added it last second after the original release last night.

I will be making another release next weekend to pick up the requests that were unfortunately left out due to time constraints. I did forget a hand full of crucial ones that I intended to get in there for sure.

Also I retired the Simply Orange coupon, apparently Walmart just has it blocked or something, no telling... any suggestions on what kind of Orange Juice we want now? For those of you who the Simply coupon always worked for, like myself, go ahead and knock yourself out and keep using it. I just don't want to cause complications for the ones who had trouble with it.

 I have other plans in the works for ways to earn future income without causing the same heat the HC collection drew.


I'm interested in hearing about this.
Thanks for retiring HC.  I was getting jealous because I never had the time to pursue it proper.  For anyone reading I want you to know that I spent 6% on my groceries this week.  You just have to look for the sales and pick stuff up when it's below the coupon value.  And to furthermore emphasize the value of this collection, I might as well have a coupon for pussy because I  now know that coupons are pantie droppers.  I know..I still don't believe it.  Not even benjamin franklin gets this kind of repute with the ladies.  Good God!

Shit dude... if you only knew the half of it. First coupon I ever made got me laid, it was for Trojan condoms HAHA.

Another funny story, my buddy who introduced me to my first "coupon" back in 2010 called me up recently. He knew I became obsessed with them once he introduced it to me. We had not spoken about it for more than a year now, before I started off here, and never spoke of Silk Road at any point. He calls me just to tell me "Hey, you ever hear of Silk Road? They got this dude selling this coupon pack and you might want to go check it out. You would like it."

Funny shit. Well, he is right, I do in fact like it! :-)

Today I printed those most excellent additions out and still had all the old ones as well and took my girl shopping. we used about $90 in coupons but we split up at the register. she took the food, I took the non food. we had success with all but 2 coupons. the covergirl coupon and the axe coupon both didnt go, but are cashiers just typed them in anyway. if you go on Sunday they are so busy they don't want to take the time to get a CSM just for one little coupon. because we split up the transactions and didn't buy anything cheaper than the actual coupons, we didn't even need a CSM. we just checked out, met back up and proceeded to our car with shit eating grins on our faces. This is some of what we got:

kleenex
burts bees
paper plates
makeup
condoms
mouthwash
shampoo
axe detailer
general mills and kashi cereal
pop tarts
toms toothpaste
uncrustables
pizza
soap
lots of cheese
chicken breasts and tysons boneless chicken wings
...and a bunch of other shit that costs a lot

the combined total before coupons for both transactions was $115.81
after coupons: $28.31
we saved over 75%!
here is a tip for all you guys reading this wondering whether you should buy PL's listing: Do it! Do it Now! do you like spending all your hard earned money buying food when you could be using it for more nefarious purposes?

@purplelotus, Thank you for the new additions. I can tell you the new coupons I used: chicken, Toms, dove body wash, general mills, johnsonville, kleenex, uncrustables,and suave

I have a question: I have been under the assumption that if you use a coupon for something that costs less than the value of the coupon, WM wont take it. is this true? cuz my WM only sells the small Annies stuff and the coupon is for more than those little boxes.
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on December 31, 2012, 01:57 am
Last I checked WM will take it, but it only gives you off up to the amount of the product. If you go to Target and use a coupon worth more than the actual item, that shit gets straight credited to the rest of your purchase. It's how I get free beer.

Update: Philly Blunt coupon is now fixed. I normally never make a coupon when I'm loaded, but the Philly Blunt coupon was more of a novelty coupon than a serious one, and I added it last second after the original release last night.

I will be making another release next weekend to pick up the requests that were unfortunately left out due to time constraints. I did forget a hand full of crucial ones that I intended to get in there for sure.

Also I retired the Simply Orange coupon, apparently Walmart just has it blocked or something, no telling... any suggestions on what kind of Orange Juice we want now? For those of you who the Simply coupon always worked for, like myself, go ahead and knock yourself out and keep using it. I just don't want to cause complications for the ones who had trouble with it.

PL

Minute Maid OJ and Dole Juices are great because of variety. National brand sold and its good. Let me know if you need a code.

Last I checked WM will take it, but it only gives you off up to the amount of the product. If you go to Target and use a coupon worth more than the actual item, that shit gets straight credited to the rest of your purchase. It's how I get free beer.

PL my WM takes it and credits it toward the other groceries. They wont turn you down for having a coupon larger than the item. Its just less attention by a potential CSM if you dont.
Not once have I had a CSM to have to approve a coupon for larger than the amount as long as its under 10.00 coupon. They only have to approve the sale over a certain amount and that has never been a problem for me. These coupons are the bomb!

I'll still be using the Simply, its an issue with the GS1, the old style scans fine. And I use it for apple juice. My target at least ALWAYS scans the old style barcode, bless their hearts.
 *clearnet* this is the brand of dried fruits I was thinking of, not Sunsweet. Sunsweet does prunes and stuff. This one does cherries, blueberries, strawberries, all kinds of non-prunes haha. A future addition for this brand would be dope

http://www.mariani.com/products/

And thanks PL, you got a LOT of the additions I really wanted, especially socks.

Wal-Mart SHOULD be giving you overage for your coupons btw, its in their policy. I almost always take in 6 bic pen coupons and buy whatever the cheapest thing is. My store its the crystal pens, each coupon gives me a little over $3 bucks of overage. BONUS - overage at wal-mart will actually pay the tax on your stuff, at Target you will still pay the tax. Just little differences. Target has their xmas candy on clearance right now too. M&ms type stuff is $1.49 a bag. 2x whatever candy you want + a bic pen = FREE candy (overage) I got $20 bucks of candy and a gallon of radiator fluid yesterday for a few bucks.

PL did you ever upload the sodastream coupon that Glitchey made?  I may not be 100% correct in thinking he made it, but thats who I thought did.  I may have just not downloaded it.

Also has anyone had success with the Shell gas card?  If so where did you pick it up at? I have looked around several stores and can't seem to find them.

Yes it is in there.  Just look again, it is at the bottom of the list of #3.

My female friend and I just got back from about a 3 hour shopping trip.  Tried to target 5-7 key items in several stores and each did our own run.  Everything went smoothly - stayed with the major players in the retail industry and one fairly large grocery store chain.  Only problem was the Dr. Scholls at one location which was unable to scan and the Starbucks Ice cream - $5.00 off two - needed to be approved which it was with out incident but still needed that magic key turn. 

Besides that everything went smoothly and I have to say our interest is renewed!  K-Cups are awesome and what a great savings!  We also racked up on Tazo Tea ( love that shit ) , Reyonalds Wrap, Clorax, Dove Soap, Dove Deodorant, Natures Bounty Vitamins ( what a great coupon ) happened to be on sale and really scored big, Bustello Coffee, Horizon Milk, Silk, and Celestial Tea..... Overall $101.00 in coupons  and a total of about $327.26 in products between yesterday and today!

Can't wait for next weekend! Thanks again!

@zeke: its no worries, my main reason at this point is not to confuse the heck out of new readers. There was nothing wrong with the HC collection in the sense that we should be worried, actually I'd say this is a good thing for those of us who own it since now we are the only ones who ever will. Once I can make a few adjustments and iron some things out, we will see me get bold again. I'm simply turning down the heat at the moment. Being suspended and all that scared the crap out of me, I cannot let this thing die now... We have so many more goals to reach here.

If anyone has questions about anything, like why I'm retiring it... PM me. It's not because there is any thing for you to worry about. It's me that's worried and about our future if I let that continue.

Also, kitkat, let me take you to the strip club, we can make it rain bitcoins in that bitch! <3

PL do you generally not want to go over a certain dollar amount saved in the regular edition?  I've noticed most coupons don't go over $10, is that what you try to stay under?  Just wondering so I can knick certain want items off.  One thing I did think about while at the store tonight was board games.  I spend a lot of time with youth and spend tons of board games.  Maybe like $10 off any milton bradley game, Disney Game, Hasbro, Jakks Pacific, Mattel, Nickelodeon, etc...  Maybe a coupon for Lego products also?  I spend usually around $100 a month on various activities for children.

Just wanted to amend my earlier post, I got the $10 off iTunes to work at CVS today.

PL, is there any chance you will consider doing a Goya coupon? They make so many things that are important but also unperishable: beans, olive oil, seasonings, boullion, olives (martinis are important), chopped garlic. I could literally stock most of my entire pantry with one solid Goya coupon.

I would pay for it as a custom job, even.

I'm with you PL, this stuff is addicting. I'm finding myself going to the store twice now when I need to go shopping. First time to do recon and take pics of skus and crap. Then go home and make a few coupons. Then back to the store to use those coupons on the stuff I scoped out earlier.  8) I do start to wonder if people in the stores find it odd I'm taking pictures of the skus!  ;D

Have a party at a friends house tonight and he and I got all the party supplies for maybe 20 people for well under $50.

I've started to make a few toy coupons and when I get them finished and tested will share here. The bigger one is $x off any hasboro game or toy. I've notice 75% of the stuff my girls have wanted is Hasboro, so I figure why the hell not!

Oh, I noticed that PetCo scans the actual databar and not the normal UPC. The Blue dog food coupon worked without a hitch. Cashier scanned item, scanned coupon and then the register said scan item, so he hit the item again and off came the amount! Now I can feed my dog the proper (expensive) food he deserves! lol

Check out walmarts coupon policy and you shouldn't be having a problem with the coupons. I'd get into how I've surpassed Walmart with nearly $600 worth of free stuff with these, but a "great magician never reveals his tricks"  ;)

I had the same thought and I think the truth of it is if you have a smart phone, people just think (if anything at all) that you are using one of those barcode apps. I have also seen a man legit on the phone with his wife, taking pictures of a product and SMS them to her on the phone to make sure it is indeed the correct product.

So I think you are fine. (me too) lol.

Used a hand full of the brand new coupons at WM today with out a problem. Saved over $50, as usual. I'm so fucking spoiled with these things, that I refuse to pay if the savings is not 50% off or more.

Great, now thanks to Purple Lotus, I have another New Years resolution....trying to learn how to pay full price. I just can't see it happening, can anyone else? Just try imaging not using a single coupon for items you've purchased in the past with these coupons. I can't.

If anyone is still questioning the validity of these coupons and the saving to be had that PL is offering (along with the fact he has the best customer service on the Road), just ask anyone here. You'll save more then what the cost of the coupons are on 1 trip to the store.

Post by: purplelotus on January 01, 2013, 09:26 pm
Ok, so I have flip flopped more this week than a politician on an election year, but after talking with others and weighing the pros and cons of each decision...

I have decided not to retire the Hardcore Collection.

The biggest issue I had for not retiring it was not having a place for us to discuss it and also I did still want to continue my work on it in the future, but for awhile there just making disappear seemed like the best idea for maintaining our long term survivability.

In the future I will be making all HC coupons have a different look than any of the original collections, and a different angle as to where we are getting them and who is distributing them to customers (or who it appears is, of course).

In another effort to curve the HC collection from getting out of hand we have decided to significantly raise the price for new buyers moving forward. Not sure what effect this will have on sales, but since we were retiring it completely a day ago, it doesn't really matter much to me about sales right now and I suspect they will pick up once the next set of additions is made.

People were messaging me a bunch and asking if they should be worried about using the HC collection since I was retiring it, and the answer to that is that no, there was no external, outside danger pressuring me to retire it. If that were ever the case I would be extremely open about such a thing.


Anyways, enough about that, it's still available and as a result you can still discuss it here. Also I am removing the iPod coupon, which is now a discontinued model, and as a result of this change the HC collection is now 100% confirmed as working.

I hope everyone is enjoying the new coupons added to the original collection and I hope this new thread lasts us forever.

Happy New Year to everyone,
PurpleLotus

If you bought the original collection prior to 2013, then you can hit me up for a custom order at the 2012 price. I'm not in the business of disappointing those who purchased the original collection and intended to buy the HC collection before these changes were put into effect, going forward these are the prices and no exceptions will be made.
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 02, 2013, 03:37 am
The following changes have been made to the Original Collection:

Reynold's Wrap Aluminum Foil
Nature's Bounty
Nutella

Have all had aesthetic change's made to them to make them more believable in stores.

New coupons now added:

Tropicana Orange Juice
Home Run Inn Pizza
Crest White Strips $20 off
Progresso Soup

The 4 new coupons can be found in file #7.

Shootouts to respected vendors:

I can say from personal experience that the Tropicana coupon goes great with Blueveil's shrooms. It's an amazing experience which is as close to a DMT trip as I've ever experienced, meaning I was in a completely different world for the peak of the trip.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/6b054e104e - Highly recommended, product and customer service is on par with mine any day of the week.

420blindman - still the best pot I've ever smoked and always my go to guy on my buyer account when all I am looking for is a personal stash... His shake/trim deal is also amazing and I've tried it personally, it blows the other top vendors who offer a similar listing out of the water in terms of price and quality. Best option for cooking or just smoking blunts with my Philly coupon.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/bc73c406d1

FarmerBob - Best deal on SR for OZ+ in terms of price:quality. Quality is par with 420blindman, meaning it's top notch! Looks like at the moment he is only offering smaller listings of outdoor, but the price is RIGHT and I can certainly vouch for his customer service and quality of product, though I have not tried his latest outdoor strains.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/d418b308bd

And finally, if you are looking for a quick, easy, and pleasant experience in buying bitcoins, I highly recommend CaptainMal as the absolute best to deal with, a complete pleasure and always on point, accommodating, and quick to have bitcoins in your hands, which is what we all want. SR users are all about instant gratification and we aren't interested in dealing with someone who will make us wait 24 hours or even more as many BTC vendors will do. A+ 100%, would never consider business with another.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/aea18a79c0

 
Doing business with any of these vendors is assured to be as pleasant and rewarding of an experience here on the Road as dealing with me personally. They are without a doubt my favorites and my only regret is they don't have a register capable of accepting coupons.

In COUPON news, I will spend the next two weeks working on HC coupons. I am hoping to have RX back any day now so the two of us can once again work together to create some awesome work. Since I haven't communicated with him, I'm throwing the 2 week # out there, but I think if me and him get on point soon enough we can actually make a really nice set of additions much sooner.

bought a bunch of other stuff too, not only cause it makes it look good in my opinion, but also cause it needed to be bought!

All said and done with full price items minused off the bill. The total WAS (aprox) $140.00......after coupon savings. (aprox $33.00)!!!

Saved well over

!!! $110.00 !!!
in one trip.
B&W Coupons.
Regular computer paper.
No one bats an eye.

This type of thing is totally normal and so are the savings. The cashier even asked "did you print these off the internet?" The shopper told her, yes some of them and some were given to me by a relative; the whole family uses coupons and passes them all around..blah blah blah.

I was told the cashier didn't even care was simply making small talk as the manager had to come over to override the transaction cause of all the savings. The manager had finally came over, never even made eye contact with the people checking out. turned a key hit some buttons removed his key.....and out the door!

Happy New Year PL! and thanks alot!

This type of thing is totally normal and so are the savings. The cashier even asked "did you print these off the internet?" The shopper told her, yes some of them and some were given to me by a relative; the whole family uses coupons and passes them all around..blah blah blah.

I was told the cashier didn't even care was simply making small talk as the manager had to come over to override the transaction cause of all the savings. The manager had finally came over, never even made eye contact with the people checking out. turned a key hit some buttons removed his key.....and out the door!

Happy New Year PL! and thanks alot!

Just checking in! Saw the new updates with the new "4" coupons. Just didn't see the tropicana orange juice in the file 7..

The following changes have been made to the Original Collection:

Reynold's Wrap Aluminum Foil
Nature's Bounty
Nutella

Have all had aesthetic change's made to them to make them more believable in stores.

New coupons now added:

Tropicana Orange Juice
Home Run Inn Pizza
Crest White Strips $20 off
Progresso Soup

The 4 new coupons can be found in file #7.

Shootouts to respected vendors:

I can say from personal experience that the Tropicana coupon goes great with Blueveil's shrooms. It's an amazing experience which is as close to a DMT trip as I've ever experienced, meaning I was in a completely different world for the peak of the trip.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/6b054e104e - Highly recommended, product and customer service is on par with mine any day of the week.

420blindman - still the best pot I've ever smoked and always my go to guy on my buyer account when all I am looking for is a personal stash... His shake/trim deal is also amazing and I've tried it personally, it blows the other top vendors who offer a similar listing out of the water in terms of price and quality. Best option for cooking or just smoking blunts with my Philly coupon.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/bc73c406d1

FarmerBob - Best deal on SR for OZ+ in terms of price:quality. Quality is par with 420blindman, meaning it's top notch! Looks like at the moment he is only offering smaller listings of outdoor, but the price is RIGHT and I can certainly vouch for his customer service and quality of product, though I have not tried his latest outdoor strains.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/d418b308bd

And finally, if you are looking for a quick, easy, and pleasant experience in buying bitcoins, I highly recommend CaptainMal as the absolute best to deal with, a complete pleasure and always on point, accommodating, and quick to have bitcoins in your hands, which is what we all want. SR users are all about instant gratification and we aren't interested in dealing with someone who will make us wait 24 hours or even more as many BTC vendors will do. A+ 100%, would never consider business with another.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/aea18a79c0

 
Doing business with any of these vendors is assured to be as pleasant and rewarding of an experience here on the Road as dealing with me personally. They are without a doubt my favorites and my only regret is they don't have a register capable of accepting coupons.

In COUPON news, I will spend the next two weeks working on HC coupons. I am hoping to have RX back any day now so the two of us can once again work together to create some awesome work. Since I haven't communicated with him, I'm throwing the 2 week # out there, but I think if me and him get on point soon enough we can actually make a really nice set of additions much sooner.

Yes Stylez, plenty have tried, and several have succeeded. If anyone who had success wants to share with Stylez, please do.

BB was a no go for me I would really like to know where others have had success


I finally had true success with HC collection.  My first success was with playstation network $50 card, worked great. I kept the card for about half a day before trying to use it. When I did try it said that the code was no longer valid or there was a problem.  I just happen to have some of the visa gcc with me on my way to a party and decided to give it a shot.  I got 3 $50 gc using the 40 off!! needless to say I was late to my party cause I had to use them asap. PL is the man!!

This is odd because that's not even long enough for the coupon to have been found as fake. Are you sure it wasn't user error or that the cashier actually activated it? Call to see if it has a balance?

Yes, they both worked just fine for me yesterday. I didn't use them at Target though, I used one of the HC coupons at Target yesterday and it was also flawless.

Did you have any success with other coupons in that Target trip? And... I would ask if you checked the UPC to match, but I highly doubt Horizon suddenly changed their UPC? But maybe that is possible, idk. Tell me more details in a PM and we will get it resolved for you.

Thanks PL for the Crest Whitening Strips :).

I'll try and think of some hardcore coupons... will most likely pm them to you.

I was able to return a foodsaver to walmart without the receipt after speaking to every manager they had, what a fight... finally the last superior manager just said he can give me store credit and that was that.

I have another foodsaver though, I'm wondering if returning it with the actual receipt which I have kept would work? It says I payed something like 54 in cash and a mfr coupon -100. What do you think will happen if I try? Can you think of anything bad? I'm also thinking of tearing the receipt and saying it got tore in my pocket or something and I just have the barcode part, in there system does it show that I bought it and that I used a coupon or just that I bought it?
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 02, 2013, 07:57 pm
Why not just give it a shot? I wouldn't do the ripped UPC thing, and also make sure you DO NOT try to return it to the same store you passed the coupon at. Just go in and try to return it, the way I see it, they already assume the coupon has been sent off and therefor they will be paid, so they should refund the full amount to you... right? IDK, give it a shot and let us know how it goes. I have had reports of this working for some people but have never attempted it myself. I always just settle for store credit instead of cash.

I would settle for store credit but even that is a pain with walmart now.. I definitely won't be going to the same store..I haven't thought of a convincing enough reason as to why I would return something that I got for $100 off. I guess I can say it was a gift I didn't want..

Walmart has a really funny return policy on electronics... I've had issues with them in the past too, but went to Best Buy and it was simple there, but not sure if they carry the foodsaver. I would always default to Best Buy for my returns assuming they carried the item and I actually had something I needed at Best Buy.
Title: Re: Vendor: Purple Lotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: Shroomeister on January 02, 2013, 10:11 pm
Why not just sell it instead of the instant gratification of return?

I need me a food saver. lol

Back in the day as a kid I had a Play Station 1 fro years. Mine was shitty and I was a kid; my buddy had just bought a new one.

I "cleaned" mine up and put it in his box and returned it to Wallyworld. The return desk took it; sent me back to electronics to get another one. By the time I got back there "electronics" sent me back to the front empty handed. apprently they radioed eachother while I was on my walk.

When I got back to the fron they called my bluff and said "look at this...its like dirty and old"

Again; I was a kid - the only recourse I had left was

"I KNOWWWW WTFF...I just got it the other day... I open it up and that is what is inside! How do you think I feel about this!?"

......dont know how, but it worked..... I pretty much convinced them that someone else conned them; they restocked a used dirty PS1 and then sold it to me.... I got a new PS1 that day.

This story is more then 15 years old. I am not recommending it by any means, but my point is - these coupons bring that feeling of victory back all over again!

IMHO - BestBuy is a BITCH about returns, but I think it all depends who is in charge.

Hey PL-

I was thinking, re: new HC collection, perhaps TIRES?

Most big retailers have auto sections, with brands like Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, etc.  A coupon for "buy one tire, get one free", or a specific $$ amount off a set of 2 would work.  Having the coupon be for a set of 2 instead of 4 would make the coupon have a "smaller impact" (thus less shocking??),  and a person could just hit another store for the other two.

Tires are a BITCH (especially when you are least expecting to have to replace.) 

A good back-story (or full-page) could be THANKS for participating as a Goodyear product tester, or focus group, etc.

Just my $.02

Maybe someone with inside information @ Firestone,  Pepboys, Sears Walmart.com - Auto Care Center and AutoZone... would be able to provide info on them items.

Cool story Shroomeister,

I was succesful at returning it, I was nice about it so they decided to take it back as a no receipt return, they would not refund me 100 for a coupon for pretty obvious reasons.

I then went to another walmart to do some grocery shopping, and I have to say I got really heated when two managers had to tell me they cant take them because they don't have a website. I tried explaining that they were mfr coupons but didn't work, retard thought I had photo copied them. PL I'm asking you as I sit on my ass on my couch, but if I was in front of you I would probably crawl to you like a rodent to cheese and ask that you add websites to all the coupons. SO effin frustrating waiting in line, cutting them all out and shit to be told this. I didn't go to another walmart because I don't want to go through the same shit, and I've burnt the other stores around me.

PLEASE! I'm willing to do the photoshop work myself if I can get what I need to do it, I don't give a fuck if they all say from ecentives or not.

as for the HC Collection, items that are highly resellable would be awesome. coupons for guitar center would be killer, if you want specific items i would love to help.

Do you foresee that you could produce HQ concert tickets? Ultra...Coachella

There has been some discussion of us creating our own coupon verification website. I even ripped off a real one, all we would need to do is make it to where when they go to our site, and enter the code I put on the coupon, it queries the database and comes back with the coupon name and amount and "Verified". Seems really simple, but I'm no web designer. I'd love to put it in action though, it would be a really awesome boost to my work.

Fuck yeah Jdank!

So, talking with my partner RX, we have decided in the future all new HC coupons will either be full page or half page ads. This will require more time from us to work on each coupon, but ultimately it will make for a higher rate of success with the HC collection and also be very distinctly different from anything seen in the original collection as not to cause issues for OC coupons, just because HC coupons are used somewhere.

Also, there was discussion and debate about a particular coupon that I later said "Ok, Ill make it but throw it into the HC collection instead". Well I made that coupon and you can now find it in the HC collection. It is just for one manufacturer at the moment, even though many were suggested. Just want to see how it does, please let me know if you use it. You will find it in the root, and it's titled Winchester.jpg ;-)

Is there an obvious difference between the two Nature's Bounty coupons (updated one from yesterday and the earlier one)?  I think I downloaded and printed the new one but side by side I can't tell the difference.  The bottles seem a little stretched out horizontally so not sure which one I should be using or if that got fixed. Thanks!

I would use the hell out of that coupon myself, if my profile wasn't so important to our mission.

I might get some of my friends to go use it while I just chill back and watch. Seems like fun. (This is actually something I do, let other people test coupons while I get to watch the show)

Look at the EXP date... see it? It's possible I had the right one all along and was updating an older version someone pointed out to me...

It worked for me today, but 99% of people still don't realize it's not 2012 anymore I'm guessing.  These vitamin coupons are gonna be great--anyone who dabbles in mdma or related drugs should stock up on vitamin c, green tea extract, CoQ, and some of the other well-proven antioxidants to help get rid of all the free radicals that get left behind in your synapses (and make the after-effects much worse, IMO).

I love this thread.  It gives me hope that all the little guys will not just lay down as they are steamrolled by the megacorporations that control the politicians.  Keep it up PurpleLotus!!!!  You are truly a modern-day Robin Hood.

I am curious if this is a digital download, and if so how do you print the coupons to make them look legit?

Thank you for the kind words. Those are some of my favorites to hear.

It is a digital download, and the answer to your question about printing, 95% of my customers find it very simple, and every now and then I have to walk them through it, which I'm happy to do.

PL let me go ahead and say YOU ARE THE MOTHER FUCKING MAN!  I am so glad to see the newest addition to the HC collection.  I will do my best to go test it out tomorrow before work so long as I wake up with time to hit the store.  If it works you are about to save me a ton of money!  Is this one that you would suggest only using once per store?

Also I found some of the best glossy paper I've ever used.  A buddy suggested I check out Red River Paper.  I picked up a 100 pack of 8.5x11" 68LB UltaPro Gloss for around $40 after shipping.  It is a little pricey, but I only plan on using it on some of the tougher HC coupons.  I ordered it last Friday and it came in today.  Printed out just full page coupon, along with a hologram sticker and I have no doubt it will be easy to pass.  The paper has no watermarks on either side and is fairly heavy.  When cut evenly with a paper slicer and a hologram is used I have no doubt it will fool even the best cashier and manager.  ***CLEARNET*** http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/68lb-ultrapro-gloss.html

Also here is another huge list of various suggestions, I sent you a PM also but figured I would post here for discussion.

***I would love to see a juicer for the HC collection.
***RainX Windshield Wipers, the most expensive kind, I can't remember the type but they are like $15 or $20 for an 18" blade.  They work amazing and last quite a while!
This one is a long shot, but I figured its worth a shot.  A gun safe, no specifics just but preferably a fireproof one.
Sentry fireproof safes.  Again no specifics, maybe you could do like a $25 or $50 off any Sentry safe?  I haven't bought one in a few years so no idea how much they go for.  I think I paid $15 for a little sheet metal one that you could smash and open.  And I think I paid like $50 for my small fireproof one.
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 Controller
External Hard Drive
***16GB or 32GB Flash Drive - I need to pick up 15 of these suckers for a project.
Glossy Photo Paper & Cardstock
A HC coupon for a dremel, I already have one but imagine this would be a good one for others.
A generic coupon for dremel bits
I am not sure if it would be possible, but what about apple care+ warranties, Walmart sells them for iphones, ipods, and ipads.  They range from like $50-$200 for each device.  I honestly have no clue if this would work, or not.  After you add the apple care+ to your product I am not sure if Apple can take it off if the store reports it?
***Light bulbs - LED preferably
Would it be possible to create a generic coupon for DVDs, such as $15 off any Disney DVD or Bluray?
***Board Games - Maybe a generic one for different brands?  milton bradley, Disney Game, Hasbro, Jakks Pacific, Mattel, Nickelodeon, etc...
Spray Paint - Maybe Buy 2 cans save $5?
Duct Tape
Dyson Vacuum

hahaha, when I was 14 I had a similar situation  but with my mom instead of a friend. Lmao

we broke our non-premium xbox 360 (No HD).  So we decided to go to walmart, buy the premium one, replace the UPC stickers with our broken one. Then, we took the laptop harddrive out of the plastic enclosure w/ the cord to plug in.  we Kept it taped to the new premium xbox w/o the enclosure.  Then gorilla glued the enclosure on top of the old xbox 360 n even went as far as to replace the matte grey disk trey cover w/ the premium ones. Lol.

it was a free upgrade n fix.

funny shit. lmao



Why not just sell it instead of the instant gratification of return?

I need me a food saver. lol

Back in the day as a kid I had a Play Station 1 fro years. Mine was shitty and I was a kid; my buddy had just bought a new one.

I "cleaned" mine up and put it in his box and returned it to Wallyworld. The return desk took it; sent me back to electronics to get another one. By the time I got back there "electronics" sent me back to the front empty handed. apprently they radioed eachother while I was on my walk.

When I got back to the fron they called my bluff and said "look at this...its like dirty and old"

Again; I was a kid - the only recourse I had left was

"I KNOWWWW WTFF...I just got it the other day... I open it up and that is what is inside! How do you think I feel about this!?"

......dont know how, but it worked..... I pretty much convinced them that someone else conned them; they restocked a used dirty PS1 and then sold it to me.... I got a new PS1 that day.

This story is more then 15 years old. I am not recommending it by any means, but my point is - these coupons bring that feeling of victory back all over again!

IMHO - BestBuy is a BITCH about returns, but I think it all depends who is in charge.

No the updates and additions are free, you never have to purchase the same listing twice, only new listings.

I was forced to change the link a couple weeks ago due to scammers, I hate doing it, but sometimes it becomes necessary to weed out the bad apples and assure they no longer can access our stuff.

Message me on SR, using the account you made the purchase on and I'll get you hooked right up.

@spearwarrior: Grats man! I went 3 out of 3 and ran the table with Glitch's sodastream coupons not too long ago. I'm really happy with the Sodastream machine. Coins are always appreciated and certainly make a difference in encouraging us to push harder. Just knowing people appreciate the hard work and thought put into these collections is really some motivating stuff.

Some things I would like to see:

A coupon for 5-HTP for those of us that like to roll. In fact, a coupon for supplements in general would be fantastic. Like a "$X off any {Brand} Product" would be awesome. I'm willing to do some scouting for this if needed.

A coupon for Blu E-cig refills, which are now sold at Walgreens and CVS and I'm sure other places. We've got a coupon for cheap cigs, now let's get one for those that are trying to quit. :)

Keep up the good work PL!

Post by: purplelotus on January 03, 2013, 11:29 pm
Oh! I like the Blu E-Cig idea!

Also I still have to make that coupon for the Hitachi Magic Wand.

We actually have coupons for two different brands of supplements, but I'll look into 5-HTP, I've actually never heard of it.

Post by: Devaney1984 on January 04, 2013, 01:17 am
Yeah 5-htp would be awesome, that along w/antioxidants and melatonin takes away some of the hurt away from a molly come down and helps your body get its seratonin levels back up to par.  Checked a couple places to see if  Nature's Bounty makes it but they don't, I think Nature Made or whatever the other big vitamin manufacturer makes it though.

Post by: robotrippin on January 04, 2013, 02:15 am
I've thought about things like this but I haven't had any trouble using any coupons as they are, so this all seems unnecessary.  The only coupons I could see trying to add some validity to are the higher value ones. And  when it applies to those I see this method as overkill. Clearly they aren't passing $10 off this or $20 off that coupons around in mass circulation so that can only serve as another red flag.  The best thing is to come up with a bulletproof story and have it down solid. Not really the cliche "I filled out a survey" but something unique. That story is up to you however, I won't divulge my line. The survey shit does work though. You have to understand the coupons all scan just fine. In time of question it's how convincing you are, not necessarily the coupon, that matters. Obviously the coupon should be of quality production, but if you can't play the part it's really irrelevant. Like I said though. I've never had an issue passing of anything from the OG collection. It's only the hardcore coupons that require you to be on top of your game.

My latest success with HC adventures. Manager gets called in... Looks at the coupon, then looks at me. Asks, "Did you print this off the internet?" (Yes, it was in black and white, that's how I roll) and I said:

"Well, I got one of these for Christmas and went online to register it for my extended warranty. After I registered it, they asked me to complete a quick survey, which I did... then they sent me an e-mail with this coupon and I figured I would come get another one for a gift for someone else."

BAM, success... she didn't think twice and was extremely polite.

I'm always around, just work get's in the way some times. Then other times I just need a few days off from everything. Then that other project I was telling you about as well, which is coming along nicely.

Popular one for the new years party was vodka infused with skittle and then the lemon-lime mix from the soda maker.

I like it b/c I can make just what I'm going to drink. I don't drink a lot of soda anyways. So it's nice to make 1 or 2 drinks at a time and not worry about the rest going flat over the next week.

Does anyone know what the highest value coupon or highest total value of coupons you can put into a walmart self checkout before it needs approval? My regional grocery is now dinging me all the time and they've told their cashiers in the regular lines to be very careful of coupons with "ridiculous amounts", says my source on the inside. So I'm going to start making the commute to wally world, I suppose.

I still go through the line when I hit the post-dinner rush or I'm buying a ton of stuff, but sometimes it's nice to just breeze through a self checkout.

Not sure about Walmart, but I know a bit about Target. SOME employees are told to call the manager over if the savings exceed $100 because "something probably went wrong: a shit ton of coupons is a flag." That being said, on my last trip to Target, I saved over $190 and no manager got called over. The lady who checked me out was really nice. Her mind = blown. She was commenting on how ridiculous it was. I have a line to explain it, but I'd prefer not to share. Keep it up guys! I'm heading out now, trying out a few HC coupons. I'll report back in a few hours!

Bad news -the RED BULL was rejected. Screen said something about calling manufacturer. It was at a Tar not in my state and the first time I have had problem with red bull coupon. They are on sale and you get a free red bull 4gb flash drive when you by 2. Gonna try the bullseye in home state asap. Gonna return the 2 I paid full price on.

Anyone else have red bull issues?

The coupon information corporation is out there trying to inform stores about the fake coupons.  Once a store finds out about one they can add it to their computer to know its fake.  Here is a list of some of the known fake coupons, (CLEARWEB) http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/psa-list.php

Here is their bit about lucas henderson who made the first fakes and got caught by the FBI , (also clearweb)  http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/Coupon_Guy_Arrested.php

No one gives a fuck about the CIC (retailers I mean), that much I am sure of. No store is adding any of that to any database (at least so far). If one of my coupons ever doesn't work based off the CIC, I'll just change all the information contained within it and suddenly it's no longer a CIC known coupon. We have been trying to keep up with any reports and making sure we don't have known fakes out there. If the day ever comes that I am not always ahead of the game, then that will be the day I retire, take down my listings, and move on with my life to the next thing.

As far as the redbull coupon, I've seen that before at a Target (not with my coupons), and I think it has to do with the local store. We will have to hang tight and see if it was just a rogue occurrence, or not, with that coupon. I have only personally seen that happen with tide before (again not my tide) and then that same old tide coupon would work at the same store at a different location. So far none of the coupons I have made have completely ceased to work at a particular location, so if Target suddenly had a coupon I made that wasn't working at all there anymore, then that would be a first for me and of course it would get yanked and remade real quick, probably would change the brand to a similar product though.

As far as the Android app, they don't have one like CouponDecoder that will break down all the information for you, but they do have plenty free scanners which will just show you the digits contained in the databar, the CouponDecoder just tells you what those digits means in terms of a coupon.

Does anyone second the $5 off Phillys change?

Yes, be safe... and for you that means not returning to that store, I guess you probably got that though. I guess I just want to hear more about this story, so I can form an opinion of what happened. With the original collection, only once in my experience have I actually had one of those coupons turned away, and it was by this manager who kept talking and talking and apologizing to me until I had to stop him and say "look there are people behind me, are you going to accept the rest of these coupons or not?" He told the cashier to accept the rest of them, and that was that.

The Red Bull thing at Target happened to me with the Glad trash bags, that was addressed in the old thread. Basically it's nothing. Not only did the cashier override the coupon but PL quickly responded and fixed the coupon. Sure, I had a cool cashier, but as for the integrity of the coupon there's no worries. Like PL said it must be something isolated because I've been cleaning up on Red Bull at my local Target. That sucks if that particular coupon doesn't work for you at that store, but I'm sure it's not dead as I used it yesterday. Try it at WM or KM and it should be fine.

Also, and it's certainly not that I don't believe everyone, but I usually wait until I get a second report before I take action. Such as the case with the Glad trashbag coupon which apparently I just mistakenly choose to make that coupon for the exact same item and amount as a highly distributed fake on the clearnet. It still worked for the majority of us, but after a few reports with the same issue, I just changed it up and so far I haven't heard any problems.

Go somewhere else with that Bull Shit!

Did they accept the coupons? Did they turn you away? How do you know they were LP? How high were you? So they let you use the coupons and then after you defrauded them of X amount of $ they decided to get your license plate? Seriously!?! IF you even expect anyone to take you seriously you best have more than that offering. Even then it'll be easy to weed you out as a punk.  If you have something constructive to say we all want to hear it, if not fuck off.

PL let me go ahead and say YOU ARE THE MOTHER FUCKING MAN!  I am so glad to see the newest addition to the HC collection.  I will do my best to go test it out tomorrow before work so long as I wake up with time to hit the store.  If it works you are about to save me a ton of money!  Is this one that you would suggest only using once per store?

Also I found some of the best glossy paper I've ever used.  A buddy suggested I check out Red River Paper.  I picked up a 100 pack of 8.5x11" 68LB UltaPro Gloss for around $40 after shipping.  It is a little pricey, but I only plan on using it on some of the tougher HC coupons.  I ordered it last Friday and it came in today.  Printed out just full page coupon, along with a hologram sticker and I have no doubt it will be easy to pass.  The paper has no watermarks on either side and is fairly heavy.  When cut evenly with a paper slicer and a hologram is used I have no doubt it will fool even the best cashier and manager.  ***CLEARNET*** http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/68lb-ultrapro-gloss.html

Also here is another huge list of various suggestions, I sent you a PM also but figured I would post here for discussion.

***I would love to see a juicer for the HC collection.
***RainX Windshield Wipers, the most expensive kind, I can't remember the type but they are like $15 or $20 for an 18" blade.  They work amazing and last quite a while!
This one is a long shot, but I figured its worth a shot.  A gun safe, no specifics just but preferably a fireproof one.
Sentry fireproof safes.  Again no specifics, maybe you could do like a $25 or $50 off any Sentry safe?  I haven't bought one in a few years so no idea how much they go for.  I think I paid $15 for a little sheet metal one that you could smash and open.  And I think I paid like $50 for my small fireproof one.
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 Controller
External Hard Drive
***16GB or 32GB Flash Drive - I need to pick up 15 of these suckers for a project.
Glossy Photo Paper & Cardstock
A HC coupon for a dremel, I already have one but imagine this would be a good one for others.
A generic coupon for dremel bits
I am not sure if it would be possible, but what about apple care+ warranties, Walmart sells them for iphones, ipods, and ipads.  They range from like $50-$200 for each device.  I honestly have no clue if this would work, or not.  After you add the apple care+ to your product I am not sure if Apple can take it off if the store reports it?
***Light bulbs - LED preferably
Would it be possible to create a generic coupon for DVDs, such as $15 off any Disney DVD or Bluray?
***Board Games - Maybe a generic one for different brands?  milton bradley, Disney Game, Hasbro, Jakks Pacific, Mattel, Nickelodeon, etc...
Spray Paint - Maybe Buy 2 cans save $5?
Duct Tape
Dyson Vacuum

Where can I get a hologram sticker like you did to make my coupons look more legit? Thanks!

I went to a new bullseye to try and get  few more beats ear buds that I saw after using regular coupons yesterday.  The coupons were turn down after i pressed the manager to try the other barcodes as that is what worked in the past.  She said she would have to call to check and it would take some time.  I declined and said I would return. As I was walking away the original cashier walked by with uniformed loss prevention, but they didn't follow me out of the store.  Once I was out of the store and 1 car away from my car loss prevention passed by on golfcart, and wrote down my plate number.

I think I just happen to go to a target that someone got to before I did.

There is a vendor with a listing for the holos on SR, you can find it here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/375c3c2901
or you can search on the clearnet for some as well. They really do make a world of a difference.

I would never return there and don't sweat it. I personally would have gotten out of my car with a pistol and asked them wtf they were doing writing down my license plate... but that's just how I roll.

Also, don't get too greedy, you got 3 beats headsets the other day, you only got two ears... try out some of the other HC gems.

Not sure if you meant "new" as new to you, or "new" as in a brand new store, but let me tell you... nothing in the world is better to use these coupons at than a brand new store. None of the employees, managers, etc are trained at all and will just about believe anything for the first year that store is open. I've done some crazy ass shit at a brand new store.

fakeplastic on SR also sells VISA holograms, but I think he is on vacation. I have 20 small visa holos and 20 large ones and have not officially decided how I will use them. Maybe make a brand new VISA full page ad with a new angle, print them on high quality paper, make them for the $100 gift cards, and slap some holos on them and snailmail them out to people in a new listing. idk

Has anybody gotten the Kindle Fire to work and if so where? Kmart doesn't carry the HD, Radio Shack doesn't accept manufacturer/free coupons and 2 different Staples were a no-go (apparently they don't mail their coupons to clearinghouses, having some different system).

Also tried the iPod touch coupon at Target but it didn't scan. That was a disappointment.

I hit up all the CVSs in my area and got 2 $50 Visas and like 4 iTunes $25 gift cards. Also a GoPhone card. Most CVS's seem to have instruction to not give discounts on GCs, and one even had a printout of an iTunes coupon that looked just like ours.

Yes a few have, I forgot the exact details, but my collection has been turned 100% verified now (minus that iPod coupon I accidentally made for a discontinued model. I was just going off an iPod I found)

PRO HC TIP: By design... RCA HDTV at KMart. I did that coupon on purpose because K-Mart is so easy to pass HC coupons and exclusively sell RCA tvs, a couple people have caught on already, which made me proud, but I figured I'd throw that thought out there.

Why am I not doing it now? I already worked 12 hours today, I can barely fuck around on the forum. Yes, it shouldn't take me a ton of time to do, so I would think as soon as I have some refreshed free time, I'll knock it out.

You best be rolling with a ghat if you've got Dre's beats and some a-hole roles up in a Golf Cart?! lol. I think you're good bro but like PL said, don't go back and maybe lay off the beats.

@PL I think that's a genius idea you have there w/ the new angle, inc. in value, along w/ the holos! If I had a 3/3 day with those I'd be so relieved of $$ right now. But on SR I have PLenty  (probly why there isn't enough now outside here LOL) to get in on these if you go through with it. Keep up the good work bro!

Yes!  I would love a Taco Bell coupon.  I am obsessed with those Doritos Tacos.  A coupon for Starbucks would be amazing, but their employees are usually pretty well trained, I doubt they would scan a coupon they hadn't heard of.  Do you know if you buy a Starbucks card at a Walgreens or CVS?

Yes, reports show they can be picked up at Target.

Kohl's is a great place to use coupons. They see so many coupons every day, they dont even think twice about it. They also have tons of different household products including the sodastream. Still waiting on a coupon for the ninja blender ;)

Also, I think Legal Sea Foods might be a good brand to coupon. They sell bags of frozen shrimp at BJ's and shit. All coupons work at BJ's.

Yeah they work on self check outs. I believe if your total savings is over $20 or the individual coupon is over $10, the system will prompt for the attendant to approve it but that doesn't mean they won't be accepted.

So I just got shut down on small order at Walmart using the OG collection. I had about $60 worth of items, 14 items total, and had coupons for 11 of them totaling $42.25 in savings. The amount don't even matter because she never even tried scanning the coupons! She scanned everything and then I handed her the coupons and she quickly fanned through them and said "I'm not sure if I can take these, hold on." She walked over to the corner and talked to someone and came back saying she can't accept them. I had both my kids with me so I didn't really want to cause a commotion. I just said "Really, why not?" She kept saying "Sorry, I can't" even after asking her another time. After that I just grabbed the coupons and told her I'm not buying anything here and I'll take my money and coupons somewhere they are welcome. This is the same store I had issues with the Roku XD coupon before Christmas. It's also the same store I used $50 worth of coupons at last night. I'm not sure what the problem is and had I not had my kids I would have challenged her to scan them and remind her of their policy on coupons.  What this means for me is nothing much. Fuck that store, it's dead to me. I still have been having 100% success at the local Targets and Kmarts. I'm still a bit confused as to why they were shut down on sight, but there's too many places they work with no issues for me to give a shit. I just wanted to let everyone know what happened.

And NO, there were no employees following me out of the store, I was kind of hoping for it. As much as I didn't want my kids to see a confrontation I gladly would have tucked them into the car and had it out with anyone trying to "get my plate" as others have said is happening. No sweat though, fuck Wally. Looks like the bullseye is there for a reason ;D

As far as my methods for personal use go in comparison to this story. I never hit the same store two days in a row for any reason. I run a rotation that generally has be going to the same store twice a month for any reason. I shop about once a week.

HAHA, yeah I always prefer Target over Walmart... Walmart is changing their coupon policy faster than I change threads at this point.

Post by: robotrippin on January 05, 2013, 08:43 pm
Ya, I usually try to space it out better also. It was an odd circumstance though. My kid bought an $85 Lego(of all things) last night there and opened it this morning and it was completely fucked up. So he was all bummed, as you'd expect, and we went right back to the same store to return it. Possibly being a bit greedy I decided to try to pick up a few more things while I was there and again fuck this store since they had caused my son's grief. Didn't work as planned, lol.
I  try to keep to strict schedule of 2-3 days between trips and rotate between stores each time also. Like you said, it ensures that I'm never at the same place often enough to get picked out. I'm in a pretty big metro so there's a bunch of shit around here. It was just carelessness and greed on my part. No worries though, I'll be right back at it Monday. I just wanted to share it, if it even helps one person it was worth the time. 

Target is definitely the place to go, I feel much more comfortable there. It's almost like they welcome the shit ;D

I have found little luck @ Walmart in the past and have always had the same responses that you received. "We can't take this"...same response even after I pulled out the coupon policy and had it highlighted where it clearly stated otherwise. You'd think as the world's third largest public company and the only retail outlet store chain making more revenue than many oil companies, they would let a few bucks go... no big deal. Tarjay has been super lenient w/ me. Their CP states that they can't accept a coupon worth 75% or more off original price of item but I've been to 5 and every CSM overwrote it regardless. They are awesome there.

Ya, I should have known better. I hate WM and especially this particular store. It's in a location that lends itself to huge crowds and it's seriously understaffed.  The type of people here are also, well without being too ignorant, uncivilized. I think that makes this store a bit more strict/aware when it comes to any kind of discount, as people are constantly trying to scam this store, not just with coupons. 

It's good to hear about people having similar experiences though. Not that I ever lost any confidence in this, but it's nice to get everyone's feedback on this.  This is what makes PL and this thread so great. Everyone here is like-minded and we all are looking to ensure each others success.  I really appreciate everyone's contributions to this and hopefully together we can make this last for a long time.

Just went to Target trying out these coupons for the first time so I started out small, but the coupons for the Cottenelle wipes refill and tub, Colgate toothpaste, and Keurig K-cup ones all worked fine. She just scanned them didn't say anything and I paid. That was it. Couldn't have worked any better. Next time I'll try a little bigger but I still think it's probably wise to not go too big so as to not draw too much attention to yourself or the coupons in general. Just my two cents. I'm excited though!

Not saying you can't go big, there are plenty here who have and still do, but if you stay small it's virtually guaranteed.  It seems pretty established that somewhere around $60 and under in savings is usually smooth as silk.  But there's nothing like going in and coming out with $200 of merchandise and only paying for 10% or so it. Actually it's quite a good feeling no matter how big or small you go.  :D

Enjoy and stay smart and safe.

Ya, I should have known better. I hate WM and especially this particular store. It's in a location that lends itself to huge crowds and it's seriously understaffed.  The type of people here are also, well without being too ignorant, uncivilized. I think that makes this store a bit more strict/aware when it comes to any kind of discount, as people are constantly trying to scam this store, not just with coupons. 

It's good to hear about people having similar experiences though. Not that I ever lost any confidence in this, but it's nice to get everyone's feedback on this.  This is what makes PL and this thread so great. Everyone here is like-minded and we all are looking to ensure each others success.  I really appreciate everyone's contributions to this and hopefully together we can make this last for a long time.

Well said my friend.  8) I'd +1 you if I could...sometime soon! :)

There is so much shit regarding the WM corporation that there are multiple books on it. There have been thousands of lawsuits against them for low employee wages, no health insurance (until recently which is now ridicously low), foreign relations and treatment of workers, poor work conditions, ANYTHING bad a store can do there have been lawsuits against them that are legitimate claims, yet somehow, the big WM gets it taken care of. They had their "Buy America" campaign...yet they import over 60% of their products from China, along w/ soo many other countries. I could go on forever...but if you do a clearnet search for "Criticism of walmart" or walmart in general you will probably become just as red as I did.  >:(

Basically, after I read so much on WM (initially I simply wanted to see their employee benefits), I can't really be upset anymore with any of the employees in regards to being turned down or my coups. not being accepted.  I realized that they are trying to survive and not get fired by this corrupt corporation, which I discovered after more reading off of "walmart sucks dot org", it extends down to the managers.  It's honestly a "big-brother" for the employees there. 70% "quit" within first year.

*I don't want to get someone fired who is just trying to put food on the table for their family and I can guarantee most of the employees (besides the A-hole Managers) do not want to be working there...there's just no other options in this economy especially with WM putting smaller, local retailers out of business. Ex. They put thousands of Kraft workers out of a job (search it on clearnet). * I HATE WM Corporation even more and wish I could bombard the shit out of them with HC coupons  if it weren't for the employees' jobs at stake (btw WM is anti-union). So, to wrap up this vent LOL..I can understand why so many people would want to scam them (not solely coupons) bc they are the biggest scam on so many levels.

Sorry that was so long...I felt I needed to make people aware of this. LONG LIVE SR AND PL's COLLECTION(S)!   :)

I hate the people at Walmart.  They would stab you to get in front of you in line.

I saw a woman at Walmart with a friend and she looked like she was 10 months pregnant, I thought she was going to go into labor right then and there.  She was having a hard time walking, you know waddling slowly and stuff.  Well I couldn't believe all the people who pushed by her and almost knocked her over. Some jerk hit her with his cart! 

They do the same to old people and people with babies too!!!  Evil fucks.  Don't knock Grandma and little Susie over!  One just learned how to walk and talk the other one has almost completly forgotten how to do both.  Is it really that urgent that you must buy THE Fucking Forman Grill and the tacky Jaclyn Smith Collection pantsuit in cart RIGHTNOW!!!!

Fucking assholes!  That never happens at Target.  Fuck Walmart.  Damn I am angry.

Yea not only do I encounter people who work there to not give two shits about the customers...but the people who like to "hang out there" haven't been "humane" so to speak. I live in one of the nicer towns of my county and that's probably the reason we don't have a walmart but they just put a target in the only area where land was available and it took 6 years for it to pass through city council. There's a reason the nearest WM is in the ghetto towns of my county and it better F'ing stay that way!!

@KitKat you should check this out (clearnet or tor is fine) but it's "walmart sucks dot org" w/o the spaces and it has all these stories that are similar to what you mentioned. And for a laugh there's always "people of walmart dot com" on the clearnet LOL. I had to look @ that website after my fury on WM.

Anyone been using the HC collection lately?  Which ones from that collection are burnt?

MacMan, if you are having problems getting them to scan, then check them with a smart phone app, because they all scan for sure, so it might be a printing issue.

And sorry if I left a few old ones in the zip files when updating them, Sounds like I put all the new ones in but made a couple duplicates with old ones too? Not sure but I will monitor all the files very closely and remove anything I may have overlooked, thanks for the heads up guys.

man, i've now joined the club.  Ever since I made my first purchase using coupons i've been kicking myself for not buying the collections sooner.

I raped my local stores for gift cards today.  Quick question.  Has anyone heard of the gift cards being deactivated?  I'm just wondering if I need to worry about them catching on and somehow deactivating the gift cards.  So if I need to use them ASAP I just want to make sure that I do.

Also used the $75 off of Sony Blu Ray Player coupon at Kmart today.  So I got a Blu Ray for $12.09
Used the $60 off of the Nikon S30 Digital Camera at Target.  The manager had to approve this one though.  He said because of the amount and that coupons of that amount are highly unusual.  He kept staring at it, holding it up to the light, but ultimately approved it and I walked out the store with the digital camera for $37 and some change. 

A coupon for Newport cigarettes would be great also.  I see you got the Marlboro smokers covered (the Marlboro coupon works great btw, my mother used it at Wal Mart yesterday)

@inthedaytime: There was talk on the old thread (which I read almost all of) about GCs potentiallygetting deactivated. I suggest you figure out how to spend or cash out on them fast.

Gift cards coming out my wazoo, I'm really itchy to try and use them to pay the difference on some higher end items (like the blue-ray, nice tip on Kmart) which i can then sell for cash.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 06, 2013, 09:35 am
Only gift card I've heard word of being deactivated was the VISA GCs, so I always suggested, even before such a report was made to spend those bitches as fast as you can. I always used them to fill up on gas or go do other shopping.

That being said, I have received no other reports of deactivation, and even gave my nephew a 12 month subscription to XBOX live gold for Christmas and so far he has been having a blast, I even get sent pictures of him playing with it.

My bad bro, i actually shoulda been more specific.  The thing was a couple coupons i used before and had success with only a couple days ago, i couldnt get them to scan and not because there was anything wrong with the coupons.  When WM doesnt take the coupon it will bring up a message saying that it cant be accepted.  So yeah idk what the deal was. It was either that specific scanner or the way im printing them out.

When you guys print them do you adjust the size or make them bigger or anything like that?

@Purplelotus Whats your method of printing them out?

Also one more Question. I saw some talk about using holigram paper or something like that to make them look even more authentic.  I read some more about it on the CIC website. 
Has anyone had a chance to do this?

Post by: 420blindman on January 06, 2013, 01:07 pm
When I print out coupons, it's always in color and I use medium to high grade paper. There used to be a coupon for free paper somewhere in the link, along with ink. I try to print in different sizes, so when I check out, I don't appear that they all came from the same place. I usually make small talk with the cashier, and if they ask about the coupons, I just tell them that my wife/gf/mom prints/clips from newspapers and I'm simple sent to pick them up. If they start to give me a hard time, I act like I'm going to be in big trouble if I come home empty handed.  If it goes further, I'll start to mention their coupon policy. I've only been turned away twice with the Original coupons, and I've been a client of Purple Lotus since last summer. Saved thousands to date, still going. Both times I was turned down, I went back to that same store 2-3 days later and had no problems.

  LOL.  Yeah, I used to live in a nice neighborhood and we had a WalMart, the people who went there were all yuppies and teenagers with nicer cars and jewelry than I have.  They were obnoxious, but at least they didn't try to kill people with shopping carts.  It is probably because not that many people shopped there, so there was no race to the checkout.
 
  Now I live in the seventh circle of HELL, and Target is like 90 minutes away. Walmart is full of people who are so angry and agressive that I refuse to go there.  I can't blame them entirely, going to WalMart makes me homicidal too.  I pretty much would rather die of starvation than shop there.  Don't even get me started about how horrible they are to their employees.  They almost never promote from within, they hire managers from the outside...etc

I need therapy for my anger towards WalMart.

 First off I'm glad I got both collections & since i use alot of online coupons anyway, noone really looked at me weird when I saved $80 using mostly coupons from you(i brought in 5 sunday paper coupons to blend in) at my local grocery chain....I used some of the HC coupons last night got 3/$25 visas at smaller places where i knew a manager didnt have to turn key for manufacturers coupons, nice...Then I got a little bolder & went to CVS(where i'm a friendly face) to try the 50 Visa & was turned down because they said there was a memo out saying that these were known to be fake, manager asked how i ran into it & i told them i did surveys on a few product consumer sites & got an email with it from one of the survey sites...no biggie since they know me and didn't think I was up to no good, but they started explaining how scammers set up fake survey sites to get your info for identity theft & gave me a cvs gift card for $20 off my next store purchase for my inconvience (i think mostly cuz I had my kids with me), how funny is that!!! I read on the forum that cvs was were people were being sent to to cash in HC coupons...trying to give the heads up, here in the dirty south cvs may be burnt out...If i run into a cvs where the management looks a little doofy, being the hardcore grifter i am, I may try again:)

@livingdeadgirl: Yes, we have become aware that in certain areas there have been emails sent out specifically about the VISA full page ads. To my knowledge and anyone else's it is only the VISA coupon which has been mass emailed out, and with good reason I suppose because when I first dropped that coupon we raped the fuck out of it across the country. We earned the title "Hardcore" for that collection.

This is where I want to point out that the HC collection is vastly different than the Original Collection in terms of success. Sometimes I feel like we get more people reporting issues with getting HC coupons to scan than we do anything else, and I don't want that to deter people who might be interested in the original collection.

@spearwarrior: Didn't we have this conversation? Do you just really love my watermarks on the beats coupon or something? If you want I can do more like that, I got it down now. And if someone beat you to the RCA coupon at Kmart, thats a damn shame! I need to go out to the KMart in the next town over and give it a shot, I really think K-Mart is HC gold as long as you don't pick the 70+ year old cashier.

I tried the Gillette $10 off 4ct Pack of Gillette Fusion Pro-Glide Razor Cartridges at my local chain grocery store (not nationwide chain but regional chain) and tried the coupon but it came up coupon not recognized. The manager came over and he ended up giving me the discount anyway but this was the first coupon I had that didn't end up working. I'm not 6 for 7 with coupons so far but I wonder why the Gillette 4 pack of razor cartridges didn't work. I might try the coupon at a larger chain store like Target and see if it works out but anyone have any trouble with this? It is found in collection "Coupon2." THanks.

Post by: purplelotus on January 06, 2013, 09:01 pm
@oblonsky: I would double check that the first 5 digit set on the UPC of the product match the first 5 digits on the coupon, but for that item I'm extrremely confident they will always match, so I would suggest trying a different store as it could be possible that at a locaol or regional chain they will have a policy or function in their system that will just deny a coupon worth over $X. I have a local store that the policy is nothing over $4 without a managers approval, but still I have great shopping trips there using every coupon I can $4 and below.

I think a big reason why there's more posts in this thread about HC collection is mostly a testament to how good your OG collection is. You can only post of success with it so many times before it becomes mundane, no matter how fun it is IRL.  Hell, I love hearing stories about first timers so I could imagine how you feel about it. But that's been wrote about so many times it's not something everyone posts about. I wouldn't consider that a bad thing. Although I do see that the OG pack is your main focus right now, and for good reason, so I understand why you would like to see the thread remain more about that. I hope it does too, another thread reset would be a bitch.

A good idea I think for the HC would be 'buy one get one free' for gift cards.. especially gas. I love me some gas. But these would be a lot more legit looking than simply 'free', and I'd use the shit out of them.

Went to the second CVS today that had your free itunes coupon posted up. This time they went to go get the manager, and I left. Once I saw the poster, I knew it wasn't worth the rigamarole. I don't know if other areas are having this happen or if it's just a couple individual stores in my area, but maybe with the next update you should change the format or size or something.

Just got in from shopping.  Not as successful on this second run with the HC collections as I was yesterday.  Did manage to get another $100 worth of gift Cards out of CVS though.  Which makes my grand total from Rite Aid a little over $600 in gift cards.  I'm going to leave them alone now though after hearing from 3 different managers that there has been a memo put out about coupons or gift cards.  The last one was kind of nasty with me and wanted to keep the coupon. 

Tried the HC coupon for the free COD Black Ops 2 game at Toys R Us today.  It would not scan.  it's a shame it didn't because they would have given it to me.  Manager said that I may have to pay the sales tax though.  She could not get it to scan for the world though.  I tried scanning it with the android app on my phone and it picks up the number just fine, just doesn't find any product for it.  So I don't think it was a printing issue.

My biggest problem with the gift cards is going to a store and them not having the card I have coupons for.  Other than that they all scan just fine.  It just comes down to whether or not the manager is on top of their game and denies it.  Most are NOT.   

a couple of notes though on GC coupons
-  the Subway card I have not been able to find in a $10 increment, only $15
- The $50 Shell gas card is the BEST
-  The Itunes GC coupon never draws any type of suspicion

Other than that not much to add.  Kind of low on cash right now or I would have tried more HC coupons.  So I've just been sticking to the completely free ones, and have been having great success  Would have tried the Kindle Fire HD coupon today, but forgot it at home DURR 

I LOVE this collection.  PL you are my man, 50 grand!  Looking forward to updates!

I've printed so many damn coupons that my printer is low on ink now.  No worries though.  I'll be using the HP Ink coupon to get some more soon.  lol

So I keep reading all of these posts about people going out and trying to score hundreds of dollars worth of discounts and sometimes being successful, other times not, but I'm hesitant to buy the HC collection because it seems like a lot of people have gone hog wild and possibly have drawn a lot of suspicion to these coupons. Not to bemoan those who are deciding to go all out, but it just seems to me that going on huge extravaganzas like that all in the same day all in the same store is going to mean this coupon rigging ruse is going to be exposed awfully quick, even affecting those of us attempting to make modest purchases using the OC collection. I don't mean to sound bitter or necessarily discourage those from trying to push the envelope, but I would love to see this "scam" keep going on for years and years and the more people extravagantly exploit the system, it seems the quicker the stores will catch on and tighten their coupon policies. I'm just sayin'.

The idea behind hitting a bunch of stores in the same day is to hit them before they realize it's a fake and notify other stores in the region. Particularly for the high profile ones.

You can try to act like a team player all you want on here but the truth is there are probably at least 10 people lurking for every one person posting and you can bet most people are going to act out of their own self interest.

It's a relatively simple exercise in game theory. Your gain, or someone else's gain, does not necessarily equate to my loss when you "fly under the radar" and use the coupons reasonably without raising alarm, but if you or I or anyone then begins going hog wild then that person's gains does necessarily equal my and everyone else's loss. Obviously, even if certain rules were established about how it is most ideal to use these coupons without bringing attention and therefore suspicion to this coupon rigging scheme, people would break those rules and ultimately everyone else will be worse off, including the person exploiting the system most aggressievly. Ideally, if you could get everyone to follow the rules by limiting extravagant purchases and therefore causing no attention to be drawn to the use of the coupons, in the long run everyone will be better off. That is, even the person who would otherwise run the table on $1000 worth of stuff in a day would receive a higher long-run payoff by using more discretion and not causing any suspicion being drawn to the coupon use. Of course, people will break the rules and in that case that individual will indeed achieve a higher payoff at the expense of others because ultimately knowledge of the scam will be so widespread that the game will be over and coupon policies will tighten across the board. Basically, in would be in everyone's best interest to preserve the integrity of this scam for the long run, but because people are unlikely to do that then yes it is rational for people to seek the highest payoff in the shortest period of time, virtually guaranteeing that the coupon ruse will be discovered and eventually shut down.

Post by: oblonsky on January 07, 2013, 03:15 am
You're right. Since so many people now have the coupons it's smartest to just go and buy as much as you can and/or move up future purchases up to the present to take advantage of the coupons. I only have the OC collection and I've only had one not scan but it was at a regional chain and the manager gave me the discount anyway and it ended up scanning at CVS later that day. I wish there was a hack to get huge discounts on airline fares like $700 off a roundtrip international flight or something. I'd be all over that. I see the Southwest giftcard coupon and that looks interesting too. Also, a $30,000 off a Porsche 911 Turbo coupon would be pretty sweet too.

No such list exists, as 100% of them have now been confirmed to work, minus the iPod coupon, but that's only because they discontinued that model... otherwise the collection is perfect and works if you work them, obviously many issues can get in your way and they won't all work at every store for sure even in the best of circumstances, but they all have worked. Ask about any item and I bet someone will say "Yeah, I got one of those". I've checked them all off the list of "firsts!" That's one of the things I'm most excited about with these additions, I will now get more "firsts" which I love.

@inthedaytimewitha: Keep going hard, brother! That's what we came for and that's what you paid for.

P.S. to oblonsky: I did in fact find a way to make coupons for a new car... if you pick up one of those GAS cards, then you can come ride with me.

Post by: zeke on January 07, 2013, 04:55 am
Yesterday was another successful day for me.  The biggest success was at a K-Mart that I had never been to before, and didn't even plan on stopping at first but had some time to kill so stopped in.  Only coupon I had on me at the time was the $100 foodsaver coupon printed on the Red River Glossy Photo Paper I talked about a few pages back.  I cut it out meticulously with my paper slicer, and it had some of the most straight edges I've achieved thus far.  I then had a new hologram sticker that I hadn't used yet, its an all black rectangle with multiple words on it "Valid, Authentic, Certified, Original, Genuine, etc..."  Everything was lined up 100% perfectly.  Went in and planned on getting another of the bigger model ones that go for $150 or so.  Unfortunately they only had a smaller model for $89.99.  I figured it was worth a shot with how good the coupon looked. 

Then I picked my target, a heavy set college girl that looked like she could use a compliment to boost her spirit up.  Threw out my story of how great my last foodsaver worked and I purchased TONs of bags from the foodsaver website to vacuum seal all of my bulk meat.  I went on to explain how distraught I was when I purchase my last large quantity of bulk meat and on the first bag the heat sealer quit working.  I then called foodsaver and since my model was discountinued they couldn't replace it so that gave me the $100 off coupon.  She was amazed by the story, but the coupon wouldn't scan so she had to call her manager over.  She then explained the same story to her manager who scanned it with the handheld scanner.  It said to enter the amount, and she entered $100.00 and walked away.  As soon as I saw her type $100.00 I threw one last compliment out to her, and about the same time the screen said $-2.81.  At first I figured it was going to give her problems as it has in the past when my total was negative and they wouldn't allow the transaction to go through.  But this cashier GAVE me $2.81 plus the FoodSaver!  Hahaha I have never walked out of a store feeling like such a fucking hero, and I credit it all to my bulk meat

Other than that I also got 3 SodaStreams, plus probably every single flavor they have.

I then finished off the day and stocked up on cleaning supplies.  6 Bottles of Lysol, 6 Tubs of Clorox Wipes, and x4 6 Pack of Bounty Paper Towels my total was less than $15.  I did have trouble with the ziplock coupon it wouldn't scan.

Post by: purplelotus on January 07, 2013, 05:00 am
@zeke: you are my hero... mother fucking got paid to accept a free Foodsaver machine!

Also the ziplock coupon works fine for me, and I use it regularly at multiple locations.  That's one kick ass story, but damn what does a dude need so much soda for?
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: zeke on January 07, 2013, 05:17 am
Yeah I have no doubt the ziplock works, I ran out of regular paper and only had cardstock and it kinda smeared so I am betting thats why.

I am giving 2 of them out as gifts, and keeping the other one for a project.  I am not a big fan of soda, but I do love carbonated water and koolaid.  Plus I do a lot of volunteer work with children so any sort of new activity helps!

I'm back to report on what i've used so far.
Worked:
Starbucks frappuccino
dr. scholls
lays
coffee mate

Didn't work:
Kindle Fire
Xbox live 12 month

I went to 3 staples, 1 office depot, and 1 best buy with the amazon kindle coupon, and it didn't work at any of them. Staples flat out rejected it, and they said the coupon wouldn't go through in their system at best buy and office depot. I guess they probably also figured amazon would send me a kindle if i won a free one. I only tried the xbox live 12 month thing at walmart, and the lady immediately knew it was fake. she said they got tons of those around christmas. I just pretended someone scammed me into doing surveys and signing up for stuff to get the coupon. Do that many people already have the HC collection? or do you all live in GA? I definitely printed them right, cause i could scan them and the info was correct.

My requests for the HC update would be Wii U coupon, and a coupon for all nintendo games for the wii u(you should disguise it as a nintendo club give away. Seems pretty convincing to me). Thanks! I'll have to try the xbox live 12 month at like a kmart or target like you guys are saying.

Hey there, PL.  Has anyone requested a coupon for beef jerky?  With festival season a few months a way, it would be nice to stock up without breaking the bank.  Those Mountainhouse just add boiling water meals are pretty fantastic as well.  Three or four bucks off each of those would be amazing!

Love the juicer coupon!  Think I might have to go for a few more from the HC edition one of these days.  The food saver has been looking awfully tempting as well...

I haven't tried it, but have you checked to make sure that the numbers on the coupon UPC match the card you're getting? There's a few Visa cards with different numbers.

It's time for me to get new vitamins, I usually always get this 44pack of Animal Pack vitamins. They are usually found at vitamin stores and stuff, anyway you could make a coupon for those? They cost something like 35-45. I would think vitamin stores would be lenient about coupons also, just my hunch feeling.

Ooooo yes, I second a coupon for beef jerky.
Jack Link's is so damn expensive, almost 6 bucks for a few pieces of jerky. I believe their manufacturer code is 17082.

Yay for coupons!!

On another note, when you guys go through the self-checkout, do you scan the databar or the older barcode. I find at Walmart at least, when I do the self checkout and scan the databar, it just takes the amount off and doesn't even prompt me to put the coupon in the little slot (I do anyway just to not arouse suspicion), but when I scan the old barcode, it always prompts for cashier assistance, so now, I just cover the old barcode so it doesn't scan it.
Does this happen to anyone else?

     So a few days ago I went to the nicer Walmart in my area. I had with me only the coupons I was going to use, as well as enough cash to pay for everything if I needed to for some weird-ass reason. I had a list of all the items I needed when I realized that I had the PS Vita coupon printed off with me. I thought, "Hey self. Try this bitch out." so I did. I went to the electronics section, asked for a PS Vita, and handed the lady the coupon. She said she'd never seen a discount that large before, and called over the CSM. I waited patiently and smiled whilst making small talk with the cashier. The CSM arrived, looked at the coupon, and was reading the fine print. She said she wasn't sure about it, and told me to wait while she went to the back and talked to management. So I waited. After about three or four minutes, I began to worry. I was fairly certain that I couldn't get in any trouble, because in theory, I could have had no idea it was fraudulent. I began going over scenarios where shit goes bad. The worst part was, I had my significant other with me. I didn't want them involved in any of this. I started to get slightly sick in the stomach. I love this person more than anything in the world and it would kill me if any ill circumstances befell them due to my actions. After a total of around ten minutes, the cashier and the CSM returned. The CSM said that she wasn't comfortable with accepting the voucher for that high of an amount. She mentioned that she didn't know anything about the validity of that coupon. She handed me back the voucher and told me to come back the next day when their Accounting Manager would be there. I said that I'd probably take it to a different store, and thanked her for her time.
     I began my assignment of procuring the items on my list that we needed at home. After about thirty minutes and one full-ass cart, we approached the checkout. The lady who helped us ring up all the items was very nice. We discussed some football, as well as some things about her daughter. After about three minutes the cart was empty. The total on the screen was up there. I thought to myself: "I got this." and handed the cashier a fat stack of coupons  victoriously. There were easily 30 coupons, plus a few from the Sunday paper, as to minimize suspicion. Every single coupon rang up correctly. There wasn't a single coupon that was not verified by the machine. My new total was something to be proud of. The cashier said that she had to call the CSM over to check it off. Then it hit me. I'd saved over $100. I had just shown the CSM a debatable (as well as sizeable) coupon forty minutes before. Shit.
     Now let's stop here for a moment. I am fairly good-looking, I dress professionally, I communicate professionally, and I have an eloquent tongue. I'm an imaginative and intelligent individual. But at this moment in time, I couldn't have felt like more if an idiot.
     The CSM was handed the coupons and said "I've never seen anything like this..." and began to read the fine print of EVERY COUPON. She asked the cashier if the scanner accepted all the coupons, to which she replied "yes."
   As the CSM is reading all of these, I'm loosing my mind. We're back to what had just happened less than an hour before. All of a sudden, she tells the other CSM who had also been called up to "Go get those other ones." Go get those other ones. What the fuck does that mean? I felt like everything was spinning out of control faster than I could grasp the wheel of reality. The CSM who had previously left was now approaching with thin, colored paper in her hand. She handed them to the other CSM who flipped through them and then shook her head from side-to-side. I got a good look at them. They were other fraudulent coupons. They had been printed out at home on colored paper and cut apart. The top one that I saw was 85 cents off a can of beans. I immediately knew they weren't ours. I felt relieved. The CSM explained that they had recently come up short in the register because of those coupons. She said that they didn't want to accept any print-at-home coupons without their Accounting Manager present. I said that's fine, and I left with only a few items in my cart (namely the ones without coupons that I needed.) I also made sure to take back the coupons so they wouldn't have them to check later.
     From this trip, I learned multiple things:

1) DO NOT GET COCKY. Stay below $50 a trip; flying under the radar.

2) If you're after a big ticket item, don't use coupons for anything else in the store if you have to get stuff. This will reduce suspension on the legitimacy of your large coupon.

3) Don't put others at risk because of your actions.

4) Learn from your mistakes; don't make the same one twice.

     Learn from MY mistakes too. Don't do what I did. Now that I've shared my anecdote, let's talk about general good practice advice, as well as (hopefully) answer some questions.

     Coupons that end up in the register are sent to Mexico to be sorted and verified. Are the coupons sorted as to which store they originated? In other words, if I used a coupon and it was sent to Mexico, could it be determined what store it was cashed at? Someone who used fake coupons before me had obviously been discovered, but how? Were the coupons discovered to be fraudulent before the left the store? Or were they discovered sometime after that and then sent to the store to use as examples of what not to accept? That also begs the question as to how far down the line our coupons make it. If they're discovered at a store level, they could be rejected from the store/copied to use as examples of fakes. If they're discovered farther down the chain and they can determine which coupons came from where, then the store could be notified to reject those coupons. If they can't tell where the transaction involving that coupon took place, then we're all much better off. If anyone knows the answer to any of these questions, I'd love to know.

Stay safe guys.

I felt like everything was spinning out of control faster than I could grasp the wheel of reality. The CSM who had previously left was now approaching with thin, colored paper in her hand. She handed them to the other CSM who flipped through them and then shook her head from side-to-side. I got a good look at them. They were other fraudulent coupons. They had been printed out at home on colored paper and cut apart. The top one that I saw was 85 cents off a can of beans. I immediately knew they weren't ours. I felt relieved. The CSM explained that they had recently come up short in the register because of those coupons. She said that they didn't want to accept any print-at-home coupons without their Accounting Manager present. I said that's fine, and I left with only a few items in my cart (namely the ones without coupons that I needed.) I also made sure to take back the coupons so they wouldn't have them to check later.
     From this trip, I learned multiple things:

1) DO NOT GET COCKY. Stay below $50 a trip; flying under the radar.

2) If you're after a big ticket item, don't use coupons for anything else in the store if you have to get stuff. This will reduce suspension on the legitimacy of your large coupon.

3) Don't put others at risk because of your actions.

4) Learn from your mistakes; don't make the same one twice.

     Learn from MY mistakes too. Don't do what I did. Now that I've shared my anecdote, let's talk about general good practice advice, as well as (hopefully) answer some questions.

     Coupons that end up in the register are sent to Mexico to be sorted and verified. Are the coupons sorted as to which store they originated? In other words, if I used a coupon and it was sent to Mexico, could it be determined what store it was cashed at? Someone who used fake coupons before me had obviously been discovered, but how? Were the coupons discovered to be fraudulent before the left the store? Or were they discovered sometime after that and then sent to the store to use as examples of what not to accept? That also begs the question as to how far down the line our coupons make it. If they're discovered at a store level, they could be rejected from the store/copied to use as examples of fakes. If they're discovered farther down the chain and they can determine which coupons came from where, then the store could be notified to reject those coupons. If they can't tell where the transaction involving that coupon took place, then we're all much better off. If anyone knows the answer to any of these questions, I'd love to know.

Stay safe guys.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to fill us in on your experience. Getting nervous and having mini heart attacks is understandable in situations like that, I know it's happened to me a couple of times! I've had cashiers almost forensically examine the coupons, multiple managers called over, they've asked me to let them keep the coupons, it goes on.. but the worst that has happened in the end is a simple "Sorry, we cannot accept these." When managers have asked me to let them make copies of the coupons, I simply say I'm not comfortable with that or I don't have time because since they won't be accepting them, I am now in a hurry to go buy my groceries at another store. I've had no issues leaving any or all merchandise behind when coupons are rejected. Also, there have been several occasions when I've mixed newspaper coupons in with these coupons, that these scan fine but the newspaper ones give the system all sorts of issues! lol

To address some of your questions...
Yes, some coupons can be verified in store. Most of the ones I've seen from coupons.com have a veri-fi logo, a dot-scan barcode, and a numeric code under the dot-scan barcode which can be typed into their website for instant verification. I imagine however, that this is a rather time consuming task for large stores such as WalMart and Target, so not all stores do this. In the event that this were something a particular store did, that would be the first point in which they could be verified or flagged.

All coupons have the address of a clearinghouse in El Paso or Del Rio where they are sent for processing. The coupons are sorted according to coupon product brand and store redeemed at since each store must still be reimbursed. A total is calculated and sent to the manufacturer, who then writes a check to the stores. So it is possible for the coupon to be detected before leaving the store, but I imagine it is far more likely to happen after being sent out.

And yes we all know the CIC has a database of fraudulent coupons, but being such large and busy stores, they hardly bother with keeping updated with this list- it really is massive! It would take an eternity for a cashier to go through all the coupons on the CIC list and compare to the ones the customer has. We are not the only people using these things, many other people are making, distributing and using them as well. Particularly awesome coupons like the Visa Gift Card ones do get flagged and a memo sent to various stores in the even of a particularly large influx of the same coupon but this really doesn't happen with say, a milk or cereal coupon.

Hope all of this helped and put you at ease some. We all get turned down sometimes. It's mostly no big deal, just take your coupons and walk away.  8)

@dashnsah: The only time I am willing to hit a store twice within less than an hour is when I try to use an HC coupon first and it gets accepted with no problems and no manager. Then I feel pretty good that by the time I get to the front register with all my groceries that no one is any wiser or aware I just used a HC coupon. If the HC coupon gets rejected, then I simply move on, because now you have a CSM roaming around who just saw you try to pull off the HC coupon. I guess this is redundant as it sounds like you learned the hard way by having the worst possible scenario play out.

Good for you for handling it so well! I hope to hear your next report as being a successful one. Yes, safety and common sense most be applied at all times.

Hey guys, I want to begin by saying that these coupons are fucking awesome! haha, hope this can continue for a long time. I believe the Chobani coupon as well as the Sara Lee bread coupon both need to be updated. The UPC's for both have changed (at least in my area) so that they no longer scan. If anyone else could confirm this that would be great. Those are two products I buy pretty frequently so I've noticed the change.

As far as additional coupons I second the beef jerky request. I would also love to see coupons for pure protein bars, Digorno pizza, Guacamole (any national brands?), and Athenos Feta cheese... Just throwing those out there. Keep it up PurpleLotus, you da man ;)

I've had incredible success with these coupons and get better and better with them all the time.  I will agree with the previous mention to stay under $50 (although I'd say $60, since this is the coupon limit at Walmart without CSM approval) for those who are new to couponing.  However, those have been around the block a few times, you can reap high rewards for doing things right. 

For example, I decided I want to stock up on some things so I headed with my stack down to Target.  Filled my cart to the brim with everything I had a coupon for and my total bill before handing my stack over was about $260.  First coupon scanned was for Red Bull which came up as an error on their system so the manager came over and checked it out.  I started worrying at first, hoping they didn't print out wrong or something, but she kept scanning other coupons and down went my total.  Crest mouthwash didn't scan either, so after they took that off and all the Red Bull I had, I ended up owing her just under $40.  My receipt stated that my total savings were about $200.

The manager was extremely friendly about the coupons not working only stating that he believed it just wasn't in their system yet.  As you will see with many others, Target is definitely the favorite to use the coupons at, especially since you can get up to four of the same items with four of the same coupons and can even use store coupons on top of the coupon you have if you really want to get close to zero.  Go to their website and check to see if they have any coupons listed before your trip to increase your savings, which also makes you look more legit by having something other than e-centiives coupons.  As always, be polite, well dressed, and be prepared for any circumstance, good or bad.

These coupons have made my life exponentially more enjoyable and I'm already planning vacations with the money I have saved.  I've been mainly a lurker on this forum for months but felt the need to share my success and attest that PL has better customer service than most corporate stores and always makes time to reply to you as quick as possible.  I've saved $1000+ so far, so stop buying drugs for a second and get these, you'll be able to buy more with the money saved! Going on another run today with a buddy to use as a second shopping cart, and I intend on doubling my previous savings  8)

TL, DR: Target is the shit for these, I've saved tons of money with little trouble elsewhere, buy these now.

I had the cottonelle come up fraudulent a couple weeks ago at a kroger but the girl kept scanning the others and they were fine. I'm glad she didn't decide that the others "wouldn't be accepted" because of one bad apple. But i'm guessing it might work at other stores still. But i was surprised since it was freshly given it's new update. I love this new update too so many new ones :)

Xbox live 12 month

I went to 3 staples, 1 office depot, and 1 best buy with the amazon kindle coupon, and it didn't work at any of them. Staples flat out rejected it, and they said the coupon wouldn't go through in their system at best buy and office depot. I guess they probably also figured amazon would send me a kindle if i won a free one. I only tried the xbox live 12 month thing at walmart, and the lady immediately knew it was fake. she said they got tons of those around christmas. I just pretended someone scammed me into doing surveys and signing up for stuff to get the coupon. Do that many people already have the HC collection? or do you all live in GA?

I'd be happy to help if you still need it. I was successful today with a ps3 at kmart, I ordered those authentic stickers and it worked well. It was printed in color on regular printer paper, definitely not a pro print job at all you could see lines if you looked for just a little, but my story was that like you said before you got one for xmas and for the warranty you filled out a survey and was then mailed this award.

kmart is definitely the place to go, the associates where so nice. I think it has to do with less people go there and that they dont sell food so it makes it less stressful for the employees and thus easier for us to use in our evil evil ways. haha not..about the evil part, well maybe but.

I'll test those dre ones pl if you want. Next on my list is the rca tv.  Ill also be trying the vita tonight at target, the add for the ps3 looks more legit than the vita to me because of the margins on the right side of the vita one are pretty small and make it seem sketchy to me.

Thanks once again.

No problems with Tide or Hanes for me, I just haven't tried the Duracell yet. I'm hoping to give it a go this weekend. If you have any issues with coupons, I'd try using them at a different store. For example, the liquid Tide doesn't work for me at Target but works just fine at WalMart.

Hey guys! me and my friend hit up a bunch of stores, and took your advice of not going to walmart (especially for hc stuff). I still go to walmart for under $50 stuff cause at my walmart you can scan the coupons and put them in the box yourself without anyone's approval which is nice. We went to 1 target, and the vita one just wouldn't scan at all. I think it was just their scanner though, cause the barcode scanner app on my phone worked... went to another target with the xbox live one expecting them to recognize it as a fake again, and it worked... they said they weren't sure if it would work or not, took us to some lady at the customer service counter who scanned the wrong barcode and said it was invalid. I just asked her if she scanned the right one, so she tried the other one and.... it worked.. O_o we kept our poker face until we got to the car, then just both started screaming and laughing for the next like 15 mins. I think we'll give the vita another shot at another target, cause that scanner may have just been malfunctioning. I went to one publix where the cashier congratulated me on my coupon, and told me to come back when they had a buy one get one free deal and use it again ;) love it when you get the nice people. The xbox live one alone almost paid off the amount of the HC and standard collection for me :D Loving the starbucks frappe coupon btw. probably my most used one.

My first HC score was an awesome day. I decided to go on a HC run for the day. Printed out some coupons I wanted to try and then took off. Stopped at Office Depot first and decided to try the free $50 VISA coupon... got some young kid who called a manager and she was older and very sweet. The coupon scanned but the register would not let it go through because it was a free gift card. The lady was so nice and apologetic and really quite obviously gullible so I made a play I normally would not have and I stuck the VISA coupon back in my pocket and said "Oh yeah and I have this other coupon" which was $150 off a WD 2TB External HD... the actual HD was $149.99. I went and grabbed the HD and went back to the same older manager and she scanned it and congratulated me because my total was $0.00. First time I ever got something completely free to the point where I didn't have to reach into my pockets! Immediately ran to Best Buy, returned the HD for store credit since there was a new phone I wanted which cost $150 at Best Buy with a contract upgrade.

Then used the FREE Visa coupon at Best Buy. Success. Went to Target and used the $50 off Skullcrusher over the ear headphones. Then went to K-Mart and used the $150 off Nintendo 3DS, which I gave to my nephew just to see him happy. Let's see I know I'm forgetting something from this spree... it was a good run.

The best part about coupons is all the FREE or HUGE Savings, but a very close second is that rush you get when you pull off some big savings. The rush alone is worth the cost of the listing in my opinion.

Swiffer Refills

Hey kitkat - got a lil Swiffer tip for ya here.......

I do not know if PLs coup for Swiffer is for the pads or the "juice" because im set for life on both.

Here's why.

On ebay they sell "Re-usable" swiffer pads. They are essentially elastic cloth socks that go over the swiffer. When they are dirty, use that Tide coupon and wash them in the machine. They are not "as good" as the real deal Swiffer pads, but save a damn tree or something would ya? ;)


The Swiffer liquid refills AKA "The Juice" - After you have one that is empty (or a few) boil a small pot of water.

Make the water deep enough to be able to fully submerge the white "cap" on the juice.
Boil water.
Submerge white capped head in to boiling water (hold it there) for 5-10 seconds.
Remove immediatly.
IMMEDIATLY (while still hot) use a oven mitt to twist off the cap, like a 2 liter of soda.

**BAM** Profit!

Once you "break the seal" once. You will be able to open and reclose your Swiffer liquid refill anytime.

Needless to say you then buy bulk cleaner, dilute it in to your Swiffer refill...and presto - "free" Swiffer refills for life!

I have about 15 Swiffer liquid refills all refilled and label with something different.

What other coupons can I make that are geared towards vendors? I have a really sweet full page ad for $100.00 of a Ninja blender that's almost complete. You can see my progression with Photoshop, it took me fucking forever to do though.

@subsandaddy: Thanks for stopping by and praising the work, I'm glad you and your family like it.

The brand new $150 off Beats by Dre on ear headset full page ad is now live in the HC collection. Can't wait to see who pulls it off first!

YEAAAAA Buddy!!

Just wanted to add to your question "if you could have only three things from original coupons list what would it be?":
1. KY Jelly
2. Kleenex/or Towelette
3. Resolve Carpet Cleaner
P.S. If I could add one more to that list, it'd have to be the coupon for a pack of Camels  ;)

Hey guys! me and my friend hit up a bunch of stores, and took your advice of not going to walmart (especially for hc stuff). I still go to walmart for under $50 stuff cause at my walmart you can scan the coupons and put them in the box yourself without anyone's approval which is nice. We went to 1 target, and the vita one just wouldn't scan at all. I think it was just their scanner though, cause the barcode scanner app on my phone worked... went to another target with the xbox live one expecting them to recognize it as a fake again, and it worked... they said they weren't sure if it would work or not, took us to some lady at the customer service counter who scanned the wrong barcode and said it was invalid. I just asked her if she scanned the right one, so she tried the other one and.... it worked.. O_o we kept our poker face until we got to the car, then just both started screaming and laughing for the next like 15 mins. I think we'll give the vita another shot at another target, cause that scanner may have just been malfunctioning. I went to one publix where the cashier congratulated me on my coupon, and told me to come back when they had a buy one get one free deal and use it again ;) love it when you get the nice people. The xbox live one alone almost paid off the amount of the HC and standard collection for me :D Loving the starbucks frappe coupon btw. probably my most used one.

Congrats on your success with the HC collections as well as original! I just wanted to chime in and add that the PS Vita wouldn't scan either at two stores. It comes up as manufacturers cpn. but then won't scan to pull up the amount. The two woman cashiers and CSMs were apologetic and told me to call manufacturers and come back if I figure it out.

Good News is that I went 5/5 on Free $25 Itunes Cards in 1 hour and 5 minutes time. (This is a new record). I also went to Bed Bath (you know the rest) and used vacuum sealer coupon along w/ soda stream. I also had a 20% coupon from them...total was $16 for $250 worth of product which I then in turn, went to and returned to a store nearby I knew sold em' and received not a gift card...but CASH. Free money. I couldn't believe it.

I also decided that since I obtained so many gift cards that from now on, for every 2 I obtain, I will be donating the 3rd one to a charity such as toys for tots or some organization of that nature. Gotta keep the (real) karma up and pay it forward as PL has paid it forward to all of us.

Post by: oblonsky on January 11, 2013, 12:35 am
So let me ask you all a question. When you are out on the town making out like a bandit with these coupons--OC or HC--how do you pay? I've made the mistake of paying for a couple of smallish (less than $30) transactions with a debit card but I'm thinking it's a much, much better idea to pay with cash. It was stupid of me to use a card. It's just I typically don't carry much cash on me and typically pay with a card when I buy stuff, but here I reckon that if one were to pay with a credit or debit card it's possible that the fraudulent coupon could be traced back to you. What do others here think? Have others paid using a card or do you try to use strictly cash when paying?

Also, at CVS or Rite Aid or wherever, do you scan your value card or not? I've made that mistake too. Fortunately it's only been a couple of times for small transactions but still it leaves a trail where I can be tracked down. Bad idea I reckon.

Anyway, I'm going to plan on only using cash from now on when I use these coupons. What do others think about this? PL--what about you? How bad of an idea is it to pay with a card?
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: testmessage on January 11, 2013, 12:39 am
It used to be considered common knowledge in previous threads, but you should ONLY USE CASH. It's the only way of ensuring anonymity. There have also been reports of people who used cards getting charged for the value of their coupons weeks or months down the line, which is apparently how some stores handle this issue.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 11, 2013, 12:47 am
@testmessage, you are right it's best to use cash, but there has NEVER been a report of anyone getting charged after the fact when using their card. If that has ever occurred then no one told me about it.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: oblonsky on January 11, 2013, 12:53 am
Yep, I was just being stupid. Thankfully, I haven't used a card for any substantial transactions plus I only have the OC coupons. Haven't used a card for anything over $20, which is still extremely stupid of me but I won't use a card with these ever again, nor will I use my value card either. I haven't used my card twice at the same store though so I'm lucky. The issue is I'm just not used to carrying around much cash so usually when I buy groceries or go to CVS or Target I pay by card. But before anyone calls me stupid (I know I was stupid!!) I won't make the mistake of paying by card or using a value card or anything. I've only paid by debit twice at two different stores and hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt me but I damn well won't do it again.

Are there any horror stories about people getting caught or or arrested for paying by card and getting their door knocked down by the FBI or anything?

@testmessage, you are right it's best to use cash, but there has NEVER been a report of anyone getting charged after the fact when using their card. If that has ever occurred then no one told me about it.

It was probably a couple months ago, but someone did make a post in the last thread claiming that "their friend" had his card re-charged for the full amount a couple days later.  I didn't believe it at the time and still don't..I've worked retail and that's very shady and downright illegal in most cases.  A store is usually not even allowed to re-run a credit card with the customer present if they can't physically swipe the card again and definitely need a signature to do anything like that.

*edit: anyone been using the protein powder coupon?  can't find it at Target so I went to a freshly opened Walmart and it came up as "coupon not matching item" or something like that (same upc, even the same damn flavor as the pic).  two of the other didn't work either but I had used them before and know they both ring up fine two days earlier (they were coming up as something like "coupon use exceeded" as if I had already used them during that transaction or ??)...fucking Walmart.  could the EAS protein shake coupon be tweeked to work for their powder if you're ever bored PL?  I am done fucking around with Walmart's fucked up computers.

Post by: bigndn on January 11, 2013, 02:30 am
I will try the protein powder tomorrow I had some left so I didnt try it yet.I should have got it since I practically begged you to make it.

The headphone coupon looks great!

I tried the battery coupon and worked fine and I am not having any trouble with any coupons.
Once in a while one may not scan at target but will scan at walmart. I think I have maybe 3 like that and I know he retired one of them, the Simply Juice. My bread coupon dont work at walmat but works at target because the UPC. One of the juice UPC was different at Target and didnt work there but did at WM. So the coupons all do work just have to match the first 5 numbers.

On the Hanes if you will save the UPC on the ones you buy to reattach them it makes it easier. They sell 3 a huge variety of Ts, undershirts and briefs so you do have to look through them sometimes to find that UPC and often they go quick for some reason?lol I am trying the Hanes again socks and underwear. First tine sock purchase but the undershirts and underwear work fine.

So I love these coupons but I always have some fears and have a question for anyone who might know the answer or who perhaps has thought about this before themselves. Hypothetically speaking, what are the legal consequences of getting caught? It may depend on the jurisdiction and of course the circumstances but I guess depending on the value of the merchandise, are we talking about either petit or grand larceny here? Fraud? Conspiracy of some kind? Obviously, if for whatever reason you wound up being apprehended by LE and interviewed you would remain silent and seek advice of counsel, but for everyone's security does anyone know what the potential consequences could be and what charges could be brought? I think it would be worth it for everyone to be mindful of and assess the risks and consequences of using these coupons to determine if you are willing to take on that risk. So any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 11, 2013, 03:48 am
Here is some insight, if LE grabs you, tell them "PurpleLotus taught me!"

People use fake coupons all the time without ever knowing it. Just don't be stupid and make yourself look 100% guilty and it will remain a non-prosecuted crime. You really have to be an idiot to get in trouble, and we have seen plenty of idiots by nw and still no one in trouble.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons

Damn dude im jealous! lol awesome run it sounds like. 

If i may ask what stores did you get the itunes at?

PL the new coupon for the ninja looks ill. Cant wait for that and any other new HC ones your working on to be added to the collection.

I went for an OC run today.

So i picked a new target i have never used. And actually this is only my second trip to target i believe.  So i did my shopping, put all of the following items in my cart in hopes of using coupons plus a few other things beside that.

Bolthouse smoothie
3 General mills cereals
2 ben and jerrys
2 haagen daas
bounty paper towls
dove body wash
garnier shampoo
and a couple other things i think im prolly forgetting.

So the store was pretty dead, basically 2 registers open with a person or 2 in line.  I had the choice of a young nice looking girl or a kinda nerdy lookin doofy guy. Having my pretty gf with me i chose the dude. BTW she is totally down with the whole coupon thing and told me i need to kiss PL for hookin us up with these things. Anyways back to the story haha.  So dude rings all of this up, and it comes up to 85$, then my gf proceeds to hand him a fat stack of coupons.  He goes to scan the general mills one first and cant get it to scan. Im sitting there thinking god damnit i totally was looking forward to those cookie crisps, why this one!!>>?? But then he instead types in the code, -2.50. Sweeet i think to myself.  He proceeds to type the rest of the GM ones in and they all work no problem.  Then the stack quickly diminishes, the ones that wont scan simply get typed in.  By the time he was done we were down to about 32$  Man i love the feeling when you get that receipt and just feel so victorious.

Anyways...Tmrw i am going on a HC run finally, hopefully.  Actually i think i needed tonight. It kinda boosted my confidence using a normal cashier as opposed to the self checkout i been using at walmart. Man target is the bomb!

Had a small grocery run last night, it was the first time I fully stuck to just purchasing items that I had a coupon for.  Total ended up being $54.36 before coupons.  After coupons my total was $3.25, looking back at the receipt it looks like the cashier scanned a few coupons twice.  When she was scanning them it kept saying on the screen "Correct Coupon Amount" or something similar then she had to press a key on the keyboard.  She scanned a few coupons before noticing that she had to hit enter and then went back to try to correct it.  Ended up having 14 coupons on 10 items.

Thought of some more ideas for various coupons:
Space Heater
Portable Fan
Portable Radio/Boombox
Soundbar
HDMI Cables
****Healthy Meals Lunch Express microwaveable meals UPC is 50100.  I believe they are $2 or $3 but I eat them like crazy at work.  They have a sweet & sour chicken that is amazing!
Bagel Bites
It would be hard to pass off and I am not sure how safe it would be but what about a remote starter for a vehicle?  I have been eyeing the Viper SmartStart lately, they have 3 different models a $300, $400, or $500 model.  I want to go with the smartstart as it is controlled through your phone and you don't need an additional dongle on your keychain.
Mouthwash
Body/Face Lotion

I'm digging the Ninja coupon!  I will for sure be going out to try to snag one of those.  A friend has one and it rips through everything!

Just ending a great night with couponing...lol -Never thought I hear myself say couponing as I probably never used one before getting these collections. Never had my freezer so full with frozen foods either. lol

Anyway, went to my local byob strip joint tonight with my boys. My girl calls me around midnight saying she wants to go food shopping at the 24hr walmart for her mom. I am about 10 beers in at this point and tell her I'll go only if I can stop at my house to get some coupons. So lady friend picks me up at the gogo- she cool like that but will not use the fake coupons.  ??? :o

So I hit walmart with fist full of coupons, pretty fuckin drunk and hungry after smokin a blunt(coupon) on the way- feelin froggish so I fill cart with nothing but shit I probably don't need and typically wouldn't buy but have coupon for--about 30 items.

Go to registers, my girl goes first with her full price items. Only one register open at 2:30 am or she would have went to the register  furtherest away from me..lol She don't wanna be associated with the guy fleecing walmart ???  She is attractive w/ huge tits - I wanna get her onboard to pass some of these HC coupons- these high school dudes workin the electronics in Kmart after school would have a hardtime speaking let alone give her a hard time over a voucher I'm thinking.

Girl at register swipes the coupons and I think she got wet in the process-- She said "I gotta get me some of these coupons"

Lightbulb went off in my head! Get her# give her coupons for some inside info and go to her register exclusively with HC coups etc. Has anyone had success teaming up with person behind register?

The CSM came over because 3 coupons wouldn't scan because the value was over price of item- CSM told me they can't pay me to take items form store-lol is that walmarts policy?

27 out of 30 ain't bad.

next christmas we should set up a PO box to send shit to then donate to needy- I might just start leaving the baby item coupons under the items to pay it forward since I don't need them. I have told cashiers I got the items from purplelotus.com in the past- but have yet to give you the due credit for teaching me...Thanks my dude!

If you could only have 3 coupons from the original collection, which three would it be?

1. Trojan Condoms
2. Horizon Milk
3. MyoPlex protein shakes

Yours?

Horizon Milk
Swiffer Refills
Amy's products

So does this mean we don't have to use a condom, kitkat? I'm down.

@The Advocate: sorry for coming off cranky last night, I was seriously intoxicated lol. It's not something I can change though (tor download speeds I mean, I could always not get intoxicated lol)

@bigndn: That's a good idea and we have that and much much more in the works. Got several blender coupons in the works. We shall see which ones actually get released.

@brutefrce: remind me again what a diaper genie even is so I know what I'm looking for... seeing as how kitkat will soon be giving birth to my offspring, I am suddenly more interested in this idea.

@JDank: I wish I had thought about your Christmas donation idea sooner. If we are still going next Christmas then I will definitely set up a P.O. Box for that reason and collection donations, take photos of the actual donating of the stuff while somehow still not revealing my exact location. I think that would be really cool of us.

Thank you for relocating with us AAAARRRRRGGGGG! Glad to hear you are still doing well. You, or anyone else who has been gone for awhile, can always message me personally to get caught up on the latest news.

Let's see... SR administration banned my vendor account and said some things... I won't go into that, but after going back and forth I was able to get them to reinstate me and agreed to do things a little bit differently in regards to my listings and forum thread. As a result I had to recreate all the listings and retire the old forum thread.

Then a week ago I released 68 new coupons into the original collection which you can find now, assuming you have the most recent link, if not then message me for it.

Finally getting to the regular collection.  Everybody's done a great job with tips on how to get them accepted but I need some tips on preparation.

Mainly, what kind of paper do you all suggest printing on?  I have access to quality color and b/w Laserjets but any particular brands, types, or thicknesses you guys find work better for you?

Regular paper is fine, color is optional, I personally use only black toner, but I must admit they really look awesome in color if you can afford to print them in color. I only have a B&W printer myself.

I even do my HC couponing in B&W and have been rather successful with them.

I've been using high quality glossy brochure paper printed in color double-sided. Why double-sided? I don't know. It seemed the easiest thing to do without leaving the back of it blank. They look pretty good, if I may say so myself.

Anyway, because I tend to be paranoid I was doing some browsing on the interwebs about fake coupons and I found some interesting, if not also scary, things. I've seen a bunch of you out there comment on the Coupon Information Corporation, and indeed if you browse their list of fake coupons many of PL's coupons can be found on that list. Now, I don't know how widely shared that database is but they are aware of PL's fake coupons.

Moreover, there are all kinds of scary stories like this one:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/20/robin-ramirez-amiko-fountain-marilyn-johnson-40-million-counterfeit-coupons_n_1690095.html

here's a pretty old youtube video about fake coupons:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdtOQXCmagA

And this was a kid posting fake coupons on 4chan who got charged with wire fraud and counterfeiting. It says he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9216640/Student_charged_with_posting_counterfeit_coupons_to_4chan

Hey--look don't get me wrong. I love these coupons. But there are inherent risks here and everyone should be aware of them. Getting caught is a very serious crime and could lead to steep jail time. You can always play innocent if questioned but, Ignorantia juris non excusat. Be careful ESPECIALLY with high value coupons.

Sorry to be a buzz kill.

I sent a message asking oblonsky to remove that post. I'm hoping he does and then I can remove this one too. This is the short version of what I would say if it was not removed soon.

1. Me and RX change all of the information anytime a coupon is reported to the CIC. The CICs list is not used at any retailers and basically amounts to garbage, but we like to keep our coupons clean. The last time we did this was on the last EXP update. RX was on vacation the past two weeks and I was working on the 70 new coupons I released so anything reported in the past 2 weeks may not yet have been addressed, but regardless it would not matter and the coupon would still work fine.

2. WHO CARES if someone was arrested for producing $40MILLION worth of free coupons? That doesn't effect any one of us!

3. Yes some kid was arrested for distributing coupons on the clearnet. Even my listings warn against doing something so stupid in the description. If it were not for Tor and SR, and I was still stupid enough to do this, then yes I would be in jail right now too. How does this effect my customers though? It only serves to scare them.

Please don't post stuff like this. None of it is relevant to any of my customers and their personal safety. Of course we take safety very seriously but no one here has done anything close to what you are bringing up (except me, and I'm my own man who takes his own risks that no one else shares).

Thank you and I hope to see that post and similar ones gone and please let's stick to review or if you must post a news story, let it be remotely close to what we are doing here.

I agree, I don't think anyone using SR at all needs to be told of the inherent risks.  Especially not here.

Ok, back to what matters. I have never used color printing. Everything I do is in B&W. No real reason other than the cost. I have a color printer right now but it's kind of shitty. I thought I had a new one coming a few weeks ago, courtesy of a friend, but that has since fallen through. This has left me pricing printers and you can currently get a HP printer for $9.99 at Target, provided you use PL's $20 off coupon.  Regular price is $29.99. That includes color and B&W ink and is actually way cheaper than just buying the ink.  Make no mistake, I've had great success with both collections in B&W. I just want to take it to the next level and I think full color and some other touches will help me out. I can only imagine how sweet these look in color.  Bottom line - Though each of us have our own preference and ideas of how these should be done it seems to make little or no difference. As I've said before, it's all about your confidence in it, and having a cool cashier never hurts either 8)

In response to the "warning" post-Not necessary.

*Although I'm sure @oblonksy did it with the right intentions, those reports are not only outdated, but also disparate in regards to PL, RX, and the customer base here. Everyone here makes their own decisions on using the collections-Freedom is the glory of SR. It's highly suggested that you know your approach and actions (as PL mentioned above). We don't need those posts but @oblonksy, I am not putting you down, just making you and the community even more aware.  8)

Yes, I made some tweaks and removed the duplicate Horizon coupon along with retiring the Sara Lee Bread coupon and now I will be working on a better bread alternative coupon.

What happened with the Horizon is that both me and RX made them at the same time... we have since refined our distribution of work process so that doesn't happen, but ultimately they both ended up getting tossed in on the last update when one wasn't meant to be included. If you have the old version, then throw away the one titled Horizon (also can be identified as the one with two cartons of milk instead of one in the pic)

I wonder what would happen if we had an COUPON CONTEST! Where we see who could get the largest amount of savings onto one receipt in a 24 hour period! We could have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prize. (I'm kidding, sometimes my jokes don't come across well, but it's fun to think about).

I can't speak on the issue. It was an issue that never had any business being in this operation but none the less sneaked in... It's all good now though and won't be an issue moving forward. If it works for you, then it works for you and I normally would say keep going with it, but I honestly believe this is one of those you only want to keep using at places it works for you. Milk.jpg is golden everywhere, so it is what it is. We work hard to fix any issues which leak through and we pride ourselves on perfection but 1 in 100 times a mistake gets made. This one is now fixed.

Hi PL!  Been busy but had to come by for a quick visit.

Coupons are all still working fine here...

Today I woke up and had Starbucks coffee with Horizon milk,  a couple Chobanis, glass of POM and some pistachios for breakfast. Had a shower with Dove soap and Axe shampoo and put on some Old Spice deoderant. I'm listening to internet radio on my Roku, and printing out a few coupons with free HP ink.  Tossed a few Cliff bars and Maui chips into my backpack for later and I'll soon hop into my vehicle that has Shell gas in the tank with a Cruzer flash drive in my pocket. 

Tonight I'll have Gorton's fish for dinner (Hey PL, figured out how to do that without killing myself!) and a pie for dessert made with the Keebler crust.  I'll also be doing the laundry with Tide and Downey sheets, cleaning up with Bounty paper towels and Clorox wipes and I won't even mention using the Cottonelle. 

Everywhere I look, all I see is Purple.   Dude, you rock!

Tried the new Beats $150 off at Best Buy and it wouldn't scan, then they told me they couldn't take it because they couldn't verify it.  Then I had a buddy try to pass it at Target and it scanned for 5 cents, then they tried it again and it scanned correctly but said it was over their allowed coupon limit so they couldn't take it (that's the story my buddy gave me, not sure about the whole truth in it)

Great idea! I have been meaning to check that out plus one of my favorite things to do when I need to cheer up is go coupon shopping. The savings with these coupons are great and we talk about it everyday on this thread, but what is also awesome but never gets the credit it deserves is the rush I get when using these coupons. I'm sure absolutely everyone knows what I'm talking about.

9:35pm - was really itching to do a few coupons.  Debated internally with myself whether or not I reallly wanted to go out in the rain and chilly weather and decided Hell Ya!  So I dragged my female companion out into the night air and headed for our local Tarjay!  Everything scanned perfectly - had 19 mins to closing when approaching the cashier which turned out to be in our best interest because her only thought was the local bar she was getting ready to visit after her shift.   Dove, Horizon, Clorox, Tazo and Keurig Cups an easy $55.00 for just under $5.00.  She did comment what good coupons these were which I quickly asked her  " who was she going out with tonight! "  That was enough to distract her to lose her train of thought and simply bag me up!  :)

Back home feeling gratified!  Hopefully we can get an earlier start tomorrow and hit up some of the higher priced items.

yea arnold makes a lot of different types of breads. they also have a line of bread with double protein (14g per 2 slices i believe). Extra protein doesnt hurt, especially when i am eating it with my egglands best eggs, oscar myer deli meat, or the peanut butter. lol

Swiffer Refills

Hey kitkat - got a lil Swiffer tip for ya here.......

I do not know if PLs coup for Swiffer is for the pads or the "juice" because im set for life on both.

Here's why.

On ebay they sell "Re-usable" swiffer pads. They are essentially elastic cloth socks that go over the swiffer. When they are dirty, use that Tide coupon and wash them in the machine. They are not "as good" as the real deal Swiffer pads, but save a damn tree or something would ya? ;)


The Swiffer liquid refills AKA "The Juice" - After you have one that is empty (or a few) boil a small pot of water.

Make the water deep enough to be able to fully submerge the white "cap" on the juice.
Boil water.
Submerge white capped head in to boiling water (hold it there) for 5-10 seconds.
Remove immediatly.
IMMEDIATLY (while still hot) use a oven mitt to twist off the cap, like a 2 liter of soda.

**BAM** Profit!

Once you "break the seal" once. You will be able to open and reclose your Swiffer liquid refill anytime.

Needless to say you then buy bulk cleaner, dilute it in to your Swiffer refill...and presto - "free" Swiffer refills for life!

I have about 15 Swiffer liquid refills all refilled and label with something different.

Oh yes, I also use the dry reusable cloths!

The only actual swiffer brand disposable cloths I buy are the wet mopping/scrubbing ones .  I use both sides and even rinse them out in hot water to get them to last for both the kitchen and bathrooms.  I don't have the fancy system that squirts the cleaning solution anymore.  I think my ex got that in the divorce, believe it or not. Oh well, that's life.

I am all about saving trees for sure, I do recycle paper, plastic, glass and aluminum, but I have to splurge on my swiffer wet mopping cloths.  Nothing else manages to get the floor so squeaky clean.   :)

I do most of my other cleaning with vinegar and baking soda, save for the occasional magic eraser.

Anyone else having luck on getting money back at stores?  Last week I posted how I got a few dollars back at K-Mart when picking up a foodsaver.  Today me and a buddy hit walmart up for some groceries and only took coupons that were worth more than the item themselves in an effort to get our items that we really needed for less money.  I got to the checkout and got turned away due to my coupons being printed too small and there was a huge line behind me.  I got to the car and waited for my buddy.  Once he arrived he began laughing his ass off and said that they paid him almost $15 in cash back.  I didn't believe him whatsoever since I figured Walmart would be the last place to give money back.  He showed me his receipt and sure enough the total was something like -$14.50.  I've noticed that if you hand a stack of coupons to the cashier they don't look at them all and more so just scan them.  So as long as the UPC on the coupon matches the UPC on the item you can get a different item that costs less.  We used the $6 off any 24oz bottle of POM coupon on a 8oz bottle of POM.  We also used the $3.99 off 75Count of Clorox wipes on a 35 Count clorox wipes package.

After doing this me and my buddy were talking about coupons that are worth more than the item themselves.  It would be nice to compile a list of which coupons are worth more than the items themselves.  I know I use this tactic frequently when purchasing items that I truly need to get the total price lower.  A few that I know for sure off the top of my head are:

BIC - Find the cheapest BIC stationary product.  For me it is a sack of mechanical pencils.  I believe they are $1.14. - $3 cashback
Clorox Wipes - This only works if the cashier doesn't read the coupon.  The 35 pack of Wipes is around $2 - $2 cashback
DownySheets - This only works if the cashier doesn't read the coupon.  The 75 or 80 count is around $3 - $2 cashback
Duracell - Get the smallest pack of batteries, for me it is around $4.  $3 cashback
Frito Lay - These are around $6. $2 cashback
HanesComfortBlend - Get the cheapest pack of T-Shirts, for me it is small boys white t-shirts around $4 - $3 cashback
Mucinex - Get the cheapest Mucinex item, the various children's mucinex items are around $7. $3 cashback
Ozarka - Get the cheapest pack of Ozarka Water, around $1 - $3 cashback


Also PL a few more ideas for additional coupons:

Air Filters for a central air system
Bleach
San Disk memory cards
Claritin or Zyrtec
Sharpie Marker Products
Linksys Router - Preferably the higher dollar ones that can stream media.  I need to pick up a handful for a project.

From my experience w/ the HC coupons at Target, their limit is $50.  I got the $50 off ATT gophone and free $25 ATT minutes card to work, but when they ring up the 12month XBOX live coupon it scans properly, but then gives the "coupon value too high" error.

I've been smashing on the SW gift cards at Walgreens, but I think they've finally caught on.  The other day when I went in, they told me an e-mail had been sent out informing them that they were fake :/  Oh well, at least they got me where I needed to be over the holidays :)

I've had the best luck on the high value coupons @ Tarjay. I've found it's best to actually check out in the electronic systems area (if there is one) and their limit isn't $50...their coupon policy says that it takes a CSM approval to ovverride their policy of a coupon worth 75% or more of the price of the item. I have obtained a PS3, wireless controller, Nikon coolpix, & a wireless headset from different tarjays...each coupon was over 75% worth price of items. You just have to be nice and influence the cashier to call the CSM over (most likely will have to anyway) and they have all been super friendly and accepting. Maybe just my charm?  ;)

Been a weird day for couponing. First trip was to a Wal-Mart. Nothing big, just a pacl of Pampers, a pack of Huggies, a pack of batteries and a fridge pack of Yoplait. Fucking register jockey was an idiot. Stared at the coupons, started separating them into separate piles and printing out lists of items he had scanned and walking over to my cart to check the items 3 or 4 times. Finally after what seemed like 10 minutes of this his CSM walked over and asked what was wrong. She told him to scan everything, except the pampers because the coupon says 'off one box' and what I had was a plastic wrapped package... The guy still fucked up and tried to not scan the huggies as well after she (the CSM)  had walked away.  I had to argue with him that his boss just told him to scan it and finally he did. Total was 71 cents after I had him take the Pampers off.

Headed over to Target to redeem myself. I had 4 pampers coupons all ready. Carted 4 packs up to the register and they scanned as invalid. Girl called her CSM who said if they didn't scan they could not take them. I walked out. Pretty pissed.

I headed to a different Wal-Mart. Bought an HP ink cartridge and paid at the electronics kiosk. Loaded up 2 packs of Pampers, 2 Packs of Huggies, some Life cereal for my daughter (no coupon =( unfortunately. ), some honey maid graham crackers, and some bread (also no coupon). Cashier scanned all the coupons upside down without ever turning them over to look at them. clicked through the ones that were over the selling price and still didn't turn them over...

Made me feel better. Love it! Purple, you sir are the man. You have made even this currently terrible time in my life bearable and hopefully survivable.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to sound like a colossal weeny when asking this...but....

1. Can you get into any real trouble for using these.

2. Can you use credit cards or is this a cash only type of deal.

3. Should I drive out to crowded locations that aren't near me that I do not frequent often?

1.  technically, yes, but it's highly unlikely.  people use fraudulent coupons without realizing it all the time.
2.  only use cash!
3.  up to you, but it might be a good idea if you plan on using a lot of PL's coupons.

1. Possible but doubtful unless you're pretty stupid. (Don't pull out a stack of coupons that should only exist once, for instance)
2. Best to do cash only
3. Yes. Don't sh*t where you eat. If you go somewhere you're a regular they might recognize you and put 2 and 2 together eventually.

If anyone thinks I'm wrong on anything, please let me know, but that's how I understand it.

As a seasoned veteran allow me to share some wisdom. Ignore the fear mongers.

1. Extraordinarily unlikely. Anyone get's in trouble for simply using coupons will be big news in our circle and you will hear about it here. Any cases of people getting in trouble for coupons involves a lot of money and mass production for profit. You should be fine using coupons. Worst case is being turned down and asshole looks from cashiers and CSMs. (Also very rare)

2. If you are worried, use cash. Do not fear using a credit card. Enjoy your reward points on top of your already great savings. Keep your receipts. If, by some bullshit, they change your total later on, contest the transaction with your credit card company. It is illegal for a business to change the total on a transaction you swiped or signed for.

3. Again, if you are worried or paranoid and it isn't too terribly inconvenient for you to do so go ahead. If you are sticking to big box or busy stores, their volume is large enough that you should have no problem going unnoticed. Months and months of work with these coupons and I use the same stores again and again. I can almost always find new cashiers, only had to deal with CSMs a handful of times and almost never get the same one. I will actively try to re-use cashiers who I have had success with and built confidence that they won't hassle me. Most cashiers and even CSMs are typically just trying to get through their day and if there are issues, they are typically quite apologetic.

Good luck to you. May this knowledge bring you all the joy and happiness it has brought to me.

Looks like these were pretty well covered. I'll add this though. even I have personally put myself into a situation where I came up short on cash and just said fuck it and used my card. Nothing bad happened to me for it, obviously, but it's something I really try to avoid. You just feel safer when you use cash like you feel safer when you place an order with your address using PGP.

I live across the street from a store, obviously I won't say which, but I can literally walk outside, cross the street and I'm inside a store... do I use coupons there? Fuck no... I need to be able to have a store I can use when not couponing.

Those are all good and responsible questions and I'm sure none of us think your a weeny for asking them.

I always just use regular paper and black toner. I'll be the first to tell you success isn't based on printing method, although I must admit color brings a lot to the table if you have the ability. They look great in color.

Can I have the XBOX 12 month? I have no use for any other coupon in the HC collection.. Well.. I can use them.. but cant afford to, and am still getting my jollys from juice, milk, and snacks :)

I would never go around you and ask other peeps for it, and hoped you coulld help me out as a Original Collection member.. Tho I must admit.. I have made my money back in savings and then some.. so I understand if you cannot start hooking us up without paying. 

Just need some fantastical pixel therapy and my digi script is running low..


Also PL, check out capsuline dot com for all your molly bombing needs.. I have a certain cap that is famous around my parts thanks to SR good X source and the pro caps at capsuline!

Would love to see internet coupon codes for amazon or smaller sites tho i imagine that is an entire diff ballgame. Also.. The sugar will be helping me a bunch as I am taking up brewing my own grain liquor. Will still need yeast and corn meal, tho I can manage :)

Swiffer Refills

Hey kitkat - got a lil Swiffer tip for ya here.......

I do not know if PLs coup for Swiffer is for the pads or the "juice" because im set for life on both.

Here's why.

On ebay they sell "Re-usable" swiffer pads. They are essentially elastic cloth socks that go over the swiffer. When they are dirty, use that Tide coupon and wash them in the machine. They are not "as good" as the real deal Swiffer pads, but save a damn tree or something would ya? ;)


The Swiffer liquid refills AKA "The Juice" - After you have one that is empty (or a few) boil a small pot of water.

Make the water deep enough to be able to fully submerge the white "cap" on the juice.
Boil water.
Submerge white capped head in to boiling water (hold it there) for 5-10 seconds.
Remove immediatly.
IMMEDIATLY (while still hot) use a oven mitt to twist off the cap, like a 2 liter of soda.

**BAM** Profit!

Once you "break the seal" once. You will be able to open and reclose your Swiffer liquid refill anytime.

Needless to say you then buy bulk cleaner, dilute it in to your Swiffer refill...and presto - "free" Swiffer refills for life!

I have about 15 Swiffer liquid refills all refilled and label with something different.

Oh yes, I also use the dry reusable cloths!

The only actual swiffer brand disposable cloths I buy are the wet mopping/scrubbing ones .  I use both sides and even rinse them out in hot water to get them to last for both the kitchen and bathrooms.  I don't have the fancy system that squirts the cleaning solution anymore.  I think my ex got that in the divorce, believe it or not. Oh well, that's life.

I am all about saving trees for sure, I do recycle paper, plastic, glass and aluminum, but I have to splurge on my swiffer wet mopping cloths.  Nothing else manages to get the floor so squeaky clean.   :)

I do most of my other cleaning with vinegar and baking soda, save for the occasional magic eraser.

The wetjet. You dont have a wetjet? Kit......GET ONE. they are like $20 and then with the posts above you be moppin for dayssss.....

2. If you are worried, use cash. Do not fear using a credit card. Enjoy your reward points on top of your already great savings. Keep your receipts. If, by some bullshit, they change your total later on, contest the transaction with your credit card company. It is illegal for a business to change the total on a transaction you swiped or signed for.

I dunno, I wouldn't think you'd get anywhere by contesting this transaction considering you used a fraudulent coupon to begin with ....

In my opinion, you should really only use cash when you're using these awesome coupons.

In the few times I have had to contest a transaction, never for coupons, it is a seamless process and generally always works in the consumer's favor. My favorite example, I was at a bar with my best friend. We had a few drinks, and he asked the bartender for one of the special beers from the fridge, something exotic from South Africa or something. When he asked the price the bartender said $7 or something. Later when the bill came he rang it up as $13 or $14. When we questioned him about it he shrugged us off and said "Oh well I guess it was $14." We were pretty miffed, we hadn't been assholes to him or anything and couldn't understand why he would be such a douche. Called the CC company on the walk to the car to tell them what happened. We were advised to dispute the charge, and since they couldn't dispute a portion of the bill, only the whole transaction we wound up drinking for free that day. Never a question from the company after our explanation.

Now most cards let you do it online through your transaction summary. Click on dispute charge, fill out a few boxes, and wallah. Again, I have used my CC many times while using coupons. I was apprehensive about it at first, but at this point I am pretty fucking confident it is not an issue. I keep receipts and check to make sure regularly that nothing changes and it never has. I also do not have the luxury of having many stores a reasonable distance away to travel to without making an hour or more trip. I have about half a dozen which I hit repeatedly. They all have high enough volume that I never worry about recognition. I also take the time to know their policies and try to stay off radar as best I can. If there is ever an issue where I feel they might remember me, I take a week or two off from that location before returning.

At Wal-mart as long as you use less than $50 in coupons in a trip, they don't call CSMs. This is important to me, because if everything scans right better than 9/10 of cashiers will not give you any problems. Also I have heard any coupon over $20 requires CSM approval, although I have not tested this without also going over $50 total, so I cannot confirm it. Still working out Target's policy as I was turned down yesterday for the Pampers coupon. The price of the item was $9.49 and the coupon was for $9.50 so that may have been the issue or they might have this coupon flagged, I can't know for sure at this point. I may try again sometime this week with a higher price package to find out.

Hello Everyone,

Just downloaded the collection and I have a couple quick questions.  How many coupons per sheet do you print?  I did 9 and while they look great and easy to read they seem a little small.  Also have a droid phone with Scanlife app, when I scan the printed coupons, they scan but it doesn't find anything in the database.  Is this just the app, do I need a different one or am I just wanting to confirm they scan at all.  Thanks for the help.  I'm so ready to go shopping :)

Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 14, 2013, 04:16 pm
Yeah 9 sounds like it's way too many and would be a little small. I only do up to 4 per page. Also with that particular app it won't find any actual information but the fact that it scans at all means you are g2g. An app like CouponDecoder for iPhone will actually tell you the information found inside the coupon but so far there is no comparable Android app that I have found.

That's interesting and yes sometimes it happens that a random store or location will get tricky with their UPCs so it's always best to check them first when dealing with HC coupons but often that's difficult since many of those items aren't accessible to you before purchase. If I were you I would go try a different store because if you are the only person to ever have that issue and you only encounter it at one store then no I'm probably not going to do anything about it, especially since you probably already burned the Kindle bridge at that one store in question. If I get multiple reports about it then I'll address it, but I've never seen a Kindle with that UPC or heard about one until now.

Just realized I was very unclear. The Kindle fire HD itself had a UPC that started with a 4 I believe. The coupon has the itunes giftcard upc.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 14, 2013, 06:23 pm
Ah ok, well the UPC on the Kindle HD coupon is the exact same one I pulled off the Kindle Fire HD in my city. I went into the store and got it and just did a check online and it's definitely a valid UPC for a Kindle Fire HD, however it's possible they also use multiple other UPCs in different areas or at different stores. Unfortunately I can only make a coupon for the most common one found since I have no way to tell for sure what other UPCs might exist and where. MOST products do not do this with their UPCs and they remain constant, but every now and then you find one that does this and I have no way to tell for sure until someone reports it to me.

I'll make a trip at a different store and see what numbers I find this time, but I know several people who have passed the Kindle Fire HD coupon already so I know it's working for people. You just have to do your best to look and see if you can spot the UPC on the item and that it matches before presenting the coupon. I would also bring other HC coupons with me in case I found the Kindle did not match, atleast I could try something that did. Again, this issue is not common, but does occur and is one of the main reasons for always checking your UPCs with the HC collection.

I can't set a precedent where I start reworking single coupons for people when it seems to be an isolated issue, all of us I'm sure would prefer I spend my time doing work that will be beneficial to the most people at a time.

Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: miker914 on January 14, 2013, 06:36 pm
I'm going to redownload the HC collection and see if somehow I have an old updated expiration one.
But on the coupon I currently have downloaded with fresh expiration it definitely has a 85909 UPC instead of the 48719 which is the Kindle's UPC (on the product - double checked on a few websites for that).
Will update once I redownload to see if that was the issue.

Edit: Redownloaded and the kindle coupon shows 85909 still. Is an update on the server necessary? Do you have a fixed one locally perhaps but not on the server? Or are you saying that (the 85909) is the correct UPC that should be on the coupon?

I think a few pages back i posted about my issues with the kindle fire hd coupon. I went with my friend to like 3 staples, 1 best buy, and 1 office depot with the kindle fire hd coupon, and it didn't work at any of the stores. Staples doesn't accept manufacturer coupons apparently, and they said they just couldn't get it to scan at best buy and office depot. I think the office depot even tried to enter the numbers on it manually and it still didn't work. I haven't had any issues with the other HC coupons which leads me to believe it's just the kindle fire hd one. Thanks for the hard work, hopefully this is fixable.

Alright, well I'll get into the store tomorrow when I have some free time and double check the UPCs on my end. Is it possible they have a different UPC for different models of the Kindle Fire HD? That's one thing I haven't looked at or had anyone tell me specifically which Gb model they tried it on.

Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: miker914 on January 14, 2013, 07:55 pm
According to bestbuy's website they all have the same manufacturer ID part of the UPC.
Can you verify the UPC that you have for the Kindle (and on your copy of the coupon)? You might not have to waste time running out at all to check them.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on January 14, 2013, 07:59 pm
The 85909 is in fact the one I have which I pulled off a Kindle Fire HD at a Best Buy. I want to go to a few stores to do some more HC recon anyway, so I'll try to stop tomorrow and see if I can't pull a couple Kindle Fires, even if I have to bullshit an employee to show them to me.

Ok first attempt with grocery coupons, epic Fail.  Picked out about a dozen items at local Kroger..  Cashier rang them up, handed her the coupons.  Now she scanned the first one for the bounty paper towels and it worked no problems.  However, she voided that said exscuse me and went to talk to csm.  CSM comes over and asks where I got the coupons, said no idea spouse got them from one of the extreme coupon sites.  She says these are fake, we've had some of these in here before.  I said even though they scanned without incident?  Fake, won't except.    I said ok and simply left.   Try again either tonight or tomorrow.  Does anyone have suggestions on which stores to avoid and/or which ones work.

I have not seen any store, even Walmart, have as many issues as Kroger. I personally don't have Kroger's in my area or I would probably be more aware of their antics, but yes it seems to be a common occurrence that Kroger is a douche. I would stick to Target, and also test the water at your local Walmart since most Walmart's seem just fine to a lot of people. Also test out your local/regional stores by going in with 1-2 coupons and just get a feel for them. Always read the coupon policies if they are available, as many of my6 local stores have rules that you would never know about without reading and that will effect how things go when you hand over the coupons.

I'm also 99% sure they had no way of knowing if the coupons were fakes and had never seen one of my coupons before. I'm willing to bet they have just received generic e-mails about counterfeit coupons and to deny anything that meets certain criteria.

N00b here, wanted to share my 1st 24 hrs with the purple glasses with anyone still on the fence.
1st attempt: 2/2 POM and tunes gc both scanned at the 3rd attempt.
Then, apple TV worked w/o even a blink from cashier, free CODBO2 failed 3 times, "never seen anything like this, lemme get CSM" every time, CSM turned me down. Beats in ear shot down. "walmart doesn't give stuff away, plus there's no hologram".
and subway GC turned down at CVS, CMS told me "We don't accept coupons, go to subway"
bottom line, they all scan (except CODBO2 failed to scan at all 3 locations) but CSMs are being A-holes about outrageous coupons.
To the CSM who posted here earlier, what would convince you to take these coupons?

By popular demand I just finished two new O.C. coupons, $6.00 off Jack Link's Jerky and $6.00 off Monster Energy 4 pack. They are now live and in the root until I get enough new additions to justify a new zip.

I will be addressing the other requests as I have free time and uploading them as I finish since I'm really not shooting towards a huge O.C. release right now. My HC work is going slow but steady, unfortunately my partner in crime seems to be M.I.A. on me the past several days after we last spoke so I'm not really sure what to say about him and the work he has been doing, but rest assure he is ok, he is just having some other stuff that has to take priority for now.

You are a KING, PL!  Jerky Jerky Jerky, it's gon' be in my tuuumy!  And money money money it'll stay in my wallet!  Sorry, a little giddy and a little sleep deprived.  But seriously, I survive on jerky at festivals and that shit gets expensive when you're buying pounds of it.  With the incredibly pure and dirt cheap MDMA on here combined with the outrageously amazing work you're doing this is going to be a hell of a summer!!!   I don't have too many coins in my account at the moment but I'm heading over there to send a tip your way now.  Keep up the fantastic work!

Just writing to say that I used the coupons last night at a local Walmart, and most of them worked no problem.  The ones that didn't work, seemed to only not work because we printed the coupons too small, and the clerk couldn't get the machine to read the barcode.--I saved around 30.00 on my first trip. 

I used it again today, at a different Walmart in the area, and every single one that I brought worked--saved another 24.00.   

This service worked great for me so far, and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.  It is probably some of the best money I have spent on the road. 

I would like to make a request for a couple coupons that I know I could use, and figure a few others could use as well:  Just throw them on your list, and whenever you get around to them, I would be happy to toss you some gratuity. 

Heinz Ketchup
A1 Steak sauce
ground meat, turkey or beef
Stouffer's frozen meals
Mio (water flavoring) or Crystal light (these two have gotten outrageous expensive)
Bags of Nestle or Mars candy
Chex Mix

Keep up the good work!!

The following changes have been made:
Swiffer Refills has had it's expiration date updated in zip #1
SoftSoap has had it's expiration updated in zip #3

Special thanks to our good friend Shroomeister for pointing that out to me, normally I'm not in the business of naming people who msg me, but if you go check out his vendor profile http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/b5698f6c44 you will see why I am making an exception here.

Also by popular demand and because I had a little free time I have added coupons for a few fast food restaurants:
Free Whopper at Burger King.
Free Combo at Chik-fil-a
Free Combo at McDonald's

I will be working on some new fast food coupons soon too.

Went out Sunday night for a couple of hours to do some general shopping and had absolutely no problems.  PL I am a big fan BUT my girl wanted to make sure you knew she too is a big fan and defiantly has been converted to the PL coupon way of shopping.   She is now talking about what to do next and getting better quality paper to print on.  Everything and I mean everything scanned with these latest updates.  Tide Pods, K-Cups, Tazo, Horizon, Silk, Eggs, Dove, Cottonelle, Bustello and Dove Deodorant.  Saved about $100.00 in coupons about $35.00 in each of the three stores we visited last night.  These have saved us countless dollars and can’t wait to expand our comfort zone and try out some of the other products and maybe a few from the HC.  Defiantly have found that keeping the orders smaller and under a certain amount have made for an easy transaction as well.

 

Thanks again man for all your hard work!

HAHA you are welcome my dude!

And I would waste time making a BK coupon that looked exactly like a real BK coupon, except I think BK is fucking disgusting. I'm going to work on a really nice custom TacoBell coupon next, since I love some Tacobell. Those 3 were coupons from the old collection which people really liked and kept asking for, so I changed the expiration dates and rereleased them for that reason and for those who only have the new collection but wanted some fast food coupons. My next adventure will be making my own soon.

@VISAHATE: Glad you have someone to coupon with! It's a luxury I have never enjoyed, but I imagine it's a lot of fun in twos. I'm still trying to get kitkat to make a run with me.

PL, one small request... I have checked at every store I've been to in my area (12+ stores, several of which were Walmarts) and I cannot for the life of me find the Bounty Select-a-size in exactly a 6 pack. I've found singles, 2-packs, 8-packs, 12-packs, but never 6 for some reason. Could you make a version of that coupon that says something like "6 pack or greater"? I've been having to actually pay for paper towels, the horror....   :o. I even tried it on once since the UPCs were a match but got shot down on that particular one because they do actually pay attention to the quantity around here.

All that said, this coupon pack continues to change my life. I've been able to take the SO on dates for the first time in months with the extra savings. You da bomb.

I hope you still have Blu E-cig refills on the menu, I'm helping a bunch of friends quit smoking and that could be just the thing. But I know you're a busy guy and I already can't thank you enough. Big tip coming your way once I find a good deal on BTC :)

Also looking forward to hearing some success stories on the new fast food coupons... Wonder how those will pass with no UPC or anything to back it up, it seems like pretty much pure social engineering required there if you run into problems. Chick-Fil-A employs 15 year olds sometimes though, so maybe they just won't give a shit. And I'd REALLY love to fuck that company as much as possible for hating on gays.

Hey, I haven't purchased yet, but I gotta say: I've looked through every page of this thread and I can't thank everyone, especially PL enough for providing so much insight and help on using these coupons. I plan on purchasing the OC set later on today.
These are going to make my life so much easier when I move to NYC, I'll be able to live off a few dollars a week and still have leisure money :)
I have no doubt that these will work out great for me, and I plan on purchasing the HC set later on this week after experimenting a bit with these. The city I live in is perfect to reap the benefits of these coupons, we have a super dead K-Mart and every other store you can think of.
My sister is having a baby in a few months and these coupons could really help her so much too.
 Thank you PL for creating this wonderful thread. Can't wait to give you my money! You better believe I'll be around on these boards as well :)

Alrighty then round 2.  First stop a dollar general, manager shot it down saying these are fake, and offered me corporates number and said to tell them that the MANAGER wouldn't except.  Really rude about it.   So moving along to Target, after first two attempts (Kroger, Dollar General) struck out I must say I was a little gun shy at this point.  So grabbed 3 items at target, cashier rang up scanned first two coupons no problems but the glad trash bag one wouldn't work, she checked to see it was right product even tried keying it in no luck.  No biggie she voided trashbags,  so an overall success.  Headed down the road to Walmart grabbed some socks, kcups, soda stream flavoring, redbull  No problems at all.  Tried a local grocery store who said they did not accept printed coupons for over $1.  So second trip to a different Walmart,  I can finally see a good thing from having walmarts every 10 miles lol.  Grabbed a dozen items including new beef jerky and once again no issues no problems .  Between the three successes I saved just under $65!!!  PL you are my new best friend :)  next time I get some btc I'll be eyeballing that HC collection.  So to recap boys and girls, fuck kroger and long live Target & Walmart.

The fast food coupons are pretty easy to pass. I have versions for Arby's and Burger king that look like the Chik-fil-a one. Our stand by line when we get to the register, "can i use this on any of combo or just the one in the picture?" they stare at it for a minute, sometimes get a mgr. Only once have they given me the default combo for whatever place I'm at. Always passes, always delicious.

Best one: Was at a BK trying it out for the 2nd time, we order our stuff. Kid and his mgr and pouring over the machine, "im sorry about this, it will be just a second. Yea, IDK man, I can't even find the button for this coupon. I'll just use my mgr card, do you mind if i keep the receipt so i can staple the coupons to it?"

You gotta remember who you're dealing with at fast food. 16 and 17 year old that give no fucks.

I jumped through all these damned hurdles to fund my account last night and get these... turns out I'm .03 BTC short to buy the HC collection... FML

Anyhow, I got the OC, and I can't wait to get into them, very few places around here will look twice at any coupon. I know, my wife is a legit couponer. Me, I'll be a coupwner  ;D

PL, I was looking through and noticed the K-Cup coupon references "Pringles, LLC". Unless Pringles owns Kuerig, I think you missed something there.

Once I do get the HC, and manage to score a visa card, I'm gonna head to the local grocery store, buy one of their giftcards. Then proceed to their gas station, prepay for that amount with the GC, then pump .01 and proceed to collect the balance in cash.... I used to work there, they can't refund their gift cards so they give cash  :D

Thanks for the great work PL

Sony coupons rang up invalid in 2 different BB... I asked them repeatedly to scan the other barcode (which my coupon decoder identifies) but their system didn't pick up anything.
Flirted with a young cashier at a local grocer, she overrode the miss-scan on the visa GC.
Flirted with a young cashier at office depot, she did not over ride a miss-scan on the shell GC.
Lunch at chick fila was on the cows.
Cashier at near by pharmacy didn't even attempt to scan just gave me a subway GC.

Hmm, are you sure you are checking the UPCs, especially on the GCs? If the UPCs match there should really never be a miss-scan. As far as the Sony coupons that is a UPc I'm rather sure is universal to us all and not one they mess with... did you happen to be at a Target or store which otherwise may have a policy in effect that would prevent that particular coupon from working? I know it won't work at Target, but that's the way target deals with coupons over $50.

UPDATE: Never mind, just saw you said it was BB. Did it happen to be the VITA coupon which gave you problems? Not sure why but a few people have had an issue with that one, while others have gotten it to work... not real sure what the deal is with the VITA or if they are using multiple UPCs on it yet.

Sure, send me a message on SR and request one cample HC coupon of your choice. Don't pick the VISA coupon, as it has lately become one of the least successful because it was really the only coupon most people were using. Doesn't do me any good to give out a sample of the least successful coupon, the idea is for you to be successful with the sample and then want to buy the whole pack.

Yes it was BB and it was the vita, same upc as all sony, I triple checked... gonna check other sony ones tomorrow (too bad I covered all BB in my area) :) Also triple checked the gas and visa ones, the visa one I opened one up b4 just to make sure its the right number and not 7675x which seems to be all over the place, the gas card matched, my coupon decoder scans the "current" bar at up to $101.01 off, the depot's system didnt recognize.
Also Kmart disappointed  me when not accepting the rokux2...
And again I did get the visa card, the page looks legit.

Did you try messaging him again? probably just got lost in the mass of emails he gets every day with suggestions for new coupons and other people asking for sample coupons. I would understand posting here after trying to contact him multiple times, but if you only sent one message and immediately came here to complain... that's a bit ridiculous man.

Yeah man, I'm sorry about that... generally the only messages I miss are when I go to open them, SR times out on me, and then I can't get back in so I say fuck it and walk away and then forget to respond whenever I do get to log back in. I certainly never just ignore anyone on purpose. It could be any variation of a similar situation to the one I just described, but it certainly was not intentional and if you would send me another message I would be glad to fill your request and even give you a couple extra for the trouble.it would almost sound like I'm saying this since we are talking in public right now, but ask anyone who knows me, this is how I conduct business even one on one.

@bio: that is for the cashier to write down the total of how much the free item was.

@vandalax: they aren't giving you a hard time, they are talking to the person who said they made a request and I never responded to them. They aren't giving him a hard time either, just taking up for me. Anyways, send me a message on Sr and if you want some suggestions on which to try I will give you my opinion in a PM and get you some samples.

Ok, so now that I've cleared that up I want to tell my coupon story for the day. Apparently even I am vulnerable to failure with the original collection... this is a new one for me. I go to a store which I frequent on my shopping sprees, I have a bunch of coupons but have used them at this location before so I know this is going to be a piece of cake with no chance of me having any issues. Fill my basket up and the only item I do not have a coupon for in my cart is a 6 pack of beer. Double check my items and coupons, since I hate when I forget things... and then go get in the line I think is best based off of profiling the available cashiers. I'm next in line so I put all my shit on the belt when the cashier suddenly has to go and so they send a manager to check me out... that's fine I'm not worried about dealing with a manager, I've done this plenty of times before. Except this time the manager, to my surprise, is someone who knows me. Well it's one thing to pass these coupons off to complete strangers but it's a whole different ball game when the person knows you, even though she doesn't know me well, and the name she knows me by isn't even my real name, but none the less I simply don't have it in me to hand her the coupons and at this point I can't figure out a decent excuse of my I no longer want the items. Now that I've been able to think it through I could have just said I forgot my money or some shit, but ultimately I just froze, let her ring up the stuff while I pondered it and then finally just paid full price. FUCK paying full price!

The most successful coupon I ever made was for the ROKU 2, without a doubt. I released it as a preview of the HC collection when I was working on the HC collection and had mroe than a dozen people confirm it as working before I was able to release the collection. It's not the prettiest, since many of my full page ads look awesome, but it's by far the most successful. To say a dozen people confirmed it right away, means a dozen people confirmed it... that's nto counting the people who have over 8 ROKUs from it. That's my opinion of the most successful coupon, since it was the coupon the most people went out and gave a try. By the time I released the collection, the FREE $50 VISA coupon became the most successful coupon by a large margain because that's the one everyone wanted, it was wanted so badly and used so often that it even made some stores and some areas send out mass e-mails warning against it, as a result I no longer would say it is the most successful, as it was once SO successful that it now suffers from diminishing returns.

If you bought the HC collection the day it released, you were one bad ass mother fucker who was doing as good as anyone who could print money. That was one exciting time, and I hope to bring it back again soon, but ultimately it was the VISA coupons which were so HOT and the rest of the HC collection still remains just as useable today as it was on day 1.

Fuck paying full price indeed!
Wanted you to know that you scored,well WE scored an omega juicer today,GODDAMN those mother fuckers are expensive.
I thank you sir.
By the way...Any news on maybe creating those R.W Knudsens or Santa Cruz  organic juices and the applegate organic products?
I would gladly TIP the very jar that I suggested and helped mandate here for all the cheap bastards who save thousands from you and never pay it forward.
That reminds me.....You have a nice tip coming anyways,fuck it. ;D

Grats on your juicer man, it's a fact that you deserved it!  As far as R.W Knudsens or Santa Cruz  organic juices go I really am not familar with those products, so maybe if I knew more about them I'd be more inclined to make a move on them.

Pour me a class of juice and let's have a toast to all the savings to come!

How do I continue to get negative karma? I haven't had to fuck anyone up or hand them their ass in 2013... back in 2012 that sometimes became necessary in order to protect our community, although not always handled with the most tact by me, I have since made a New Years resolution to be more sensitive when handling opposition/thieves/trolls/idiots... Is Limetless really just sitting there counting down his 72 hours in which he can give me -1? Or maybe NickMode finally reached enough posts to be able to give Karma... nah, that's unlikely. Oh well, fuck it, it's the haters who pushed me to where I'm at and continue to motivate me to do more.

@shrek: Yeah, they got those here. I rarely go there, do they even accept coupons? Actually if I knew they accepted coupons I would even go do an entire recon trip just to whole foods. I'm a fan of their products, and despise their prices.

@T4B: Yes I will take care of that for sure. The fast food coupons are the only ones which were not made from scratch by me, but people kept asking for them so as an afterthought I decided to toss them in there.

Ok, so I'm thinking it might be interesting to make a small set of additions geared completely towards Whole foods and similar stores that sell items we don't always find at Target/Walmart. I have a few suggestions already but if anyone wants to add any requests then please let me know. If I walk into Whole Foods this weekend to do recon, then I'm likely not going to really know what it is that my customers want the most from them.

Post by: nitpi950 on January 16, 2013, 04:31 pm
I know PL has a fine rep here, just to give my experience with the vendor as is the obligation of any SR member:

PurpleLotus offered a free sample of his coupons, and I inquired and demonstrated my interest. He responded by inviting me to pick one. I informed him of my selection, and never received a response. Long over a week ago now.
Did you try messaging him again? probably just got lost in the mass of emails he gets every day with suggestions for new coupons and other people asking for sample coupons. I would understand posting here after trying to contact him multiple times, but if you only sent one message and immediately came here to complain... that's a bit ridiculous man.
Like I said, was not complaining, just sharing my honest experience. I generally only message someone one time; otherwise it gets to the realm of pestering. And I feel like it's unnecessary anyway since unread messages are flagged and all.
well he probably just forgot because he was busy dealing with actual paying customers...any vendor w/hundreds of positive reviews and page after page of people listing their positive experiences w/these coupons for the past 6 months has no reason to be giving "samples" since half the people on here who ask for them are just mooches (though I'm sure he would anyway since he's a nice guy)
Like I said, it was he who offered the sample. Again, not complaining, just saying what happened. Seems like people can't grok this.
Yeah man, I'm sorry about that... generally the only messages I miss are when I go to open them, SR times out on me, and then I can't get back in so I say fuck it and walk away and then forget to respond whenever I do get to log back in. I certainly never just ignore anyone on purpose. It could be any variation of a similar situation to the one I just described, but it certainly was not intentional and if you would send me another message I would be glad to fill your request and even give you a couple extra for the trouble.it would almost sound like I'm saying this since we are talking in public right now, but ask anyone who knows me, this is how I conduct business even one on one.
Ah yeah I can understand that. I've been lurking long enough to know you're a stand up guy, nothing personal. And thank you for handling it like a sane and tactful human.

Alright, I think I'll just pull the fast food coupons for now until I can make some higher quality ones myself.

@m3bimmer: ok ok, I'm sorry you had to ask me so many times. I'm just slow to make a coupon which already exists in a different size, but I plan to fix up the bounty coupon today to allow for different sizes and I'll also make your coupon, but how much do you want it to be off for a 16oz?

Post by: TechKnow on January 16, 2013, 06:14 pm
I have to disagree with PL on the VISA $50 GC. It has been my most successful coupon to date, mostly because I've tried it the most. My current record in around 30-40 days is 15 tries and 10 passed. All you need is a good personality and come up to the register with a overly nice attitude and the rest is luck of the draw on who is behind the counter.

If they question it I tell them that I did 4-5 hours of surveys to get it. One time a manager came over and said "oh yeah, it's just one of those free gift card coupons" and manually entered it.

Keep up the awesome work PL.

Post by: griffin420 on January 16, 2013, 07:24 pm
I'd have to agree as well the visa' s still work its all about presentation and who you decide to take as a cashier.
When the HC collection came out I reached up over a dozen in the first two days and continued getting them on occasion thereafter. 
As far as the other HC I have successfully passed all HC that I have used.  I've never been turned down for a roku I have gotten 10+.  The PS3 and the rca tv were a bit more difficult but passed them none the less. 

I wanted to thank you PL for making the updated amazon coupon.   I picked 2 of these up yesterday, only paying taxes on them.  Both times no manager approval necessary, though you do need to set talk them a bit. 100% acceptance rate, though I ended up only getting 2 for 4 at the stores I visited.  This was because at 2 stores the system simply wouldn't accept the discount.  Going to pick up a couple more today.

So to sum up the HC collection, buy it.  However be sure to prepare a story, dress nice, don't talk in slang.  If I was a manager who would I trust to present legitimate coupons?  Not a scruffy looking individual but an upstanding member of society.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks again PL

Thanks PL. The fast food ones do pass, just a few times I had trouble with it saying Los Angeles. I did have the Chick-fil-a pass many many times, then a manager came over and said they had been contacted by corporate that they were not an authorized coupon.

I don't have a whole foods by me yet, but I have heard one is coming. Otherwise I'd help out with recon. Any progress on any of the automotive coupons we had talked about a while back? I am in the market for some new wiper blades, and most of us buy oil and tires from time to time...

I feel bad when I ask for things as you have already and continue to do so much for us (customers and me personally). Just trying to add to the discourse and bring up ideas that others might appreciate as well...

Announcement: For those of you who are suddenly unable to post on this thread, it is because SR started a new policy last night where new users must have 50 posts in order to post on the regular forums and now can only post in a new "newbie" section. I really dislike this because many of my posters and reviewers had less than 50 posts. I'm sure there are many of you with less than 50 posts who have been long time members of the forum and supporters of my thread and the only reason you are now under 50 posts is because I had to delete my old review thread. I am extremely sorry for that!

They did this in an effort to prevent spam bots, which I'm sure many of you have noticed was a problem on the forum. What I am going to do is ask SR administration if I can setup my own review thread in the Newbie section so that everyone can continue to participate and we can just bullshit around with each other to help everyone who is interested to reach 50 posts quickly. It's unfortunate but I understand many of you don't have the time to grind out 50 posts just to be able to leave reviews for your favorite vendors, this really sucks and I'm very sorry this is effecting our community in a negative way.

Whole foods can be tough. It's not really a 'coupon' kind of a place. And they don't carry a lot of national brands. mostly small scale organic/natural food (overpriced mostly but some really good stuff) brands. most stores have local brands to their region also. many things that have no coupons. certainly going to raise eyebrows with a stack of coupons at the register.

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=108360.0

Comes join me, I did this so you can work your way up to 50 posts but on a topic you actually gave a crap about, instead of having to make 50 posts on completely nonsense which is about all there is on the newbie thread. Please come kick it with me and let's have some fun so we can get you up to 50 posts and back onto the official thread. Also if you want to share your experiences with my listings for the newbs to read, please do so! We can do things just like we do here, except feel free to make more posts even if they aren't really relevent, because after all, goal #1 is to reach 50 posts.

Very happy you mentioned the Santa Cruz. First time I've seen someone other than myself mention them at all.
Any time I go to whole foods I spend well over $100 and I usually just buy meat, seafood, and maybe some santa cruz lemonade when it's on sale. Can definitely see you spending that much there.

@Shrek: I had to ask RX the exact same question! WTF is New Chapter?! I still don't know man.

Trying to make a pretty sweet fucking set of additions to the HC collection tonight, thanks to RX joining back in with some support. May or may not get it finished and live depending on how it goes, but knowing me I'll probably get it done tonight. Just polishing off my Ninja coupon after some feedback and then I will be uploading them and announcing the list. It's not going to be like the OC list I recently added, but we have decided to go all FULL page ads now so it's taking considerably more time to make an add than it does an OC coupon.

New Chapter is a non-GMO vitamin and supplement company. A jar of 48 One A Day tablets cost $39 normally, but was on sale for $29, and there was a stack of coupons from the supplier for $4 more off, and with PLs $9 off, I paid $16. Worth it. I haven't seen the brand at any of the big box stores.

I also buy the Flaxseed oil in the vitamins refrigerated area and a plethora of healthy body products such as tom's of maine,Jason products,and their own brand of 365 products which I'm not really sure if coupons CAN be made for those.....but yeah they accept the POM,Amys,annies homegrown,and horizon coupons so If I could at least get my bill down to 200 or lower....It would make all the difference in the world,HELL...I could start really using this juicer that PL hooked it up on and buy tons of fresh/organic produce every week with the money that I save and reverse my health problems.
Just my 2cents though,
PEACE

Yes, that sounds about right ;) WF is a very good place, as are there sister/associated/copy cat stores Hannafords, Fresh Market etc. in other regions. They do carry some national brands, for sure, but not many, and a lot of the brands they carry are smaller producers that never offer coupons, and not many people that shop there bring coupons other then the ones published in their weekly/monthly coupon book.

I've been meaning to ask...What IS new chapter?
Blindman I like you bro,we seem to have a lot in common,lol Whole Paycheck!
Yeah I was thinking about returning that juicer but with no receipt,That's store credit....and at Bedbath and Beyond? NO THANKS :)
I love that fuckin thing,too bad I wasted money on the Jack lalanne high priced model about one a year ago.Thanks for the tip on their website....I have not done so as they don't mail me anything being 45miles from the closest one so I never have any idea what deals are going on.
Peace

I just buy vitamins from Target...shrugs...I never remember to take them though.

New Chapter is a non-GMO vitamin and supplement company. A jar of 48 One A Day tablets cost $39 normally, but was on sale for $29, and there was a stack of coupons from the supplier for $4 more off, and with PLs $9 off, I paid $16. Worth it. I haven't seen the brand at any of the big box stores.

THANKS!
I am an avid vitamin and supplement user so that sounds great to me....right now I am using the RAW brand of multi-vitamins as well as Udo's oils for EFA's and tons of herbals to remedy the issues I have with my chronic illnesses.Do you hold NEW CHAPTER above RAW in your opinion?
If you PM me I would like to share some info on these 2 unique supplements that I take daily that have made an extreme difference in my condition and general well being.Hey KIT-KAT....gotta get on some quality vitamins/supplements sooner rather than later due to the fact that there is virtually ZERO nutritional value in the foods that 99% of us consume on a daily basis,more like POISON if you do the research on GMO's and chemical additives.
HEY PL......you gonna re-do the original collections expiration dates? I really miss that collection but if not I completely understand.
PEACE guys

I would be interested to hear some pointers on what supplements are important to take and why. Also if you wanted to split up some of the work I would be willing to knock out some of the exp dates on the original collection next week or over the weekend.

New HC coupons being added tonight! Once I'm in a location where I can actually upload them.

OK, listen up, so I can't possibly count how many of you have told me you would buy any listing of mine in the future, I really have the best customers on SR for sure, but I also promised I won't make any more coupon packs unless my hands were forced to where it literally became necessary for me to create a new coupon pack for some unforeseen reason. So this has always put it into my head that I need to be working hard to come up with the next big thing and introduce something new to all of my friends on here that they would be able to buy and receive something of the same high quality they are use to receiving from me. I wanted to come up with a new listing that everyone wants to buy because they know it will be something new and great! The good news is the NEXT BIG THING has finally become a reality and is now ready for public consumption on SR. No, it's not a new coupon pack, the two I have now are perfectly fine to continue to hold all of the new coupon work we create. It's something that I am extremely excited about, and when you see it I know you will be too! Get ready... because if you loved all the hype and craziness that occurred during the initial release of the HC pack, then I think this week coming has the potential to top that party we had! Grab your popcorn and some coins... shit is about to get real.

Hey handsoap! Welcome back bud, we missed you! Remember that time you were an upstanding and respected member of the community until the communist government decided you were to be stripped of your rights? I'm glad that's over with.  lol

@shrektastic: it's going to be extremely hard for me to hold this in until release date, I'm pretty much about to burst with excitement. I can see myself breaking down and showing a sneak peak early... for now I just want people to know it's coming so they can stay tuned. Looking like a full release on Tuesday morning, but if we can get everything under the hood polished up and detailed sooner, how could I resist an early release?

@robotrippin: Should I just start accepting preorders right now? Without even telling people what it is they are buying? I'm joking of course, but not one person would be disappointed I promise... especially if I offered a discount on all blind preorders. It would be like the best Christmas ever (even better than that time we didn't have to buy gifts back in 2012)

Haha. I would do a blind pre-order right now if you'll do it for what I have in my SR account. I'd imagine it'll cost more than what I have, but I mean what I said. With what you have already saved me on both collections I really don't even have to think about buying your next installment. It's an easy decision for me. The longer I take to buy it the more money I lose. I never thought coupons would give me the excitement that they do. I can only imagine what you have lined up. It's gotta be awesome!

@kingsandman: Tuesday is still a good bit away, the price point is just about established and we are now in the final stages of what is looking like a very, very promising beta test... I'll release details about pricing soon and explain the breakdown of options. I certainly want that out there with as much time as possible for people to prepare, it's possible pricing will be announced at the same time I release the new HC content later tonight.

Also... at this moment I cannot release those details, but they don't call me The King of Heroin, Weed, or MDMA...

I had to see what this was about, and I was lazy, I just read the 1st page, and then the last.

Just to be clear here. This has nothing to do with drugs or illegal substances? 

It's really about store coupons?

I'm sorry, someone please tell me what I'm missing here.

I'm not being condescending, I just think I'm getting dumb~!

Is coupon "code" for "blotter"???

I mean bitcoins over an encrypted network just for COUPONS??? -

OK, the joke is on me. - Pile on me. What part am I missing?

Hi jagfug,

Yes, it's really about store coupons, and receiving 80-90% off of whatever you use PLs coupons for. And PL has excellent customer service......

ps nice tag line, it's been awhile since I've heard that one, made me laugh, again

....and welcome to a kickass thread that's fun as hell to follow!!

If some of ya'll could toss handsoap and VISA some karma for having survived the depths of the newbie board, that would be much appreciated. Welcome back!

Yeah, it's really just coupons... and for all of you who requested XBOX's, those will drop within the hour with some other really cool stuff.

Now let's talk about THE NEXT BIG THING... for those of you who aren't sure what I am talking about, go back a page.

Pricing will work like this. There will be two new main listings added on Tuesday. One for $50 and one for $100. They are equal in price to benefit ratio, except that the $100 listing comes with a FREE bonus for people who see the $50 listing and instantly know they will want two. Then for those who by whatever logic somehow see this thing and decide they just want a taste of what the benefits will be first, there will be a $20 listing but this comes with a stupid tax as it is double the price for the equal amount of benefit relatively that you would receive from the $50 or even better the $100 listing. Does that make sense?

@the new guy: no PGP is required, as my current two listings are digital downloads. You are welcome to use PGP to communicate with me, but I'll only be in a position to answer PGP messages at certain points in the average day and I can't say anyone has ever said anything to me or asked me a question that required PGP to answer, but it's cool with me. Also the downloads are hosted by me in onion land on my site, so we don't ever venture off into the clearnet like other digital download vendors might do.

SPOILER ALERT: The next big thing is not a digital download, not physically mailed out, and is a completely fucking new concept that has never existed in history until now. Thank us later.

You will make $100 stretch easily to $300-400.

Thanks to the return of our beloved RX7GOD, the new FULL PAGE additions to the HC addition are as follows:

$35 off any XBOX 360 Wireless Controller
FREE copy of HALO 4 for XBOX
$35 off XBOX Wireless Headset
$150 off XBOX Gaming Console
FREE Logitech Mouse of your choice

These can all be found in the last of the HC zips.

Unfortunately RX cannot join as of right now, as he is below 50 posts as many of my friends are because I had to delete the old review threads... this saddens me deeply and I feel responsible, but apparently not as much as it saddens RX who then went back and changed his feedback for my retired collections to 2/5s with a nasty note about how he doesn't appreciate this shit! J/K, but seriously we look forward to your return and don't get roughed up by any newbs in the meantime.

PL

@calicojak: yes, as many times as your heart desires, or until you run out of ink, but we made a coupon for that shit too.

Had to report back.  Couldn't find that Tyson crock pot meal anywhere around this region.  Looks like it maybe in your general region only.

2nd time out so I spread out my buying to 4 stores (probably a little overkill) to save $75 on $100 worth of stuff.  Could've saved more but in several cases I picked the more expensive option because I didn't like the choice at the lower price.  Now I'm mad because I want to go again to some other stores but my freezer is full!  Guess I could get a few more canned goods and misc. stuff instead.  Still stocking up on a few things though.

I printed in color on plain paper and only one cashier looked at them in any detail beyond telling me I apparently knew what I was doing.  She was just that kind though and there weren't any others to pick from at the time.

You sure can, I use the $10 Burger King GC all the time at Walmart. I use up to 4 at a time. Easy. Simple. Never have to talk to anyone. That's the first thing I do when I go in. Then I might do some HC at the electronics section. And finally, onto the food shopping. That way I knock out 3 things on one trip. Fun times!

It's all good. I'm in no rush. These new full pages look to awesome. I can't wait to put my finishing touches on them and head out.

Think you could rework a yoplait yogurt.. The 8pack is awesome but limits the flavors to a few.
Maybe like the chobani X amount off so many or so.

and a non regional water.. dasani or nestle.. ozarka ... i'll use that one when i go back to texas  8)

I believe at one point or another I had seen someone posting about returning couponed items. Has anyone done this at target, with receipt?
They apparently have a weird system for it...
They will give me back the amount of cash shown on the receipt as tendered. excluding change given.
buying a $143 item with a $100 off coupon so the total is $55 or so after the coupon and tax and then paying with $60 cash: When returned, getting $60 in cash back and $95 as a gift card. Paying with a $100 bill got $100 in cash and $55 in a gift card for the return.

Has anyone else tried and had the same results or did you get all gift card or all cash back?

Post by: qazwsx14 on January 20, 2013, 04:36 am
Mighty lucky there miker. In theory they should return the mfr coupon price...at the minimum as store credit, otherwise it would be fraud as they are collecting the money for coupons and not actually giving the discount.

Issue with that is many stores are aware of people buying large amounts of items with coupons and then returning them to get credit/cash back.This is why some will return only the price the customer paid...

Post by: purplelotus on January 20, 2013, 06:00 am
I always just do my returns without a receipt. I'm happy with store credit as I can buy alcohol or things otherwise unobtainable by coupons (which is now few and far between for us).

Did you guys know alcohol coupons are completely doable with no issues for me? The issue is that it is illegal in many states for alcohol companies to make coupons. Which means if you are in one of those states, yes the coupon I would make would work flawlessly, but if you get someone who is educated or took a class and knows it's against the law... WELL, that's why I do not make those coupons.

i would def. be down for some alcohol coupons. mainly miller lite beer. i know this guy who works at a gas station at night and he does not give a fuck about his job at all. i bet i could pass a beer coupon at that gas station. nothing too crazy just maybe like 6 bucks of an 18 pack or something like that.

Thankfully both cashiers were rather disgruntled with their employment and couldn't wait to use the opportunity to complain!   Everything scanned with no exception!  Awesome day may have to go out again!

SUNDAY SHOPPING CONTINUED..............

These coupons are working so well that we had to do a Second round just for fun.  Went to our two favorite stores and now its become a challenge to see how little we can spend!  Total this round in product $68.00 with total out of pocket of $ 3.65 - found several items that were on sale and able to offset some of the cost with the credit!!!!!   Making todays total - about $178.00 in product for just under $18.00.  Didnt have much trouble although the cashiers this evening were some what less disgruntled and both wanted to know where we got such good coupons.  Answer was online survey and this is how we were paid for our time made it seem like what they sent us was more of a burden and couldn't wait to get rid of them.  Shopping this time included Kleenex, Eggos, Silk, EggLands Crisco Oil, Horizon, Tropicana and Welchs!!!

Did go to CVS to try a Visa Card - $40 off of $50 but wanted to know about that 4.95 activation fee?  Is that standard on all of them? 
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: handsoap on January 21, 2013, 02:40 am
Yes, coupon or no coupon the 4.95 has to be paid. Sounds like an awesome day of savings.

Did you do the visa in CVS self checkout or reg cashier? I can't get CVS to pass any of the gift cards (it either scans or works when number punched in but manager usually turns me away. One manager told me about some email branches got saying these are fake... Glad to see its just regional.

Post by: zeke on January 21, 2013, 04:21 am
Did a small walmart run last night for some weekly groceries.  Nothing extravagent but I have been taking note of coupons that are worth more than the item itself.  Or coupons that have the same UPC as another similar item that is cheaper.  As long as I hand a huge stack of coupons over the cashiers haven't noticed yet.  With this technique I am able to keep my balance within $1-$10 for every $50-$150 total.  This is amazing for purchasing stuff that there isn't coupons for.  For example the BIC coupon for $4 off can be used on a $1 bag of pencils.  Or the $5 off a 120 count of downy sheets.  If you get the smallest thing of Downy sheets, I think it is like 20 or 30 for $1 it has the same UPC, so you get $4 back.  I've used up to 4 at a time at walmarts with no problem.  Last night picked up a a little over $70 worth of groceries and paid just under $5.  Now of course I also have a stock pile of shit that I have no use for.  I may take it somewhere to donate it.  I've already donated at least 40 bags of mechanical pencils to a local children's organization.

PL I also sent you another bitcoin, I know its not much I haven't had much cash to put down lately due to budget cuts at work.  I am supposed to be loading up a large amount of coins later this week for a friend and should be able to get a decent size donation from him, so if all goes as planned I will shoot a few more your way.

One idea I had last night while making up some HC coupons on glossy paper with holograms.  Would it be possible on the HC coupons to leave a small section where it would look like a hologram would be?  The user would still have to apply the hologram to the coupon.  The problem I am running into is on some of the HC coupons there isn't really a good spot to put a hologram, as it looks like it doesn't belong.  Looking at the HC coupons one of the best examples I could find was the xbox coupon, at the bottom it is all white and has the 3 logos.  What if the 2 on the right were pushed left and left some room on the right side to apply a small hologram similar to this *****CLEARNET WARNING****** http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-BRIGHT-SILVER-HOLOGRAM-SECURITY-VOID-LABELS-STICKERS-SEALS-1-INCH-/300609146941?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fdb3903d *****CLEARNET OVER****  I know this would be extremely difficult as many people have many different types of holograms, different printing sizes, etc...  But just an idea I thought I would throw out.

Also did you ever make a coupon for those sterilite containers by chance?  Downloading the new hardcore pack now, and excited for the announcement!! I am personally hoping for a coupon for free cash from any bank of your choice, or possibly free oxy from any pharmacy?  Haha  Thanks again PL your the man!

Depending on how difficult it is to update the collection, it might be worthwhile to have two versions: one with space for a holo and one without.  That way people can use as they see fit or not.

@FramedAgain2222: It's simple to do, but would take a long time because of how many times we would have to do it, plus all the reorganizing and uploading takes a good bit too. So like I said, it's easy to do if you want that option... but the day I do it, I use my own holograms and then make them look amazing and mail them out as physical products.

So 24 Hour Stores Rock!  Bored on a Sunday Night Nothing Much to Do decided to head out for one quick shopping spree - knew our luck couldn't last with cashiers!   Boy oh boy did we get a winner on this last round.  First let me say that we threw in a few regular coupons for random items and that all the coupons did scan both newspaper ones and SR ones however this miserable 50plus - non English speaking ( and I am far from prejudice ) but she literally spoke broken English analyzed each and every coupon from top to bottom reading each line.  Several of the coupons were for more then the items purchased which is what I think sent her off the deep end.  She called a manager over "laura" very nice 30something women and proceeded to tell her that all my coupons were for more then the items.  Of course I immediately spoke up and said no that's not true there were only a few items like that!    My defense wasn't needed because "Laura" had already begun scanning all the coupons through with no issue - explaining to our non English speaking friend that it was ok sometimes coupons are for more than the item and the customer ends up getting the money back.   She proceeded to finish scanning all the coupons and quietly walking away.  I of course apologized for the line that had formed behind me and she said no problem! :)

The cashier then totaled us up and gave us our change however she somehow didn't seem too thrilled and failed to wish us a safe drive home!  LOL - my girl mentioned the C word several times as we unpacked our bags and recalled the experience!  Oh well still got $52.00 worth of items for $9.50 - including Eggos, Cottonelle, Pampers Wipes, Purex, Silk and Clorox - Total today $230.00 for $28.00.

Ok guys check this out...My and my gf's food budget for the next two weeks is $10, money is tight right now because we have a couple big bills coming along with a freakin $188 traffic ticket. I have yet to buy the oc collection and that will of course be my first purchase from PL but I'm trying to figure if I should get the oc collection this week, which the cost would come from my food budget, or should I wait until I have more expendable money which would be in two weeks? The reason I ask is because I don't have a computer or printer atm and I would be going to FedEx Office to do my printing, which also costs money. I know you guys don't know my situation entirely and you're not living my life but just trying to get opinions. Thanks :)

Man you need to get them now and stock up on the food. I wouldnt wait. Its a no brainer to get the OC set. It will save you money and you would have more money now if you would have bought them earlier. IMO
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: robotrippin on January 21, 2013, 08:54 pm
@calicojak    I'm not sure just how tight things are for you, but if you can get the OG collection and make it work within your budget do it. You will get 5-10x the product for your money.  Hell, if you do your homework you can get close to $100 with of products for $10-$15.  It's not worth waiting.
 That goes for anyone actually. If you are on the fence about purchasing either of PL's collections just do it. Every trip to the store without these is a wasted one.  If you need help with anything or advice on when/where to use them there is almost always someone on this thread available to help, if not PL himself.

Listen to Robotrippin. They are right man. You need to incorporate the OC into your bidget and get that pantry stocked, then buy the HC later. You will not be sorry. We will give you all the help you need and PL always answers. I still cant believe I get so much food now. Its crazy!

Also with that ticket, I would call the clerk and tell them you need to pay that out. Fuck those towns raping citizens when times are hard, just to get their pensions.

Thanks bigndn and robotrippin ....

Yeah the bastards will be getting a call from me before I send a full payment, hopefully they will work with me on it.

The only reason I was on the fence about buying it this week as opposed to in two weeks was because of a possible learning curve for the newbie. Like I said I would have to go to FedEx Office to use their computer and printer and I'm not sure how quickly I pick up on printing these things out properly. I'm leaning more towards going with buying the collection this week though, I'm just hoping it all goes smoothly and I learn how to do this very quickly because money is tight for the next two weeks and I need food lol.

Its not hard to learn CJ. Is as easy as pushing a button. I usually make 4 to a page, no more than that. A lot of them will print in sets of 3 per page. So its not that hard. You will make the money back and he also has a coupon for a printer and I bet if you ask he will give it to you when you buy the OC cause he is a hell of a dude and would know you needed one. I bet ya! Get to it man and start saving money. Learn to buy items you can take back for a credit so you can use that for groceries and that will help in hard times. You will make your money back man first day.lol I promise!

As for printing them out, almost the whole collection is already in the proper size so there's not many changes needed. There are a few that could be re-sized but that's a matter of personal preference. You should pick it up almost immediately as there is little to no learning curve.  You don't even need to worry about color, that should save you a few bucks there. I know PL has said he prints them in B&W and they work fine.  There's a bunch of us that do B&W, myself included, and it works fine.  You'll pick it up in no time. Shelves will be stocked and bellies full;)

If there's any issues just give a holler on this thread. I'm sure someone will help you out ASAP.

I agree with all the above!!! :)
Go get it, you want a learning curve?  Do what Bigndn said, print pages of 4 of all your necessities, go try one out.
But if you read enough of this thread you would know the OC all scan w/o problems.
It will pay for itself in the first 1-2 trips and you wouldn't be able to wait till the next trip, you will start dreaming UPCs LOL
I see you decided to get them while I was typing so enjoy  8) you wont regret it

LOL thanks handsoap!

Have you guys had success using two of the same coupons and getting two of the same items in one trip or do most stores only allow one coupon and one item per trip. So letd say I wanted two pizzas, so I print two of the same pizza coupon would it work in one run? Maybe it just depends on store policy right?
Anybody have success at Winn-Dixie or Publix? I also have many Wal-Mart's and Targets near by, I live in a huge metro area in the SE US. The Target near by sells groceries and I know I read people said Target is easy to pull off.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: robotrippin on January 21, 2013, 11:09 pm
I stick to singles of each item per transaction.  You may be able to do multiples but I always figured that may draw unnecessary attention to the purchase.  If you are just starting I'd stick with one until you are comfortable trying to do it.

Not sure about Winn-Dixie or Publix. I'm nowhere near them to have any insight. I can tell you that Target is a favorite amongst us for the OG collection. Walmart is also fine, especially if they have the self checkout.  Kmart is good too, but they are a bit more expensive than the other two. Personally the only trouble I've ever had was at Walmart. But that was due to me getting greedy more than it was on their part. IMHO if you are new I would start at Target as that is almost a guarantee. Get yourself a list and try to stay around $40-$60 in coupons and you will have no problems. That amount of coupons should get you around $60-$80 of product. That's a nice score to get going.  Once you do it a few times and you become more comfortable with the procedure. Then the fun really begins ;D

most coupons scan w/o limitation (i.e 1 per customer etc.) but sometimes an insecure cashier will look it twice and call for help, even then don't sweat it, either give back the extra item or make a huge scene, dump all the groceries and take your business elsewhere :)

Ok, the next big thing goes on sale tomorrow, but it's fully operational and I am releasing it now so that you can all play with it. Anyone can visit the site and guests can use all of the features and do full previews. you simply need an account and credits to finalize your work once you like how it looks!

Welcome to "The Coupon Club!"

Conceptualized by PurpleLotus and made into a reality by web designer extraordinaire Klipp

The world's first coupon generating .onion website! Capable of making a coupon the quality of any that PurpleLotus makes in less than 10 minutes with just a little input from the user. You need a product image to upload, an optional watermark if you choose, and also the infamous first 5 digits of the UPC we all are use to by now. You select the expiration date and also the amount you want off followed by the coupon text such as "of any (1) bottle of Coke".

At the moment it is only capable of amounts up to $10 off. We have many plans for future features and upgrades but we are finally, after months of work, ready to release the first version for public consumption.

http://couponerpcuhkcyn.onion/

I have to go to class now, but I expect later tonight when I get home there will be many opinions and questions and I can't wait to get back to you all! Enjoy the fun new toy!

UPDATE: Official listings will be posted tomorrow, along with a new review thread for this item only in Product Offers, as it's a brand new product. We still need to change up a couple things, for example we want the free coupon of the week to be one that all of us dont already have, obviously, we just used that one as a nice example of what can be made with this thing.

NICE dude! I'm super excited to try this out.. is the SR Staff OK with you bringing us to a seperate .onion site? Also, were you going to make it so that people can see the coupons already created? Or is every coupon private?

also please read the directions... but since it's only a preview, you can't really mess anything up, but once you have credits, please read the very easy and concise instructions.

ALSO, YES IT IS AN EXTERNAL ONION SITE, but it is only for the actual functionality. Credits can ONLY be purchased on SR through my vendor account. We will NEVER do any out of escrow transactions, as always, and the links on the site to buy credits simply point you to my SR listings. Never will any money be exchanged in any other manner, unless you also want to toss Klipp a tip for his hard work.

I've never used a droid before or a FedEx office before, so take my advice with a grain of salt.  I know at the UPS store most stores have an assigned email address that you can email files to to have them print them out.  I would be wary of this, but then again I am a paranoid person as it is.  Another idea does your droid have a removeable memory card?  What about downloading the images to the memory card and taking the card in to have them print it off of it?  Again not sure if they can do that or not...  Why not just give the FedEx office a call and explain that you downloaded some coupons to your phone and need to print them and see what they have to say?

I typically open a new Word document and insert whichever coupons I want into it.  Once I have them arranged and sized the way I want, then I print.  You can do the same but save the doc to a thumb drive or cd.  Take the drive in and at the self-serve stations they'll have a place to insert it and an interface to pick the document you want to print.  Pick n' print.

I'm not sure how paying works though.  I know they have CC readers at the self-serve but they also may have the option to print a bill that you take to the counter.

Personally I find Wal-Mart to be far easier than Target. Although Target is pretty good, I have had way easier successes at Wa-Mart. As for using multiples of the same in one trip. I have no problems buying 4 or 5 Horizon's in one shot, 2 cans of Enfamil (at a local grocery even, not a big box retailer), and 4 OJs at a time. So I wouldn't sweat it on other products either.

Good luck to you. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you land on your feet.

I used to work at FedEx Office/Kinkos.

There are easy ways to do this. There are cannon printers with usb fit in on the printer so you can select what file you want to print. I think you should use Word or some other program to format it up right. I usually prefer PDF files as they give no issues.

You can get a blue card where there is  a load limit for $10 or $20 depending, so you can use it and pay at the register.

For privacy reasons get a purple card from the kiosk and insert cash to get the purple card. You can always reload it and keep it for yourself.

I don't recommend giving kinkos the file to print they do have privacy laws but they purge files from there machines couple months. You can always use a fake name and stuff and always get away with it.

Let me know if you have more questions about FedEx as I have alot of experience and in printing.

I have a question...can you please continue the updates and work you've been doing in addition to this new generator?
My woman has been bitching at me for the different stories i keep giving her on why she can't have the laughing cow cheese or many of the other items I used to get,lol  Also.....since re-doing the exp. dates on the generator would cost an extra credit,how long do you think we should make them for just to be prudent? 5months max?
great idea though and I hope I can figure out how it all works easily after purchase.
I will be one of your first buyers buddy....

I'm lit right now, but tomorrow I will use the generator to make the laughing cow coupon and make that the free coupon of the week on the site. We will always have a free coupon every week on the front page made by the generator that anyone can have for free, whether you or a customer or not.

And yes, I very much will be continuing my work as usual. I'm just offering a new service that fits a need and is high quality.

Let's look at it like this... you make one coupon for a product you love and get a lot of and make it for $5. Then you print out two of the coupons and grab two of the items and check out. You have officially lost no money and have a $5 coupon for one of your favorite items which you can keep using over and over now.

Oh and not to mention, you are the only person who gets to use that coupon. Plus now you get to interact and participate in the coupon making process, and then go pass your very own coupon you made yourself.

Fellow Silk Roadies,

I've been on the Road sine last March and have both purchased and sold items. The Coupon Generator is by far the best item I've come across, and easiest to use. I've been playing with it the last couple of days, and wanted to tell my story. After making 6 coupons in under one hour, I headed out to my local Walmart. Found the items I had coupons for, went to the self checkout with cash, and passed all of the coupons with out a single problem. While still at Walmart, I did some recon for future coupons to make for the next trip. Then, back to the fort to generate some more. Same thing, made another 6 coupons, only this time they only took a 1/2 hour to make, as the program is so simple. Next stop, Target, found the items, did my recon, and had to go to the cashier, as the self checkout was closed. Same results, everything scanned without a question. I've since generated coupons for Whole Foods and other local grocers, without having a single problem.

To me, this is a game changer, and will be for anyone who purchases it. And with the support you receive from Purple Lotus, I really don't see why this wouldn't be the very next purchase you make. What ever money you were saving or using for anything else, can easily be tripled or quadrupled by using the Coupon Generator. For $100, you can make enough coupons to save $1000 in a week or two. On my latest trip today, I spent $29 at Walmart and walked away with just over $250 in merchandise. I went thru self checkout 3 times, and once to the cashier. No bubbles, no troubles...was grinning the entire time.

Thank you Purple Lotus, for your genius idea and vision, and Klipp for making it a reality and simple to use.

If anyone has any questions, or would like further details from my ventures, please feel free to PM or ask here.

Forgot to add, today's trip only took 1 hour. So that was over $200 for 1 hour of 'work'. String a few days of that together, and you can see how much saving can be had.....

I know all you technologically advanced people are working with the coupon gener. now but slow folk like me are still doing the OG coups LOL and had a few questions. JK about the first part (kinda), PL knows I'll be on that train soon too. :)

Anyway, I was wondering if people had luck with the Camel coupon @ a convenience store like 7-eleven, rite aid, cvs, etc. by itself OR should I just incorporate it into my coupon purchases for my runs at the big store. The only reason I ask is bc most the time it's in a separate section and requires assistance from a cashier or CSM even.

Also, with the Horizon Milk coup., and a couple others, (they have the exp. date, pin #, etc.) in small writing around the coupon itself vs. the usual dashes. Should I cut the surrounding off or keep this? Thanks so much.

@bio: assuming you have the updated versions, that does not need to be cut off, it's the way several real internet coupons are made.

Some contain the expiration date and a print date too.

You mean will the current collections soon be available from the site, this way I never have to change the link again because people will need a login and password to access the collections they own and I can then manage those accounts? If that's the question, then fuck yes that's in the works and will be the case soon!

it doesnt matter what the price of bitcoins is, my listings will cost the same no matter what at the time, as long as you dont hold on to them for a long time, and the price then drops after the fact.

so far the reports are that 100% of the coupons generated have worked flawlessly, wish we were getting to the point where we had more reviews getting posted here, because I know that's when other become ready and willing to give it a try. I can't wait until we see more success stories about how awesome this thing is.

@PL or we could just tuck some OC coupons in their panties. haha.

I just wanted to let you know that I made my first "Big" run with the OC collection the other night at Walmart. By big I mean like 120+ worth of coupons. My cart was full and went up to this little teenie bopper girl and handed her the coupons. All packed up. Took awhile..only issue was with the Axe product, I tried to purchase the loofa thing but it wouldn't scan for the item so I just said screw it. Long story short...subtotal before coups: $187.00.....final subtotal after coups: $30.00 saving $157! The only reason I had to pay 30 was I purchased probably 5-6 other items w/0 coupons. So thank you. Oh and right afterwards...went to the smoke counter...laid down 3 of the camel coupons and got 3 packs for 3 dollars. I was just starting to quit too...LOL

Haha luckily I don't smoke camels really..I ended up giving them to a friend who does (I charged him like 7 bucks lol) but I can't believe how compatible those coupons on...YOU are DA MAN! I'm going to be refilling my wallet soon with BTCs so expect some love from Bio soon. After using the OC coups I've kinda laid off the HC ones but my brother was able to get an Apple TV, 5 itunes cards, and some subway ones. He doesn't know where I got em' but on his end I'll say thanks! lol.

On a side note for those small groups of HC users...the last attempt I made was at tarjay for the full pg. beats studio. CSM brought me to guest services and the computer said "coupon invalid" and she told me that it's fake so she'll just throw it away (in a very bitchy manner I must say). I put my hand on that coupon real fast and told her that's my coupon and just bc it rang up as that, doesn't mean its fraudulent. With a stern look in my eyes she backed off and I split.

I should really find a place to write this to make everyone aware, I just felt like saying "read the coupon policies of your stores" was sufficient, but this is one of those rare examples where I need to somehow make it known in the Hc listing, but Target will NEVER accept a coupon over $50, which is why you had trouble and it came up as invalid... it wasn't the coupon, it's tarjay.

The Night Club idea is awesome! Been wanting to do that for years.

Bioman thats a hell of a deal you got there! I now have it down where I am saving several hundred dollars a week Cant tell you how much buying these OC from PL has saved me and it makes so much of a difference in my life.
My buddy had 2 heart surgeries so I gave his woman 200 in coupons and she said she only spent like 7.07. Thats better than I usually do and shes a first timer. Girls are naturals at this shit and they fucking love coupons! Its funny to watch them shop just to shop and stock the house up.
Cant thank PL enough for the fun I am having with these and of course the money I save. If you want a raise or offset that huge new tax increase this is a good way to do it! It pays for itself the first trip. If your sitting on the fence better come on over and join us. This is the best deal on SR hands down because it will pay for itself and you will make money by saving money.
Hope everyone is having a great night!

@PL..the reason I went there in the first place is because I got my discounted PS3 there, the CSM just overwrote it. Their coupon policy states that they accept manufactured/internet coupons that are worth up to 75% of the retail price of the item. In my case for the PS3, $175 out of 269.00 I believe just barely made it and CSM overwrote it anyway. I can say that out of obtaining around 700 worth of electronics at tarjay...this was my first issue. The lady was just an uptight and stressed manager in her 30s and decided to be rude. She probly needs the coupons for the KY jelly and condoms-problem would being finding a guy to bone her. haha anyway....

Thanks @bignd...I appreciate the support. I think PL has officially established the best community based program here in SR history!

I've also been using target for coupons >$50. They just need a supervisor to put in their code/pin to override the register objection. Works like a charm almost every time.
Even had security go back for 15min and look at the coupon and research it (keurig) and then come back and say it was legit.

Post by: 420blindman on January 27, 2013, 03:29 am
I don't feel PL needs to keep adding to the OC. You can tailor fit your shopping list using the coupon generator. That way, you make the coupons for what you're already buying, and only you have that coupon, no one else. It's as if PL asked you what you keep in your house, and he says, "how about I make a coupon for everything you have?" And only you get to print them out? Win-win in my book!  If anything, he could simply keep the OC updated when the time comes. Or just re-create it yourself, $10 for a 4 month coupon is a steal.

Lotus.....thank you for the thousandth time,I know you have had your fill of nut-hugging people who say shit to get free stuff from you,Not that I don't understand why they do it...You're such a giving and considerate dude and I'm glad I have the pleasure of knowin ya for more reasons than I can think of.
If people DON'T buy that from you....it leads a further belief that I have been fighting that Americans are NOT getting any smarter.Off of 2 coupons at 4 stores in a 1 hr run today mixed in with the OC...I paid for the entire 10 pack that i bought a few days ago.I'm no economics major...but I think I just "Found a winner" and will be investing in THIS.....FUCK the stock market and greedy corporations....I'm taking my portion back thanks to you.
PEACE you awesome little bastard. :)

Always the way it goes....the better a person,the more BS they gotta deal with.Too bad the fuck-ass wasted money on a vendors account.
I hate thieves and liars....so he's batting 100 right now.

Meh, after seeing how NickMode did, someone who stole NickMode's idea doesn't really bother me anymore. Hell, I even recommend NickMode's listing over this new clown. Both kinda pissed me off by entering my market under false pretenses.

I don't feel PL needs to keep adding to the OC. You can tailor fit your shopping list using the coupon generator. That way, you make the coupons for what you're already buying, and only you have that coupon, no one else. It's as if PL asked you what you keep in your house, and he says, "how about I make a coupon for everything you have?" And only you get to print them out? Win-win in my book!  If anything, he could simply keep the OC updated when the time comes. Or just re-create it yourself, $10 for a 4 month coupon is a steal.

Yeah I understand that, but I would hope that the collections still receive updates every once in a while as I feel PLs hands on work is still somewhat better than the generator.  Not saying the generator isn't good, because it is totally badass and works amazing and as soon as I have some extra cash I plan on purchasing some tickets to use it.  I just don't have a lot of extra cash to buy a lot of tokens to use it.  Hopefully when I get some extra cash I can purchase some and try it out.

So just got back from a small shopping trip just a few items.  As long as we were there decided to bring along a couple coupons.   FIRST OF ALL!!!!!! GET THE GENERATOR!  Its awesome, easy to use and worth the money as is everything that PL has done to date.

That said we went with Bustello, Kleenex, Dove and Nabisco!  In addition went with two of our very own Coupon generated ones and a couple of newspaper ones as well.     Late evening shopping and it happened to be pretty quiet tonight.  As usually I do the shopping my girl does the register ( shes much better with people ) and I wait in the car! 

Here's the thing we usually scatter the newspapers ones to distract - this time all the newspaper ones were on top and one after one received an error message!   Thats right the REAL ONES all received mismatched error messages of course these were for $.50 and $1.00 values so she looked over the coupon quickly and then typed it in.  Now as she started with the SR ones each and EVERYONE scanned perfectly!  No mismatched errors or issues!  Not sure how my girl kept a straight face cause I wouldn't have been able to.

On the ride home we discussed that its really how you react to people and keep in mind that when you do get an error message its the same error messages that come up with "REAL" coupons!  So relax!  Assume Nothing!  And keep on Shopping! 

Not sure how someone else would have the balls to try and compete in this market because its obvious PL has perfected it and you cant compete with "AWESOME" 

Thanks again PL!

Its just fucking great brother! No where else on SR can you get this service or these ORIGINAL COUPONS. There is only room on SR for one PL! All these copycats are wasting their fucking money and can never compete with your business. You are the COUPON MASTER and an OG! My people thank you!!

Haha bro I just did the exact same thing! (cutting out a bunch of OC coupons for the morning) LOL. I print in color and it's so satisfying when you finish each coupon with a nice pair of scissors and throw all those scraps away. I've probably gone through 4 trees by now LOL. I'll donate some money to "save the amazon" foundation to make up for it. haha

All the fuckings I have taken in my life are completely reversed because this OC and HC collection makes me so much damn money in savings.

Seriously tho, in only 2 weeks with these I've saved hundreds of $$. I can't thank PL enough.
I don't fully trust the competition but if there is any, the generator just hit it out of the park.

I had an interesting experience last night with the OC.  I pretty much did the opposite of what I've done every time before.  This time I went to Walmart just after midnight. I had on jeans, t-shirt, and unzipped hoodie but nothing dirty or stained.  Also only picked up a few things from the coupons but bought a few things that didn't too.  They rejected 3 of the 4 coupons.  Mission chips expired in december (didn't notice that one), but they rejected the Gillette blades and Cliff bars because "they don't say internet coupon and look like they're copies of newspaper coupons."  I laughed and played it off but still.

I've passed those before several times each (even at the same store) but previously I went in Fridays at 6pm when everybody's coming in from work, dressed in my nice business clothes.  Goes to show timing and appearance count a LOT.

Had such great success with the Generator Coupons had to go out today again!   Three of the various chain stores with a total savings of $115.00.    Only one scan issue which was the KY Jelly!  CVS didnt pick it up but the young man behind the counter just manually entered it.  I assume he didnt want to question KY Jelly  -  to my girl! :) LOL

Today's shopping included Silk, Clorox Wipes, Dove, Colgate, Ziploc, Cereal, Tropicana, Kleenex, KY and Water!  Awesome as usual!

Well I put a huge dent in target today.lol It was awesome! I went twice for over 300.00 in savings. Then went to WM and I had zero problems with cliff bars or any other coupons I normally use there. Another 78.00 in savings there. Had to buy some printer paper and more ink.lol I think there are two cliff bar coupons in the set. I need to look. These coupons all worked flawlessly for me. Happy shopping! I love those BIC coupons!

That will be fun! purplelotus should have that list set up ASAP!


Nothing coming this way! I'll let you know..

Is anyone receiving PM from Intrepid for some unknown reason? Dude makes no sense asking me to delete his old post under an old name. WTF?
123man keeps trying to buy the HC from me. He just dont want to pay for them. Too bad! PL could use the free beer money if he did pay me!lol

I dont usually mix HC with my OC. I only mix it with THC before I go shopping so I dont get anxious with 300.00 worth of coupons in my hand.lol

THC helps no doubt, I've been eying 420BM's jillybean for a minute, I think it can complement shopping like $0.50 horizon milk complements free cereal. Unfortunately my rl connect is too damn reliable

Shrek, VisaHate, Blindman and HandSoap just received positive Karma from me. Thanks for all your support!

CIC.lol Fuck them! We dont care. They have no effect at all on what we do! They are too damn slow!

Right back at you bro,Also....some VAGINA also gave me a bad karma....probably the thieves that I call out,Either the one that stole my vendors account and blackmailed me or the ones that keep attempting to rip off of lotus' work here.
I think at the end of the day,the only thing that helps with the fact that they hate themselves and KNOW what they are....they get to click a button and make our numbers different.You know what though? I don't really care because REAL karma is the one that matters and these pieces of shit are going to ALL get what's what in the end,that is for sure.
So clickity click pussy,why not message me here and come out of the closet?
BACK TO THE COUPONER!!! ............AWESOME! saved another 180.00 today as well as returning that juicer without proof of purchase and getting 100.00 more than I paid for it minus the 200.00 coupon....300 bucks IN MY POCKET.This weekend may have been such a nice one that it will negate any sucky thing that may happen on monday.Thanks PL!

Call your credit card company and tell them it is an unauthorized transaction. I do not belive they can do that to you if you made the purchase and they changed the amount. I would call the cc company!

Oh yeah! Sorry, I forget people keep naming MDMA pills after Nike's. They are shoes which retailed at $650 in a very limited number, so now they are $2-3k on ebay depending on how much use they have on them. People freak out when they see them, and keep telling me to be careful not to get robbed for them... the quality is awesome though, and I love them.

I do believe that's illegal. Any charge incurred after the transaction could be considered unauthorized. There's no need to go into the coupons,  even if they were to prove your intent was to defraud the store that is not the legal way to address it. I would for sure call your CC issuer and file a claim. I have an anonymous prepaid that I use sometimes instead of cash and I've never ran into this. I will have to keep an eye out though.

As for the karma attacks I went back and hit just about everyone active here with a +1. Sorry PL, got you yesterday.  That bullshit ain't gonna stop this train. ;D

I hope AAAARRRRRRGGGGG gives a little more info on his incident.
From what I know the sorting facility hits up the manufacture with reimbursement requests per store, I am not sure if MFR gets physical coupon for verification. I also don't know who takes the L (if found) with PL coupons MFR or store
Store--->sorting--->MFR takes about a month then for their busy people to identify 1/1000 stand out, match it to receipt, then to card then file for chargeback w/ cc company were looking at 1.5-2 months? I'm not doubting him, it could happen but I def. wanna know more for our future use of these

I give out so much +1 karma to everyone, that the amount of times I get the "error cannot repeat a karma action for 72 hours" message is RIDICULOUS! LOL

Also, an easy fix to the problem... Always use cash! Charge backs sound strange for sure, but we certainly don't want to get into a situation where you are fighting with your bank over $18 and no one doubts he is being sincere... who knows what really happened, but always use cash and be smart!

Purple Lotus, I have a request for you...

The Axe gave me trouble at walmart, because the barcode was different...
At my location its 11111, not the one we have currently. So they said no.
I tried Target, and the barcode was also 11111, but she still override it. So good.

What do you think about this?
Think we can get a Axe coupon for 11111 barcode?

Yea for sure cash is safer, or a pre paid card but it's not always easy to know what your total will be and if you have enough.
My other problem is stores' loyalty cards, I've opened 2 anon ones, and use the courtesy one where offered but some stores require ID for that... in those stores I've been lucky enough (twice) to get the people behind me in line to scan theirs for me, figured they can't get hurt if 1 use somehow got traced to them

Had such great success with the Generator Coupons had to go out today again!   Three of the various chain stores with a total savings of $115.00.    Only one scan issue which was the KY Jelly!  CVS didnt pick it up but the young man behind the counter just manually entered it.  I assume he didnt want to question KY Jelly  -  to my girl! :) LOL

Today's shopping included Silk, Clorox Wipes, Dove, Colgate, Ziploc, Cereal, Tropicana, Kleenex, KY and Water!  Awesome as usual!

Did you try to get the basic KY jelly or a different KY product?
It scans on the basic product (4oz, didn't try 2oz) but not other ones I've tried lol

Secret: Walgreens $6.50 (3.5OZ bag) -$6=.50 and tax.
They had em on sale a week ago. $3.99, I walked out with free bag. :)

Jack Links Jerky that is...
I think you are talking about the Large Bag $10.99
So yeah just get small 98% off...and buy 2 of em..lmao

O and lmao, last time I went I grabbed the big bag instead, and when I saw  the numbers, I was like Did you really scan it? He flipped the computer screen around, and was like SEE.. I payed for it anyways, but still was pricey

So lesson learned, grab the smallest bag, for maximum savings :)

Jack links is one of the only ones that state an exact size on the coupon, meaning it will scan with any size bag but if this coupon is not part of a stack of them, you're taking a risk that your cashier is literate and is not afraid to use it

I tried it twice in local chains and failed miserably, every single coupon called for assistance and most of them were not accepted. one time I removed everything and paid for what scanned, the other time I just took everything to live cashier and it worked flawlessly.
Maybe they just limit coupon use in self checkout around here... Don't know

No, there is no way to do an exchange without fees to get BTC using a MP.  If you find a vendor who claims this, then they will just take your MP and leave you empty handed.

The closest to getting an exchange for LOW fees is through a vendor I (and a I'm sure others) know about who does it on the side. Last night I sent him 460 in MP and received 442 back in BTCs in ~3-4 hrs tops. Go ahead and PM me for further info and I can send you in the right direction. I'm not going to put direct info up on here as it is PL's forum.

Hey guys! BTC's will be in thursday and I can't wait to get the OC! Couple of questions.
1. Can I print off 25 or so let's say "Campbells"  coupons for instance and use them all in the same trip? With other  multiple coupons?
2. Do I have to have a certain number of SR prchases before I can order the OC?
3. How is everyones progress with the HR collection?
4. What are some examples of the generator you guys are using? I want to get it but don't know if it would pay for itself unless I could use it for video games, gift cards, ect.
5. Can I print an unltd number of OC coupons for my fam?

Thanks in advance (moving up from the n00b thread)

It will work but i only do like 4-5 at a time on one item. No amount for OC collection only HC. Everyone is different HC. YOu have to talk to PL about the generator. Yes you can hep your family and is encouraged somewhat to do that. I would try to give their business to PL and send him beer money once in a while and do not give away the links to anyone at all ever.

Ok so on the HC collection. How do all the free things work. Like the xbox live and so on can someone elaborate? & is it unlimited amt of times? Same for the itunes and gift cards? If I live in a big city with mult stores like walmart, tarjet, kmart so on & just rack up 100 xbl cards. What keeps me from getting all these and just reselling? 
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: handsoap on January 30, 2013, 05:19 am
It depends on the store's coupon policy. Some don't allow you to repeat coupons more than 5 times per cart (for example),
A lot of stores will alert CSM if a certain amount is reached...
The best way to know is just to try it out, you'll find your groove 8)

YOu just print them and go for it. You sell your property if you want to. Its America. Use them as many time as you want to use them just dont give out the links to people that didnt pay for them. Use them everyday until they expire if you want. If you go get it then it is yours. You can sell the XBL cards you get. No one cares. Do what you want man. No one is trying to stop you. When you buy them come back and we will help you with anything you need man.

Also, which chain(s) have the must successful acceptance for the coupons bought from here?

Just wondering and looking to expand my knowledge, as I may end up purchasing the coupon collection!

Dude, JUST DO IT!

so easy, and fun, addicting kinda...

You get a link, with unlimited amount of printable coupons.
Print many and save 95% on you items. Thats 100's of dollars in your wallet, every week.
Example cigarettes, $10 of 3 packs, if you are a smoker, that pays in 4 coupons.

Walmart, target, walgreens, love em.

pretend like these are real... like you printed them on couponmom.com
They look SO GOOD, and real, and scan, nobody will have a clue...
They look better, than internet coupons...

Seriously, its a RUSH..

PL I had an idea the other day, and then thought about it some more while messaging someone.  What about creating a document that goes along with some of the higher dollar coupons to help verify the validity of them?  One of the ones I was thinking about in particular was a PAX pass/ticket to help pass the Xbox 360 coupon.  I went ahead and was successful with just the coupon by itself, but this may be an idea to try on higher dollar items.  We could print the full page coupon on high quality glossy photopaper while printing the tagalong document on cardstock or even laminate it to help put CSMs minds at rest.  Just an idea!

I'm gonna print out about 20 pages of stuff they need and tell them to meet me back at walmart.This saving money and becoming more financially stable is amazing shit and raping the fuck out of evil corporations is pretty cool lotus.....but sometimes we have days like today and it puts it all in focus.I think I just made my own day.Thanks Lotus!!!!!

I always had this idea to create a fake coupon verification site.... just rip off a real one, and put verification codes on all the coupons, when typed into the site, will come up like it was a legit/verified coupon (probably only the HC would need this ever). Seems easy to put together, but the tricky part is actually pulling it off securely, so I haven't fucked with it.

Not only do I experience great things in real life, but also here on SR. Life ain't bad man, and doing good for other people is what makes my life better. If I'm down or depressed or unhappy, the first thing I look for is how to do something nice for someone else. I know that shit always works. Whether it's using coupons to buy hundreds of diapers for a classmate of mine who I overheard mentioning to one of her friends about crying because she couldn't afford diapers... or whatever the next best thing I can do in front of me is. So, both with and without coupons, that's what it's all about man.

So I think I may have created somewhat of a coupon monster........... usually the girlfriend and I go together to do weekend shopping!  Apparently she has moved on to her own trips.  This is what she has reported back to me......... The Generator is Awesome! LOL  - Picked up Silk, Bustello, Tropicana, and Colgate without skipping a beat at our local Tarjay.  The CS rep was a young girl and it was about 45 mins before close.  No reaction to them at all - simply scanned, bagged, paid and left.   We also try to pick up things that will store for several months each time we go like mouthwash and paper towels.  Usually we will pick up one or two of these items per trip to add to the "stock pile"  !   That wasnt good enough so she picked up 3 bottles of mouthwash in that store and had gotten 2 in CVS earlier in the day.  .So we are set on mouthwash at least for a few months!  lol
 
Pampers wipes had come up not valid "give back to customer" at CVS which she gladly accepted back and asked they take the wipes off.  Besides that she had no issue at all!

Hey guys, getting my bitcoins in @ 6 PST. (STAY ON PL SO I CAN TRY THEM OUT TONIGHT!) Also I had a question reguarding walmart coupon policy. Do they have a valid remit address on them?  Also I see where it says, may not be duplicated. If this is the case then how are you
guys gettting more than one of the same item?

I notice (only one coupon per item) in the policy... & the no duplicate coupons/ How are you guys pulling mult coupons on the same item mult times in one checkout?

Does Target differ?

Start small amd build up as you gain the confidence to pass them off. When I go to WM I try to stay under 50.00 in coupons so I dont havet to get a CSM. Its not a big deal I just hit Target for the mother loads but a lot I will it WalMart for 2-300.00. So it just depends on the person passing the coupons.

I usually get 2 -4 of the same item items like pizza, milk, soup no problems. YOu are reading way to much into it! Just print them and go use them. Start small amd build up as you gain the confidence to pass them off. When I go to WM I try to stay under 50.00 in coupons so I dont havet to get a CSM. Its not a big deal I just hit Target for the mother loads but a lot I will it WalMart for 2-300.00. So it just depends on the person passing the coupons. Just relax and relax and relax.lol Dont worry about addresses that dont matter its all on there. PL is an artist and master of this and i never have problems with any OC at all.

Walmart 71.00 saved
Local grocery chain 42.00 saved,ALL on the OC collection with the exception of 6 Generator coupons that did almost 100.00 dollars of that chunk saved.

CHALLENGE! .......I just threw down an imaginary hat and stomped the floor in front of you. :)
I would love to have a friendly game of "Balls Deep" to see who does the best on a particular session of  couponing....HEY,I can name it whatever I want I came up with it,lol
The key is of couse HONESTY,and divulging the method of couponing(ex. OC,HC...Generator) oh well...maybe blindmans weed is just too good and I should just eat some of this annies macaroni and cheese that is mocking me.

Went on a run today to check the coupon I made (finally) used 2 of that and a mix of oc for $90 savings <$30 OOP.

LOL, they can never take your RL Karma, my bud. Also, what do I think about that? I think it was just a manager who was considering accepting the coupon if you provided your ID. I own a set of fake IDs and still would never hand my FAKE ID over for that reason... so chances are that was isolated, but we will find out soon if I'm wrong on that. Walgreens has been a fan favorite here, myself included, and so far that's a first for me to hear.

On another note, in almost 300 pages, that last page was the first where I actually didn't make a comment. Been dealing with some RL issues... I just want to say congratulations to all the awesome posts on the last page. Ya'll never cease to amaze me. I might have thought I was good at couponing, but I ain't even close to some of ya'll anymore. I'm particularly excited about shrek, because those custom coupons, the ones you generate, are fucking awesome. The feeling when you pass your own coupons is one I'm extremely happy to have been able to help pass on. I remember the first time I passed a coupon I made myself, and it was a rush above all the rest.

Also, I never said not to use Best Buy, they do in fact work and accept them... it just feels harder for me and others who have reported back to me about BB, but success there certainly happens.

I wouldn't recommend using a fake id.  Coupon fraud is tough to prove but when it's your mug slapped on that fake id it tends to show a consciousness of guilt.  If anyone is ever prosecuted for uttering fake coupons it would likely have something to do with other crimes which tend to show motive to commit the crime, intent to commit the target offense, a lack of mistake or accident by the defendant, the identity of the perpetrator, or a common plan or scheme.
I find it's best to pretend to be grandma.  When her coupons get rejected she doesn't whip out her fake id lol

Hey PL, and advocate,

I didn't provide any ID at all, I was wondering that it would bypass fake ID as they just write down #DL number. Would never put myself in that situation were I was going to get caught up.

They don't make a copy of the ID itself. just jot down some info on the coupon.

Thanks for the beer money! I think everyone who has been around with us knows how much I love beer! Plus it's the one thing I can't really use a coupon for. (I mean I could, but in my state beer companies can't make them, so anyone who was properly trained might realize this can't be right). You are da man! Would +1, but alas, I cannot as I'm on the timer for you. Can someone else do this one for me?

I understood exactly what you meant. He just wanted to write down the information. I actually suppose it would not hurt at all, assuming you only use your fake ID to buy alcohol, and nothing else. But if this is the case, then my suggestion is that you might want to avoid HC coupons all together, and just get enough stuff to keep your dorm nice and stocked and make college life a little easier on you. HAHA but I can't exactly check IDs when I make sales on here either. I personally wouldn't do it, because I use my fakes for purposes other than just entering clubs and buying drinks... I can already do that with my real ID.

Don't get me wrong... I'm not using them for anything criminal. I'm certainly no criminal...

Wait, did I really just say that? Damn, 420blindman, WTF is in this weed I'm smoking?
*the last two lines were sarcasm, 420blindman's weed is awesome and the purest and I'm certainly a criminal, despite being a truly decent human.

Where is a good location to use the Subway $15 GC? I noticed that CVS didn't have them, nor did the Walgreens by my house. Kroger did, but they rejected it saying that the store policy does not allow for free gift cards. I passed the Domino's $20 gc 4 times (Went 4/6) which was good, but I eat at Subway regularly.

PL, if you could edit the Ben&Jerry's coupon to $4.50 off of 1 pint I would be thrilled. The 2 off of 5 is good, but its almost $5 a pint at most stores so I still wind up spending a bit more than I want to. Just a suggestion..

I also want to tell you guys my experience using the Halo 4 free coupon at Walmart. This was the only time I've been scared while using a coupon. I went back to electronics and asked for them to get me a copy of the Halo 4. I presented the coupon and the girl looked at it for quite some time before trying it. It scanned perfectly, but she still required a key turn by a higher up. So this woman takes about 5 minutes to come over looks at the coupon and says she has to check it on their database of fake coupons or what not. She goes to another part of the store and is gone for LITERALLY 20 minutes. I'm like wtf, kinda just standing there. Started to chat a bit with the girl clerk and act professional, but I was getting uneasy. She finally comes back and says well that coupon is a 1'st so we had to take pictures of it for future reference.... So I walked out with the free game, but needless to say I don't think I'll be going back to that WalMart with say the $170 off of a PS3.. hahaha  Any suggestions, or did I handle that correctly?

I think you handled it perfectly. Exactly what I have done in the past. I am always shocked to hell when an HC coupon works and a manager doesn't get involved. I've had the same thing happen, me standing there, anxious, a manager gets called on the phone, someone brings the coupon to them in the back, and then 15 minutes later they come back and tell me all is well and it works! I've also had it happen where they come back and say they cannot accept it, but it's never been anything besides a polite rejection.

@sysco88: Grats, cashier or self checkout? I get a lot of PMs asking me specifics on self checkout which I try to answer as best I can but the truth is I almost never have used self checkout so I don't have the experience. I usually just refer them to the forums, and assuming they have 50 posts, to come on here and ask. I've only used self checkout enough just to test and know they work great, but my personal shopping preference has always been live interaction with a cashier.

Just wanted to repost a quote from the web designer, Klipp, of our .onion generating coupon site, which you can find listed for sale in my vendor profile. He is currently still working his way up to 50 posts, while keeping people in the newbie forums informed on what's going on.

"Alright everyone! I've enhanced the generator to allow for MULTIPLE ITEM COUPONS!

This solves the issue many of you have been having re: using multiple identical coupons in the same run, or having to go back multiple times to stock up on whatever you need.

Simply change the 'Quantity' field in the generator and you can create, for example:

"Save $7.50 on any THREE(3) boxes of General Mills® Cereal"

Which just happens to be the new freebie coupon!

Go check it out, and let me know what you think.

http://couponerpcuhkcyn.onion/

As always, if you have suggestions, comments, questions or testimonials, post them here or PM me.

P.S. I've also updated the freebie download. Now you can simply click on the preview image on the Couponers' Club homepage and it will download the full-resolution coupon!"

Cashier.   At Walmart they don't seem to care unless you go over $50 and then it just requires a csm key whom have never done more than say wow nice savings.  The one time I tried self checkout ended up having to have the self checkout supervisor help as soon as I scanned the first coupon, he was very helpful scanned them without incident.  So yeah I stick with the humans that way I can pick a cashier that meets my criteria  ;D

Ok, good.. glad that's normal. I try to be as presentable as possible. I usually wear jeans and a polo or something like that. If it's cold I'll wear $100 polo sweatpants. I figure it can't hurt and so far when they have said they cannot accept a coupon it has been very politely and most of the time they actually try to help me! I have not had one instance so far where they declined a coupon and haven't suggested trying a different store or contacting the company that the coupon was "made" by.

That's crazy (in my case) as in regards to the CSM approval for over $50 for the OC coupons in my regards. I literally just made a run there and had $220 worth of groceries and stuff ... no problems with the cashier at all or CSM when I handed her the stack of coupons. I just watched it go down all the way to $6.07. Total Savings: $213.93 I got that "Wow" look and comment from her but other than that no problems.
Different story with HC coupons. Any free coupon or one for over $50 has required a CSM and they have always been a pain in the arse for me there but I got my fair share of free electronics from them. :) Walmart is a terrible corporation who treats their employees like dirt...I'll take as much as possible from them.

OK so few questions.

At WM if the coupon is over $20 SM is required...

How about the self check out, what the limit on the coupon?
Say i use -$20 coupon, at self check out, Will that require a manager to jump up and help?

And Purple Lotus, So i noticed there is like new VISA Gift cards for $30 and $50, that are Birthday cards.
Think we can get a coupons made for those, for an update.
I am also interested in American Express $50 gift card coupons.

And ALL the $25 and $50 Visa's are out at my WG.
But there is bunch that are 0-500$ Visa cards, how can we beat this system? Is there a way to make a coupon for those.


Man, if the generator would allows us to create higher amounts, I would do this myself. But I cant, and I'm not going to complain again.  ;D

Yep but it was quick and painless....just smiled at me,turned her key and walked off. The contest I'm talking about would be total $$$$ saved....percentage is cool too but different stores have different prices so i think it's just better to state what PL saved us,shit I know some of his coupons work legit at walmart for OVER the price of the items so that would be unfair to say...WALMART fucking PAID ME to take their shit,lol

LOL man that is great! Shrek yu amaze me with your ability with the HC and OC! Great stories always and your kindness is a great quality to have.
Whats up peeps?
The plan for tomorrow is to try and get 600.00 worth of coupons spent. Then I will have almost my whole year done for dry goods and household items. We are spiting it between 3 people and hitting it hard. I am buying a freezer then I am hitting the meat and frozen foods for that next time. SO much fun cant wait. I can never sleep when I am anticipating a big run.

Yes 600.00. But I do have help so that makes a HUGE difference. Will let you know how it turns out tomorrow. I am sure it will be fine as usual. Maybe I wont have to go to the sore for a while except for milk, bread and eggs. The funny thing is now that I have all my good food I am even losing some weight with the protein powder and fruit. I mix frozen fruit, milk, juice protein powder and a really good powdered vitamin and man that makes a huge difference. I mix it in my off brand bullet blender. I need a coupon for a new one. They are like 27.00. This coupon stuff is addicting.lolI think I may even hit Whole Foods sometime soon. YOu said they have some good stuff there?

LOL! Sounds like you are headed out tomorrow? Okay we will compare Sunday evening. I have to figure out how to load a pic without the GPS coordinates embedded in it. Do you  know how? I was told not to upload any pics without removing some kind of info. Does that only apply to cell phone pics or digital cameras as well? I am only doing OC.

Has anyone used the visa 'pons for the cards with the concealed barcodes? So far every store that has self checkouts around here only has those kind. They have a strip on the package that is pulled of at purchase so you can't match the barcode with a coupon.

If I can find a store with self checkouts that I can buy cards from I'll go apeshit on them. SC attendants don't give a fuck as long as they hear a beep and they're too busy helping morons who can't work the damn things.

I found out that you can peel back the strip and you'll see a long series of numbers... if you can five the exact 5 digits in a row anywhere in those numbers then you are good to go. Like 99366, for example, if that's the coupon you have with you, and you find those 5 numbers under that tab, then simply grab the same card without the tab pulled back. You actually only have to pull it back a tiny bit.

PL I looked at this and was thinking that but after looking closer, the bar code in on the back corner of the card. Just look real close. Hard to see when your nervouse but I promise if you look it is on there, in most cases you shouldnt have to peel back the strip. Please confirm. I remember telling you the same exact thing and the woman showed me I was wrong.lol

Okay fellows I went out today and spent 8.00 and change and saved way over 200.00 dollars. I had enough coupons that I only had to pay 8.00 and change for the 16.00 and change in tax. Basically all my food was free today. Headed back now again to do over 100.00 so I am half done with the 600.00 goal for the weekend. I will be more specific when I am done and if you want to see receipts I will gladly put them up when I rid them of the GPS info.

Thanks PL for everything. I say it all the time but I will say it again. THIS IS THE BEST DEAL ON SR HANDS DOWN AND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY FOR NOVICE SR MEMBERS. That is why I send beer money to PL every time I can. PL LOVES BEER so hook the brother up! He does a lot for us and at least we can do is keep him in beer money and send him some business. Dont forget to help the needy people who deserve it. He needs some BOOMERS from Catfish!lol

So now these pricks ask for ID then scan all of your informtion without asking if they can do that! I didnt sauy scan my ID. She asked for my DOB and I said it and then she wanted to see the ID to verify my DOB and the bitch scanned me. BS! So what happens to that information once they scan your ID? Is it just checking DOB on the program or did they steal everything about me and enter it into a system that can flag me later for something else or compile a database of my purchases? WTF is this for? I cant understand? I ma an American not a fucking slave!I take my Rights my creator gave me really seriously and I do not role over to fascist and criminal scum that have fcuked all of us over. Sorr y for the negative outburst but this really hit me to my bones. I love my country but I hate my government tyrants that push this type of shit to make people getting use to submit to their BS.

I would venture to say most likely it is only reading data, not storing it.  That would cost a lot more to maintain and risk alienating even more customers.  That said, why not consider a fake ID from a vendor here?  Use the free Visa -> BTC -> Fake ID.  Sure wish I could afford a killer fake ID.  What I really want is a passport, SS number, birth certificate, the works.  Can't afford that shit though.  I digress.   :)

I apologize friends for my rant. I am really sorry I went off. I just hate things like that and I cant stand people invading my privacy especially when I am obviously more than 18.

The good thing is they dont store it and it is used to verify age only, so no worries. I hit them for 300.00 nearly today and I am getting up extra early tomorrow to hit it again.

Saved $15 on ********** store with OC, great!

HC collection....epic fail...

Tried Shell 50 card on WG, Transaction invalid, wrong barcode. Told me to go to shell.
Tried -$20 Visa card at Circle K, Invalid transaction, wrong barcode.
tried -$20 Visa card at 7/11 Invalid transaction, wrong barcode.

Went to WM for Kuerig machine, scanned perfect, SM came over, look at it, said hold on, Called District Manager, she checked comptuer and made phone calls. Came back saying this is Counterfeit, and sorry, cant do it.

FUCK ME. I am starting to have negative thought about buying this HC pack...
Look at the back of those cards and match the UPC. The codes are hidden in plain sight and if you are in a hurry you wont see them. It will work if you hit the right store brother. Hang in there, do a little recon and make a plan and you will be glad you did buy it. It takes a little more effort than OC obviously but you can do it man! Check the UPC first. Its on the back on the corner of the cards before you pull off that strip.

BTW I used a BK free whopper coupon that I changed the date on today and worked perfect. Easier than the gift card. Two free whoppers is fine with me. Dont like fast food too much but its fun.

See bro, but I did check. I just want too see if they would atleast Type it in, and let it go anyways, but o well.

Thank you for the confidence boost!

Everywhere I go I see diffrent barcodes, Everywhere,
Only walgreen has the ssame ones, and they work, but the whole $25 and $50Visas are GONE, Whole Rack is GONE. I wa slucky to find one. And even that didnt scan, girl was nice, and overwrites it.

O even tried CVS today for Shell card, wrong barcodes there too. Told me to send it in to the company... Fuck

I PMed PL and begged him to add few more different barcodes for the Visa's, I told him I will even pay for his effort. I would do it myself, but there is a limit on the generator.

I love OC, and combining them with the actual store cuopons, I walked out with alot of free shit. So Im happy.

I just want to go HC balls deep, and I am getting denied left and right, because of the barcodes, thats it.

PL, Please consider my request. I will pay you bro. Please  :-*

I agrree with you here man My WM has all different visa GC codes but the BK and Subway all match. The visas work at Walgreens when I used it. I would like to see those UPC changed as well.  A lot of people buy the holograms for the HC items and that does help. The you have PL that can walk in a store give them a black and white HC coupon and pull it off.lol The thing is when the new HC come out you have to be Johnny On The Spot before all the kids run to the stores with them. i think you will do fine. It takes some pavement pounding sometimes after they been out a while. Have you tried the Xbox, Dr Dre Beats? Those worked flawlessly for me at WMart. I want to see PL put a phone number or website verification on them but i imagine that would take some doing.lol He is good people and I am SURE he will blow our minds again when he comes out with new ones. I love the OC and make consistent cash with those. Like getting a pay raise but when you hit an HC and walk out with an Xbox or another TV from Kmart then it really feels good.lol.

NO PL, you got me all wrong bud.

I appreciate what you have done for me. Saved me a shit ton of money on daily bases. Even added few of my favorites, after I asked. Thanks.

And no, I was just getting mad, cause I got DENIED all day, lmao. I like the HC pack. I am going back, and trying again, and again.

I do NOT want a refund dude, at all. This is great.

All I wanted was some more Barcodes added. Im sure it would take you like 5 minutes to do it. And everyone will benefit also.
I would sit there and edit them, and add codes myself, But I have no clue how, Thats it....
So Im just trying to come to you for help man.  :-\

And Im totally with you on the generator thing.

It doesn't take an inch off of PL's awesomeness. Good point bout the generator

Yeah, I just kinda lost my cool. Was angry about something and just let it show.

but the reality is that a HC generator would destroy this community faster than anything else could... and would put the personal risk I am willing to take at a point I would simply feel like I was pushing things too far. I'm pushing things far enough as it is.

PL,
So, so much for that kid coming back with the custom made coupon we asked for. Been what like 2 weeks now? LMAO.
At least we brought him to the spotlight.
These scammers come in waves, but we take that bug spray, and TTTSSSSSSSSSS, out they go.

I'm completely with you about a HC generator PL. The secret to success is to blend a mix of substantial savings without going overboard. I think you have done quite well so far in finding that formula. People who bash the corporates for greed and then complain about why PL doesn't just make unlimited HC coupons for all the barcodes and all the varieties of cards, well that sounds pretty hypocritical to me.
 I don't think anything is misrepresented by PL and it's made pretty clear the HC pack is much riskier than the OG pack. It's also something that has been around for a while now and has had tons of success. I remember early December when we were all coming with stories of 4 Visa's here, 6 more there. Anything that can still be grabbed now I would consider a bonus.  Hell, PL even put the HC pack on the shelf for a while to let things settle down. As with anything it's buy/use at your own risk. 
Basically I'm getting to this. At what point do you put your own greed in check? This shit has saved me thousands. I'm sure it's done the same for lots of you.  To me it's about preservation, not instant gratification.  There's been a few times I've been set to grab a card and the only thing that didn't work was the coupon. It sucks.  Move on. There are so many ways to make cash with these sets that if only Visas are the focus of your attention, you're doing it wrong.  The harder we hit it the more prone someone will be to stopping this.  I think it's in a nice spot now where we will all be able to have a nice long run. I don't know about you, but I don't want to go back to how I used to shop.

I get conflicted sometimes because I know the day must come where this must end. I thought we almost lost it when I was banned that time, but I was reinstated quickly and it turned out the end had not yet arrived. One day though, the end is going to come and I will no longer be on SR anymore selling these. You mentioned greed, and if I don't ever reach a point where I decide it's my own time to pull out, then ultimately two things will happen. S.R. will stop me, or LE will stop me. As this becomes more and more stressful on me, and I can see it is affecting my real life and preventing me from progressing in other areas, hurting real life relationships, etc... well, I start to feel like it may be in my best interest to be the one who pulls the plug, rather to ride this thing out to the end of the road (no pun intended) and see where my car happens to crash. That's not where my mindset is at today, but I know one day it will be in my best interest to make my exit on my own will.

You must be making good money though?
I guess its better than dealing with IRL customers at a store, or changing oil 200 times a day. :)

Do you have a side job?
or is all your attention focus on coupons and customer service?

We love your work!

I dont think this will end,
as long as you got the generator running, and have a way for us to transfer money for Credits.
We will never be stopped.

Post by: purplelotus on February 03, 2013, 09:17 pm
Yes, I'm making good money for sure. I'm not trying to complain at all, but I'm also a full time student and have a full time job. SR vending is my side job. If I could focus all my attention on coupons, SR, and customer service... I can't even imagine where we would be today... hahaha, but unfortunately I cannot. If SR was my only thing going on, I would not at all be happy with my current level of production and service, but since that's not the case I just do the best I can with it and try to make sure when someone buys something from me, they are always satisfied.

At some point something will have to give and assuming I don't get arrested for starting this, I have a promising life ahead of me even without my SR income.

For now, I'll just keep pushing and doing my best at work, school, and here on SR.

Full time job while full college is nearly impossible. I have to do either one, or the other. Cant both.
And then you have to do this (SR), and answers all the PM, and questions, and requests.

Woo great success today! Didn't use selfcheckout this time. I failed the first time at a self checkout set to not allow "free" coupons. Using a cashier, like purpleloutus has said, is the best option. It's a lot easier to manipulate a minimum wage employee into passing your coupons than a machine. ;)

Make them feel like they would be wrong not to accept your coupons!

This is a lot of fun. I got payed to take my food from the store today. Thanks PL for your work in keeping these updated and the brilliant idea in itself. Generator! whattt you da best.Trying to get some coins for the HC and shall give it a try.
Peace!

Yesterdays Stats:
Neighborhood Walmart- 60$ for 350$ worth of product. (First trip, it was sloppy. Total Practice Run)
Superstore WM- 15$ on on 170$

Today:
Walmart 300$ worth for $3.57
Walgreens: 30$ for 9 (Cigs, batteries)

Every store was super easy and nice. However the walmart I hit today the savings were insane. The CSM was called at the end of transaction. Then a even higher body. The CSM was obiously jealous and tried to tell the higher up that they were similat to some water & coke coupons that had turned to be fake months ago and had apparently cost that particular store quite a bit. So in all I have got 900$ worth of things for my family for about 100$.

PL, when you update the coupons and add to the OC will they update from the same https address or will you make a new address for updates? Thanks ahead of time, plan on purchasing the HC soon!
Also if you ever have to shut down shop have you considered leaving the address up for the OG customers or will you get rid of it completely? Just curious.

about the link changing or not... We literally never know. i don't know. If your link ever 404s then just message me. In the event that I ever had to exit, I would not only leave the link up but I'd also update them through Dec 2013. Someone else would get the bright idea to take them and relist them I'm sure... And this is by Design for me. Good luck to the person who man's up in the event iI ever man down. It's not like i would exit for no reason, but regardless someone would pick it up and that's good for me post retirement. I'm not going anywhere any time soon. no worries

Dude Awesome! So I don't know how deep you guys have got into discussion about it but. Im paying in cash, with my face on camera, vehicle plates on cam, and walking out. If they did legally want to look into this and prosecuting what would happen? How deep could shit get? I mean I obviously dont use the same stores over and over but I know today they told me about a previous coupon fraud that looked similar to mine for coke and water. She said they turned out to be fake and the store lost a couple thousand... So I can confirm that WM does check the statistics for their coupons... By store. If the store is losing money big time I can see them pulling the receipts, finding the exact times, cameras, license, then me... Thoughts?

I just looked in the CIC database and the California Pizza Kitchen shows up there.  Supposedly it's been in the database since the end of November so I'm surprised we haven't run into issues with it more often.  I guess you just can't use it on high dollar binges where they'll check against the database but rather use it at self checkout and lower dollar transactions.

As soon as you noticed that its has been added to SIC website, notify PL immediately, guys!

That way people wont get that WM, "Sorry the coupon is counterfeit" speech.

PL, how do you solve these issue?
Do you make another new barcode and Price for the Pizza coupon?
or should we just stay away from the coupon, once it has been flagged?

I bought 10 of those in the last 2 days guys.lol. Stop worrying about CIC as if he has ANYTHING in CIC he will fix it ad it will not be in CIC now.
No one is getting into trouble and the only thing your doing is being somewhat negative on the forum that we need to be fcusing on positive stuff like spending 600.00 worth of coupons in 2 days.lol Just go have fun!

The 6 that are supposedly in there have probably already been redone! Why are you guys going on about this? You have 100s of coupons that work and you focusing on 6 that probably have been fixed or updated. I have had ZERO problems with any coupons. DO NOT GO TO LOCAL CHAINS AND ONLY USE CASH!! If you do these things you have nothing to worry about at all! These coupons are the best things since hydroponic weed! If anyone should know how they work its my ass! How many have you used? I uses about 600.00 this weekend and if they didnt scan at target then they scanned at WM just fine. Pizza, Water all of them even my woman's tampons.lol

Thats not true at all man. I bet your looking at an old one in CIC. I did a huge binge and had zero trouble! So to say that may discourage others from doing what I just did this weekend. If i didnt know better you would be making me paranoid.lol So if you THINK there is a problem you need to message PL right now and get it straight. be positive and be careful not to scare new customers off by saying stuff like this. Hell I cant even fit anymore food in my house right now. I had to give some away yesterday to the old woman next door to help her because I dont have room for it all.

Dude, chill.  I think you misunderstand my intent.  I'm not saying don't use them at all, but rather be warned you may get called out; particularly in a situation where they're going to look closely.  I'm also suggesting it may not be a good idea to use several at once. 

More importantly, it's the buyer's option to use these however they want; I'm only helping point out information people may not be aware of which may affect how they choose to use them.  If they want to be cautious, that's fine.  If they want to go on $1000 splurges, that's fine too and more power to 'em.  In the end, it's better to be informed than not.

Just to point out though, I compared the pizza one (downloaded 5 days ago) side by side and they were the same as far as I could tell with only the expiration date being different.  I'm happy for your savings and lack of trouble; not everybody has had the same success so please don't insinuate that everybody else's transactions will also be so fortuitous.

Its just sometimes, when they do show that they are on CIC, you get a "Counterfeit" speech from the manager.
So mix and match, with normal coupons, and shop away.

$600!!!
Dam, these stores are being siphoned by you. Lmao.  ;D ;D ;D

And Thanks for calling the coupons to the attention,

They are just trying to help, and keep us safe.... Thats all.

PL has helped me and if I did have a problem I would PM him and let him know before coming on here and talking about it. He takes care of stuff super fast if that is the case with those 6. I have seen it before and it is something he needs to be told and in about 10 minutes he would have it fixed and they will no longer have his active coupons on there and we would have a fresh copy of those 6 coupons or he would just say they are working dont worry.lol

Post by: FramedAgain2222 on February 04, 2013, 05:22 am
To clarify, I don't have a problem with the coupons at all, which is why I didn't and still don't feel the need to message PL screaming bloody murder.  As an example, the CPK is one of my top 10 favorites - I've used it a LOT in the time I've had the OC and I'll continue to use it until I'm way too sick of it.  Going forward, I probably won't use several in one go nor will I put it in my cart when I expect to knock off $100, but I'll still use it as is.

The only reason I even looked in the CIC was because of a prior posting saying that it was rejected because it showed up in their database.  It's still the only one I've looked up because I'm just too lazy to look up the OC.

Long day is right!

Don't get me wrong guys, We went out today and was able to pick up $140.00 worth of weekly grocery's for about $7.00 and used 25 coupons.  EACH AND EVERY ONE SCANNED WITH NO ISSUE most if not all were done with the Generator!!!!!!!!    The information on CIC and the other comments about general safety I think are important.  The more information we have when going in the better we will be prepared for questions or confrontations.

On a side note and somewhat relevant to yesterdays discussion- the couple in front of us today probably in their late fifty's were purchasing a box of nicorette - the cashier indicated she needed ID - the man asked "why to verify who I am?"  she said no to "verify your age"   at which point the entire line broke out in laughter at the absurdness of this request!   The man complied but not before telling her what a stupid request this was!   Of course this was at our favorite french store!

Hey White.

Dont worry Bud!

1. If they asked you where you got em.... You say Internet.... Or Online.
2.if they ask what site, tell em BIGSPOT.com (You had to answer surveys for hours!) they will bite that one.
3.Or Couponmom.com, and say your mom is a crazy coupon lady, who gave them to you. ( works everytime!)

Yeah, they got your face on camera. Not a big deal.

But remember you have to play and act like YOU ARE A VICTIM yourself, of a fake coupon!
If anything is denied...say...
"Dam That sucks, Im sorry for wasting you time" ....works like a charm.

And if the manager ask you, tell em # 1, 2, or 3. The only thing they can tell you is " Im sorry Sir, but we cant accept"
There is no punishment.... they are not going to spend $$$ to track you down.
There are millions of fake coupons, and its just another day for them.
They want to help you!

Stay calm, this is a game! and you are the winner, show them that poker face!
I can see you had an amazing day shopping.... WOW, very nice.
Now do a a U Turn, and go to Target mauhahahahahaha.

b. What coupons in particular are working best from the HC.
c. What gift cards coups are the best working.

I plan on making the long haul tomorrow with the HC to a bunch of stores and if you guys will tell me what ones are working in HC the best I can kill it & report back with full stats. I can guarantee that my source (the buyer/couponer) a old lady will be able to get anything as long as her confidence is boosted from hearing others stories. I know I know read the thread but I actually have skimmed through quite a bit. So if someone could roughly list the best working HC that would kick ass for everyone in the long run.

Thanks X! One last bit of advice I need, Im trying out the HC  very soon.
I need to know
a. Which Stores are working best for HC.
b. What coupons in particular are working best from the HC.
c. What gift cards coups are the best working.


I just got the HC pack also. But I have been doing some research on our threads.

1) Kmart first( I heard they are the easiest for Electronics)
Walmart second for electronics.
Target doesnt accept coupons over $60, computer locks up.
Walgreens for Free Visa's, -$$$ OFF Visa's, Xbox Live cards, and also Free Food gift cards ( I think Im going to try those tomorow,)
CVS is also for Visa's, -$$$OFF VISA's, and gift cards.

You can try  Keurig machine coupon at Walmart, but I got denied last night.
You have nothing to loose, but time. I suggest you try every Walmart on you way for electronics.
and same for WG stuff, every dam store! then wait few days,a nd try again, lmao.

2) PS3, Xbox, Xbox controllers, PS3 Controllers, Head sets, Food Saver, and Xbox cards.

3) Visa's, Xbox Live cards, Free Food cards, Xpress cards.

Dude, chill.  I think you misunderstand my intent.  I'm not saying don't use them at all, but rather be warned you may get called out; particularly in a situation where they're going to look closely.  I'm also suggesting it may not be a good idea to use several at once. 

More importantly, it's the buyer's option to use these however they want; I'm only helping point out information people may not be aware of which may affect how they choose to use them.  If they want to be cautious, that's fine.  If they want to go on $1000 splurges, that's fine too and more power to 'em.  In the end, it's better to be informed than not.

Just to point out though, I compared the pizza one (downloaded 5 days ago) side by side and they were the same as far as I could tell with only the expiration date being different.  I'm happy for your savings and lack of trouble; not everybody has had the same success so please don't insinuate that everybody else's transactions will also be so fortuitous.

No, you won't be called out, because no one really looks at the CIC's website. Not once in my year of being on silk road have I had a customer come to me and say a manager or anyone ever used the term "CIC". As often as my coupons are used lately, the best service I can provide is that I will try to do the expiration updates sooner and in that process, it's just easier for me to do expiration date changes and complete changes to all the offer codes... which is the only identifying information on the coupons. That's the number after the UPC on the databar. I'll change 100% of them all at the same time, I don't need to be messaged every time something ends up on the CIC website. We will just refresh them all at once, that way anything that may not have been reported to the CIC but is still out there in circulation doesn't get reported and I end up in this vicious cycle of being messaged everytime. We will just refresh them all at once and I hope to make time for the enxt set of expiration updates this weekend, even though it's not quite close to that time yet, might as well just wipe the slate clean. Now obviously I can't updated every coupon and change it's picture... but all of the identifying numbers that aren't universal will be completely wiped clean and new and unreported, even if the ones already out there get reported after the fact.

Manager's will tell you "yeah, these are fake" simply because they know fakes exist and not because they went on the CIC's website and studied them. They won't cause a coupon to ring up "invalid" either. Managers can either be laid back and cool or just willing to tell you any story to get you out of there, but this rarely ever happens to anyone with the OC. Every now and then it does, but that's usually just your way of knowing you need to go to other stores, because it's very rare if it does happen, and managers are often as quick to bullshit you as you are them, if they really suspect something.

I think my point can best be made by your followup comment...

To clarify, I don't have a problem with the coupons at all, which is why I didn't and still don't feel the need to message PL screaming bloody murder.  As an example, the CPK is one of my top 10 favorites - I've used it a LOT in the time I've had the OC and I'll continue to use it until I'm way too sick of it.  Going forward, I probably won't use several in one go nor will I put it in my cart when I expect to knock off $100, but I'll still use it as is.

The only reason I even looked in the CIC was because of a prior posting saying that it was rejected because it showed up in their database.  It's still the only one I've looked up because I'm just too lazy to look up the OC.

Long day is right!

So no worries, since it's become a topic of concern, I'll address it 100% across the board, just to elevate the worry any of us might have. Asking me to keep up with the CIC's website every week, simply is not possible for either me or you (as in everyone) to keep up with. Does anyone want to redownload all the files every week, or even worse, just have me list them all as single files... we are talking about hundreds of coupons now, so this is no easy task on anyone. I have a completely clean set of expiration updates and all other distinguishable codes changed promised soon, I'll try my best for this weekend for sure. So that should pretty much put this to rest. It's the only logical way I can handle keeping up with the CIC. If the CIC actually had an effect on whether the coupon worked or not, in any way at all, obviously it would be more of a concern and I would actually work harder to update them every week, but then I would have to charge for that extra work... Actually, wait a second, you've saved how much money? and still want me to put how much work in? How about I make a new set of completely clean coupons every month, and you can purchase them over and over again? We could just change the way pricing works completely and that would solve everyones issue... but if you don't want to pay me any more money, then you'll simply have to accept the best service I can provide you all with. Besides, I promised I would never do that to my customers, I just feel like sometimes some of you need to be reminded of what you paid and what you gained... and of course I love getting messages and try to honor requests the best I can, but understand I'm human too.

@estacydude: I feel like it's about time I show you some kind of appreciation to you... you just did a phenomenal job of answering his questions, when in reality... those answers can't even be provided since it will be different in every area, but still you gave great answers to broad questions... from now on I don't think you'll ever have to purchase anything I list in the future, just send me a message and I'll take care of you on any other future listings. It's an investment which is clearly in my favor, so I'm glad to offer you that.

When you do your GC's and electronics do you try to limit it to 1 per store or if the store takes the 1 do you try to get as much as possible?  For instance, I have near me
4-WM
2-WG
1-CV's
1- Target

You think I should just try to pull 1 per store from the HC collection? & if my visa coup gets denied would I be safe to try to use a different one in the same store or send someone else in later?
Sorry for all the fucking Q's... At least Im a member of the 500+ saved club thanks to PL!
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on February 04, 2013, 07:09 am
Thrills me to hear you are a member of the 500+ club, for real. The personal answer from me is that I never try more than 1 HC coupons at a time, and I almost never hit the same store twice (if I achieve success). If I use a HC coupon and it's successful, then I just go on to my next store... if it gets turned down, then I'll probably try again on a different day with a different cashier... but I have heard stories of people pulling off multiple HC coupons all at once, but it just personally seems too risky at that point to which I think I could be successful at the attempt and not get turned down.

Large stores like WM and Target I think you could hit a little bit more often, but I still wouldn't do it more than once a month with a HC coupon. Now with OC coupons, I just simply don't recommend doing it more than once every two weeks. If you go to Target and saved $100+ in coupons, well that cashier is likely to remember that it happened for a week or so... not that they would know any better, but don't take the chance of putting the idea in their head that something is seriously wrong when this same guy comes in every few days with those kinds of savings.

I also feel the need to put this out there to everyone.... this comment is not directed towards w.o., but let's take a step back and consider how many special requests I receive from people at this point where I'm this deep in this thing... people who paid a very low amount compared to the hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings they have achieved, and are still asking me to make changes that enable them to make even more... well I do my best to do what's in our communities best interest, but if you want me to do something because it's in your best interest **shakes his tip cup** otherwise you have a long line to wait in. It baffles me when someone saves hundreds and hundreds of dollars, knowing the savings will continue to add up every week, and then asks me to do something for them, without them offering to do anything for me. I strive for 100% customer satisfaction NO MATTER WHAT, but come on... are you not satisfied with your purchase? If you feel like you want more, than send some money my way and I'll suddenly be much more motivated to spend my time honoring requests, otherwise my only focus is in the big picture and how to help us all as a whole and keeping things good for the most amount of people moving forward.

Dude fuck all these people that have complaints PL, what your doing for your price is FUCKING BADASS. Anyone that complains should be rovoked. There is a difference between offering opinion and complaining. You have made your money, clearly. But, we have saved ours. For us to ask more of you after we have made an initial purchase for something is kind of wrong in itself. Im sure everyone understood coming in that this will have to stop ONE DAY maybe 30 yrs from now hopefully, but until it does I think you should try you best to keep everyone safe and updated, as that is your duty when offering an ongoing service like this, YOU ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT. You are on a 1 or 2 man show as far as I can tell and you are doing splendid. My family eats, lives healthy, suppports pets, and children have a lot more benefits because of this man.  Im sure PL is doing his absolute best and would never hesitate to get his customers the very best service. He get's his $ just like we do, hard work, hours in front of a computer. & in the end it's really for us to spend 100$ in return we prosper for months!

NO PL, you got me all wrong bud.

I appreciate what you have done for me. Saved me a shit ton of money on daily bases. Even added few of my favorites, after I asked. Thanks.

And no, I was just getting mad, cause I got DENIED all day, lmao. I like the HC pack. I am going back, and trying again, and again.

I do NOT want a refund dude, at all. This is great.

All I wanted was some more Barcodes added. Im sure it would take you like 5 minutes to do it. And everyone will benefit also.
I would sit there and edit them, and add codes myself, But I have no clue how, Thats it....
So Im just trying to come to you for help man.  :-\

And Im totally with you on the generator thing.

Not sure what happened while I was gone but I'd like to say that I suck at HC and I tell people what to believe for a living lol.
I would like to see PL help out a select few of us who are willing to slip some extra btc under the table his way.  It seems the HC market is flooded and only the most seasoned veterans are seeing significant returns.  The OC is so amazing that I pay for the price of the HC every time I do some serious grocery shopping.  I've slipped PL a coin, but he deserves volumes more.  As soon as my vendor account is successful, I plan on contributing to PL's education.  He might spend it on beer, but as long as he's staying in school that's fine with me ;)

Anyways guys we all have tough days.  It's 5am and I'm getting 3 hours sleep tonight as I work on freeing people who's worst crime was making the world a more interesting place for all of us.  We all must make sacrifices for the cause of liberty and prosperity, but in the end we have to remember that we are all on the same team.  The winning team.

Yeah, I just kinda lost my cool. Was angry about something and just let it show.

but the reality is that a HC generator would destroy this community faster than anything else could... and would put the personal risk I am willing to take at a point I would simply feel like I was pushing things too far. I'm pushing things far enough as it is.

Is the generator still available?  I haven't had a chance to try it yet.  I super appreciate you doing that, though!  Are we allowed to share our creations in the OC download you provide?

about the link changing or not... We literally never know. i don't know. If your link ever 404s then just message me. In the event that I ever had to exit, I would not only leave the link up but I'd also update them through Dec 2013. Someone else would get the bright idea to take them and relist them I'm sure... And this is by Design for me. Good luck to the person who man's up in the event iI ever man down. It's not like i would exit for no reason, but regardless someone would pick it up and that's good for me post retirement. I'm not going anywhere any time soon. no worries

Someday I think there might be a small team devoted to the innovation you've shown us.  I'd be interested in being on that team.  Staying one step ahead of The Man is fun!

@bigndn-I F'ing hate Wmart and that corporation. I went on a HUGE rant on about page 40 or so that was pretty intense haha so don't stress bout that. I hate them even more after my last experience....here's how it went:

Went there dressed nicely from just coming from a job interview. Had about 29 coupons that were worth $196 when added up. I always go with my list with the amount next to it in....once I get the item...cross it out in pen. I've gotten pretty fast at getting items and making sure to follow all guidelines. Decided to go to a register with a young girl that I thought I had no doubt I could charm:

1. Handed her the coupons and loaded my stuff on checkout-no problems as she looked through it and was like "wow I wish I had these!"
2. Instead of just swiping all the items at first like usual, which I expected, I'm positive she meant to scan items as well as coupons out of order. I purchased two items without coupons that totaled $7.
3. She even went to manager for 5 mins. and got OK.
4. Continued to move very slow as I helped her put stuff in bags and was nice and apologized for the inconvenience...even tho she was the inconvenience.
5. She tells me "Your total is $71.00"....no f'ing way young lady. I asked for the receipt. I see a bunch of items jumbled around and the coupons all over the place instead the usual organized print out I've encountered everywhere. Her little friend comes by and watches and tries to get in on the situation.
6. I'm very very good at math and numbers, pulled out a piece of paper and located each coupon applied to each item and amount on paper. Not only did SHE NOT give credit back for a lot of items that were worth more which I shoved the policy in her saying so...but she tried to sneak in about 5 voids of coupons!! I couldn't believe it.
7. My math resulted in a $14 total...WITHOUT the credit for coupons worth more than item. I pointed it out to her and her friend as I watched her quickly slip the coupons in the cashiers box (ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!) Her friend goes..."We can redo all of this over at the guest services spot with another manager if you'd like...by this time is 9:45 pm and I'm losing my cool. I looked at my watch and said "I don't think so...I don't have time to get you two in any trouble with your manager, then again I have time to walk over there and show her the "errors" you made in "cashier voids for coupons". Their eyes bulged...she pressed a couple buttons and said "oh I forgot this coupon....taking $35 off my total". Right.
 I'll take it to avoid any drama and I literally didn't have time for this BS. Paid the forty something and split with steam coming out of my ears.

Now the cashiers are corrupt? I'll be visiting the next towns chain and make sure to bend the store over like a prison fish in the shower. No homo.

Regretfully, I have been informed that Klipp will be resigning from the coupon game in order to pursue better opportunities in life. This will also mean we are collectively retiring the .onion coupon generator. I left the choice up to Klipp and he decided it was in the best interest of his personal safety not to let me take his work and continue with it on my own. I wish this was not the case, but I certainly hold no hard feelings towards him and neither should anyone else. I respect his decision and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

The credit listings are now down, but now I have to address the issue of those of you with remaining credits. Klipp has agreed to allow the site to stay live until Friday evening, in which time you will be free to use any many credits as you have left between now and then. Anyone who has credits left that they paid for on Friday evening, will be given a full refund for those remaining credits. If you want to request the refund now, that is fine too. I wish this wasn't the case and I certainly apologize to anyone who this inconveniences. Klipp has been gracious enough to return to me enough money to cover his side of the refunds in advance, and depending on whether people burn up their credits or ask for refunds, Klipp has already handed over the money back to me to cover him and I must admit that shows a lot of class.

This is disappointing news, of course, but one thing I promise is that I am not slowing down anytime soon. Goodbye Klipp, and again good luck! Even though we didn't really make any money together, we had a fun time not doing it. :-)

I agree The Advocate.  I would love to get a "team" going and work with PL.  We could "slip him some % coin" to work with us on different HC items.

Does anybody else have experience making money with these coupons?

Today I used the OC coupons without any problems.

Of the HC coupons here is what happened:

1 subway card worked at walgreens.
The other walgreens and CVS wouldn't accept the Visa Cards.
Walmart wouldn't take the dre beats headphone coupon.

Can't even complain.  I will have saved the cost of the coupons within a few days of just using the OC.

I will try again tomorrow.  I'm ecstatic from my first day and know that I will get some HC's to work.

My idea is to try and get some items like the Keurig, Sodastream, and Roku.  Trade items like those in for something like Ipad mini at best buy.  You can sell those all day on craigslist.

I've heard of other people selling things like beef jerky on ebay.

Anybody else have experience making money with these coupons care to share some tips/tricks?

The only other thought that I had would be that maybe it would be a good idea to get some HC coupons that are for only half off.  That way more stores would be willing to take it.  If I got 30 - 50 dollars off a 100 dollar item, I would be able to make a ton of money by constantly flipping things on ebay and craigslist.

PL you are the man!

I recently made 450 that is in my account. It took a week of planning...a team of friends...and it worked out well. I will update tomorrow on further details as I don't have time now as well as the approval of PL. Also, not to be greedy...but this was a well thought out plan that took hours and a weeks prep to get it done properly, safely, and no trace so I don't kno if I will be exposing it on the forums.

Holy crap, I had the same problem kind of. The CSm came up and tried saying they have had frauds so on and that I had to redo my whole basket since I had free items and more than 1 item of the same coupon. I left my whole 300$ basket, proceeded to the next WM & raped 150$ worth for 23$.

Nearly in the 1000$ savings club! I also third on the team part about helping PL in return giving him a % of OUR profit.

On the bright side, Shrek, I have now freed up more of my time to work on more brilliant ideas.

What about selling our giftcards at something like www.plasticjungle.com?  It seems like its easy to get the Subway and other cards.  Could we sell them or is that risky?

Can you do it? Sure... Is it a risk? Yes. Probably very minimal, but I have no clue how that site works, which might mean I'm underestimating the risk by saying "minimal". I'm certainly sure, yes, is the correct answer though.

Just passed a few more HC coupons (all gift cards) at various stores. Went 3/5 today so not bad and once again it is all how you handle yourself. I always have a story for the coupon I'm going to use and not once has any cashier or manager said they were a fraud even when they dont take them. Its mostly store policy. I passed a chik fil a card at CVS so don't give up hope there. There policy is supposedly no free gift cards but if they dont go to the manager you're golden.

I still have yet to try the bigger coupons, guess I'm a bit scared but the most they can say is no

I've never heard of such a crazy thing happening netipots... have you tried leaving your cell phone in your car or something? GCs don't set off the alarm, because no one would possibly steal them, since they have to be activated, which means paid for, to work. Nothing found on a GC is capable of triggering the alarm. Unless they started putting those metal strips inside of cards in your town for some reason, which again makes no sense.

I'm going to push this one far into the "myth" category for now, as I don't want it to concern anyone... There must be some other kind of explanation for this occurrence. I've been to stores that the alarm broke and went off when anyone walked through it... it was hilarious and an explanation for something like this, even explains why no one stopped you.

Hopefully no one was dumb enough to do this, but I just got this PM

Hey. Maybe you can help me out. I am in a little crunch financially right now. Some of the coupons in PL's HC coupon pack could really put me into a better spot financially. I messaged PL and asked if he could sell me just he HC coupon pack without purchasing the OC pack first. And he could not do that for me. Which really upset me.
I only have $60 worth of bitcoins in my SR account. So I was not allowed to purchase the listing from PL. Here is the message where he denied me. http://i.imgur.com/ajyMhTY.png
I understand where he is coming from, but he doesn't understand that I have people who depend on me and a child.

Would you sell me the HC coupon pack only if I paid you the Bitcoins? Please do not tell PL that I am asking you.

Thanks.

It came from 123kid420 and as expected he as no posts and no history. Obviously I told the dude to fuck off but I just wanted to give a heads up since he's probably spamming everyone in this thread hoping to get lucky. I hope no one here is dumb enough to do it, but you never know.  I'm don't mean to rub anyone the wrong way by saying that, but it's easy to think you can do it and no one will ever know. TRUST ME, someone will find out. Eventually PL will and you don't want to be on the wrong end of that.

With that being said, Glitch has convinced me that since all of you have already paid for my collections, that it is my best interest to delete this thread and knock everyone back into the newbie review thread, so that you can all tell the new users of SR how awesome these coupons are, and therefor I will generate more sales... Thank you Glitch, you are genius!

It almost sounds like you may have not used any coupons yet, in which case the answer is to just test the water with 2-3 coupons, and once you do that with success, take it up a notch until you reach where you want to be and are comfortable with as your big trips. Do not just walk into the store for the first time ever, and toss up 20+ coupons... yeah plenty of guys have done it with success and told us about it, but it also leads to the most problems and issues.

Confidence, experience, and knowledge are all important when doing some of these crazy sprees you hear people talk about and it needs to be built up. Some people are naturally just gifted at being charismatic and can literally go up there and handle anything which might go wrong socially, but I just stick to recommending what's going to work for everyone. Start off slow and build.

That's my two bitcoins...

@kitkat82: If I ever did such a thing again, I would pay $500 to upgrade you to vendor just so you could come join us in there.

Had a nice little run at Whole Paycheck today, with $120 of goods for $35. Thanks PL!!!

Since you have been here since the very beginning, and the fact that we are approaching a full year... I have heard you tell countless amounts of stories of success. I feel like I can literally visualize what a daily trip to the store for 420blindman must be like. I know exactly what's in your cart, how you talk to the cashier, what you are wearing... wait, sorry, I'm not trying to freak you out here... I'm just saying, you're one of the bests, and not just with coupons, but in general.

I sent my paralegal to the store today with a HC and he said they wanted his ID, residence, what law firm he worked for etc.  He got them to say that they've been having some very sophisticated counterfeit syndicate fooling their employees on a regular basis, and that they'd give him the merchandise if he offers the info.  He called me with this and I told him to take it if it scans but if it doesn't scan to have them shred it.  It didn't scan.  Later he said it seemed like they really badly wanted him to walk out with the item.  As if they were performing a sting.   I'm not posting this in the newbie section because I don't want to scare anyone away from the OC, but do be careful with HC from here on out.

Thanks Shrek, you are one of my favorites too! Been an interesting week for couponing... at least for me, but do not worry, I'm still working as hard as I can... I just hope this time I can produce more than what I tried to attempt with the coupon generator. I'm just focusing my time and effort in the next best place. Anyone who bought credits and used them, knows how innovative my idea was... unfortunately I fell short on partnering up with the right person to make it a reality. It came and went faster than my bitcoins did... well, no, not that fast, as I lost money on the deal, but it was fast. Klipp is a genuine and good dude though, he just failed me and let me down as a business partner. Good life lessons for me though, probably worth every penny.

The good news is I am refreshed and ready to get back into action.

I'm changing the rules slightly. It use to be that you had to buy the OC before you could buy the HC, now unless you put have them both at once, you can no longer but the HC before finalizing the OC. Buy them both at once and ill give you a pass and a speech, but no longer get can someone buy the HC at any point while the OC is in escrow. This is on the buyer and against my recommendation.

Just wanted to spread my love for PurpleLotus a little more. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

Yesterday went to Target with my two buddies and a stack of around 150 coupons.

Left target with $369.00 of groceries for $8.69.

That's what I'm talking about.

Used around 30-40 different coupons, the ones that didn't scan (could've been because I didn't check the URL or they were previously mentioned IDK whatever, I don't care) were the Sun Chips and Red Bull.

Thanks man, so much.

Much love  :) :) :) :)

I take it you got burnt on it? Someone cancel the OC and take the HC or something like that? Personally I don't know how you do it anymore PL. I've seen an influx of new assholes recently who I fear are going to be the beginning of the end of this. I said a few pages back that people need to stop being so damn greedy themselves and respect these before they disappear. I think The Advocate even noted a page or so ago that the store flat out told someone that they were aware of a large counterfeit ring operating.  I in no way am saying that they are referring to us, and I write this as I'm about to head out to use more coupons.  But anyone who thinks that this can't be stopped is an idiot. 

It's almost like there are two groups of people here. There are those who respect PL and the coupons,  and what they have done for their own quality of life. And then there are those who are completely ignorant. They complain about PL's rules, constantly bitch about different UPC's and can't figure out why they can't get 4 free $50 Visa's at once.  They also are the ones who will ultimately bring this down.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I do not want to go back to how I used to shop. If people don't start to show more respect for these, mostly the HC pack, they will be shut down. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but the new coupons of value now include a CIC hologram bar behind the Manufacturer Coupon/Exp Date bar.  Fake coupons are nothing new, but they are trying to do something about. It just isn't that easy to stop. But can you print a hologram bar?  I'm holding a real $10 coupon with it. That's nothing compared to the HC pack.

Ok ok enough. Thank you for letting me vent. And realize, I'm talking mostly about the HC pack and a specific group of people. There are lots of good people here. Matter of fact there's a core group that always has been and always will be.  I just hope it doesn't end because of some assholes recklessness.

PL's right, why the fuck should you be able to get a Free Kindle before you know how to get $6 off Beef Jerky?

Hey guys, been a while since I have posted in here. I have mostly been observational up to this point while not hesitating to ask questions. I think there are some AWESOME & I mean AWESOME people in here. Some of which I would like to name... These are the people I trust personally when it comes to info on this topic.

PurpleLotus (above all)
420Blindman
Robotrippin
The Advocate
Glitcht
ecstacydude

These are not all the trustworthy people on here, simply the ones I have interacted with and observed & thought the way they handle things is too awesome.

While at the same time there are people looking to exploit. I also have pondered on ways to make this exclusive... I realize that SR itself is exclusive. But I think for something like this it would be wise to implement several factors
-Username and Password for the Website
-Limited amount of SELECT people.
This I would like to touch on, I do realize that many people have paid for access. However, when you update the HC & OC there needs to be a cut. If people aren't going to be polite and educated enough to get on here and brainstorm, review, and discuss these. We need an ELITE group, a group that is trustworthy, reputable (really not even myself yet as far as standards should be), and people that are not exploiting this. When we have this elite group we will have SO many options. Everyone will be organized, easy to communicate with, easy to monitor, and just in the same context we will have a way less significant chance of this ever getting shut down. I also have been told by numerous walmarts of this high influx of counterfeits. Where I am not scared because a corporate store isn't going to track me down over 60$ in groceries. But when these exploiters make it to a noticeable point, they will take pictures and send emails of these coupons to the stores head of chain. Eventually all cashiers will become aware and this is where the demise begins. We need to establish a Coupon Club we can instate dues and rules. If you don't like it then you don't have to be a part of it. I know everyone will not be exactly open to the idea of paying again but this will weed out SO many people. If you HAVE used either collection then you have WELL earned your 100$ back so there will be no need for anyone to bitch...

Am I the only one who wants to make this exclusive where PL can manage some factors instead of them being wild....

This is JUST my opinions PL, this is your product, thread, and everything really. I am not telling you how to do it. But what I do ask is to read my post, and let me know what you think. I am with the advocate, there are too many greedy people. Lets do away with the bastards.

Yes... It would be awesome to have an even exclusiver collection to the HC of the HC amongst us, It would also be beneficial to distribute them geographically to minimize risk :) But the standards you are setting here, neither you or I fit them (I think) and that would suck, you're also limiting PLs btc supply (I don't think it's his main motive personally but it's a nice side income I'm sure).
I agree that it can be taken too far and most ppl who bought it are probably off the forums by now anyway but I can suggest an alternative.  I'd like to think I play it smart with these but a lot of you play it smarter still so share some caution tips, strategies etc.
I try to avoid hitting the same store twice in two months. After 3 months, it's probably safe to come back to (even with OC). $100 in savings is worth a 20-30 minute trip in my mind (esp if I scored a shell card). I NEVER EVER have or intend to use more than 1 HC at a time nor do I throw in a free gc with my groceries. After seeing the CSM once I'm pretty much done with the store (if possible). I go to the bigger chains and pharmacies (no mom n pop shops as they will feel the hit).
I personally like to throw in some non discount items... (like to keep it at 70-80% discount) and I don't overdo it (pushing 3 full carts around)
These are some of my general guidelines, they might be over/under exaggerated but that's how I operate trying to run the long game and hope that not too many of us are neighbors :)
One time at WM while getting a roku the cashier was telling me about these kids who tried to pass off a fake coupon for 200 off  vita so I know some of you bastards are around here :O

And I agree with PL's policy. There's a learning curve to it, get comfortable in the water, then swim

Stay safe

Hey guys, been a while since I have posted in here. I have mostly been observational up to this point while not hesitating to ask questions. I think there are some AWESOME & I mean AWESOME people in here. Some of which I would like to name... These are the people I trust personally when it comes to info on this topic.

PurpleLotus (above all)
420Blindman
Robotrippin
The Advocate
Glitcht
ecstacydude

These are not all the trustworthy people on here, simply the ones I have interacted with and observed & thought the way they handle things is too awesome.

While at the same time there are people looking to exploit. I also have pondered on ways to make this exclusive... I realize that SR itself is exclusive. But I think for something like this it would be wise to implement several factors
-Username and Password for the Website
-Limited amount of SELECT people.
This I would like to touch on, I do realize that many people have paid for access. However, when you update the HC & OC there needs to be a cut. If people aren't going to be polite and educated enough to get on here and brainstorm, review, and discuss these. We need an ELITE group, a group that is trustworthy, reputable (really not even myself yet as far as standards should be), and people that are not exploiting this. When we have this elite group we will have SO many options. Everyone will be organized, easy to communicate with, easy to monitor, and just in the same context we will have a way less significant chance of this ever getting shut down. I also have been told by numerous walmarts of this high influx of counterfeits. Where I am not scared because a corporate store isn't going to track me down over 60$ in groceries. But when these exploiters make it to a noticeable point, they will take pictures and send emails of these coupons to the stores head of chain. Eventually all cashiers will become aware and this is where the demise begins. We need to establish a Coupon Club we can instate dues and rules. If you don't like it then you don't have to be a part of it. I know everyone will not be exactly open to the idea of paying again but this will weed out SO many people. If you HAVE used either collection then you have WELL earned your 100$ back so there will be no need for anyone to bitch...

Am I the only one who wants to make this exclusive where PL can manage some factors instead of them being wild....

This is JUST my opinions PL, this is your product, thread, and everything really. I am not telling you how to do it. But what I do ask is to read my post, and let me know what you think. I am with the advocate, there are too many greedy people. Lets do away with the bastards.

Nah man, you are really on point. Not to say this is the exact strategy I was going for, but it's very much the same concepts I was pushing for us getting and having the coupons delivered from the new site. I'm glad that I did not make it this far with Klipp, because it could have been much more damaging when he decided to call it quits.

I'm in the process of working with a new web designer who I feel is much more reliable and trustworthy, and I think just makes more sense for all of us. You are correct, maybe it is time we get things more professional.

Also, I am now refunding all credits remaining from the site Klipp took down when he retired. I have the list, and I'm issuing them right now, you don't even need to ask, but I can see now a couple of people are in my messages asking.

Oh, here is some other good news... I've decided to give up Alcohol for the 40+ days of Lent. Lent Starts on Wednesday and why would anyone care? Because me not drinking is an asset to this community. I can't make coupons while drinking, won't even attempt it. Anyways, overall this benefits me in everything I do and so I expect to see better production and results from me across the board. A cycle of working all day, going to class some nights, going out to drink, or drinking when I get home to go to sleep... well you could see how this gets old after awhile. The bad news is, for at least 40 days you will not see me go on any drunken rants. For now until Wednesday... It's party time!

PL

**well I'm trying to send out those credit refunds, but SR is acting up, if I can't get it done in the next hour or so before I go out... they will be there tomorrow for sure.

I know a clearnet designer that'll accept btc to build a CIC-like website.  Totally anonymous, if you clean your btc correctly.

Is there any way we can screen people in order to prevent assholes?  I mean you can just not send people the link for the coupons if they get out of hand, can't you?  It's for the good of the entire operation...

I'm working on a way to make a username and password system for every person so if someone needs to get cut off i can do it easily without changing the link for everyone which iI have had to do in extreme situations. I'm not interested in a CIC website but what I do need is a Web designer to make a legit coupon verification knock off Site so all my coupons will have a date which a code can be put in that will show its exactly the valid coupon it says it is. I think this takes us to the next level, but it's clear net which I think can be done if extreme caution is used. I can make it work but need the Web designer as that ain't my thing.

Don't buy these.  Worst $100 I have ever spent.  They don't work anywhere.  Trust me on this.  Don't buy them.

Ok I had to lie.  Now that I scared off some people...Holy Mother F-ing Savings Batman!!!  These are the best things ever.  I want to shout from the rooftops about these but at the same time I don't want too many people to have them as I'm afraid it will get too big and be stopped.  I'm greedy and don't want this wonderful life of coupons to ever go away.  I want this to last forever.  I was skeptical of these but 3 days later and $100s of savings later I am wondering how I ever lived without these.  PL you are a man among men and a true legend.  I hope to contribute with the rest of you guys here.

I ran into trouble at fry's(kroger).  While attempting to pass a handful of coupons, the store manager was called and referred to me as "shady".  They would not take my more valuable coupons or any coupons which exceeded the value of the product.  Still having success at the local WMs, but I have seen some weird flags.  I have been seeing people with the exact same stuff in their carts as me, everything of which there were PLs coupons for.  One wal-mart wouldn't take hardly any of the coupons, and another one is really onto them.  It's very hit or miss with them, but has paid for itself a couple times already.  Ciao!

Anyway had to say that since you all helped me look for an honest BTC changer that was fast and reliable.

Kroger is notoriously the biggest problem store I've had reports about. Some people don't have issues, but it seems to me like they have done the best job of any store at training their employees. I do think the national chains should be the ones you go to the most or first, but don't rule out local or regional chains. Just be more cautious with these, do your research on their policies, and start off very small when first testing the waters, but I have found some of the best gems are when you can find local or regional stores which you have no problems at with these.

That's a good point, PL.  No need to have your link flying around with scammers and federalees and ungrateful people who don't want to pay you.  Anyways, the web designer is pretty much in my back pocket so just say the word and as long as the coin is correct (I think he charges $100/hour), I can hire him.

I think $10/month would be fair.  This way, if PL has 300 customers, that's $3k/month guaranteed and you won't have to spend quite so much time with customer service.  You can get your life back and have a comfortable passive income.  The rest of us can sleep easy knowing there are only 300 nationwide and therefore the system is likely to continue with less law enforcement interference.  Plus it'd be alike an exclusive club.  One which has a sense of brotherhood and where we work for each other to make this system all the better for each of us.

We are working hard to change certain aspects which will improve the quality for all of us, but one thing I can't do is go back on my word about pricing moving forward.

HAHA funny thought... if I did make the change to a subscription based listing, which would shut out new customers, I could still go take 4chan coupons and post them to the public, but do it honestly, and of course I'm PL, so I'd be hustling harder than N.M. and I could just destroy him by out performing him at his own game, while still maintaining the real deal, just exclusively, plus this would give me the ability to add some people if they really had their shit together. Of course, that won't happen, because I'm not in a position to charge people again for something they already bought, even if a majority wants it that way.

Hello all! White 0ut checking back in! Just wanted to let you guys know what my mom had success with recently from the HC.
3 AT&T Go Phones
Free Printer
1 Prepaid Minute thing

Not to mention the 2k$ worth of savings in groceries I have gotten my parents, aunt, and grandparents.

Most of my most recent post have been similar to many others suggestions. I believe right now the biggest thing is taking this one step at a time. If we can gradually, safely, and progressively move towards weeding out these people who are being greedy and such we will be good! I have contacted PL and he is on the same page as all of us. I believe we have a great group of general and I would literally call most of the people in this thread my friends. I love hearing from you guys and your experiences! Makes me feel great! Let's not flood PL with ideas because I am sure he has more than a game plan for what he plans on doing. But what we can do is keep progressively brainstorming as a group on how we can make every aspect of this better with time. With PL's skills mixed with our minds and his we are unstoppable! I love our progress so far!

I would like to announce that I will be buying the lessons from PL as well as starting to help significantly financially via donation to PL to help kick start this movement. Which is what I would recommend everyone do, because as anyone who is in our group can clearly see PL is far from being someone who would take our $ and run. No, he will take our donations and put them to the good of all of our group. Beginning first with what I think is on everyone's mind and that is the confirmation site! Let's all really strap our boots on and our thinking caps on hella tight, smoke a bowl, and really help PL make this thing even better than what it is so it can taylor fit any needs we as a group (including PL) have!
Take it easy crew! Hella high, hope I made sense!

I'm definitely not bowing out anytime soon. If ever that day comes, I will leave the community in prime position and will also pass the torch on to my #2, so even if I move on, PurpleLotus will still exist and be in business.

I learned my lesson. NEVER delete a thread! In any such event, I will simply lock the thread, but again I personally am not going anywhere anytime soon and have plans to remain in action through 2013 at the least.

Well... Klipp retired from the game and decided not to leave us with the coupon generator in an effort to not leave any traces of him behind. So, no more coupon generator (for now).

Other than that it has been business as usual. I wasted a good bit of resources and time on the coupon generator project, so now I am just regrouping and choosing to focus my efforts in the place I see as being most beneficial to us. After that setback, I was somewhat down about the whole operation, but have since gotten over that.

Thanks for the response as well as pointing me in that direction, I may have to get ahold of some tutoring from you. On that note, I just checked the cic website (which I rarely do or care to do) but couldn't help notice that there are a significant number of coupons that are flagged that all of us "might" recognize...I am not going to discuss it further.

Me and RX are in the process of updating the next set of expiration dates, and we are taking things further than just fixing the coupons which popped up on the CIC site. We are changing 100% of the coupons in such a way that not only will they not be on the CIC site anymore, but even the ones currently in circulation, if those pop up later, it won't matter because we are fixing 100% of them even though it's a low percent of them all that was reported.

My girl did some shopping and here's what happen..

"Went to - W*&^art - to pick up some basic everyday house hold items..... coffee, milk, eggs and TP.... didn't expect a big deal when I strolled up to the register.   Well apparently this women had nothing else to do this evening..... only picked up 58.00 worth of items and with the coupons would have still paid about 28.00  ( not a huge run and we had other items non coupon related ) it all started when the Bustello didn't scan... ( mismatched item ) ok no problem - I guess that gave this 55 year old Hispanic female the brilliant idea that she had to check each coupon going forward.  The eggs were next and she didnt even attempt to scan but instead walked to the next register coupon in hand!  That cashier looked and apparently said " I dont know go ask the manager"  so she called over the manager.  at which point I said is there a problem?  are they not scanning?  and she in turn said no I want to make sure they are valid coupons?  I really wanted to throw the eggs at her at this point! 
 
Well the manager emerged and the cashier handed her the coupons and basically said look they are almost as much as the items!  The manager said which one are you questioning?  I guess because the cottenelle was .03 cents more then the actual product thats the one she was questioning.  So the manager took the coupon and walked away.  I again said ( because at this point theres a line ) do you want me to just take off those items and I'll go up front and wait?  She said no we have to wait!
 
In the back of my head I'm thinking CIC check and the GIGS up!  LOL  Well about three minutes went by maybe a little less and the manager returned with the coupon in hand and said ..............................  if it scans its fine, scan them!    HAHA - In your face is what I wanted to yell but I restrained myself and crossed my fingers that they all scanned going forward..... wellllll they did, 2 milk, 2 eggs and yes 2 cottonelle all scanned no problem....... I think the cashier was a bit disappointed.... which really made my night.... :)"

I have a question for anybody that can answer.  I got a few of the visa giftcards.  Gave them to my mom because she wanted something at BedBath and Beyond.  2 scanned and 1 was declined.  How fast do they turn them off?  Also...I didn't tell her how I got them, and she used a credit card to pay for the extra $20.  So she used 2 gift cards and credit card on one purchase.  When she told me I started worry.  I didn't plan on her using her cc.  Since the visa cards worked and she used her credit card...is there anything I should worry about?

 The consensus is to use those up very quickly...and probably not give them to your mom or anyone else that isn't in on the fact that they're basically stolen merchandise (you're making that person an accessory to a crime; Visa now knows that your mom had THREE fraudulently purchased gift cards, at that point it's a lot harder to say that you had legitimately been duped). 

Sorry to come off like an asshole, but damn, you don't sound like you should be dealing w/the HC collection since it's a far bit more serious than using grocery coupons and all these precautions have been covered about 50 times in PL's forums.  If anything comes of it I think your mom should probably be clued in, so she doesn't accidentally narc your ass out.

LOL Dev, be nice... Not everyone has time to read all 60 pages, and if it wasn't for my foolishness, we would be at 400 pages today. One day reading the Bible will seem like an easier task.

Let's clear a few things up. The VISA GCs I always used right away, like within the hour... whether to put gas in my tank or buy more stuff with coupons. I have heard reports of them being wiped out within less than 24 hours. Now with that being said, I still have heard 0 reports (please correct me if I'm wrong) of any of the GCs being taken back by any other company besides VISA. I gave my nephew an XBOX LIVE GOLD year membership, which he still plays today. I still use my free GoPhone with the free GC I got for it now. Only VISA seems to be doing this, as I am aware.

And no Hamilton, I don't think you have to be worried about anything at all. I've gotten this message a dozen times at least, where someone has done something similar, and I just say don't do it again, and don't worry about it. I think you have nothing to worry about but, worst case scenario, let's just talk this through... your mom gets a phone call from whoever and says you gave her the VISA, you tell her that one of your friends either paid you with them... or gave you some really sweet deal on them half off because they needed the cash, whatever the story may be... I don't think you are going to have LE knock on your door so they can follow your story of where the $50 VISA came from. I think it's pretty much a non issue, since so many of us gave these things out to so many people. In the first couple weeks, when VISA was not hip to us yet, many people were bragging about having more than a dozen of them and giving them away to people. Now that we know they are actually going and wiping the GC once they find out... well we stopped doing that.

So, always use cash, and always spend your free VISA GCs as soon as you score them. Does anyone have any report about any other GC company doing this too? I don't.

I think this has become the official 420blindman review thread too at this point. In the early days of our friendship I use to push him to have a strong forum presence, and he is just laid back and was completely happy with his customer base. He seemed to like talking about coupons more than he did his own product, so I figured I would kill two birds with one stone and just start talking about his product here. Notice he still only talks about coupons?

Oh and here is my response to CPK... may I present to you http://pizzaforcoins.com/ (CLEARNET warning, I am not affiliated with this site but I'm high and apparently you can now buy pizza delivered for bitcoins???)
Now what CPK? Next time you better offer some BTC! Bitcoin prices go up, USD prices continue to fall... No one wants to be paid in USD anymore!

Lol, thanks everyone! Now every time I'm on this thread, I imagine we're all smoking some quality herb, and thinking of ways to help PL with his next genius ideas. I know I am, lol!

Found some info that can help when possibly being questioned about any coupons, not just PLs. The biggest lawsuit brought to big box stores is slander (accusing you of using fraudulent coupons), and unlawful detention (holding you against your will, and with zero authority). Both of these usually end in a payout to the victim, in order to avoid court.
From my personal experience, when being questioned, it's normally nothing, and I'll just ask not to use the one coupon that's causing the trouble. However, when they have an attitude or are being snotty, then I'll raise my voice pretty loud and demand if the are accusing me of a crime. I make a scene, and demand to see management. I request that the cashier be fired when my coupons scan, for treating me like a criminal. And they always scan, so the store is left with a handful of paper, a jackass cashier who probably does get fired, and now has to review and retrain they're personal on how to treat customers with respect. Of course, I won't visit that store for a couple of months, but when I do return, I make sure to maximize my savings, and fucking them over as much as possible. It's my favorite pastime, fucking the system with PLs coups.

HAHAHA at first I thought I just may have created a monster in 420blindman, but the better I get to know him I realize he was a monster a long time before I came around.

***On a serious note, the 420blindman of handling management can be effective in the right situation, even I've done it to a minor degree, but let's remember he is blind so people give him a lot more slack... on a real note, not everyone is cut out for the 420blindman strategy, so just be you and do what works for you. I don't even want to imagine someone like Vinny or JoeyPesci attempting that... it would end with handcuffs I'm sure, and not because of the coupons at all.

So very true. PL is right on. Just being yourself is always best, and acting happy and friendly works 99 percent of the time. I've been at this since PL started, and have only been questioned twice. And I use coupons 4-5 times a week, so being nice and friendly has it's perks (of course, not as awesome as the perks that PLs coupons give you).

Remember, you only need to convince 1, maybe 2-3 people to get what you want. Practice your social engineering skills, and you'll be fine.

Is it wrong to use our power for vengeance?

I can't use coupons at my former employer, their LP guys know my face and they'll go way out of their way to chase every last cent.

That being said, they fucked me out of a job (it's all good, I'm making much better money now) and I figured I'd distribute some happiness throughout their stores in the form of random coupons left by their corresponding products. Seeing how the whole collection is about to be updated, what the hell right?

I would advise against this.
1. If the lp guy notices and happens to watch you on the cameras walk around dropping off coupons he may easily go behind you, pick them up and look further into them and possibly leading to undesirable situations you can easily avoid.
2. Even if the coupons are going to be redone, I would still advise not to, as it keeps the exclusivity to us.

If you want to really stick it to the store, I'd say give your friends a few lists of items and stack of coupons and ask them to do the favor, otherwise like the saying goes " It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an ever stronger person to forgive."

In other words, let it go, and enjoy the success with the coupons at all the other stores around. That way you at least always have a store you can walk in to and use your debit/credit card when you don't have cash on you .

just my .02
others will chime in

HELL No don't leave these coupons just laying around.  These are very valuable and should only be shared with people who can handle such things.  Definitely don't want to just leave them laying around for who knows to come across.  Plus these people want coupons let them figure out how to get them so PL gets paid.

They have cameras which will see you, and they will recognize you... then if they later discover they are also not real, then you have NO way of saying "oh I didnt know, I must have been scammed"

If it wasnt for that mess, we would have had more additions by now. More additions coming soon, but right now me and RX are foucing on full expiration updates and full CIC information revisions so we no longer will have any coupons, or even the ones currectnly in cirulation being reported in the future.

I've been so busy lately I haven't be couponing on a big level. Just making sure my cat had food and that's about it for the last 2 weeks. Not sure what was into me at the time, but today I finally went back to old school couponing. Went to Target with 25 coupons, all worked. Saved $160 and paid $27. All $27 was from giftcards I had earned though. So it was a big free event that could not have gone smoother. The I had a few coupons left so I went to Walmart and then Petco. Got some cool things from Walmart but this bitch at the register was trying to bull shit me so I said "Have you ever read Walmart's coupon policy? Because I have."

She was embarrassed and wanted to tell me off I think, but she also knew she had no idea what the policy was and there were 3 angry women behind me, all pissed at her but not me. Petco takes my coupons like they are excited to di ti everytime. I wish I had more Petco coupons because they just seem happy abut the cool coupon.

Petco huh.  Never thought about going there for the cat stuff. My cats have been spoiled rotten by your coupons but I feel like an idiot for not going to Petco. Mostly since there is one right next door to my favorite Target. I usually go there twice a week for litter and can/dry food.  Now I can double up! I'll try it tomorrow.

I had a killer weekend too. I finally got a chance to take both kids and my wife with me. When I'm alone I keep the coupons around $60, I'm not exactly clean cut so it does come across odd when I have a shit load of coupons. But not with the family! We hit the stores on back-to-back days and killed it. Total savings of over $400 for two days.  I even had to buy new shelves since I'm running out of place to store it. Not a bad problem to have.  Can't wait for this update, I'll be sure to kick a coin or so your way when it drops. Keep up the good work.

I hope real world karma knows his name and what he has done and rewards him like the fucking prince that he is. Thank you sir. Anyone who can spare some coin, please send him a tip. Anyone who has not bought his listing, do it, if it helps you half as much as it has me, you will not regret it!

quick Q for the masses... i had a recent bout with paranoia and wiped my comp....no worries it had nothing to do with pl,
but it did get me thinking on security...my Q is what is the safest way to store the coupons? is it safe to just DL to desktop and extract from there or is there extra steps im missing?

also PL any chance you add the free generator coupons to the pack? i lost the 3 box of general mills one....my favorite by the way!

as far as trip reports go, ive had no problems to list...i now have enough coffee, deodarant, toothpaste for a year...im going to srat on vitamins next....whats some good vitamins to try?i dont know shit about fitness but thanks to pl i can now afford it!

Hey I am in the same boat as you WoW... I am about to wipe my shit too. How did you do this without deleting everything? I only want to wipe the coupon DL's and TOR. Also my advice to you would be to look up Flash Drive Encryption. This is the best way to store files!

Post by: whiteonwhite on February 20, 2013, 05:23 am
nothing fancy i just took all the family pics and such and moved them to my external...then i just took the internal hd and drilled the bitch and chucked it in the river...i had a new one ready to go anyway...it was time for a upgrade.

if i had the coupons on a normal flashdrive no encryption but kept it in a dif location, when i go to print will it leave any trace on my comp? and to be extra paranoid should i print from a offline comp? or does it matter?

WoW and WO the same people ?  :o

Anyways, to answer a question. To permanently delete files on a hard drive(not just deleting into recycle bin) you are going to want software to write over it a bunch of times. If you want the process explained I can but I am to lazy at this point and I figure if I point you in the right direction you should be able to get it as you are on tor/sr/etc.

A clearnet search for ccleaner, bleachbit, and similar products will do just that though. Erasing deleted files while keeping your OS, pictures, music and so forth. Check them out and do your research as some have their pro's and con's. I ran 2 different ones to target my files, so research.
Otherwise, reformat the !@#$ out of your harddrive.

Secondly for encrypting and keeping the files. Truecrypt should be your best friend. Make a container that looks like an mp3 file. make it the appropriate looking size and toss it in a file full of mp3's.. no one would ever know unless they tried to play it.. and then set up a hidden volume within it.. should you ever be tortured to reveal your password(pw1) it opens up one the container (or so they think) and just some porn or whatever. Little do they know you have the real password (pw2) that is the lock to the real good stuff.
you can even go further and hide a container in a hidden volume..

otherwise learn full system encryption...

I'm tired, if you need explaining or want more I'll do so, just ask.

Happy couponing everyone!!

i already use cc all the time are you talking about the drive wiper? im pretty sure you are.ill have to remember that one for the future and your not the first one to suggest true crypt but you will be the last...im going to get that sorted first chance i get.

As soon as I can +1 I will both of you. Cool names, I get it. haha, I was beyond tired last night writing up that info. Yes though, ccleaner is what I am talking about and truecrypt is definitely cool. If I'm not mistaken a judge ruled a defendant didn't have to give up their password to their encrypted drives. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I saw that on a blog somewhere.

Post by: purplelotus on February 21, 2013, 05:40 pm
Awesome discussion. I was sick the past 24 hours so I am only now catching up on messages and the forums. I did manage to still fill orders and even attempted to answer a couple messages but ultimately ended up in the bathroom... if anyone sent me an important message and it appearts "READ" but you did not get an appropriate response then it's possible it was the messages I was trying to read last night before getting very ill again, and then I just shut off my computer, turned off the lights, and laid in bed. I am rather certain I left a couple people hanging in that event.

Anyways, I like the discussion, and the reality is I think the only person who will ever have to worry about whether a judge is going to ask for a truecrypt password is me. I can't ever imagine a scenario where having coupons on your drive gets anyone else in trouble unless they are me or trying to do something like me. I still highly agree that encryption should be used even if it seems unlikely you would ever get in trouble.

Even though I'm probably the only person who ever might be targeted for coupons, that doesn't mean there aren't others of you who are out there committing you own sets of crimes and if caught for those and your computer gets seized, well I actually don't know if it's a crime at all to posses these coupons. As far as I know, it is not illegal to posses theses.

Anyways, my health is much better today and I am catching up on everything I missed. I know for a fact II left one very important message unanswered while I was having my issues last night, so I'm trying real hard to identify who that person was.

PL


Also some of you may notice some of the HC coupons do in fact expire today. Those updates will be released this weekend, just be patient with me. I did not intend to ever let anything expire before releasing the updates, but this will quickly be resolved.

All of the OC coupons are still good and valid, but starting today some of the HC have expired. 100% HC updates will be released on Sunday. Sorry for the delay, this was planned to be finished by today, but I was unable to due to illness. They will be posted on Sunday for sure, and the the OC updates will be posted shortly after but before any of them actually expire.

Hey White Out osry for being MIA.  I've been super busy.  Either Sunday or Monday I get all the tech goodies set up, including TorChat.  Happy shopping!

Oh and as for entering passphrase, yes it's possible in some cases to be held in contempt.  They can't force you to utter it, according to SCOTUS.  They can put you in a room without supervision and have you enter it.  Same as handing a key to a safe over, or offering DNA samples.  Your passphrase is not privileged against self incrimination.  The government can make you do all kinds of self incriminating things, but most people seal their fate verbally.  On a side note, depending on the facts of the case, you might be able to avoid the contempt charge if you can show evidence to support a finding that you don't know the passphrase.

Great discussion indeed. been absent too long.

I would love to hear about circumstances where you can claim no knowledge of the pass. a public computer, sure, on shared computer it would have to be 1 of the 2-3 peeps that share it.
I guess in a time when philosophy is history only good lawyers can prove negatives :) might need to get me one lol

STD for PL you say? Nah, he's gotta coup for Magnums....unless he was blinded by someones weed....

Yes, you can cut n paste to make your own updated coupon, but I'm waiting for PLs next update, because the evil genius is updating in a way that is a couple of steps ahead of CIC ;)
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on February 25, 2013, 12:53 am
LOL YOU CAN JUST PHOTOSHOP IT! Ha, but I am finishing the HC updates now and they will be released in a few hours live. I certainly didn't want people to have to photoshop them on their own. I'm handling it, just a little delayed due to illness. Tonight gets full updates through the next 3 months. A few of them won't be completed tonight (because I'm still waiting on RX for his full page work, will look better if I let him do it and most of those are still good for another month atleast).

Then OC updates should be 100% finished by next Sunday, but this is a much larger workload as the OC is way larger and we also promised full changes to the GS1 barcode associated numbers to keep them all 100% CIC unreported. We are doing 100% of them and not just the fraction that were reported. This is my idea to eliminate any unreported coupons which will still be in circulation from getting reported after I do the updated... this way no matter what happens, we all start off with 100% fresh coupons which it will be quite some time before the first one ever pops up on the CIC list again. The CIC list is meaningless andf does not really effect the coupons or how they work or their success, it's just something we keep up with for piece of mind to our customers and also to show we will do anything to produce quality work and stay ahead of the game. If this was for my personal use only, I'd never care at all if it was on the CIC list or not... but I want everyone to feel comfortable and not to have to listen or believe me when I say it doesn't matter.

I can't wait to be done with the updates! I am excited and ready to focus on a revamping of the HC collection and make some serious additions and changes. I want to recreate the excitement we all had when it first came out, or when you first got it.

I'll likely be working on other projects in some form or the other too, but my only focus now is getting out the new expiration updates for the OC after tonight's HC update, and then my main focus will be on a redesign of the HC collection with new coupons, options, angles, and awesomeness.

Ok I did a nice headset one exactly like the Beats in Ear on with the "b" watermarks for now. When I start the revamping of the HC collection I'll come out with a full page version. All I have left to do is the alternate UPC coupons for the VISA, otherwise they are all 100% updated and I am beginning my uploads now.

I actually use the Reese's coupon to buy Reese's PB, did you mean the JIF coupon? Havent heard an issue with it.

And @Advocate, if you drop me a message every week, just asking what you missed, I'll be sure to give you a quick breakdown of the highlights for the week. No charge necessary, just send me a message to remind me and I'll give you the bullet points.

Maybe I should just create a powerpoint once a month to keep people updated. Easily we can get 40+ new pages on the forum in a month, so a monthly review might benifit all! HA, ok I'm going back to work to get these done. Will report back when all is good.

Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on February 25, 2013, 08:56 am
is this beats by dre $250 coupon new?

I have been doing updates to coupons while alternating between homework for the past 14 hours basically... I think I explained this was just a normal coupon I would toss in today to fill jacob1234's request until I do the revamping of the HC collection where I'll be making new coupons and changing the way some of them are coded to keep up with the changes in stores recently. Is the design of this beats headset coupon new? It's basically the same design as the in ear coupon with the same watermark and all. I made that design myself and I coded these barcodes myself, but it's certainly not new considering I designed the beats watermark months ago and originally used it for the in ear coupon. I'm not sure what you are asking here. jacob1234 made a request while I was working on updates (a fine time to make a request imo) so I made sure to fill it and yes it's a brand new never before seen version of that coupon, with that design for that item.

man you slow, all that weed is dulling your fine motor skills. lol.

im new to this so maybe can explain if this is for a reason.  on the HC-Visa pack(yes I know its not updated) a few of the coupon amounts dont add up.(Words vs GS1)

visa25gc76750.jpg  Free $25 GC, but in reality it is a "Buy 1 get up to $60.00 off"
vica25gc99366.jpg  Free $25 GC but in reality it is a "Buy 1 get up to $100.00 off"
visa50gc76750.jpg Free $50 GC but in reality it is a "buy 1 get up to $60.00 off"

looks like ti was just easier then encoding a new gs1, but wasnt sure if this was intentional.

thx

Again, a full revamping of the HC collections design is my first project after finishing the OC expiration updates, and changing the way Giftcard strategy is deployed in the future will be one of the major bullet points in the updates. It was originally programmed like that by intent, but my intentions are now to take them away from "Up to..." to just straight up "This amount off.." either way there have been pros and cons and no complaints from those people who actually have used that coupon. It gave the cashier the ability to take off the $5 fee also. Pro being you don't pay the fee, while con being the cashier has to manually enter the amount which I know some people don't like that. Everyone has a different preference... I have already taken the VISA thing far just by giving people the options on denominations and separate UPCs. This will be further addressed in the new redesign to the HC collection along with some brand new/fresh templates for everyone.

I'm going to quote myself and what I said to you in PM 30 minutes ago, because it applies here just as much as it did in PM, and now we seem to be having the conversation in public:

"I'm glad you take this stuff seriously. I try to treat it as seriously as I possibly can with the time I have. With the way I designed my business model, it has been very successful, but since it was designed not to have people continue to pay me all the time, what happens is that I have more and more customers who have paid while the number of new customers is not going up... so the income stays constant but the amount of work just keeping up with existing customers grows exponentially and the amount of time I can spend enhancing the quality of my actual coupons and adding new solid quality content is constantly decreasing. It's not like my work ethic has changed, besides some inevitable burnout, but the workload just with messages and vending has increased immensely over time. "

I feel like I'm going to grow up to be an old man, still smoking pot, threatening my grandchildren with "If ya'll don't knock it off, I'm going to have to make a coupon for that shit!"

Yeah, I'm kinda high...

I'm going to have to start smoking pot again, it's the only drug other than alcohol that I can use regularly and still give a damn about the rest of my life. I swear, I use anything else even once and it ruins a week of mine, I've a hard time recovering anymore!

Okay. Adventures of today:
First stop: Best Buy, checked out the beats. UPC on them was 48447 followed by 0s.
Next stop: Target, Beats had the same UPC as the ones at Best Buy so I decided I would try out the full page Xbox Gold 12 Month coupon. Scanned as "not a valid coupon." The first five numbers of the UPC matched up, but it wasn't a regular card like shown it was one with Black Ops II picture on it. Not sure if that was the problem or not, but needless to say again, it didn't work at Target.
Next stop: Walmart, didn't carry the Beats, but the full page 12 month live worked good. She called her manager over and he looked at it for a few seconds typed some shit in and that was it.
Last stop: Another Walmart, had the beats. Looked at two different boxes. The white ones had the UPC on the coupon, but the black ones were the same as Target and Best Buy. Took the white ones to the register, scanned the coupon, manager was called over and I was told "They don't make manufactures coupons like this. I can't accept it."
Then I went home and smoked a bowl and listened to music on my shitty Apple headphones instead of new Beats.

Anybody have suggestions for what to do if the manager says no? I only went directly home because I was slightly afraid he might have called other managers in the area telling them not to accept my coupon. I DID get my coupon back and he didn't get any info other than looking at it.
PL hope this info helps ya.

Okay. I've done a little bit of recon on the Beats Studio. Here's what I've found:

White
Apple: 848447000074
Best Buy: 848447000074
J&R: 848447000074

Black
Apple: 848447000005
Best Buy: 848447000005
J&R: 848447000005

I stopped there because I'm guessing these are the right UPC. So Beats by Dre changed their manufacturers code? Should be an easy fix for my man PL. :P

The rest of this week and this weekend will be dedicated to full expiration updates and CIC wiping of all the OC coupons, but then after that the focus will shift on to a revamping of the HC collection, so yes, let's certainly at least discuss ideas and opinions on Hc coupons. Any new ideas you might just want to mention, or just support others ideas, but what we can be sure of is just like in the past we will be focusing the actual work we do around what our customers are asking for.  So same as for the Kindle Fire HD coupon, if people continue to talk about Beats (as they have a good bit the past 24 hours) then you can expect we will put some attention into alternate beats by dre coupons. The alternate Kindle coupon turned out to show some good success, so it has not turned us away from this strategy, but sometimes people just get carried away and start asking for an alternate just about everything under the moon... but it's safe to say I'm not making multiple versions of the same coupon unless there is a clear demand and benefit to multiple people.

So feel free to express your ideas for new HC coupons either on this thread or in a PM. I will be compiling a list of the items so we can begin to plan and prioritize. Most of the OC updating is mindless work anyway so at least I can begin brainstorming while doing these OC updates.

I think there are also two video games (for Xbox) on the list as well.

Yes, if you're going to use those full-page prints for the video games I recommend you print those out on a decent printer, full color, probably on a glossy paper. I've been thinking about buying shroomeister's holo's to add to these prints as well, just to add that extra kick! Just about anything else in the list can be printed in B/W in my experience though on regular stock.

On that note, I'm off to get another gas card then off to work!

Post by: handsoap on February 26, 2013, 03:47 pm
Glad to see the beats are hot topic now LOL
So I think I figure out the confusion. Beats products were manufactured in Monster Cable's facilities for Dre and HTC.
They did not renew this contract and as of late 2012 started manufacturing independently. At this point they started using their own upc. PL I'm sure you know the new # by now LOL.  So the original coupon was released in time to pick up the left overs of the old cycle which ran out fast. Serious amateur hour PL, step it up ;)
The # on the coupon still matches all other Monster Cable products and therefor should scan for their headsets if you are a master bullshitter or if you have an inside man. I have neither :)
So my suggestion is, since it appears to still be in demand, either PL or RX can change the coup/full page text to say Monster or just redo the upc. No rush, I gave up on these a long time ago LOL
And the CSM who shot you down was probably right, I doubt they make coupons like that. I believe almost every store reserves the right to refuse any coupons so IMO not much you can do if you sense it's a firm NO, just take the paper back, say I believe you are wrong and I will take it elsewhere.
Hope this helps

Thanks handsoap, good info on the reason behind the change in UPC.

@LolIWin: not sure what you mean, but if you plan to use any of them and you don't yet have them saved, then yeah just download them now.

My goal is this weekend, but it is possible we fall short of it. It's now two people working together to finish a piece of work that is uniquely both of ours. Something could happen and RX could have another HD crash, or I could get sick... if something holds either one of us back, then the full product won't be finished. I have the ability to finish all of RX's work myself in the event he had a serious issue,so it's not a concern like that, it's just that a delay cannot be guaranteed not to happen. There is some uncertainty when you have two guys both working together to reach one deadline, and we have learned once before that shit can happen, in which case either one of us would be picking up double workloads and that would result in a couple more days delay. If I was on some kind of break from classes right now, this shit would have been done and over with, but as it stands we are already using all of our free time to finish on time. Oh, plus the OC doesn't expire this week anyway... we are trying to stay ahead so that accidents don't happen.

I've got great news for everybody. Went to Walmart... Got some Beats Studio... Cashier rang up the Beats, rang up the coupon, called the CSM, we waited about 10 minutes before she finally showed up. She looked at the coupon, the cashier was pretty knowledgeable he was saying it's got all the valid information on it. She took the coupon saying she'd have to talk to somebody, only referring to this somebody as "she" I'm assuming it was the general manager. About 10 or 15 minutes later she came back and said "she said as long as it scans we can take it." Just like that, he rang the product up again the coupon up again as well (because he had aborted it when she left to talk to the other manager) the CSM put her key in and typed her code. And just like that I've got a new pair of Beat Studios. OC and HC coupon packs just paid for themselves.

I will also point out that the UPC on the box is the new one and I did not alter PL's coupon in any way, so I'm not sure if they didn't look at that or if it just didn't matter much to them. Anyways about an hour at Walmart and $54.07 was well worth it.

Of course we have, I went hard on the itunes cards in the beginning, I haven't picked one up in at least a month now though.  In one weekend I was able to get over 50 cards.  I can't remember how many I ended up adding to my account, but I still have over $300 in my account as of toady.  I also made close to $2,000 on ebay & craigslist selling them and received 0 negative feedback so I am assuming they all worked.

Awesome I'm gonna add these two to my account then. :D

I'd also like to give an update to the community that I went to Target again and was told their policy is not to accept INTERNET manufactures coupons. That was with the Beats Studio. Was rejected twice from two Targets the second told me exactly why, the first was just a bitch about it.

Also regarding the Shell gift cards. Where the hell do they sell these things? I've only found one at CVS. And she didn't accept it because it's midnight and didn't want to get in trouble. :P I'm assuming Walgreens carries them since CVS does. But I've yet to find them at Target, Walmart, BestBuy, etc.

From my experience, Target will not accept coupons for $50+ based on store policy.  I'm sure this can vary from location to locations, but all 3 I tried in the midwest (multiple cities) have said no coupons (internet or otherwise, I print them on quality paper) will be accepted.  I have yet to pass a HC coupon at Target - even the $40 off AT&T prepaid phone and $25 free AT&T gift card didn't work there.  Haven't had issues w/ Walmart yet though, they've accepted every coupon I've brought their way (AT&T phones, $25 AT&T gift card, xbox live 12 month, Black Ops Xbox, etc)

I will say that I might have burnt the Southwest GCs at Walgreens in my area, but that's the only coupon I can think of that hasn't worked for any legitimate reason.  Sometimes people aren't willing to take them b/c a manager isn't around or for another reason, but otherwise I've had excellent success rates. 

Stay classy and don't act like you're doing anything strange.  Worst case scenario they tell you "no", just remember that. 

As far as people asking what would happen if you got caught, how would they even deal w/ that?  You could just say something along the lines of "I took an survey on AOL earlier, and Google told me I got a free iPad" - I don't really see them being able to arrest you for anything.

Haven't posted in ages, but I've been lurking forever, read every page. 

Anyway,  I have a few suggestions for coupons.  I think it would benefit all of us greatly to see a coupon for normal coffee such as folgers or maxwell house,  as well as doritos, oreos, band-aid, and old spice products.  + karma if you agree  ;)

As for a quick review,  I've saved probably around $1k from the OC on things I use every day alone.  Frys (Kroger) in my area is really bad about coupons and the CSM even went so far as to call my sister and I "shady people". 

Also, a quick question to all you regulars.  How do you avoid that awkward silence while the cashier stands there and scans all your coupons?  What is a good way to spark up a conversation?  A kind of foolproof line I can drop to get some words rollin.

walgreens has sent out a bulletin to all their stores in my region.  it explains that there is no such thing as a free gift card.  Had some of my first rejections today.  I went to 4 walgreens and 1 rejected.

A CSM is basically just a politician born with a B type personality. They will say absolutely anything just to get you to go away. If you went 3/4 at Walgreens today that is a pretty bad ass success rate for the HC collection. It's about exactly what I average myself. Sometimes I'll go 5/6 and sometimes I'll split 2/2. Just depends.

A lot of people will get told something by a manager and then come talk about it here, and I hate trying to play devil's advocate just because I'm the vendor so of course that's the stance I'm going to take, but the reality is they are just as likely to lie to us as we are to them (and we are the ones with fake coupons in our hands remember) so I take what they say with a grain of salt and simply pay attention to patterns, both for me locally, and for all of us nation wide.

i actually enjoy the cashier now, ive got a system...i just start talking about sorry i just ruined your day with all these coupons, then a always grab a soda from the cooler..."is it to late to add this"? gives me something to do with my hands...i never know what to do with them when i get nervous...but just act like they are real...be nice, and i always act as shocked as they do at the total....get excited...i always say something like " i broke it" when the mng has to come up to turn key.
also know your stores coupon policy....i had a wm refuse a green giant and cheese because it says internet next to manufactures and they dont take internet...i tried to fight it a little but only to prove the coupons were real, i guess i figured if i argued alittle they would assume they were real.one wm gives me the full amount for the coupons off another only gives me the amount of the item...lucky for me there are 5 wm withen my area...ive never tried target yet


also the HP printer ink is expired :-(...i know pl is on it (thanks pl) but thought id point that out just in case you had plans on picking more up
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on February 27, 2013, 05:30 pm
I play each situation differently, but one thing I always do is watch every last coupon scan and come up on the register. By now you have discovered that most cashiers don't give a damn at all, and just scan through them mindlessly. I have had a few mistakes made in my favor, but more often than not, a coupon won't scan up correctly and the cashier pays no attention and keeps flipping through the next coupon right away. This is not exclusive to my coupons, but all coupons that exist. Actually some say my coupons work even better and more often than the regular ones.

Think about it... what would a person who takes couponing so seriously that they can collection coupons to cover 80% of their bill do? They would be watching that shit like a hawk. They wouldn't be trying to act natural and like they don't have a care in the world. Only someone who had nothing to worry about would be acting that way... and in this situation you do in fact have something to look like you are worried about, your savings. To seem disinterested, or solely interested in engaging her in conversation might not be the look you really want. Of course I do always keep them smiling and interested and engaged too, but I want to be viewed as someone who takes couponing seriously, so seriously that she shouldn't even think to question whether or not I'm serious about this.

I feel like if I hand the coupons and then try to keep myself occupied or busy by grabbing a drink or playing with my phone, or whatever, that is in fact the tell of something not being right about this situation.

PS thanks for the heads up on the HP ink coupon. That was a special requested coupon which everyone wanted and got made outside of the normal cycle of updates I would do, and so it makes sense why it has an expiration date that's not within the same 10 days of the rest of them. I also think you are missing a beautiful thing by skipping Target and only hitting Walmarts. I personally do the exact opposite now. I love Target.

I feel like every now and then I have to point out for people who may be brand new to this and reading my thread trying to make sense of the reviews. I sell two collections, one with normal everyday stuff like food, toiletries, and cleaning products. All of items under $10 and then a sell a second collection with really extreme coupons for like FREE VISA gift cards and high dollar coupons off electronics. So when you see someone refer to the Hardcore (or HC) coupons and talk about how they had success or fail, this is basically how the collection operates, as not every idiot in a cashier position is just going to scan such a crazy coupon.

The original collection however is much more problem free and really just works the same as using real coupons.

I feel like if I were new and reading this thread for the first time I would be confused as hell sometimes.

Have you had success w/ HC collection coupons at Target?  I've tried for $50+ coupons a handful of times, and every time their computer has said "coupon value too high".  The manager has apologies for this two out of the probably 5 times I've tried, and said they don't take coupons over $50.  As far as sub-$50 coupons go I've only tried 4 or 5 times (for ATT phone/calling cards), and none of those went through.

Also, it'd be great if you could reply to my msg on SR whenever you have a moment!  Just realized the ones I bought expired, and could use the new link :)  Cheers!

I'm answering my SR messages now, again I have managed to go 24 hours without responding to SR messages. Everyone knows this is not the standard PL way of doing business, but things have become exceptionally heavy on my plate. the good news is I am about to graduate and be done with school (once again) and so that very large burden on my time will be out of the way. My health has played a role too, and unfortunately even today I remain not 100%. I'm not asking for sympathy, just understanding, I am going to be fine, and everything is working out just great for me... Anyways, I expect to make a return back stronger and with more free time than ever soon. My customer base has grown even larger and so has my list of personal responsibilities and as a result my amount of messages per day has exceeded to the point end up getting backed up if things aren't going well across the board. Again, my free time frame is about to expand beyond anything any of my customers have seen with me before as I graduate, and then suddenly I'll be able to take some pressure off keeping up with SR. I'm also not releasing any new information when I say that I also work 40 hours a week at a day job, so if you can imagine all that, then I think it makes sense what I am saying. I've al;ways been open about these details of my personal life... I want people to know what's going on. Fuck LE, if they can't find me, then it's probably not going to help to limit the search to college students with a full time job... fuck why did I start doing this to begin with? Couldn't make ends meet, aren't most of us college students working now???

Anways, so catching up on messages now...

IF I MISSED ANYONE PLEASE REMESSAGE ME ASAP! Sometimes Tor times out... over, and over and over and over.... and eventually I have to just walk away and go do some other shit... by the time I get back online, I forgot which message it timed out my reply to and did not want to keep a log of that either... please remessage me!

I know this have been answered a million times prob.

But I got  a question:

I never done this just to make sure.

Does Target accept 2  same coupons for 2 same products?

* Say i got 2 boxes of Cheezits, and have 2 coupons...

Will the take em?

I know, you probably face palming yourself right now...

But I am wondering..

Nah it's a good question my bud. One that has been covered plenty of times, but if you never caught the forum at that moment, you wouldn't ever have known.

On paper target's rule is 4 coupons of the exact same kind! So yes you can easily pull off 4 of the exact same coupon with 4 of the exact same item. However, I have tested this theory even further and it seems as if the rule only exists on paper and depends on the employee being trained to know it, as the machine and scanner at Target pays it no fucking attention. Before my days of SR vending, I had successfully used the same coupon over 10 times in one purchase at Target.

My order looked like this... coupon was for well over the item price. 10 of the item, and 10 of the coupon, plus a case of beer... I paid like .83 cent and left with 10 items plus a free case of beer! I thought I had figured it all out, and then I found Silk Road!

**I've done the same thing up to 12.

@white out... There is no "key turn" per se. There is no limit generally and speaking just off myself I have went well over 300 in coupons on one trip and been fine. A few people have said after a limit or so someone needed to come over and punch their approval in. I did have one freak incident where a coupon rang up for like ~59.00 and said "coupon exceeded limit" needed approval.  I even took a picture and posted it on here but I think that was way back in the other thread.

@shrek welcome back

Coupon turned down at Wal-Mart today for the Dre's, the UPC was correct but the mgmt stated that although all the info on the scan checked out, they were unable to prove its validity, either, and said that she'd scanned it and submitted it to financing to check it. She did say that if there had been a phone number to call she'd have been able to check it out, which got me thinking about getting some anonymous 800 numbers, forwarding to anonymous cell phones, each with an answering service for the company indicated. Maybe one of us could set up this service and PL could charge a certain amount extra for the HC collection with phone numbers. I'd do it myself, but with the kind of work I do I don't have the liberty to call back stores constantly. It might be better to set something up actually as a pay-per-phone verification sort of deal, where each coupon has the same number and the individual wishing to utilize the phone verification system buys a code via SR, then calls the anon phone ahead from an anon phone stating which company is to be used, the phone verification vendor then awaiting a call from the retailer.

OR this may all be way too complicated and shopping around could be the way to go ;)

IF I had all of my time to devote to this project it would be so much bigger and greater. I'm not at a lack of good ideas, but I'm at a lack of free time and ability to make them reality.

In a world where I could do this job full time and not have other responsibilities (obviously that's not possible, because I need my education for my future, and SR won't give me a 401k, but if...) then we would have our own coupon verification site on all coupons that showed each one as being valid. We would have our own 800 number on all coupons where I would answer the phone during our said business hours. I'd be selling holograms that are custom made for our coupons. The ways of improving are endless, however I simply do not have the time or the staff or the time to manage the staff. Without a doubt PurpleLotus would be the best producer of coupons in the USA both legit or otherwise. Large corporations would probably make me offers to go legit and work for them in the future to produce their coupons, paying me millions of dollars and granting me immunity for all of the crimes I once committed against them. There has been talk in the past thread about what PurpleLotus the movie would be like... that's how I imagine it ending. With me being a millionaire, free of all crimes, and at one point I fuck Mark Zuckerburg's wife in the movie, just because I could.

Ok. Quick update.
Randalls: Lady said she'd take it if it looked like it came from the manufacture and not printed off my computer at home. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Walmart: Got another Xbox LIVE card with the full page survey one. Have yet to try out the three per page coupon.

Walgreens: Assistant Manager came out to look at the shell coupon. Said she remembers something about the location they send the coupons to isn't a valid address or something. Sounds like she's talking about that PO box in Del Rio.

Also I think it'd be good to have something to put on the back of these coupons, because I've noticed a lot of cashiers turn it over and check the backside.

I found a tamper seal supplier who will make me some semi-customized holographic stickers for relatively cheap.  The base layer is very similar to these *** CLEARNET WARNING*** http://www.hlhologram.com/Holograms/Secure%20Valid%20Authentic%20Genuine%20Security%20Hologram%20sticker.htm *** CLEARNET WARNING*** though a different shape.

They have the ability to add text to the top layer and can have 4 lines plus a serial number.  Aside from a serial number, thoughts on what to have these say, if anything?  Manufacturer Coupon seems too obvious.  Maybe even Visa or something.

Hey, I've been trying the Foodsaver coupon recently without much success.  I've been to two Kmarts and a Bed Bath & Beyond.  The Kmarts both almost worked...  The first one only had a $90 one, but I read that someone else actually got cash back in the same situation so I figured I'd give it a try.  Once it started telling the cashier to pay me she got a manager who turned me down pretty quickly.  The next time I went for a cashier who looked apathetic but turned out being an assistant manager.  The coupon scanned alright, but he typed it in as a $1.00 coupon instead of $100.  When I pointed out the mistake he didn't seem to mind, started typing it in, then said he had to double check with the manager.  She came over and vetoed it without giving much reason.

Bed Bath & Beyond was way over priced to begin with ($140 for the $90 version at Kmart) and without hesitation turned me down as soon as I showed the cashier the coupon saying she'd never seen anything like it and calling it a fake. 

It seems like Kmart is the place to make it work but it's a trek to make it out to another one and I'd hate to make that drive if other people have had good luck at other stores.

I also tried the Black Ops coupon at Target recently and they rejected it because it didn't say Manufacturer's Coupon on it anywhere.  Where have people had success for the games?

I'm going to build up my confidence with a run of the Original Collection coupons at a different target today

As for the Visas, on a quick glance they look pretty similar, new UPCs or something?

Earlier today I went to my usual coupon stop Target with about fifty dollars worth of OC coups.  Although I had inital success with the Redbull pack, in the previous visit or two they wouldn't scan.  That could be unrelated.  Anyway, after shopping for nearly an hour and getting all my coupons successfully scanned, halfway through the stack, a security guard walked over and said the supervisor was stopping the sale/not accepting my coupons.  The security guard claimed the coupons were unoriginal and could be copies (they were in black in white), spouting bullshit about the source being a magazine, thus they couldn't be "copies".  After a short debate with the security guard, I ended up leaving them with a full cart of bagged groceries to put back, and headed to Raleys, where I saved a good fifty percent.

The security guard at Target also used the excuse that I could have been given these coupons from a friend/family member (is that not okay either?).  She claimed that Target's own online coupons are fine but not manufacturers.  I suppose in the end it's the right of the store to reject coupons.  I'm still wondering if they profiled me as I was shopping, noticed I had a handful of coupons, possibly recognized me from before, or if they noticed the massive savings in the back room as they were scanned.  If it's the former, I could see myself still going to that location, albeit on a different day at a different time with fewer coupons and toss them in with regular groceries.  I had only been using the grocery coupons there for the past month or two, but perhaps they caught on.  Is there any chance they tried getting paid back for them/mailed them to the coupon address already and realized the situation?

PL sent me the links again and they work fine. What I meant about the Tor thing was when I updated it the other day I copied it over the old files like usual. Had I read the update info instead of just doing it it said NOT to copy over the original files but to create a fresh install. After I fixed everything I fucked up I could no longer access the coupons. Overwriting the old Tor fucked up the links or something like that on my end. Since I don't keep these wrote down anywhere I had no way to access them.  Whatever I did fucked up my links but thanks for trying to help. It's always nice to know that people here are willing to help. +1 to you.

Oh, and if you haven't updated Tor yet, be sure to read first. Don't make the mistake I did. I thought I lost a bunch of shit but luckily was able to recover most of it.

Hey guys. I'm a bit scared. My friend said that what feds do is they wait and wait until they build up enough of a good case and pinch you. I gave away the coupons to my roommate who proceeded to give printouts to some of his friends. There's a vitamin shoppe by us that corporate apparently sent a email down to to not accept fraudulent coupons, but I'll warn him tomorrow not to give any more coupons out. One friend tonight warned me to just get out of the coupon business, but I love saving all this money! What do you think I should do? I don't know, just kind of freaking out. I don't want anything to happen to me just because the last time I used these coupons was a month ago, but my friend gave printouts to friends.

im no expert but if your shook then just stop...for atleast for awile anyway...the "feds" have other things to do than watch you for no reason.dont give them any reason to watch you.im sure your fine though....
first rule i made for myself is NEVER give coupons to anyone unless they FULLY understand whats up...i made the mistake giving a cig one to a neighbor for a quick ride to the store...i told them only use these at x,y,z stores not the mom n pop tiny convenient store cause they didnt take them....so what did they do? of course they used it at the exact store i told them not to...they came over all happy..."hey that worked at the store" i felt like gut punching them hahaha, but it  was my bad, leason learned...i figure in a month when they realize hopefully they wont care about 9 bucks and wont put 2 n 2 together.
they best thing i can do now is just pass the info on to trusted people and they can buy them themselfs...more for pl anyway...if they dont want to pay no play , no what im tombowt.

on a dif note....soon as pl wakes up (WAKE UP!!!!! lol) im hardcoring it!

on the RCA tv (is this kmart exclusive?) whats people experience with this? success rate?
cant wait to pick some cool stuff up! im going to be king of birthdays this year!!

Yep, I think if you have any concern about this you have no business doing it. It's hard to come across as "doing nothing wrong" at the register when you're scared in the back of your mind. I really see no way that you could get in trouble using these as long as you aren't an idiot about it. When it comes to passing them out that's something I'm not a big fan of. If you do then just like WoW said above you need to be clear, honest, and up front about what you are giving that person. For that reason alone I share these with very few people, not to mention I paid for it and they didn't.  Really out of this whole deal I think PL is the only one who has something to worry about. Manufacturing and distributing these surely isn't a petty crime. As for the rest of us plausible denial is good enough I'd think. If you pay in cash and don't hit the same store all the time then they have little chance of proving without a doubt that it's you who's responsible for it. Finding something on the internet and trying it is not a crime. If a store accuses you of committing a crime they better damn well be ready to prove it, if not you can get them in a lot of trouble.  And remember, they need to prove without a reasonable doubt that you are willingly committing these crimes. That just seems like too much work for too little result to me.

Ok. Quick update.
Randalls: Lady said she'd take it if it looked like it came from the manufacture and not printed off my computer at home. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Buy some high dollar glossy photo cardstock.  I got some from Red River Paper, 68lb UltraPro Gloss.  Its a bit more expensive than regular photopaper, but it looks amazing and has no text or images on the backside like most store bought photo paper.  Print it on that let the ink dry and then apply a hologram sticker that you purchase from ebay.  Almost always passes!  I've given some that were setup like this to friends and gave them just a couple tips and sent them in the store, almost all of them come back with the product with very little knowledge of how to properly use these coupons.

Sucks to hear that about CVS, they are my go-to place for cards! Always easy. I'm still going to hit them up tomorrow with the new VISA's. I've been so busy I've not had any time to do any couponing, I really need to do some tomorrow, if I can get this gosh darn job FINISHED!

Going back to the phone thing, I wasn't necessarily recommending that you, PL, put that amount of energy into the coupons, mostly because with your current business model I don't think your potential profits would justify that amount of energy expenditure. If you were to switch to a monthly subscription it might be worth it, depending on how many of us considered it worthwhile to jump on board. Instead I was hoping we could pool our resources as a "community" of sorts and see how far we could take the game.

As for the actual operation of the phone lines I was thinking something like a single operator who would answer the phone in some generic manner and funnel each call to an appropriate voice mail, after which a return call would be made in the guise of whatever company was required. I can see some issues arising with the calling store expecting the answering operator to know which company they are calling for immediately, but with a smooth operator ;) those problems can easily be turned aside as they arise.

Also, the new coupons look great, PL, I haven't had a chance to try any of them yet but I don't doubt they will be as effective as always! Your service has kept me off of my own private fiscal cliff :)

So my girl and I decided to spend Sunday getting caught up from the last three weeks since we have been taking a break and "laying low" lol.  Spent a couple of hours Saturday night printing cutting and organizing the various coupons and needed items and started out Sunday with a list of stores, items and coupons.  really not much to report because everything scanned with no issue.  Actually the "real" coupons gave us an issue as my girl insist on throwing a few "real" ones in there.   All of the OC coupons we used, milk, silk, eggs, tide, clorox, and water scanned no problem also self generated Softner, Razors, Dish Detergent, Laundry Detergent, TP, and yogurt also scanned no issue!

I think the 1st of the month actually may be a good time seems like there are government funds that come available that people use around the 1st which made the two chain stores we visited today extremely busy - by the time we got to these cashiers they had been worked over already and easily scanned everything.

Total for the day approx 465.00 in items with a total out of pocket cost of just under 80.00.  Again those numbers would have looked better if we hadn't thrown in the various "newspaper" items but I cant argue too much as she is the one who seems to have ease at the register! 

Regardless good way to get back into the swing of things.  Can't say it enough PLis the best!

I haven't heard from PL about lessons for a little bit.  I understand he's busy, but can someone else that has the lessons please help me out on TorChat?  I'm also willing to pay someone to help me set up PGP step by step on TorChat.  And yes I've tried every tutorial.  And no they don't work for me.

If we design new coupons, is there any way we can add them to the OC for others to enjoy?

Sorry I haven't been answering messages the past two days. Getting caught up now. I was just able to keep up with filling orders.

OC updates are coming along just fine, but it's quite the list now. This time next week, I will be able to refocus my efforts.

the soda mix.png is not accurate.  the databar rings up for $2.40 instead of $4.  fyi. 

Ah, you are correct, that's my fault, but not my coupon. We caught the mistake, but since it wasn't made by me it got put in a different folder, so when I went to do the updates this last time, I ended up putting in the first coupon that was later fixed. That's my mistake, thank you for pointing it out.

Sorry if I worried anyone here. I was really drunk at the time and I'm not sure what was going through my head at the time. God I hate drunk texts lol. PL reassured me I was ok and my friend was just blowing smoke and I was not in danger. I hadn't had a chance to use these coupons in the past month but I guess I was thinking that, in my drunken state, the feds had built a case on me in a month and were going to pinch me that week (for only using a couple coupons lol; I thought cvs would go beserk for some reason using my fruit rollup coupon cause I was so out of it). Oh and my roommate didn't even give some out but I told him to just stop telling his friends about these. It's just his good friend knew I used these and wanted to "blow smoke" at me. He doesn't use the coupons now and I feel like the storm will have blown over by the time the OC comes out and I come back from spring break. Hahaha I know. I'm an idiot for thinking all this in my drunken state.

Anyways, yes these coupons work flawlessly and just ignore my previous post. I apologize if I caused anyone anxiety over using these or something, I was a drunken idiot. I will go back to my cautious ways when the OC gets updated :), and now won't mention this to any one of my friends when it does come out. I love these!

However I have not even had the chance to play with Windows 8 so I have no clue how to help him. Anyone have problems using windows 8 with printing these coupons also?

All but one I got at cvs the other was at rite aid, at everyone there was no questions asked and i was in and out within a minute at all places. Great product.

I have a question, has anyone had any success with the Kindle Fire? If so, at what store? I know a coupon for such a pricey item to be free seems sketch, so just wanted to know what's the best store to give it a go.

I'm about to turn this shit up a notch. I have 150 holograms on the way. It took awhile to find the right ones but I finally did. Most of them say shit like "Factory Sealed" or "Void Warranty" or something like that. That shit won't work, why would a coupon have a warranty? The ones I got are small, about half inch square, with an eagle and authentic on it. The wings move and the words dance when you move it. They are also tamper proof as words are left behind when you peel it off.  On top of that I'm stepping up my printing game. I'm moving to full color and high quality paper, almost cover stock but definitely better than text weight. This will only be for select coupons but the added price will pay for itself in no time. Hell, it already has if you count all the Visa's I've gotten. I hope to have everything in place by the weekend I'll make sure I post how things go once I get started. This should be fun ;D

Post by: purplelotus on March 12, 2013, 11:39 pm
Nope, no one has heard from me since yesterday. I had a minor operation and have just been kinda pain pilled out all day, just now checking whats up.

While the forum was down I got a lot of messages asking me the same question: OC expiration updates will be released this Sunday. If I get them 100% complete before then, then I will release them, but I won't be able to guarantee them until Sunday. I'm not messing with them today or tomorrow because I'm taking pain medication and I don't mess with coupons while I'm fucked up, for everyone's safety.

I have some pretty cool ideas in mind once I get these updates released. I'd like to follow up the expiration updates immediately with some new content. I'll need a couple people to help me test out a few new ideas.

Also, beware of any coupon listings you see on SilkRoad making the exact same claims I am making. As of today I am the only person selling custom made coupons, but there are people on SR who are just taking 4chan coupons and selling them here. Ones that were submitted by random people, some work, some don't, some are just to troll 4chan users... Hopefully new buyers will consider that when they decide to make a purchase in this category. There is another vendor making the same claims as me, but those are lies. Beware.

LB read forum pages 80-86 ive laid out many tips for the gift cards.  I normally grab $100 of gcs at a time.  I however do not do the visa, due to the short shelf life.  i prefer to get other GCs and take my time unloading them.  I couldnt spend $100 a day even if I wanted to, unless it was on whores.

Hey Wraith do you have any idea how many Subway Gift Cards you think I could pull off at one register?  I've always stuck with a single coupon for fear of the already growing suspicion.  By the way people- Don't try this at any Subway!  They necessarily know all their own franchise promotions.

Finlay got to 50 woo! So I got the OC collection a few days ago and so far have tried 2 small runs and 1 medium run. The 2 small runs at Walmart were very smooth, and done by a cashier. I only use a few coupons just to test them out and saved about $10 on each one! Yesterday I did a slightly larger run at Walmart testing out a variety of the OC collection. I used the self checkout this time at Walmart and ran into a small issue with maybe 7 or 8 coupons, when they were scanned by the machine is would say something like"Item quantity is too high". A bunch of others worked as anticipated and i saved about $43 and only spent $13 so I was happy about that :)

Just wondering if anyone else has had that happen? All in all im very happy to see that these things work! Im hoping to save my family a lot of money with these beauties! I think im going to get myself the HC collection as well

after exchanging more messages with this PL he has been unable to verify his identity to me.  Maybe ive done too many drugs and have gone crazy IDK

Purple Lotus    wraithe,

Hey mate, it's Purple Lotus. I have a favor to ask of you and I've asked a few others as well. I'm currently being almost held hostage with some information that an ex-girlfriend of mine has. I'd really hope to shut her up before this goes any farther, but I haven't the funds to do it.

Not sure if you're well off or not, but is there any way you'd be able to spare some coins or a moneypak, so I can get them into cash and shut this lady up? I'm about $1000 short, and I have already come up with and raised $1500.

Let me know if you can throw anything my way. I get tax returns on monday, and I will gladly pay you back 120% of whatever you borrow me. For example, if you threw me $100 in coins, I'd give you $120 back. $240 for $200, etc.

Please help me out, and PLEASE keep this off the forums. If it does end up going to authorities I want no information linking her to myself.

Thanks,
Purple Lotus

I think its bullshit so I'm posting it. If its not and you ask me to remove it PL, I will. But this looks like too much of a fraud and scam. I hope you get control of your account back soon dude. Best of luck to you.

BEWARE EVERYONE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS GUY UNTIL ITS CONFIRMED HE HAS HIS ACCOUNT BACK!!  ALSO BEWARE OF PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM HIM OR FINALIZING ANYTHING!

EDIT: As wraithe pointed out the guy is PMing people from a similar account name "Purple Lotus" which is different from the real "PurpleLotus". Feel free to continue buying/finalizing with the real PL and ignore the messages from this scammer. I reported it on SR and you all should also.

The PURPLELOTUS coupon guy's account is NOT COMPROMISED.

A SCAM ACCOUNT was made called "PURPLE LOTUS" he is the one trying to scam people and is in no way affiliated with PURPLELOTUS.  There is a space in the scammers name

Saved over 400 since Saturday and relative saved 350.00. OC is awesome and worth every dime. Look forward to the updates coming soon!!

PL I know I have saved thousands and thousands of dollars. This is the only deal on SR that you can make money on same day you receive it. You will be a fool not to buy the OC coupons and use them for all your groceries. I spend maybe 20-30.00 a week now on hundreds of dollars worth of food. Best deal on SR hands down. Thanks Brother!

Wow, yeah if you look at his account it shows he has not been online in a day. 

Not sure what is going on, but that is not his account.  Hopefully he gets online soon and straightens things out.  Looks like someone was taking advantage of the fact that he is under the weather and not around right now.

Greetings! I'm doing just fine and I'm back today.

Someone created a fake user name which was similar to mine except it had a space and was going around asking people for money.

My account was never compromised and it has always been safe to message and do business with me. Just beware that is someone named "Purple Lotus" messages you and asks for money, it is a scam. Also, on Silk Road you will notice the (100) next to my name in messages which will assure you it's me.

I have not been hacked, or kidnapped, and besides some soreness I am doing just fine.

Had my account been compromised, I would have made right anything that was wronged, but that didn't happen.

Thanks to wraithe and kitkat for trying to inform people of what was going on. Hopefully now that I'm announcing it myself, this scammer will go pick a new name to rip off and beg for money from.

Sorry to everyone who ordered or sent me messages yesterday and I was not around. All orders have been filled and I'm going to work on the messages today.

OC updates on Sunday, but someone just pointed out that was St. Patrick's day... I still plan to release them on Sunday.

OH FUCK NO!!!!  Dude I almost sent like $3k...  Holy shit man!!  I'm fucking furious!!  I've been scammed by Larghetto twice...with ZERO orders fulfilled.  And now he wants me to place an even bigger order with him FE.  I have another vendor admit to never sending the product and that's in dispute resolution now.  And I was telling the fake PL about this.  And fuck man!!!  I sent $50.  But then I asked to have the loan in escrow and he side stepped that and that's when I thought something might be up.  He wanted cash in mail without escrow so I decided to not go any further.  It's in the blockchain hall of shame, now.  Sometimes I wish Tor wasn't so bulletproof.  Oh well, cheap lesson.

The only vendor who delivered to me is Liston.  The rest are digital products.

Anyways, even though I was the first person to buy the lessons I'm probably the last person on here to actually use them due to time constraints and computer impediments.  Does anyone have the time and courtesy to make us some additions to the OC?  I am hoping to see ezekial bread,    PL are you on TorChat?

Has anyone here had luck with the $50 Shell Gas Card? Any advice?

I went to wal-greens with this coupon yesterday and it didn't work. It didn't even scan. Was I supposed to look for something I missed? Not a very good or reassuring first attempt, especially because I brought a friend with me who was interested in the idea and isn't so much anymore now :(

I really miss the joy of making coupons. Finishing my classes had become more over whelming than I imagined, and also finals fell way too close to both HC and OC expiration updates, which I did not have the foresight to prevent, but I'm thinking ahead now.

Got some really good ideas, and I can't wait to get back into recon and making new coupons... my favorite part of making HC coupons is still seeing who can pass them first, but I miss the creativity of the entire process.

Anyways, I passed all my classes (duh), and I'm proud to move on to the next stage of my life and by that... I mean actually having one. Which includes my time here at SR, this certainly has become part of my life and one that I mostly have enjoyed to a great degree (no pun intended).

PurpleLotus

Also, don't ever send money to anyone who messages you from a fake name that is similar to mine. I will never ask anyone for money, if I need it that bad, I'll make a coupon for that shit!

    PL let me go ahead and say YOU ARE THE MOTHER FUCKING MAN!  I am so glad to see the newest addition to the HC collection.  I will do my best to go test it out tomorrow before work so long as I wake up with time to hit the store.  If it works you are about to save me a ton of money!  Is this one that you would suggest only using once per store?

    Also I found some of the best glossy paper I've ever used.  A buddy suggested I check out Red River Paper.  I picked up a 100 pack of 8.5x11" 68LB UltaPro Gloss for around $40 after shipping.  It is a little pricey, but I only plan on using it on some of the tougher HC coupons.  I ordered it last Friday and it came in today.  Printed out just full page coupon, along with a hologram sticker and I have no doubt it will be easy to pass.  The paper has no watermarks on either side and is fairly heavy.  When cut evenly with a paper slicer and a hologram is used I have no doubt it will fool even the best cashier and manager.  ***CLEARNET*** http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/68lb-ultrapro-gloss.html

thinking about hc.. but i know if i took that step i would want to really focus more time on diff stores and getting much more involved. as for now my chick is OC pro.On another note, I have been selling a lot of SR goodies to a chick.. who "hustles" all my shit for a nice double-up. wellll.. i just found out she works a register at a good couponing spot. I hope I can get some of the nicer OC items by with her in a big run. Have been on vacation and need to get back on my feet so it is nice that the updates are coming soon. Just when SR cant get any better I find PL.. wow.. what a great investment.. I hate i cannot share my exploits with my brazen/wild friends, so i come here drunk to rank about my love for this service

I cannot seem to justify requesting new products when the service is already SOOOO appreciated. but maybe dawn soap refill jugs (not sure if they even make them). that is all my gf has griped about since the coupons (before that it was EVERYTHING).. the tide and dog food alone has made me a KING! The best part is.. my gf was suspect about even getting the coupon pack in the first place.. now i can rub it in her face everytime she comes carting home her bounty.
 
We hope to go BIG this summer with all the festivals we can possibly make. So tents, jerky, bug spray.. oh YEAh.. any home bug sprays would help a lot.. it is crazy expensive to de-bug a home in the bug country, let alone keeping the critters out of our tents when camping.. Was able to get a few bags of jerky.. a near-bum /best friend/brother of mine got love from the jerky and cigs.. was like gold to him.. I could imagine if still smoked on the regular.. i would print the fuuuuck out of those cig coups. I also am trying to eat more greens.. the big giant boxes the only option? I would love to see more veggie options to help me stock my fridge more smarter.. get it? more smarter? ahhh what else to say while ive broken out of my social shell.. Thank you PL for keeping this for than a purchase.. but a true on going service that of-witch  I am very appreciative.

More success with the OC. Gave a bunch to my mom and she had a great trip to WM today paying almost nothing with over $50 in savings. The OC collection has already paid for itself.  I suggest it to everyone!

When using the HC am I able to just use my normal printer paper that I have been using, or is it necessary to get higher quality paper? Obviously the higher quality paper the better, but will it work without it?

I don't say "mate", I say "bud". Everyone knows that.

Thanks Advocate! If I ever get kidnapped or need someone offed... I'm glad I know a guy like you!

So far no new reports of scam messages today, so hopefully the dude moved on to some other vendor with less intelligent customers.

@White 0ut: yeah, even I have not been able to be around as much as I'd like lately. Good to see you bud!

Don't forget, OC updates on Sunday!

PL

EDIT: Just got this message from a customer, "I made the mistake of thinking Nickmode was a associate of yours. Due to him ripping off so many of your coupons. His collection SUCKS. Most come up expired." I could go on and on about how this guy is making a profit by lying to customers on SR and claiming he makes his own coupons like I do with all of my collections, but since this douche only knows how to change the expiration dates in ms paint, what is happening is that all his coupons are hitting the hard coded expiration dates, and there ain't a damn thing he can do to stop it... I'm sorry if any of you have been ripped off also. PurpleLotus is the only coupon vendor on SR who is not scamming people and who does not tell bold lies to his customers.

So here's my interaction with bizarro Purple Lotus. Of course, I knew it wasn't the real deal, I just look for the hundos after our names. And fuck no, I didn't send any coin. Like the man said, he'd just make a coupon....

Oh, and I've yet to hear anything back from bizarro Lotus.....

Easier if read from bottom to top...


   
420blindman(100)      Ok, I sent $600 to PurpleLotus. Hope everything works out for you man!! Best of luck!!    



Purple Lotus      Actually, I take that back. I just counted my cash on hand and I need exactly $590 to be completely good.

I'll give you 130% back, so that would be 767 or $770 back on Monday. 30% return for you for less than a weeks worth of investment.

Obviously, my reputation here holds me to paying you back no problem. I just came to you because I know you have a nice flow going with your chron.

1MpAzjn6MXVrhuHhJVcckyMarkgurEKmas is my off-site addy, otherwise I'd prefer you just sent the coins right here on SR to me, as then it's at least recorded on the site as having happened.

I'll be waiting for the coin. I appreciate your help so much. I'm at a motel right now pretty scared...

Purple Lotus       Could I borrow roughly $500 in coins, or as much as possible under $500? I have money coming back from tax returns that I can throw your way absolutely no problem.

If you can just send the coin to my account I can get it turned into cash here asap and try to settle this whole situation....

Much Love,
Purple Lotus


420blindman(100)    Sure, glad to help, how much do you need?    


Purple Lotus      420blindman,

I know I've helped you alot with the coupon game, and subsequently saved you ALOT of money. I've recently received a letter from a certain female in my life that I hate, stating that if I don't give her a sum of cash that is equal to $3000, she will be informing the proper authorities. I'd rather not run, and if I can keep her quiet, I can get rid of the evidence that would allow her to do this.

Currently, I'm sitting on only $1800 in my bank account. I'm waiting for a tax return and I just had that operation that has cost me quite a bit of money. If you're able to borrow/loan me the remainder, or even a decent portion of the remainder, I will pay you back on what I safely assume to be monday, based on the IRS tax return chart. I can pay you back 120% with a moneypak, cash in mail, or bitcoins, obviously. If I can't get help from you and a couple others I've asked, I'll probably be packing my bags and heading somewhere different, where I'm not sure if I'll resume. By the way, by 120% I mean if you borrowed me $1000, I'd give you $1200 on monday/tuesday, so less than a week for that investment.

You know me, you know my rep. I feel like a beggar asking, but I don't know what else to do.

Please help me out, brotha.

Much Love,
Purple Lotus

Can't wait for the updates, you're the shit PL!  Have tons of coupons printed off that are about to expire so I'm pumped to make some big runs this weekend. 

On a side note--I'm a smoker and for some damn reason I have never even attempted to use any of the cig coupons in the 9 months of owning these because I just figured they wouldn't pass, but it seems like they're still working pretty regularly for people?? Any tips?  Do need to be 18 to sell tobacco or is that just booze?

Hey PL i tried messaging you on the site once but got no reply.... so i'll try here ..just wondering when your sending out updates of your great coupons(exp. dates) to previous customers. and If you have, already,  I need my update please. Bought 2 collections from you.....your first one you had (folders named thanks(1,2,3,additions) and the other one after that (SR coupons 1,2,3,4,nov additions)
not the hardcore coupons

I understand they are easy to update on my own, but I would like to take you up on the offer of the free update.

Thanks PL!

PS ..my name on the site is h1msa

Every time I want to get coins quickly it's fuckin near impossible. Something is wrong, doesn't work, place closed, no moneygram anymore blah blah blah...
How much do you need?  You can visit my vendor profile TheAdvocate (link in my sig) if you need any btc.  I can do $200 right now in under 24 hours.

Only thing I vend since my business was stolen/blackmailed from me is my advice,but It wouldn't suprise me if an imposter sprung up asking you cool ass motherfuckers for "emergency bitcoins" cuz I'm in a swampy mess HAHA!
I've been lurking around just walking on the sky and counting down the days to update time and hookin young mothers up in the baby section of almost every store i go to and giving 2 each of the diaper,formula,and wipes coupons.It's my new form of crack and it helps pass the time in between CSM shifts so I can hit the same store twice in the same day.
PL YOU HAVE CREATED A MONSTER!!!!!!!  :) hope you are all having an awesome weekend.

Just putting this out there AGAIN! I've announced it multiple times here and in about 25+ private messages a day.

OC updates are coming out tonight! I won't go into all the reasons why it took me longer this time, but I've already covered them all... first there was finals, then there was my surgery which had me laying down and on a bunch of painpills! But the OC doesn't expire for another two weeks. Only about 5% of them are expired as of today!

I do apologize as I had planned for a much sooner release, but the fact remains that things happened and really had me out of commission longer than I wanted.

The updates have been PROMISED over and over for the past week to be out tonight! So even thought all of my friends are out drinking Jameson and Green Beer today partying hard. I am a man of my word and have woke up very early on my one off day the entire week and I'm sitting here right now putting together hundreds and hundreds of updated coupons. This time they will look better than ever with all of my work being added onto the 3 page layouts everyone enjoys so much! It still probably will not drop until later tonight, as it's very time consuming to first update all the expiration dates (but also was promised to change al the databars and offer codes to wipe them 100% off the CIC list and that is something I'm making good on too!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! I will be locked up in my crib doing this work all day long until it's completed and looking better than ever! Don't worry, I wouldn't let anything in the world stop me from delivering to my customers. MY customers mean an enormous amount to me and I won't ever let you guys down! Another great piece of news is that once these are done, PurpleLotus has great new ideas and things coming to you all soon! I take a great amount of pride in what I do here on SR and that is all because of the relationships I have formed with my customers and I will not let them down. Everyone has been so good to me, and I promise to always return that favor back!

PL

On a side note, if you are one of the 25+ unread messages I have received in less than 24 hours, I will be answering all of those as soon as the new OC updates are 100% legit and live.

HAPPY ST. Patrick's DAY! I hope ya'll all have a great time. Nothing in the world I would rather be ding right now than to make sure I keep my word and deliver to you guys tonight! I won't be partying or drinking... when I announce it's done and live, well you are all welcome to buy me a Guinness and shot of Jameson to celebrate!

PL, just because people keep bugging you about the updates is no reason for you to feel sorry. They are coming right at the perfect time imo because like you said only 5% of them have actually expired. Your good man. We are here for you just as much as you us! The real customers anyway.

Read your newbie update as well, nice to know a new improved site is coming, even seen some of my suggestions mentioned even although I am sure you thought of it still excites me.

Any new additions with all of the updates?

Won't ask too many Q's as I know your busy today! Hope your St.Patty's is great as well friend. My girl is out getting our spring break supplies right now with the OC thanks man! I wish I had some money on SR I would buy you a bottle tonight! Here's a rain check!

Later PL, my advice, smoke some bowls whilst doing it, crank up some music, hell I would even get trippy! Whatever you do, just take your time with it. I am here patiently waiting, not agitatedly ;)!

Peace....

OC updates are now 100% complete and better than ever! They all have 100% expiration updates, and 100% of the numbers that get reported to the CIC (which is still rare to happen to one of my coupons) have been changed. Not just the few that were reported, but 100% of them, to prevent anything that currently is in circulation from being reported. It simply won't matter then.

I also have done the large majority of them in the full page 3 per page format, making it easier for everyone to print them. Some weren't done, but those had their reasons.

They are being uploaded now but will take QUITE some time to finish, as TOR uploads are super slow, and often time out... so I'm patiently working on it, and will announce when they are live!

New projects are on the drawing board, and I might take a little break just to catch my breathe, but with some of these ideas I have I don't see myself waiting too long before showing you all what's up my sleeve! Good stuff coming soon!

***When dealing with hundreds of coupons and organizing them... welll I think I did really good this time, but I always make a mistake or two (like I might accidentally misplace a coupon in the fray) Just tell me if something is missing and I'll handle it right away

Yeah! Coupons for the next 3 months printed and sorted! I really like the new organization PL...I went through them quickly. Other than the 2-liter Coke I didn't see any missing that mattered to me. I did see a few duplicates...but better too many that not enough. Thanks for the American Spirit addition, I love those things! My girlfriend had a request for some Parliaments if you ever fell so inclined. Also how about a coupon for large size sue bee honey...its one of those doomsday items that never spoils and I would like to be to keep some around. I'm saving up for those lessons though, I start back to work next week. I have to say these coupons were critical in keeping me afloat while money is scarce. Thanks again ...Great Job!!

Also decided to make a quick trip now after this recent update to test out!  No issues except did get the code "to verify the amount on a couple of them".  :) The CS rep had no issue at all confirming and passing through...... she was very happy to express to me though at the end she too couldn't wait to get her computer!  LOL

Might test a few others tomorrow and will update then!

went to walmart last night with the new OC updates.  went fabulously.  the cashier said it was only his second time getting a huge stack of internet coupons like this.  he said his first time the person saved over $200, so my $100 in coupon savings didn't seem so ballsy anymore haha.  One CSM there knows me as the coupon guy.  not sure how I feel about this, but i've been couponing this location for 3 months now and she's never given me any grief, so i'm guessing that walmart is big enough that the CSMs don't end up finding out what happens to the coupons after they're sent off.  Cuz honestly, i've passed off probably a few grand in coupons at this location over the past few months and those CSMs still just cheerfully approve the transaction and marvel at my couponing skills...

Yes, Advocate the offer codes were all changed, but it's not the offer codes that make that happen. It's the item and the price itself which can sometimes get blocked. I find it extremely rare and only happens to me on like 2 coupons I ever used at Target, and they weren't my coupons, it was before I was making my own.

Sorry about leaving out the Coke coupon, I will be fixing that as soon as I am home (which won't be tonight unfortunately). When dealing with hundreds of coupons, which I have in multiple locations, plus having to add in RX's work... well I know I tend to make a mistake or two and sometime I leave something out.

Don't worry, I simply must have not included it on accident and that will be resolved. I would not be surprised.

Also did I include the Simply Orange coupon that I retired months ago? If so then I will be pulling that one too. I am not sure if I did, but chances are I wasn't thinking if I left the original template with the others.

I'm glad everyone is happy and that all HC and OC updates are complete! This now means I can once again focus my time on new projects and other awesome things for you guys.

Please PM me if you found I left something out on accident, like the coke coupon for example.

Thanks all!

@TA: The simply coupon was giving problems to many people. After changing it up and still getting many problems he pulled it to resolve the issue. A few of us were fortunate enough to not encounter these problems and still use it continuously like myself.

As for the updates, they look great!  Thanks a ton!  I can't wait to see the new tricks up your sleeve that you're alluding to  :D.

I think you may have left the pf chang frozen meal updates out by mistake though.  If you could put it up at some point that would be awesome.

Yeah PL, the Simply coupon was in there. I saw that and was quite pleased to see it's return!

The old one had the expiration hard coded. Some cashiers would key it in, but it was more of a hassle than it was worth.. These days I do everything I can to avoid CSM keys. Just to keep my profile down. Learn the coupon policy to the stores you go to! It isn't a terrible inconvenience. Make multiple trips if you need to. Profile your cashiers. Look for the ones that appear as if they won't care. Remember the ones that don't and reuse them! I have had many who will key in coupons that don't work, and many who will run off and get their manager even when things do work because they just don't feel right about something...

Good luck to everyone and remember to send any tips you can afford to PL, he has done so much for us. Not because you owe him any more than the listed price, but because it is the right thing to do for all his hard work.

Much love PL.

Regards to all the long time veterans. Hello to all the new guys and girls. Welcome.

Well after raping and pillaging with the Original collection, I took the plunge and grabbed the HC.  Some disappointments:  gas card at CVS, Blu Ray at Best Buy both denied.  But also some big wins, Dre in Ear beats, vacuum sealer, multiple sony network cards, Subway and Chik fil a cards.  Can't wait for the new HC to pop I'm ready to be a test dummy Pl lol.  Quick question do you guys buy other things with your HC stuff or just go with the 1 item?  Seems like throwing the restaurant gift cards in with the groceries gets them through with ease.   


Thanks again PL

The walmart here seems to have wizened up. They didn't even scan my coupons, just told me they were fake. I asked for a manager, and the manager came over and said the same thing.

"These are fraudulent coupons. We've seen them a lot and have had them come back. Nobody makes coupons for this much. We won't accept them."

I quit using Walmart a long time ago, but others swear by it. If you read their coupon policy you will find the douchebag CSM who said that is in direct violation of it. I would study it and point that out if you wanna keep going there. Most walmarts seem golden though.

Hey PL, I'm planning on grabbing your coupon making lessons sometime in the next week or two.  How long does would you say it takes to get a handle on the process?  Are there any applications I should have at the ready for when I do make the order?  (I'm guessing I'll need photoshop, anything else?)

Thank you for everything you do!  Keep up the great work!

If you are decent with a computer it takes about 2-4 hours of messing with it to make your first working coupon, and then it becomes much easier. My second coupon took 30 minutes to make, and now it takes 10-15 minutes or so. Plus my lessons come with 100% gaurantee that you will make working coupons or your money back. You of course have to at leqast try though... you can't just say "Yeah you sent me everything, but I changed my mind and want a refund."

I am adding the few I forgot very soon, no worries. Plus some extra new ones to make up for it!

Hey guys,

I have a similar problem in that I simply don't have the time to make coupons.  I bought this thing right when it popped up but I should have known I can't afford the time to complete even one coupon per week.  Is there anyone out there that has the lessons that would be willing to take a few special requests?  If so, I'd like to post them here or in a PM.  You can always PM me here or at my vendor page in my sig.
I wonder if, after these coupons have been verified to work, we could add them to the OC?  They would all be healthy items, so that could be a breath of fresh air for most of the OC customers.

You know I love you two and you have been my biggest supporters, I nderstand we are all busy, and my services never expire. I'm here until you are 100% satisfied. With that being said, if the only reason you havent made a coupon is because you havent had the time, well... that's not really a review, hehe.

I know yall wish me the best, no worries there, I'd just love to hear from the guys who have completed the lessons. It literally takes 3-4 hours and with all of my added directions and help with any questions, it's easy mode.... so please someone give me some feedback who has actually had the time to make it work.

Hey PL,

Quick question...would you advise against using any of the OC collection other than the NEWLY updated ones? For example, I have some that were updated in Feb. and still aren't expired. Should I not use these? Thanks man.

Regards.

those are still viable.  only a small amount were reported to the cic and even then they still worked everyday.  there have been tons used recently no issues.  as long as it isnt expired you are fine.  the new ones just add that extra layer of comfort

I am downloading the new update of the OC. :D
Can't wait to see the updates.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Real life has caught up with me.
Just wanted to update everybody. I tried twice getting $25 iTunes at Walmart and it failed to scan twice. Kept saying not a valid coupon. Will try again somewhere else.

Also I got three more Beats Studios, and have made ~$500 profit so far selling these babies. PL you're amazing.

I've also been using the OC every time I go grocery shopping. Has saved me a ton of money.
Being a college student saving money on food is the greatest thing in the world.

Well I've just started to try today, my first 2 transactions were successful, then I hit a string of places that said they don't take internet coupons.. Guess I wasn't the first one through there hah. Did one more, but I'll be more prepared tomorrow to go hit a new big store in town :] Saved about $16 total.

But damn this shit is fun...

Hey couponers....
Has anyone busted a Visa $25 at Walgreens lately, I had my first bad run tonight I must have hit 3-4 CVS's and Walgreens. The CVS was for the 50 Shell card and everyone i hit I was told they weren't allowed access for the gift card over ride and i would have to come back when the GM was there...daytime. The Walgreens i actually talked 2 managers into scanning my $25 visa card and they got a "no code found" error, one even keyed it in with the same response. I think they may have blocked this in the system, I busted one at CVS a few nights ago so does anyone have any advice or had a similar problem? Also I hear people are doing good with the Dre headphones where are you guys busting these at? color or B&W? PL...any thoughts?
Thanks guys....

Hey sanrio

I usually open up a word document and drag the coupon image into it, I picked up a B&W samsung laser printer at Fry's for $55. It works great for the OC collection, some of the larger oones I resize by dragging the corner in, but the size there at now on the full page is fine, print clip and save! I used the $20 off on the HP 1000 last week at WalMart, it cost me $14! Good luck, feel free to PM me if you need further instruction.

As far as the no code found I believe I saw earlier in this thread about there being a few different variations of the number on the barcode, so you have to make sure it matches.

Wanted to mention two things...had a run with the OC coupons...saved $160 dollars total and paid $30. It was glorious.

On another note, I've had about 10-15 people PMing me about the shell cards. I responded to a few who I know have been on the forums and I can trust with the information (along with karma, various factors, etc) but I think it's absolute BS when I ask the same person I just gave critical information to about where they purchased an item I'm interested in and get no response. This is a COMMUNITY...I will no longer be giving out detailed explanations of which (I find to be a very flawless technique with obtaining free gift cards) based on people being careless and possibly messing up chances with these gems. I'll talk to PL and get his advice but seriously guys....we are a tiny percent with such opportunities to save money and even make money. Don't take this for granted and mess this up!

i agree with sharing of info, but its a coupon lol only so many ways to use it.  the people that are unsuccessful either havent hit enough places or have shitty SE skills.  period.

also matching UPCs but thats the first thing u do.

oh and I have had a manager tell me they didnt take those because so many fakes.  Yea i walked out with my $50 outback steakhouse gift card.  its all in how you hustle and SE.  some are cut out for it, others not as much.  but it works for everyone eventually, some are just more "tuned in"

If you are decent with a computer it takes about 2-4 hours of messing with it to make your first working coupon, and then it becomes much easier. My second coupon took 30 minutes to make, and now it takes 10-15 minutes or so. Plus my lessons come with 100% gaurantee that you will make working coupons or your money back. You of course have to at leqast try though... you can't just say "Yeah you sent me everything, but I changed my mind and want a refund."

PL

Awesome!  I've got a few physical goods I need to procure from the road first, but I'll definitely be grabbing that as soon as I can.  And any coupons I make I'll be more than happy to share.  This is going to be fun!

I know you would have no way of knowing this but I have been using the HC collection when they first came out. I still continue to find ways around getting turned down. I agree on the people who are using them must have shitty SE skills...but that's why I made it a point to only give a more advanced "detailed" technique that has been successful for me in over 2k in cards (maybe more) to more veteran people.

I don't doubt your methods nor would I complain especially when I have not given it a shot.....you're my boy and I always try to joke around and lighten things up because i know how busy you are and how hectic your schedule is.Laughter is the best medicine.....And the ogre doctor doesn't even have a co-pay.Your by far my favorite dude on here.Ignore the nonsense and enjoy your week brother.

I've been out of town since I bought them, and I'm not trying to do graphic design work on this PoS netbook lol.  As soon as I get back home to my real rig I'll start busting some out and make sure to let everyone in here know how it goes though!

To those who are considering buying the lessons, I'd highly suggest it.  The instructions he sent in the first message alone are worth the money, and the fact that you get his assistance along the way is priceless.  I have no doubt that anyone would be able to figure this out, even if you don't have any experience w/ Adobe software.

Yes but wraith is a bada$$, so take that into consideration.  The OC should be skill-less work once you've hit the stores that aren't spending a ton of resources on loss prevention associated with counterfeit coupons.  There aren't many national chains hustling us too hard, from what I understand.  Walmart and Target and CVS are favorites of many here.
As for HC it is a bit f a jedi mind trick to walking out with that $50 gift card.  Wraith I should have TorChat up tomorrow so I'll PM you my addy and we can talk about HC some more.

    I got a $50 card for $15 ($40 off + $5 store fee) from CVS the other day, however,  sadly today a store owner announced there was a nationwide email detailing how all discount coupons for gc's are fraudulent. I'm happy that I saved $45 on a $60 purchase using the hc HP coups and some oc ones. BIC didn't add to my total savings at WM."


Do the gift cards for $x off $25 / $50 GC's work without approval for self-checkouts at WM/TARGET?

Do the dimensions of the coupons matter? I have made some smaller ones that are about 2x4.5inches by accident.

Hello everyone. Thanks again  PL for all you do.

I had great success today with the OC.

KMART- seems overpriced anyway, not much selection, no cottonelle, had bounty
Walmart- went to three, no issues,  always have everything, profile young cashier walla.
Target- even easier but with class. I like target.

just noticed the soda stream is gone...do you have plans on bringing that one back or did it get retired?

also i was wondering on the foodsaver and logitec...has anyone had luck on these? did you use normal paper or did you break down and get good photo paper?
thanks for any info you wanted to share on those...

Wow Thank you PL today my 1st day using OC and total saved $50  ;D
also Crisco olive oil works fine but just want to let you know on the very bottom you didn't space out "andvarieties"
now will 6inches height x 4inches width coupon work and will it raise suspicion as to differences in size with the regular coupon?

I don't know how well you know me, but I'm interested! I've only used the HC collection and I've had all success with it. Just one damn time, my first time, when I got rejected for the shell gift card. When I figured out UPC codes, that was a problem of the past!

Whats up Couponomanaics?

Just an update, I went on an extensive run today. Learned a few things that I thought I would share. First I have confirmed that my area Walgreens at leat the 10-12 I have went to have somehow voided the coupon code for the $25 visa's..UPC's match but I keep getting "Not a valid code' response, would have had 4 today if it weren't for that. They work fine at CVS. Also was ablre to pass a $50 at walgreens. I'm having a hrd time finding Shell $50 that match, I found them at Office Depot and all 3 locations were more than willing to cash them, to the point of being overly friendly, but the coupon code doesn't work in the system :( I'm going back with some electronics soon though =o) Also found a bunch of CVS's on one side of town that had $50 shell cards that didn't match, but $25's that did, so I got 2 locations to give me 2X$25's! One guy was so sure that it wouldn't work he was preparing me for it the whole time he was scanning and punching...then he stopped and said I'll be damned..good for you! when it worked...all in all a good day1 got gas until payday and lunches too!!

TIP - I have found all the GC coupons work better on a heavy stock or a light glossy laser stock in color, also don't be scared to get creative with the back side of the coupon...seems to do the trick for me!

Good Luck everyone!

First run with the OC, just general goodies like condoms and clif bars, subtotal was $48 and I only spent around $8ish. Amazing thing you guys are doing over here. I've been trying to read as many pages as I can.

I profiled the youngest cashier and when I handed her the coupons she looked at them in disbelief and immediately called over her supervisor, she hadn't even scanned them yet. The manager comes over looks at me, looks at the coupons, says to the cashier "Do they not scan or what?"

Cahier replies "Oh I haven't scanned them yet, internet coupons can sometimes be fake." Line is building up behind me and people are looking PISSED lol. This process took about 10 minutes. The coupons obviously scanned, I never really lost my cool I just pretended to look somewhat irritated while on the inside I was like "Holy fuck this is awesome!"

Once again thank you!

My only curiosity is when the store sends these coupons for a refund does it also fool the manufacturer? I can foresee allowing all coupons EXCEPT manufacturer's coupons. Who's foolin' who?

Assume that I'm spreading the coupons around several different stores which I plan to do :)

Post by: jacklinks on March 25, 2013, 08:21 pm
Just checking in to say the coupons have been saving me a lot of money over the last couple of months. Only annoying thing is that Wal-Mart has a lot of items that are just under the value of the coupon so the cashier has to override the amount. If I get a cashier that doesn't give a fuck it's awesome because Wal-Mart is paying me for the item, on the other hand a couple of times I have gotten a cashier who makes a big deal about it and calls over a supervisor.

Also, Chobani and Sara Lee bread coupons do not work, at least in my area as the upc's don't match up

Damn!  Nice work, Dude!  I was really excited to see the $100 Visas but a little disappointed that it was of the 3 per page variety; the full page ones were always the way to go in my experience.  What stores did you use them at?  What kind of paper do you use?  K-Mart has always been the slam dunk on the Visas for me.
 
Thanks very much for the updates PL!  I might be able to try some out tomorrow, if not then definitely by Wednesday!  I'll be sure to report back with my results shortly after.  Would it be too much to ask for you to put the $100 cards on a full page ad?  That would be fantastically helpful!

The fact I didnt full page it was by design and a good thing for us. First off we will have brand new full pages, so I didnt want to waste it there. Plus we have some other really incredible things in the works. So this not being put on the full page was a good thing.

Each visa was at a diff walgreens.. (failed at about 3 walgreens before hand), my hot gf is all i have to thank. I know I look suspect.. just an overall.. "yeah he is shady" look. Tho my chick said it seemed very lucky to get the visa to  go thru.. I can always tell when it is a visa that she gets cus she comes skipping out of the store with s a mile wide smile. We had some steaks just now.. vodka drunk and picked up another olive garden 25 on the way home. fuuuuck i need a cig. cant believe i forgot the camel coups! now i will try and substitute with bho :).  We failed about 6 shots at walgreens, no luck, shit managers.. My gf was pissy about getting turned down so much.. saying the HC was bs (while she was still basking in the OC goodness). I said we would consider the HC as a tribute for our OC fortune, and still try to pull off some nice deals here and there with teh HC... well with the new HC updates we had a new little fight.. i did my braveheart triumph speech..and yeah.. its on again hahaha. my advise is dont give up.. give it a few days... re think the spots you hit.. we got 50 dollar from a kwik shop... another food gc from a gas station... just because.. what the fuck if it dose not work? we walk out and poop in the window washer wipers? YES. but we still roll the dice again. or at least i did.. and today it paid off nice as shit.
\
Overall there is understandably more suspicion from the HC coups.. so it is a less of a chance for them to work... You have toe MAKE them work for you..IT IS A NUMBERS GAME. When I was single and wanted a hot girl friend.. I decided to approach and flirt with ever hot chick i saw.. No matter what.. the worst that could happen is being embarrassed.. So it is worth a small blush for the chance of warm woman.. Well the first chance i took.. paid off MAJOR.. Was on the phone with a friend, telling about how i have this major hottie my number.. then another call came thru.. clicked back over to tell my boy that it was that very same hottie.. SOoo moral of the story.. take a fucking risk. wether it is a coupon or a fat titted skank... fuck every day up it's tight little !

The security officer came back with the CSM to ask where I got the Visa gift card. I told them a dude named Purple Lotus gave them to me.lol J/K. Anyway they all work great and these new ones were sure refreshing to use since we beat the hell out of the others.lol  Hey PL cant wait to see the OC additions and the missing ones updated. These all work perfect. I have been helping my family a lot with these and the savings in phenomenal. If you are thinking about buying these coupons, it is a must have.

The original has more everyday items like grocery items and doesn't have coupons with a tremendously high value. Anyone can use these and you won't draw any suspicion, unless you're retarded or something.

The hardcore collection has things like a Free $100 Visa Coupon which takes a little more skill and experience to pull off. Gotta be good at social engineering and know how to talk your way into and out of things.

WE passed all of the HC updates yesterday between 3 people and the only thing I could not get to work was the 100 Visa at Target. The security officer came back with the CSM to ask where I got the Visa gift card. I told them a dude named Purple Lotus gave them to me.lol J/K. Anyway they all work great and these new ones were sure refreshing to use since we beat the hell out of the others.lol  !!

LOL I'm going to have to use that line myself one day. "Yeah, I got these from PurpleLotus, you should check him out!" I think 420blindman once said he slipped my name in while listing the websites he gets coupons from to the cashier.

Whew, alright I just finished page 3/30 of this thread, and as I mozy along through the rest of it I thought I would post with some questions before I buy....

1.  Who ends up paying for these coupons?  It's the stores, right?

2.  How often do stores send away their coupons and how long does it take before they sort the legit ones from the fakes?  If I get a gift card should I use it right away?

Thanks,

Congrats on finishing 3 whole pages of reading  before taking a break to ask questions! #1 depends, in some cases the stores are likely reimbursed and the manufacturer eats the costs, in others the stores are likely not reimbursed.. There is no way for us to know if these are ever honored or not. #2 It is incredibly likely that most of these will never be flagged. The best course of action is to spend some time on this thread periodically and pay attention to when our members have issues. Typically it is suggested to use the GCs immediately. I have never had an issue with one being deactivated or having funds removed, and I have held onto some for quite a while. So I don't ascribe to that rule too much, but others do (including PL) so you can decide for yourself.

That's insane dude! Good job. I need to fix the few missing coupons that didn't get updated in the OC first. A handful I had on a separate drive and overlooked on the last update. Hoping to get that 100% fixed tonight. The full page HCs shouldn't be very hard at all to finish after that.

1. Honestly, I've heard different versions of this story time and time again, and I think it just goes either way. The big stores and coupon clearing houses are currently suing each other over the issue, so I guess that means a judge will decide.
2. Only one I have heard of ever being deactivated so far is the VISA cards. I could stand corrected though, just haven't seen or heard other reports. I know the 12 month xbox subscription I got is still working after 3 months of use.

@TFB: most people don't know that we have broken 500 pages already. I deleted the old threads when I retired the old collections (seemed to only be relevant to LE at that point), and then I was "forced" to again delete the review thread for these and start over. Plus now there is the newbie review thread. This thread right here is still a baby.

Just finished up page 5 of 30....

I ask about who pays for them because I'm curious about who has the incentive to stop this practice.  Obviously if the stores pay for it then things are a bit tougher. 

Do stores sort their coupons (and find fakes) daily?  Weekly?  Anyone know?

Ok, I updated the OC to include the few I could find that were missing from this past update. They are contained in the one file that was updated today, and if you happen to notice anything still missing then message me and I'm here ready to fix it, but I got all the ones I could spot missing.

Ya know, sometimes I get stressed out and frustrated with Silk Road and real life and let things effect me, but then I just remember that the end result of my work here just took millions of dollars from billion dollar corporations and gave it to thousands of people.

My friends dad is a doctor and still uses the soda stream coupon. I'm not going to lie that using these coupons and having managers tell me they are fake is a turn off. What freaks me out is when the GM or whoever comes by and tells the managers to override all the coupons and just set them aside for theft prevention or whatever each store calls it.

Post by: purplelotus on March 28, 2013, 02:22 am
I'm from the East side. Third Street and Martin Luther King Blvd. Probably not a good idea to go couponing there.

I still have never ran into anyone who bought my coupons, but I have ran into people in real life who told me that there was a guy on SilkRoad selling coupons and I should go check his listing out... I'm like "WTF why you didn't buy them?!"

You can imagine it's pretty hilarious in real life having someone suggest to me that I might like to check out the coupon pack on SilkRoad.

Yeah, confrontations like that can definitely turn you off from couponing for awhile, but honestly in 3 years of using coupons I have never once been completely turned down with OC coupons, I've had single ones turned down and I just said "Ok, well I don't want that item then" but I never had a whole stack of coupons turned down. Now the HC pack is a different story, but I still shoot 70% from the free throw line.

To this day I still have NEVER had someone come to me and say they could not make a profit off the OC. It's why I won't sell the HC to someone who didn't buy the OC first, because then people don't have the knowledge, experience, and confidence not to completely lose their motivation to try after they get told no they could not have $150 off an XBOX once. I might sell less HC packs with that rule, but I consider it damage control.

Back for more questions.... :)

1.  When a coupon is determined fake and sent around in an email or fax (like what happened to the $100 VISAs apparently), is it just the graphic design of the coupon that is distributed or is the barcode itself voided?  If I know my way around Photoshop can I just paste old barcodes onto a new design?

2.  Do any legitimate coupons actually use hologram stickers?  It may be a dumb question, I've held about three coupons my entire life, but I cannot recall actually seeing a sticker on any....  Where is a good place to get stickers?  There's only one listing on SR and it's for phoney looking ones.

Tried the Subway gift card at K-mart and the checker god bless her tried everything possible to get it to go and it just wasn't happening.  Also went into Office Max a place that had been golden as far as some HC's went.  Thought I would give the Olive Garden gift card a try while buying a fairly expensive floor anchor safe, and was told they no longer accept ANY manufac. coups.  Sad I must have went to the golden goose one or two times to often.

Post by: purplelotus on March 28, 2013, 03:54 am
God bless you j1m1th1ng, but GiftCard coupons won't work at K-Mart because K-Mart has it's own giftcards which all 100% have the same UPC and it's 76750 no matter which gift card they sell. I could technically make a collection called the "HC K-Mart collection" and use the same damn UPC and databar and it would work with everyone of them, but you gotta match those first 5 digits to the UPC, most especially with the HC collection because those are the ones stores are trying to be tricky with, but it would just get too time consuming and confusing to customers if I started making sets just to target certain stores. I just go for the most common ones. The OC is generally universal everywhere, so after awhile you just stop looking at the UPCs at all.

I could make a coupon that said "$50 off ANY gift card that K-Mart carries" and it would work for them all, of course K-Mart is falling for that! :-)

Also when managers say things like "we no longer accept manufacturer coupons" that's exactly what we would do, say some shit that wasn't true to get you to nicely go away. The HC collection is a game of chess sometimes. It's awesome when it works, but then discouraging when it doesn't, that's why I push everyone to run the normal ones first for awhile... you start to get the confidence that you can pull anything off, and then you really can.

K-Mart and Target are my all time favorite places to use coupons. I wish I had more K-Marts because I have had 100% success with HC coupons at K-Mart... go hit the electronics register when someone that isn't 60+ and looks like they have been with K-Mart for a decade isn't behind the counter.

My $100 VISA coupon was only released this week and never before seen, while all of my VISA coupons have technically "worked" but it's not a super easy sale to make that you have a legit coupon for a free $100 VISA. So no that coupon has not been "zapped" but the VISA coupons in general did blow up like fucking free cocaine... so yeah stores are catching on to the VISA coupons in general.

Also yes, manufaturers sometimes use holograms for very large coupons. Go to the website of any company that sells your favorite product, click "contact" and then send them a store about how your $50 pack of 16 razor refills was defective and the rubber stuff that protects your face was all warped like it was moistened or something... they will send you a coupon 100% of the time. It might take 3 weeks, but I've gotten a coupon from just about every company/product I have done that to. Many of them with holograms on them, since they are so high dollar. I personally own a bunch of VISA holograms I have yet to use. I was thinking of designing a brand new full page add, printing them in high quality color and paper and popping the holograms on them and selling them here on SR.

My bet is an email was sent around saying "$100 free Visa? "Yeah thats a scam." Here is the deal guys, and this might come as a shocker, Visa does not send out COUPONS for free Visa cards. When a company such as AT&T does a promo such as "free $25" giftcard, they don't send a coupon for one, they send one via the mail. Honest to FUCKING god, if we could get a fake 1800 number set up we could get 90% of these coupons passed. If a bold text said "Retailer: please call 1800-fak-cupn to verify this coupon" we would all be rolling in the dough.

Post by: purplelotus on March 28, 2013, 04:11 am
It's funny, because hacking an 800 number is actually easier then you think. I've done it. You can find ranges of 800 numbers where you can press * or # or whatever and it asks you for the passcode... then you just run the standards 1234, 1111, 2222, the last 4 digits of the 800#, etc at them, and if it doesn't work you can move to the next number in the range. Within a couple hours you will break one and completely own the 800 #, you can use it as voicemail or as a forward to any number you want and often you can use them to make outcalls to other numbers for free. Companies provide those 800 #s to their employees for real so they can make free phone calls, if you hack one it's some cool shit, but now a days we all have free minutes nationwide on our cell phones, so it's less cool and I don't waste time like I did when I was a kid, before they invented "free" long distance calling.

Anyways, we can dream of the things like 800 #s and QR codes and fake verification websites, but so far I haven't been hooked up with a web designer who can make the verification website a reality. I did meet a guy once who could make a onion site that generates coupons that look like I made them... it was a fun time, but ultimately it did not last long. I wish I could have done more to save that, but it's now gone.

Ahh, yeah the old one.  A new $100 VISA coupon was just released a couple days ago.  I was astonished that stores could have already caught on to that.

As for your other question, it depends.  If the store scans the coupon and it comes up as a fraudulent coupon that way (happens occasionally, never to me, but people have noted the occurrence), then the bar code has been compromised.  Otherwise it's just the graphics.  However, if they know that a fake coupon for product X is going around, they'll be looking VERY closely at yours even if you change the image and or/wording.  I'd guess they wouldn't take it, but stranger things have happened.

Expiration dates on the other hand you can change on your own in photoshop.

Finally going to get to hit some stores tomorrow.  Planning mostly on a gift card run.  I'll report back when I get the chance.

You haven't noticed that the price of bitcoins goes up everyday lately? My original collection way back when, the retired one cost like 8btc, now you can buy the new one twice for 1btc. I made my first SR purchase and the bitcoins cost me $5.40 each, today I saw them reach $90 each... if I had known this was going to happen a year ago, I'd be epically rich right now, but I cashed out or spent most of my bitcoins along this journey, profiting much less off the fact that they constantly have increased in value. Believe me, I wish I had held on to those thousands of bitcoins I've had... but cashed out a long long time ago. I'd easily have a quarter of a million dollars today, but I was around for major price drops too where I would wake up and suddenly lost $700 in my sleep, so I just started to cash out at whatever the current rate was so that I was atleast making the USD that I was selling the coupons for. I've done fine, and at this point it's hard to speculate if a BTC will break $100 each or if it will drop by $20 tomorrow. I bet it breaks $100... it's such a risky currency to actually hold on to, but lately it has paid off incredibly to those who did. I'm still cashing out whenever I get the chance. I don't want to stack 500 bitcoins just to watch them drop down 50% in value because a law was passed or a major source was hacked or whatever the case. It's one of those things where in hindsight you wished you had done things differently. I think bitcoins are likely about to go main stream which will cause them to break $100+/each, hell maybe even $125-150, which will ultimately lead to a downward spiral in price, but who knows, I'm not an economist and even economists can't predict some unheard of shit like bitcoins.

Thanks, coachella420, I never saw that listing... $3.50 a sticker is rather steep, but if I'm buying $50 or $100 cards with 'em, who cares!  I'll place an order when I'm ready for the HC listing, or maybe I'll even try it on a OC coupon.  Would that look phoney?  A hologram sticker on a $4 off coupon?

Thanks,

Well, not much more needs to be said to verify that PurpleLotus's coupon sets are the best thing you can purchase on Silk Road. However, I purchased the Original and Hardcore collection 3 days ago. The day after I purchased, I went to multiple Wal-Marts and Walgreens and got $250 worth of stuff for $31. I have all new white tees, underwear, socks, FOOD, giftcards etc. Wish I would have bought this years ago as I would probably have a house by now, lol.. but seriously.

Thanks a lot PurpleLotus, long. live. prosper.

I lowered it to about $2 per sticker.

One thing I have found that works great is digitally adding a box, with the sentence "RETAILER, PLEASE REMOVE STICKER TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT USE." Once whoever removes the sticker, it leaves "void" and the vendors even more assured of the real thing.

YAY 100 pages again!!!

So it's been brought to my attention that more areas carry the 76750 cards found at K-Mart than I personally found in my area. Apparently many other stores I do not have here also deal with the 76750 UPC on all gift cards. If this is seriously the case to where many of you find this in your area, then is there demand to see all my giftcards reworked with the 76750 UPC? It would be a separate listing which would need to be repurchased and also the rule of owning at least one previous collection would apply. It would only contain my giftcards and have a lower price point than the HC for sure. Then it would basically work out that any giftcard I add to the current HC also gets added to the 76750 collection.

This is all assuming there is in fact a demand for these 76750 GC coupons. You'll notice I already made 76750 versions of the VISA ones in the current collection. Those would not be taken out of course, but do people find they use them alot?

Please share your opinions so I know if this is something people actually want to see or not.

100 pages was inevitable. So glad to still be a part of our amazing community!

As for 76750, I have found them in various places around my area. Definitely K-Mart, but in some of the local chain grocery stores and drug stores as well.

It is always exciting to hear PL is cooking up new products. Like a kid on christmas, I can't wait!

There are several free web page builders you can google. They allow you to make web pages that you can visit for free with long addresses. most of them will have widgets you can ad to your site. look for a paypal widget.. you can create a mock up page for your fake band.. and have a link to buy album.. or donate or buy artwork or some shit.. thru the site creation you can put your paypal addy for payment recipient. Theeeen you can make fake purchases to yourself thru your own site. paypal will get a cut.

Or you could make private ebay listings and make purchases to yourself, but then ebay gets a cut.

Or you can maybe purchase things at walmart and return for cash.. but im not sure how that works with items purchased via visa gc..

Thanks for the quick response!

I believe the only way to get cash back at Walmart is to have a receipt and have it show that you paid in cash or check. Otherwise you will get store credit.

Ya, pawn shops are kinda fucked anymore. Pretty much every transaction requires ID, unless you are just buying. Not to mention LE are in regular contact due to the nature of the business. However I would imagine one would have to exchange tons of gift cards before the dots connect. IF only you had a fake ID 8)

have a friend send to plasticjungle.com, they require a paypal or mailing address but the risk should be low

I've heard of a few places online that you can cash in gift cards. I'm sure they are legit although I haven't used any or looked into the rates yet. Any gift cards I get I use or give to friends but it would be worth doing if the rates were decent.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: wraithe on March 29, 2013, 02:27 am
rates are normally 76% of value unless it is a in high demand card like best buy.  downside is they mail you a check or deposit into paypal or amazon credit.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: robotrippin on March 29, 2013, 02:46 am
Not a bad rate actually, I was expecting closer to 50%.  The credits aren't bad but fuck a check, obviously cash is king. I bet the risk is minimal also. By time they figure out anything is wrong, if they do at all, it would be too late.

I sell merchandise over the clearnet and have used such sites to move funds around in paypal (without waiting the 5 days for bank transfer simply purchase items with my credit card for instant paypal funds). Havnt moved around any visa gc funds yet.. just blow them quick on shit I would never buy haha.

Another route may be Etsy? if you post bogus art listings.. idk how much of a cut they get from sales or whatever, but maybe worth looking into.. I forgot totally about pawn shops.. I remember after holiday season they were promoting the buying of gift cards.. could deff be worth it... I think I killed the visa 100 in my area.. they all say shit about some email now.. but have been scoring big on food GCs.. since im trying to lose weight.. I may have to try pawning a few of these bad boys..

Another tip i noticed tonight.. Kwik Shop has a lot of gift cards.. and are mostly open all night.. and at night there is normally one kid working.. no fussy manager. I had some good luck tonight at these few gas stations... hope this will help any of you that are getting shut down on your attempts..

One more thing.. I have been running into almost endless amounts of 76750 upc.. I would loooove to see these updated as most of my area are these digits..

Too bad he hasn't been on the forums lately, I think I knocked him down below 50 posts, and no one enjoys making that climb,

good call bigndn, I'll fix that up tonight. I need to get more organized, what happens is I have separate encrypted drives and I'll end up using one of them to make some coupons and then use others when it's convenient to make others and sometimes I simply don't get them all combined properly when it's update time.

I've actually made coupons and accidently not released them on new coupon release days, just to go back and find them later and go "oh sweet new coupons I can add!"

I've learned a lot of lessons on this adventure. Better file organization being one of them I'm going to have to improve on.

Chill bro. Before you go off telling people they are idiots, at least make sure you use the proper form of "you're".

In addition, I don't think PL would appreciate having his coupons pictured and posted as you have done. Regardless of how a coupon is made and used, it is not yours to distribute and I'm quite positive PL has stated explicitly he wouldn't like his work published online under any circumstances.

Thats a fucking great ideal man. See, your part of the reason why I posted this coupon here.

Your all mourns who need to STFU and sit in the back while the people who know how to make a coupon talk.

Jesus Christ. Ok people, I am done. Go back to crying to PL about how "the target cashier would not take the $100 coupon which was printed on black and white paper and had Cheetos finger prints on the bar code. DO SOMETHING." It gets to a point where your done figuring out the coupon system, and you move into the second level, which is making retail believe these are authentic coupons. We have the MANF ID, and that's all you need to make a fucking coupon. You guys think its some secret number that purple lotus discovered via hacking the VISA servers? Some "TOP SECRET" coupon code embedded deep in the databar that only 3 men currently alive know?

Who's crying? The coupon system? Really? Like it's some sort of complex and complicated labyrinth that only a few brave souls can conquer lol? I actually agree with what you're idea is implying i.e. having to dress up the hardcore coupons to make them more believable but I am failing to understand why you wanted to post pictures of a coupon you haven't even used yet (I'm assuming you haven't). You're just coming across as a toddler throwing a temper tantrum because no one is worshiping you for your idea.

Coachella, are you 12 years old bro? Getting all worked up because you think you're badass and the only one who knows how to use these? Bitch, plenty of people have used the HC collection with no problems. Nothing, - NOTHING - you posted was revolutionary, its all been done and said before.

"Oh wow I put a hologram on it I'm so legit I know how to coupon better than you guys" you realize what a douche you sound like? I've used most of the HC collection without any issues not doing any of that extra bullshit, improving my RoI and simultaneously cutting down on time spent doing stupid shit.

 I'm not disagreeing that you have a good idea, no matter how unoriginal it is, but don't go around acting all superior and acting as if you own the rights to distribute PL's collection when he's said very explicitly he doesn't want them published. You picture accomplishes nothing that couldn't have been said in words. You photoshop skills are shit anyways, the line about the eagle looks so misplaced with it not being centered. In general, its stupid to begin with which is why I laughed, lol.

And quite frankly, if people aren't smart enough or resourceful enough to know how to use the HC collection without using these holograms, etc. then they probably shouldn't be using the HC collection to begin with.

Alright guys, im out. Go back to doing yall's thing. Sorry I posted a almost completely blacked out coupon with several identify marks removed and NO information that could compromise anything freely showing how my technique which has worked 95% of  the time for myself, who is not a good salesman. One user made the comment that only PL knows how to make coupons? Yeah, no. I can spit em out just as fast, if not faster, then him. See I don't need purplelotus to do thing like "add a coupon for allergy medication," I wake up and do it mother fucker. My dog needed $60 flea medication, coupon that bitch too. I was trying to be a nice guy and offer advice to some of the others that have had trouble getting the $100 card to work. And, listen to this last part very closely, for the ones getting pissy about me "distributing PL coupons," take a look at the coupon I posted, and the couple of other 4chan made Free visa cards. Inseparable. Notice I took out the important stuff?

The reason PL tells your not to "publish them" is because he's got a new template. These Old E-centive and smart shopper coupons are at the top of the watch out list at most stores. The last thing PL wants is his coupon posted on 4chan and his template becoming notorious. What most of you fail to understand, is that I protected his template 100%. Post the edited blacked out version I posted on 4chan and watch them laugh and say "good luck with that."  The version I posted had all the "good stuff" taken out. But, like wild apes, you fucks started jumping around and banging your chest screaming PL NO WANT, YOU LISTEN TO PL HE NO WANT. Why do you guys suck up? Do you sneak off and send him letters of endearment in hopes that he will make a coupon for that 2 pounds of Vaseline you have had your eye set on for a while?

Its ridicules to think that your morons are jumping up and down over a coupon that looks just like the other 10 currently in the CIC "counterfeit" database. I'm not saying PL coupons are shit, im saying WHAT I POSTED was something that has been seen, talked about, and held meetings over.

Wish I could just learn to center stuff and be smart like you, bro.

So anyway...  I made my first run today and used the Clif bar, hp inkjet, and Myoplex coupons at Walmart. Had a cashier who was a little older than me, possibly in or just out of college who had the look of "I do not want to be here right now." She took the coupons, didn't even look at them, and they scanned no problem. I paid 12 dollars (also bought bodywash and a soda) on what should have been about a 35 dollar purchase. The listing already paid for itself and I'm glad I finally bought it.
Thanks PurpleLotus.

Also, the dude above me really needs to learn how to spell  ;D

How come so many people can't get the quote function right? I fuck it up too when I'm fucked up... we all do.

Now about the coupon that was posted. It wouldn't have made me mad, because it actually brought some good ideas to the table, in no way infringed or threatened me for sure, plus now people who wonder what one of the coupons looks like gets to see them. Which is something I've almost never done, and don't care to. If someone wants to check out a coupon from the OC then just ask me and you can have any one you want for free. Don't ask me for a HC sample until you already own the OC and have used it, and then if you want to sample one of the HC coupons then just come ask me again and you'll get that free too.

With that being said, I'm sure the community has a split opinion and some people very much don't want the coupons to be seen by any more people than it has to, which means full paying people on SR. And of course I stand behind the community and so I do discourage behavior that does that in general. To be honest though, I don't think what you did had any real negative effect on the community, and I didn't mind it. I actually read all the drama first, and then saw your picture. For a second Iw as wondering WTH you had done, but then I saw what you were up to and it's cool with me that you did it but obviously it's not the type of thing I want to encourage any further.

For the record Coachella, you went back and edited those pictures after the fact. Initially, nothing was blacked out. So that so called template that you claim to have not leaked? You did. Now, you've edited the post to remove whatever you felt was "sensitive".

 Today I was trying to pick up some Hanes, and 3 different chains had all the same, but different UPC code from what we have. I snapped a picture, could I send this to you? I need some undies!

I updated the HC file #1 as the Apple TV coupon I recently updated I had a flaw in it's new release, it's now fixed.

@That 1 Dude: This is Easter weekend, but I'm going to try to make time to press forward with a 76750 gift card collection and sell it at a sub price of like $20 or $25 or whatever I think is worth however long it takes me to create, and then limit it only for sale to someone who has bought the HC or wants to buy them both at the same time.

Speaking of Easter weekend, There is 5 minutes left for me to wish you all a Good Friday in my time zone, and also I hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

@AllDayLong: I love your story, no you can't send me UPC's of Hanes, but I will make an effort to make a Hanes coupon which works like the K-Cups and HP Ink coupon and it makes it where the UPC does not matter. I think this might be an item which warrants that also.

@HEATFAN: Thank you for standing on principle when no one was here to call it out. you are correct picture of our coupons should never be posted here for any reason, the same effect could have been done just by taking the picture of the hologram on the coupon with the tiny bit he added, but no harm, no foul... let's let this one go.

With that being said, this is the first time some drama has gone down on an epic read scale where I was completely not involved and I rather enjoyed the read, as I know for a fact many people who have read my many threads have enjoyed them simply for the drama factor. Thanks guys.

Honestly, it was up for maybe a minute when I realized that I had posted the un-blacked out one. Regardless, if someone saw the coupon its....You know what, never mind. I have been couponing since early 09. I have picked up on a few techniques and tested them immensely. For someone who can't even explain what the numbers in a UPC means to say my idea is "stupid," well thats stupid. We can't all walk into walmart with a leather jacket and giant aviators and throw a stack of $100 gift cards in the face of some low self-esteem cashier and get away with it. Most people can't even do one, as evident on almost every other page of this thread.

I wasn't trying to sell anything. I simply wanted to follow up on a comment about card-stock and holograms being a huge boost for success from a few days ago. Who was I to know I would be attacked by a huge group of none UPC reading individuals who think that the CIC is uploading the scan of the coupon into their systems and it will be invalidated tomorrow morning.

But hey man, you don't need none of that BULLSHIT, so who cares.

For you people who are new to coupons, we are at a different stage then a few years ago. A few years ago was stage 1; figure out the bar code system. The stage we are currently in is stage 2; fool retail. These people are told weekly in meetings to watch out for fake coupons. Most of the time when someone gets denied it was not the coupon, its because they walked over to electronics with a black and white print out and a story that Sony hand picked you to win a new PSP today.

Honestly, for the few who acted as rabid as your did, I was only trying to contribute to a community I love. This is not only the PL review thread, its the counterfeit coupon hang out club. Actually its not even that anymore, its the lets sit around and talk about how the HC gift cards don't fool anyone anymore, and the expiration dates are out again.

I also made two changes, updated the Apple TV coupon in the HC collection, and added the Glad Trash Bag coupon to the root directory after having two people say they could not find it. It's funny cause I have the updated coupon myself, but guess I messed up adding it into the zip files, so now it's there for everyone for sure.

I'll LeBron James you on that quote in your face every time, I've only ever used regular paper and black toner for HC coupons, and shoot 70% from the paint. It's a skill, but one which can be learned and achieved through use of the OC. Ask anyone, including coachella420.

Maybe it's just the capitalist in me but I don't see the big deal.  If roaders want to pay that much, let them.  Who can blame him for turning a buck?  Many drugs that vendors can get for pennies on the dollar are being sold for a premium.  If you think their prices are too high, you can enter the market with a price that you feel is fair.  I think selling on SR offers certain safeguards of privacy that Amazon will never in a thousand years honor.  That may be why roaders buy typical items on SR from time to time.  Even the legal items.

Ok...just a quick update. Made my biggest run to date. I got my first paycheck from the new gig yesterday and finally had cash to do it up! So we hit Target first, my GF and I split up a list and coupons and then meet up after the register. I had my first hater! IO hit a register up with an old white lady and she immediately started questioning my coups....first time anyones given me grief on the OC...she went and came back with 2 yopunger black women...both of them sat behind her while she scanned everything, the old woman questioned the first few...the black ladies both told her..if they scan they good! I heard on say they get them from survey sites..and the other pointed out one and said I had one of those yesterday...they're fine. Total savings for me was $71 and change...my girl was 2 registers over and did $55..the only real issue was the new Glad Coupon came up as INVALID...on to Walmart...same tactic, I had no issues...I did figure that the Edy's fruit bars are also the same SKU as Dreyers!! woohooo,,,we have been experimenting with different products on the same coupon...I did $48 no problem at my register...only to look over and see my girl about to blow! The older Black lady at her register had started questioning her coups trying to say if they didn't scan without the gun she couldn't take them...I tried to calm my girl down but ultimately we had to leave the groceries...we could have worked it out I'm sure..but it had been a long day and there was nothing important..i told the manager I would be sending in a complaint...we were very indignant...our counterfeit coupons aren't good enough for y'all??? we bitched all the way home..then had a good laugh...out to the gym and then over to the next town for GC shopping..take it sleazy guys.....

"We need a guacamole coupon. That stuff is expensive now. Anyone like guacamole? Anyone second that?"

That would be cool big...but I think it falls in the produce category and its hard to pin down those SKU's...I'm going to get the lessons from PL soon so I can make my own for the local stuff, I recommend you do too! It keeps PL in cash and think of the $$$$ you can save when you can make a coupon for ANYTHING you buy on the regular!

GC update...I let my GF redeem herself and she KILLED IT tonight...6/7 for GC's 2xSheel $50 and 2x RedLobster and 2x Outback...were taking a road trip to the beach soon to see how they like PL's coups!!

Damn that's awesome! What places did she hit up? Did they work no problem or did she have to give a story? Also about the guacamole, they do make jars but someone would have to provide the UPC/brand you want (there's Mission guacamole at Walmart but someone would have to get the UPC).

On a side note made two medium small runs tonight at a different Walmart and Target. Passed the Tide, clorox wipes, and Dr. Scholl's at Walmart only paying 5.48 on what should have been a 26 dollar bill. At Target I passed the Clorox toilet ball cleaner, Pampers wipes, the Febreeze bottle, and the Gatorade all with no problems paying 8.32 on what should have been a 25 dollar bill. Counting yesterday's run I've already saved 54 dollars from three small runs. I'll make at least one more run tomorrow to test out some more coupons as well as pick up some non-essentials now that I have extra cash to blow.

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while but had one of my biggest runs tonight and thought I'd share. A friend of mine lost his job a short while back and has been struggling so I offered to take him grocery shopping.  We went through all the coupons before hand and ended up printing probably close to 50-60 different coupons, and 3-9 of each coupon.  We went a few days ago and got around $150 worth of groceries for right around $20.  He wanted to go back tonight and so I grabbed the stack that I still had from the time before and we went.  I let him know that I normally have shit luck any time I go after 8:00pm and attempt to use more than a handful of coupons and explained that I expected us to get turned down.  We ended up loading up the cart with close to $400 worth of products.  I believe the total count was right around 70 items, with 64 coupons.  When we went to checkout we couldn't find any cashiers that fit my normal criteria when searching.  So I let him know that I was sure we were going to get turned down. 

As soon as I hand the lady the stack of coupons she immediately started questioning the authenticity of them.  I let her know that I use several different online coupon websites and listed several of them off.  I also let her know that you can sort the coupons on most websites by the highest discount and I tend to print off 10-20 of the highest discount coupons.  I told her that I don't even use half of the shit that I buy and since I am able to get such a large discount on the items I tend to buy large quantities and then donate them to treatment centers for children.  She then called a supervisor over and the supervisor explained to her that if they scanned they would have to accept them.  The cashier began to argue with the supervisor stating that the coupons took too much money off the total and they had to be fake.  She also made it a point to say that they were not allowed to take printed coupons.  At this point I reached below where at about my waist level they had the Walmart coupon policy taped up to the counter, I pulled it off and handed it to her showing exactly where it said they accept printed coupons. 

Needless to say she went through and scanned them all with no problems.  I think a few of the coupons stuck to each other and didn't get scanned though as there were only 58 coupons listed on the receipt.  But I wasn't going to complain considering I was walking out the door with nearly $400 worth of shit for $46! 

PL I'll be sending a tip to you later this week once I get my coins transferred over!

Awesome Zeke. I personally do not like doing it this way. I try my best to keep my total savings just under $50. This keeps the CSM out of it most of the time. If I ever get one of those cashiers who is self righteous, the CSM usually comes over and either scolds them or makes them look foolish for making an issue. Wal-Mart is my favorite store to go, and I like to spread it out and do several different stores with a total savings of just under $50 each. Also I try to go during 'normal' hours so it is moderately busy and the cashiers get flustered if their line is getting too long...

I've yet to see a certain question answered that I hope someone can help with, I've probably just missed it among all of these pages. If you use a self-checkout at Wal-Mart and scan a gift card is it possible to use the free gift card coupons without approval by the store?

I can't answer for certain, but I would say I am pretty sure that you cannot. Gift cards need to be swiped separately to be activated, I don't think you can do this on your own at the self-service stations..

not to mention the use of that template is not very popular due to the fact those are not internet coupons.  I personally do not use that template.  they work, but I would of thought your debut coupon would of been 100% accurate

Guys, I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, this coupon is 100% working and NO cashier or store manager will know its fake. Wraith is using a bar code scanner on his phone that spits out ALL the information about a bar code, the cashier does not have this easily available to them. I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER seen them use it either.

not to mention the use of that template is not very popular due to the fact those are not internet coupons.  I personally do not use that template.  they work, but I would of thought your debut coupon would of been 100% accurate

Where is the typo on the DD?

working or not coachella420 is a soldier. Doing that for anyone for no reason just out of kindness of your heart is awesome, especially after everyone talking shit. Anyway the glad trashbag, covergirl, both bounty, tide washing machine cleaner  was a no go at target. Also at one target for the bic lighters they asked for an ID.  IMO i really dont think its a good idea to add anything in these forums. Add em to the collection. Someone asking for something then it magically appears to me is a no no. Lets keep this legit. Correct me if im wrong please. And how do I quote someone>?

Agreed, probably best to keep it off the forums, PM coupons if you want to share.

You just hit the quote button on the upper right hand corner of the post you want to quote.

the typo was the there is no "clearinghouse" after the "or an authorized"

I said it would work i checked the bardcodes. however the offer code in the barcode does not match the printer version(this is minor)
however the lack of the word clearinghouse would arise suspicious if the coupon was being scrutinized by a CSR, as I said earlier.

Buahahah dude i threw that fucking thing together in 3 mins. Aint not fucking manager or CSR going to sit there, scan it, NAVIGATE TO THE OFFER CODE SECTION, THEN READ OUT THE STRING OF FUCKING NUMBERS MOTHER FUCKER WHO YOU THANK I AM GARY BUSY?. Get your head out PL ass. You guys don't ever quit. I throw together a quick coupon for someone which I GURE-FUCKIN-TEE WILL WORK and you want to scrutinize it? Get that bullshit out of my face.

Guys, I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, this coupon is 100% working and NO cashier or store manager will know its fake. Wraith is using a bar code scanner on his phone that spits out ALL the information about a bar code, the cashier does not have this easily available to them. I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER seen them use it either.

I said it would work.  I do not deny that, nor did I ever.  I was pointing out the errors in your work.  Its called taking pride in your work.

its a technical thing.  most of Pls do not match either.  There is the offer id code in the barcode(databar the fancy one) and then the offer id is printed on the coupon is it above the databar and is the 2nd set of numbers.

In my area the Visa gift cards at Wal-Mart do not match the coupons.

I have renewed interest because of the possibility of activating these at the self checkout lane with no CSM interaction....

Some observations.

1. Running the PNG files through a LOSSLESS compression program saved over 100 megabytes with zero loss in quality. That's huge considering bandwidth cost and how slow onion is to begin with.  I now re-compress all the coupons as soon as I unzip and then re archive.

2. Why release these as image files in the first place? As a vector PDF the *entire* collection would probably be less than 10 megabytes(!!!) and would print at a significantly better resolution than the image files do...... If someone needed change it to a picture for whatever reason they can just load into Photoshop and rasterize it at any resolution needed.

I'll be running my coupons through a quick Automator script to do this from now on.  It would be nice, and would help PL and his customers, if this were done before they were uploaded.

As for vector PDFs, these coupons are probably made in Photoshop at 300 dpi, so making them vector files is going to be tough.

I'm sure you are right. It would be far easier for purp to have made these into one file in Adobe Indesign instead and then output them natively as PDFs.

doesnt matter.  do it right or dont do it all.  the coupon is not for you therefore you should make sure it is 100%.  you want to half-ass something  great  but do it when its just you involved.  if you cant handle the responsibility of making coupons for others then you should not be doing it

Coachella420, you have pissed me off once, which we resolved like gentlemen, and since you have pissed off more than a hand full of other people on this thread. That alone would be enough of a reason for me to tell you to chill out, but releasing coupons on my thread is not acceptable. I know you have never seen me do it, although I did it once when I first started on SR to establish a reputation and Klipp did it to show off our .onion site and what it could produce, but otherwise it's not something I engaged in and yes if you want to share with the community then you are welcome to submit something, although I've still yet to enter anyone's submissions into my collection.

#1 It doesn't take 3 minutes to make a coupon, so suggesting that is not something I appreciate because it devalues my time and work.
#2 I'm unsure of your motives here on my thread, but I'm not completely convinced you are here to contribute anything to the community rather you may be here to try to take advantage of it. In the process you seem to be rubbing some people the wrong way.
#3 This is my review thread, don't ever let me see an entire page of you talking about yourself, and using my name only to defend your typos. Of course I make mistakes, I have to deal with hundreds of coupons. One thing you might never see me do is fuck up a barcode, but I've made typos too which have gotten past me. I fix them, and move on.

You have a vendor account, so if you want to start making coupons and releasing them, then feel free to take on that challenge. You have publicly accused me of leaving you negative feedback when in fact I did not, and someone else did just so they could come brag to me, knowing I'd appreciate it for what you were listing at that time. You asked him to fix it and he told you no, you asked me to then fix it so I asked him too and it was fixed. You basically took 2 vendors listing, reposted them, (actually it was mine you reposted, but another vendor has a similar product) and undercut them by 97% just so you could get a quick boost in ratings, obviously no one appreciated that. I've been cool, but if you want to see what happens when I actually do start throwing punches, then yours is the first to throw... (having already  forgave you for the punches thrown previously at me without any action back from me).

Chill out and be cool or leave. But this is where I tell you, since you have done things that were very far from cool to me, if you take a shot at me, you will find out what it feels like for me to hit you back.

Let's take a look at the very first sentence you ever messaged me... "Here is the deal Purple Lotus. I can, and will fuck you harder then you thought you ever could be."

One on one, you don't really have a chance against someone like me, but this ain't going to be a one on one fight... not with you pissing off an army of SR users. You ever make that mistake again, and I'll have them hold you down, while I fuck you harder than you ever thought you could be. That's just a simple reminder, because we have since made peace, and I have no issues with you at the moment other than you are annoying people and using my thread for reasons other than to leave reviews and chat about using my coupons.

600?!? Those are going to be huge! lol.

You're right though Indesign can be a bitch but since I've had to use it so much it isn't such a big deal anymore. Once a basic template is made and a few styles created then it won't be hard to apply it to hundreds of coupons. Even the product images are so basic there isn't any reason they couldn't be vectorized as well for a 100% non raster file.

P.S. On a side note I just went to Wal-Mart and the coupon was worth more than the product so they actually gave me *cash* not a gift card! Nice. lol.

Have yet to try the Visa gift cards at the self checkout lane though. Doesn't seem like it would work since a CSM is technically required when a single coupon is over 20. Perhaps we could have 19.99 off coupons... :p

Yes, I do need to improve the size of the files, but I'm unsure about lossless compression... is this something that everyone is going to be able to extract with no issues? If so, then shoot me a message and tell me if you have any suggestions on how to minimize the file sizes. I'd greatly appreciate that.

Also, some NEW content is finished... and HC full page updates are also almost ready for upload. Currently deciding the best way to release the new content, as it's some very impressive stuff and we have seen this get out of hand in the past, just making sure we don't cause complete chaos like we did with the VISA full page ads.

And sorry for all the drama everyone, especially those who came here just to find out if the coupons work and are worth it or not. The answer is yes they work, and yes they are worth your purchase. Ya see, this is what happens when all the stores are shut down and we can't use our coupons due to holiday... we don't know how to act.

PL

HAHA yes me and wraithe have had some epic conversations too... I'm not sure what it is, but some people I just have a love/hate relationship with. Largely me and wraithe's arguments are either silly or we misunderstand what the other person was saying. I honestly have a tremendous amount of respect for wraithe and consider him a friend and ally, but everyone makes mistakes wraithe, even you.

Just logged on a few minutes ago and was confused because I thought maybe I had entered a different thread????  WTF!!!!!

Have been on here for almost a year and yes have seen some debates and disagreements but never have I seen such blatant disrespect not only to Purple Lotus but to all of us who have spent hours upon hours not only spending time being cautious about our shopping in order to protect ourselves and others here on the board.  But have spent equal amount of time helping others here on the board as well as in our own personal lives.  Friends and family in need and this thread and PL's time consuming efforts have made that possible.

Now some unknown person spouts off at the mouth threatening not only our efforts, time, savings and security but blatantly disrespects PL?    My humble opinion we don't need that type of distraction!

It's situations like this that aggravate me to the point that I'm stressed out and don't want to deal with BS on SR anymore... of course it's such a small fraction that I get over it rather quickly and remember all the awesome people here.

I have enough to deal with though, so I'd like for this situation to calm down. I realize none of us could coupon today, and that we are all having withdrawals because of that, but Happy Easter everyone! I had a great day with the fam and I hope you all did too! Got left overs!

Just to give you a taste of what we are talking about I did a simple test run. I took the five largest files in the OC collection and compressed them.

Results:

Original Size: 9.54 MB

Method 1: 7 MB

Method 2: 2.4 MB

Seriously man, I turned 10 megabytes into 2 megabytes!!! :o

I think you can see why this is such a big deal. Method 1 is lossless. Method 2 is lossy but that is completely imperceptible once printed.








Okay okay. I'll stop being anal about file sizes. I know there is more important things to worry about. lol.

I sincerely apologize to anyone in this thread that I may have angered. Never in my life have I seen people so angry at the fact that I gave something away for free. I didn't ask for bit coins, didn't ask for karma, just helping someone else out, HOWEVER, that's not what this thread is about; this thread is about lining the pockets of PL. Don't post coupons here? Why? CIC gonna get you? PL please, you know good god damn well that if the CIC was watching you, they would register a account here and buy your listing. I'm sure them and the multi-million dollars team of lawyers they have could figure it out.

This is my last post in a PL thread, promise. However, if anyone has any questions related to coupons, or the coupon making process, please PM me. I won't charge you for a little friendly advice, this is a community by the way, sharing information is something a community does.

I don't have to keep my mouth shut about coupons. I owe nothing to purple lotus and NOTHING I know about coupons today I learned from him. You guys complain I used a old format template. Did you ever wonder why? its used up, no one would lose anything from that being discovered. and for the 37 people who messaged me and told me how cool my vista gift card was, and how appreciative they were of the free coupons, your welcome. I'm here for those people, not the dude who going to threaten to hold me down and gang rape me because I posted a guacamole and coffee coupon.

I'm out guys.

Glad that's over. Seems like he apologized to everyone but me, which is fine. And coachella, your first message ever to me literally said "Here is the deal Purple Lotus. I can, and will fuck you harder then you thought you ever could be." so don't dare act like you are somehow above me, much less on the same level. Nice observation, this thread is about lining my pockets, and yours, and everyone else's. You didn't come here to help anyone, you came because you yourself are more greedy than anyone. Selling holograms for +$8, giving away free samples on another vendors thread... you're a vendor too, imagine if a weed vendor went on to someone's thread and said, "Hey, PM me for free weed samples (because I'm also a vendor)" I'm glad to see you off my thread.

I can't believe I announced new coupons and no one seemed to bat an eye.

Yes, I do need to improve the size of the files, but I'm unsure about lossless compression... is this something that everyone is going to be able to extract with no issues? If so, then shoot me a message and tell me if you have any suggestions on how to minimize the file sizes. I'd greatly appreciate that.

Also, some NEW content is finished... and HC full page updates are also almost ready for upload. Currently deciding the best way to release the new content, as it's some very impressive stuff and we have seen this get out of hand in the past, just making sure we don't cause complete chaos like we did with the VISA full page ads.

And sorry for all the drama everyone, especially those who came here just to find out if the coupons work and are worth it or not. The answer is yes they work, and yes they are worth your purchase. Ya see, this is what happens when all the stores are shut down and we can't use our coupons due to holiday... we don't know how to act.

PL

HAHA yes me and wraithe have had some epic conversations too... I'm not sure what it is, but some people I just have a love/hate relationship with. Largely me and wraithe's arguments are either silly or we misunderstand what the other person was saying. I honestly have a tremendous amount of respect for wraithe and consider him a friend and ally, but everyone makes mistakes wraithe, even you.

You're completely right PL, and thanks again for all the hard work.  PL is very respectful, I asked him a question about submissions and he simply said if they're good quality he'll add them to the collection. ( I said worthy lol) For someone to just post their own shit on here and then tell others to pm them on the DL to make side bucks off PL's thread is mad disrespectful. Where I'm from you get the spit slapped out your mouth you pull some shit like that. Thanks again PL and fuck the side trackers.

Away for a couple days and come back to see that fuckstick coachella finally is gone. About time. I knew right from the get he was trying to hijack this thread which is a bitch move. Try that shit IRL and you'll be sippin' soup for a few months. Amazing how people act when hidden by a computer.  Selling those holos 4 for $9 plus s&h, what a joke. You can buy them on Amazon. A sheet of 149 costs $11.99 plus s&h. If anyone wants to know the exact link PM me and I'll send it to you. Or look back a few pages where I already posted it.  Hell, just search Amazon, they have tons of different styles.
Anyways, back to what matters. The Crest Mouthwash rang invalid for me today at Target. Anyone else having issues with that coupon? I used it before but this was the first time since the update. Just trying to figure out if it was an idiot cashier or the coupon.

I have PL's blessing ahead of time, just wanted to say that first! If anyone wants the McDonald's coupon which some of you have seen, but new people probably have not, shoot me a PM with a TOR Mail address and I will get it to you. I am not asking for any money, although anyone wanting to send me a tip would be most appreciated! This is not a scan-able coupon as all of PL's coupons are, this is just one you hand to your McDonald's cashier and they will hand you a bag of free food!

I can vouch for this McDonald's coupon. I used it recently and works perfect. Thanks man for sharing this with me

File this under "OH SHIT".

************
So I go to CVS. Get a $25 Visa Gift Card to work! #fuckyes

Wait a week and go back. Try again. Manager is called. Laughs in my face and loudly proclaims "these are all fake". #DAMN

Won't give me the coupon back. #WTF   I don't want to make a scene because I know he wants to call the cops. Decide to leave.

Follows me as I leave the store and writes down my license plate number!!! #OHSHIT
************
I want everyone to know to that I was very polite (the whole time), well dressed, and acted genuinely shocked when he acted this way. When I told him the usual line about "taking surveys" he interrupted me, rolled his eyes and said, "yeah yeah I already know the story"....


Normally I would laugh it off and just not come back to CVS and continue on my way.... but then I visited the CIC website.

Coupon Guy is busted and just now sentenced (February 2013) and now there is a new 100,000 dollar bounty up for certain coupons. Not just that but a lot of lesser coupons have an active bounty of 2,500.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this guy called up the DMV and got my info from my license plate ($35, public domain info) and then followed through with the CIC to try and get a few extra bucks in his pocket.


Now regardless if that particular coupon is on the CIC website or not (it isn't) doesn't really matter to me. Getting extra heat and attention on me does matter though.

What do you guys think of this?

Post by: purplelotus on April 01, 2013, 10:32 pm
I got a bottle of crest mouth wash last week from Target. Sometimes it's just the cashier's mistake and they accidentally apply a different coupon to your bottle of crest so when they go to scan the Crest, it's not there anymore, or sometimes a specific coupon might rarely get blocked out of the system of your local store. Try again if you want to see what the deal is.

Smoked, don't go back to the exact same store with HC coupons a week later. Problem solved.

Stop freaking out. As long as you can hear my voice, no one is coming after you. If I suddenly disappear, well do whatever you want at that point. No one is coming for you.

The rewards offered by CIC aren't for you... read the fine print. You only get the reward up to the amount of 25% of the restitution paid back up to $2,500, which even if I was arrested, would be a grand total of $0. Now you would have caused all but about $50 in damages that could be proven, so then even if they got you, what's 25% of $50?

Take some deep breathes bro, and try not to hit the same store with HC coupons, some would say they wait a long time, but I suggest never hitting the same store twice with HC coupons period. I use the same store for OC coupons only up to twice a month, and rotate stores in between. I've used the same store for OC coupons for over 3 years with this method without ever failing on anything but maybe two coupons that entire span that I can remember and was still allowed to use the rest of my stack.

But the lesson learned is that you can't create a large profile, and HC coupons are a good way to do that, which is why I strike just once and then don't ever present that coupon again. If I pass an HC coupon, I don't have any issues coming back with OC coupons at another point, because at that point it's not my face anyone remembers, it's the VISA giftcard coupon people remember.

It's enough to freak you out, and that's what the HC collection can do, freak you out. So if you aren't ready for that, then just stick to OC coupons and live happily ever after. No one is in danger of being turned in for any reward or otherwise at risk of being in legal trouble. Minus maybe myself.

Also 100% of my coupons were just scrubbed of all important CIC reported data, minus the pictures used which I couldn't decently change them all, without running out of pictures worth using period. And another valid point, CIC does not report coupons above $10, so the particular coupon you are concerned about has no CIC report and no CIC "reward" (This is just a poor attempt to scare you, don't be scared).

PL

@ecstacydude: Yeah it's about time I do a nice set of OC additions. Thanks for the list, I'll be sure to give it ample representation.
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: robotrippin on April 01, 2013, 10:48 pm
Thanks guys, I'll do that. I used about 15 other coupons at the same time and they all scanned fine. I asked the guy to try again and he did, both times no go. Usually when this happens they just push it through since the whole stack worked but this dude was insistent on if it scans yes, if not, no. I actually wish I had better coupons, lol. He was that firm on it.

@Smoked          It sounds like some crazy shit. One of the biggest rules for safety with the HC pack is to wait at least a month before returning and even at that point trying the same exact coupon isn't advised. Now, there is no real safety, just the longer time in between equals better chance. You can do it earlier and it might work, but it's much riskier. One month doesn't mean the slate is clean either, there's always the danger of a dickhead manager like you encountered. I'd like to think if he was gonna call LE he would have then and there. You would have heard from them already or will shortly. If so, deny, deny, deny. You got it off the net and were scammed. Make them prove you didn't. Otherwise it's probably just a bullshit attempt to "scare you straight" and keep you off their property in the meantime.  Lay low with the HC pack for a bit or take it to another town until you figure out what really happened. And fuck the CIC. That buffoon manager probably doesn't even know what the hell it is. Fuck em'.

Smoked, there is a federal statue in America that disallows DMVs to release information about people based on their license plate.  Following you outside is a scare tactic.

And remember the worst that can happen is that you get charged with something and have to hire a lawyer to make up a story for you.  No one is going to jail or getting a record marred because of a $25 coupon.

Good luck and send me postcard from prison,

Terrible advice.. If the police come knocking, do not answer their questions. Ask them what the problem is. Answer their questions with questions of your own. Is there some kind of problem? Are we finished here? Am I free to go? I don't submit to any searches... "Sir, many great men have given their lives to protect my right to be secure in my person and property, I feel it would be a disservice to those men to simply waive that right because you ask me to." If they do not arrest you, ask them to leave. If they do, continue to not speak. Offer your ID and wait for an attorney.  Even if they get mad. So what? It is not your job to please the officer. If they threaten to search your house without permission, make sure to state that they are doing so without your consent. They will have to prove they had reason to search later.. They will lose and you will be fine.. Do not deny deny deny, anything you say can and will be used to make you look foolish and incriminate you.

Holy fuck. You act like they are coming after a bank robber or murderer. Ya, ya, ya, fuck cops. But seriously the chances of it even happening are about 1%. Really think about it. Would you look better or worse in this instance? If they came and asked what you know about a coupon and you said some bullshit about you got it online and must have been scammed also there's a way better chance of them walking away then if you plead the 5th and go on about some lawyer bull shit. You do that and they are gonna leave wondering just what do you have to hide that you need a lawyer to talk about a bull shit coupon that some cock strong manager complained about. Again, seriously, the chance of this even happening is near zero. I get all the fuck the police, don't talk stuff. But if you're not known to the police and have no record them questioning you about some bull shit is more than likely the worst that will happen, unless you act like you have something to hide. Then you leave them pigs wondering what if and that's when there could be trouble.

Finally got around to trying the new VISA $100 coupons this weekend and went 0/3 at a CVS and two Walgreens.  No one even tried scanning them :(.  I didn't give the restaurant cards a try, but for the time being I think I'm just going to stick to the fail proof OC. 

Once I build my confidence back up I'll probably get a nicer printer, paper, and some holograms to make the hardcore ones seem more legitimate.  More importantly, I think it'll give me more confidence in my ability to pass them which really does seem to be the only key to these. 

I forget who it was, but someone mentioned the method the stores use the OC coupons (randomly checking ~1% to get an average price, then just measuring the rest by weight).  THANK YOU!  Info like this and the stuff you (PL) just posted about how the CIC reward system works is invaluable!  This community just keeps getting better!

It's all good, nothing scary at all. Just a small error that led to a dickhead manager acting like a dickhead. The OC is flawless. Don't sweat it. The HC pack is just like PL advertises it, hardcore. You gotta watch with that but as the stakes are raised so are the rewards. The OC works so well, that's why it seems like there's more chatter about the HC pack. Not much to talk about when everything works so well.  Anyways, welcome and enjoy yourself.

Did anyone else ever confirm if the gift card coupons could be used at the self checkout at Walmarts without requiring an employee to override it?  Tonight I picked up a gift card at walmart and took it to self checkout and it did not require any employees to do anything, but I paid for it I did not use a coupon.  I will probably take some with me to some stores that are a bit further out tomorrow to try it.  With the $25 itunes cards I could get 2 at a time through the regular checkout without requiring a CSM to approve it, so if we could go through self-checkout and do the same thing and not need any employees that would be amazing!

Do you people go with a friend who is also using coupons? No offense, but as a cashier/manager alarm bells will be ringing even if not for the same gift card.
CVS around here is pretty small, 1-2 cashiers and if there is self checkout there is always a human cashier to operate it. am I surrounded by idiots or scammers? I wonder LOL
I would love to hear otherwise and get a "2 for 1" in every store I hit, don't worry, not of the same card LOL

Out of 4 Wal-Marts I have nearby, only 1 of them even has self check out. I tried using the Olive Garden GC today and it stopped me and needed the attendant to come over and finish it. It did not require a CSM and the attendant processed it through no problem, but I was unable to do it on my own. Just FYI. I tried the same coupon at a different Wal-Mart at a regular line earlier, and it started doing that old "Scan VS1 Barcode" shit like last summer when they implemented that bullshit policy for a couple weeks. Then it rejected the coupon and the cashier pointed to the sign where the policy states that Wal-Mart does not accept internet coupons for 'free' items. I had never noticed that on the sign before, but it was there sure enough... Hrmph... Anyway, it worked at the other store no problem so... it still depends who and where...

Did anyone else ever confirm if the gift card coupons could be used at the self checkout at Walmarts without requiring an employee to override it?  Tonight I picked up a gift card at walmart and took it to self checkout and it did not require any employees to do anything, but I paid for it I did not use a coupon.  I will probably take some with me to some stores that are a bit further out tomorrow to try it.  With the $25 itunes cards I could get 2 at a time through the regular checkout without requiring a CSM to approve it, so if we could go through self-checkout and do the same thing and not need any employees that would be amazing!

Out of 4 Wal-Marts I have nearby, only 1 of them even has self check out. I tried using the Olive Garden GC today and it stopped me and needed the attendant to come over and finish it. It did not require a CSM and the attendant processed it through no problem, but I was unable to do it on my own. Just FYI. I tried the same coupon at a different Wal-Mart at a regular line earlier, and it started doing that old "Scan VS1 Barcode" shit like last summer when they implemented that bullshit policy for a couple weeks. Then it rejected the coupon and the cashier pointed to the sign where the policy states that Wal-Mart does not accept internet coupons for 'free' items. I had never noticed that on the sign before, but it was there sure enough... Hrmph... Anyway, it worked at the other store no problem so... it still depends who and where...

I agree, it depends on what's in your area. I'm lucky enough to be in an area where self check out is working, up to $50, without a CSM.

File this under "OH SHIT".

************
So I go to CVS. Get a $25 Visa Gift Card to work! #fuckyes

Wait a week and go back. Try again. Manager is called. Laughs in my face and loudly proclaims "these are all fake". #DAMN

Won't give me the coupon back. #WTF   I don't want to make a scene because I know he wants to call the cops. Decide to leave.

Follows me as I leave the store and writes down my license plate number!!! #OHSHIT
************
I want everyone to know to that I was very polite (the whole time), well dressed, and acted genuinely shocked when he acted this way. When I told him the usual line about "taking surveys" he interrupted me, rolled his eyes and said, "yeah yeah I already know the story"....


Normally I would laugh it off and just not come back to CVS and continue on my way.... but then I visited the CIC website.

Coupon Guy is busted and just now sentenced (February 2013) and now there is a new 100,000 dollar bounty up for certain coupons. Not just that but a lot of lesser coupons have an active bounty of 2,500.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this guy called up the DMV and got my info from my license plate ($35, public domain info) and then followed through with the CIC to try and get a few extra bucks in his pocket.


Now regardless if that particular coupon is on the CIC website or not (it isn't) doesn't really matter to me. Getting extra heat and attention on me does matter though.

What do you guys think of this?

Smoked.

you are fine.  I would not worry, I just would not goto any cvs' in that area for a long time.

ive done dumber shit on video and not been arrested sooooo ima say your ok lol

Just wanted to drop in and I haven't been around much finishing some studies etc.   Anyway sorry about the drama but I have much love and respect for your work PL. I think you are compensated fairly and equitably.  You are exceptionally involved for a vendor. My family ***thanks you*** from the bottom of our hearts for keeping us afloat.

On that note if you could do a Almond Milk coupon that would be great for almond breeze company I think?  My kids have celiacs and a dairy issue so I buy so much of this at it's so goddamn expensive.

Also I'd help hold anyone down while you fucked them. erhm. O.o Not like that.

I'm not freaked out. When people panic and start acting paranoid is usually when they get noticed and get caught. It's like some self-fulfilling ironic prophecy. Thanks for all of the advice everyone, a lot of good information came out of this.

BTW, the reason I know you can get information from a license plate is that I've done it! All you do is hire a private detective who can then poll the DMV records. All that is required to get around the national statute is a signed waver with a check mark next to the "acceptable" reasons that you need the information (hit and run, verification for business, etc etc)...

Anyway, I already got a food saver, keurig, beats, etc etc. Guess I'll chill with the OC for a while....

Oh who am I kidding? Time to hit up the self checkout lane.... lol.

What is the highest value coupon you have successfully passed at a Target?
Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on April 02, 2013, 04:38 am
Don't use a coupon over $50 at Target. I've pulled off as high as $250 at Office Depot. If that helps you any, but don't try over $50 at Target, use that one at CVS, Walgreens, KMart, or even Walmart. Don't push you luck at all at Kroger, they are NAZIs.

I'm curious the logic of an internet printed coupon for something that is free.

I can't see how the story of coupon websites/surveys would give you a coupon that can be printed multiple times in a sense for what would be free giftcards(money).

Do people use some sort of different story/approach if someone is curious and questions them?

I am curious still and was planning on ordering the OC, but that still doesn't solve my wondering of how my logic says its crazy to present an internet coupon that could be printed repeadetly for gift cards that are almost like cash.

Now of course the idea of trying to print them on thicker/quality paper with some working to seem like they were something mailed to you seems like an idea.

So how do people pass off the gift card coupons if asked?

.........which works like the K-Cups and HP Ink coupon and it makes it where the UPC does not matter. I think this might be an item which warrants that also.

I've been MIA for a bit, so I seemed to have missed this. So the HP Inks UPCs no longer need to match up? That's pretty awesome.

Random question/scenario: Say you're in a store. You have you plethora of badassery coupons in hand, and a cart over flowing with goods. Hell half of that shit you know you don't even need, but fuck it right. It's practically free. Patiently waiting in line, you notice that one guy in front of you who also has a cart flooding with familiar items. You then notice his gorgeous stack of coupons in hand. He glances back, and notices your coupons and cart full of, again familiar items. Your eyes meet. Not one word is exchanged.....(What would you do?)

You simply give each other the nod.

Seriously, if the situation arises, lets make this a thing?


Ahh me and my randomness. So yeah, glad to be back. See a lot of awesome updates. I really need to get back into the HCs. Maybe tomorrow. Plus what's with all the drama I've been reading on pages 102-103? Yeah I know, I'm that behind. I always do my best to catch up though. I read up on all that, and to be honest all that drama shouldn't be happening. Once it does, don't encourage it. Negativity begets negativity. So far this seems to be a pretty helpful, open, and welcoming community. Let's keep that rep going for us. Granted it's human nature to have disagreements, but there's always a respectful way of going about things.

Back to coupon talk. I haven't really seen anyone mention it on here. As far as the OC set, you definitely want to check out your local grocery chains for BOGO (Buy one get one free) sales. They're fucking awesome, and you can totally rape straight ass each isle you hit. Good thing about is, you're basically doubling your coupon. Orrrrr you can go the route of just buying one of the BOGO items. Good thing about this is with the coupon and the single item, the product usually comes out being free, or just pennies for tax. Just wanted to throw that out there.

On a side note, I went to a club a few weeks ago. Took what I thought was MDMA, which I personally tested, but since it test out similar to MDA. I learned I took MDA. No regrets. Tripped balls. Saw hallucinations like a mother fucking. Best roll ever.

So how much did you "accidentally" take? Oh and if you want an awesome experience, take a shower, drink orange juice, and sniff some vics vapor. Yup. Don't ask, just do.

Hrmm, funny thing... coachella seems to no longer have a forum account?? Maybe he got himself in trouble... Apparently his goal was to hurt me, out of spite, by releasing an item I sell for free. I have no idea what happened and had nothing to do with his disappearance, however I think he overlooked the fact that hurting my business, hurts SilkRoad's business. Essentially, taking money from me is the exact same thing as taking money from SR, because they get a commission off every sale.

That is all speculation, again, I have no clue what really happened. It looks like he is claiming another vendor left him bad feedback, as he accused me of and it was a false accusation. Probably publicly calling out vendors like that with no evidence or proof is also frowned upon.
I'd even go as far as to say that openly naming people who left you any kind of feedback might be out of line.

Just a quandary I'm having, would it be more effective, specifically for the HC coupons, to approach the electronic counter with the attitude of "hi, I was wondering if you guys accept this coupon" and go from there, rather than waiting until they get the item out of the shelf to find out they don't accept it?

I played this one before with good success on the PS Vita. I was looking at the Vita on the shelf, coupon in hand, and waited for the clerk to ask me if I needed help. I then asked which model the coupon was good for. So he looked at it while helping me rather than checking out. I really think it made a difference presenting it at the helping phase rather than the sale phase when they are more apt to decline it..

Post by: MordoandRigs on April 02, 2013, 08:17 pm
Just got back from a mini hardcore run and went 0-3 with three strikeouts on two Visa 25 and one 50. My story I told the cashier each time was that I recently signed up for a new Visa credit card and received this offer(the coupon) via email and that I wasn't sure if it would work (probably one of the reason I failed). Went to CVS first, middle aged asian lady behind the counter who doesn't speak good english and I start feeling good about my chances. I give it to her, tell her the spiel and she looks at it front and back before calling the manager. While we are waiting for the manager she says "I never see dis before".  She then scans it and it works(prompts to enter amount off) while we are still waiting for a manager. Finally a manager comes, asian hands her the coupon and she says we don't take these. 0-1

Next stop to Walgreens, this time I try a 50. I try the same story again, this time to a female cashier around my age. She scans it no problem but calls the manager over. She tells him what I told her, he looks at the coupon then says "No we can't do that." 0-2

Last stop was to another CVS. I grab a 25, match the UPC's and then head to the cashier, a middle aged woman with horrible teeth(think trailer park). Tell her the story, she inspects the coupon saying she's never seen this before and doesn't know if she should take it because it's in black and white (I guess only legitimate coupons come in color?). She calls a manager, and he takes a look saying he's never seen this before so he then calls someone, I assume his superior, to see what to do. While on the phone he tells him there's no bank on the coupon or phone number before getting off and saying that the guy he was talking to is going to call someone to see what to do. While we are waiting, they scan it and it works (enter amount off) before he goes to the back and gets another manager I assume, who I'll call gross fat cunt. Now gross fat cunt looks at the coupon, then goes behind the counter looking for something, saying "There was an e-mail about this". FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. While I am still waiting at the counter with the cashier, gross fat cunt and guy go into the managers office to look at the e-mail. They're taking longer than they should (in my opinion) so rather than wait to hear what I already know I tell the cashier I need to run to my car. I jogged to my car and got the fuck outta there. I came close to getting it but no dice. 0-3

I made sure all the UPC's matched each time(9936) however there was a 7 in front of the 99 if that makes any difference. Now I would say that the big reasons for my failure was printing it out on regular paper in black ink, a weak story, and telling them I didn't know if it would work. I also didn't try to press the issue; when they said no I said okay, didn't ask for the coupon back, and left. Just to let everyone know, the Visa's are probably too hot to use at CVS now that there's an e-mail floating around about them. Feels bad man  :(

Given your AFAIK unique status as the vendor that has virtually consistently saved and/or made thousands of dollars for each of your customers, I have to say your suspension is a travesty, absent some administrative boo-boo or other unintentional error.

A lot of people depend on PL's products to literally feed their families. And I don't mean by hustling some addictive, brain-polluting poison, but rather a direct exchange of your products (coupons) for heavily-discounted or free food and other necessities.

Given the provocative nature of some of the trolls you've had to endure, I would hope that SR management could overlook any untoward comment you may have made to such a troll.

WTF?!!?  I hope it gets straightened out.  This pisses me off.   >:(

I'm sure that you'll be reinstated soon PL, don't sweat it. 

It usually only takes one report to SR for them to automatically suspend the vendor account until they can get around to looking into it--I filed a complaint when some asshole w/a 3 day old vendor account tried to get me to FE (even though I've got 2 years and 60-70 transactions on my buyer account) and they put him on ice within like 12 hours, I was shocked.  He lost his account once they looked into it, but you're legit as fuck so I don't see them shutting you down.

Thanks for the encouragement Dev its nice to hear from you. hope all is well. I'm gonna be fine no matter what happens here. Better to get shut down by SR staff then just about any other involuntary way out. I won't let you guys down. If the ban sticks, I'll release 12/21-30/2013 expiration dates right away for all my current customers and by right away, that takes into account that iI haven't actually done that work yet. I will though, if I'm kicked off SR for whatever the reason may be. I'll keep all my current customers good through New Years 2013. And then I'll disappear.

Let's hope that doesn't happen. still waiting to hear back from SR support. I'm not guilty of any crimes, oh wait this is Silk Road, and we all are... my fault bad choice of words. I'm not guilty of whatever I'm accused of doing this time.

I hope this isn't my fault then cause I accidentally hit some random report vendor button on an unknown profile with my elbow... happened after I jumped up all startled by a loud noise.  They couldn't make it automatic like that!  It would be the ultimate competition killing machine if they did work it that way, I'm sure it takes more than pressing the button.. right?

No actually I don't believe it does. It opens a new tab but that's for extra details. I think the report is already submitted though. At least that's how I remember it; it's been a while since I've done it.

Well no updates yet, but I have promised that no matter what happens I will update the collections to Dec. 2013 for those of you who purchased it.

I think it's rather obvious who is behind this, and honestly I have no clue what he must have said to get SR Support to investigate me, but one thing I'm sure of is it's not true and I should be reinstated if a fair investigation is launched. I also suspect this individual is attacking me with two vendor accounts... which would put me at somewhat of an unfair disadvantage, as two vendors against one is not in my favor, but hopefully it's identified that they actually are one in the same and whatever allegations are made against me are false.

In the event that I lose out in this investigation, which I should not, assuming it's not the coupons that are banned, then I will in all likely hood be looking to hand the entire operation off to another vendor who I think could continue on with my work and maintain the same level of service that everyone is use to. I do have a couple people in mind, but so far my discussions have been respectfully turned down due to how busy respected vendors on here are already. I do think I'll figure it out though if it becomes necessary. I also won't hand over my business to anyone who is not willing to honor the promises I have already made, which would include all previous buyers to continue to receive free updates. If I'm not reinstated and if that is at all possible, then I will likely make that move and at least I get to leave the community on a high note.

I for one would just follow you to one of the other sites like BMR and if I am over there to keep an eye on your stuff I mise well post my goods there also.  Sure I wouldn't be the only small time vendor who did the same.   I fear I may have been the vendor who angered him by giving him only 4 out 5 and saying he was a bit shady.  I noticed he had dug out a customer review thread of my services and posted something there although he has never been  a customer...since removed but I doubt it was nice.

Title: Re: Vendor: PurpleLotus Review Thread - Seller of USA Coupons
Post by: purplelotus on April 03, 2013, 10:26 pm
It's all a fraud... it seems like I've been reported by multiple vendors... (protip: NickMode and coachella are the same person!)

At the moment SR Support only appears to have one side of the story, and it certainly does not look good for my reinstatement. I'm hoping they open there eyes to the entire story after presenting my side, and I'm hoping they make the right choice to either reinstate me, or if they feel I broke the rules, then by all means let's apply the rules across the board and ban all 3 guilty parties. There is no rules I broke (let's be honest, I lose my temper at times) that was not broken by both of those two also, so let's see justice served one way or the other please.

That being said... SR Support is still doing the best they can to get it sorted out, so let's not rush to judgement here.

Free PurpleLotus or Fry NM/Coachella... whatever the outcome, let's see the rules, followed or broken, applied fairly and across the board.

No matter what happens, I'm not going to let my friends down and that's you guys! I'm already making plans on how to keep this thing going, even if it must be in my absence. I'll bow out if my hand is forced and let someone else take the reigns. If another vendor lists my coupons, do not buy them, as you will get stuck when they expire. I plan to break a deal with another vendor where I hand over the templates in a worst case scenario so at least the work can go on. In those negotiations, one thing I will not bend on is free updates for everyone who already purchased it. So, if I find a suitable person and we agree to terms, then I'll announce who has official control. I expect to get a final word from SR Support in the coming days and by then I'll likely have my candidate picked in case it's the bad news.

If any vendor who I have done business with is interested in joining the negotiations, then send me a PM. I may have made a mistake... and for that I apologize to all of you, but I will make it right! In the worst case scenario, hopefully I can find a replacement who is more humble than myself. Try having 1,000 people all tell you that you are the shit, and not let it go to your head. I let my ego get in my own way, that's the truth.

I fucked up... maybe the ban sticks, maybe it doesn't... but let's please see justice served across the board either way.

Fuck me, this is a goddamn outrage.....

How ignorant can they be to ban a great vendor like you? Their feedback/reporting/review system is so fucked it is unrealistic. I don't understand why someone with no fucking purchase history can report a vendor. They shouldn't even have that option.

I know you have made all these promises PL but all this isn't your fault man & there is no need to get down and start these talks of handing your business over. This will all be sorted out & if it is not then I personally do not view Silk Road as reliable or honest at all....

You say that maybe you can pass it off to someone who might do better? This is impossible. I have learned things from you that are irreplaceable by another. Your upkeep and maintaining all this is unsurpassed by what any other could even hope to do...

Idk man, this really has me all twisted around right now. I PM'd you in response to finding another person to pass this off to. Hopefully with a solution if god forbid they do go through with this.

WOW.

I'm trying to find someone to take the reigns and carry on my work, but if I can't do that, then I promise to release December 2013 updates to all of you who purchased from me. No charge, even without a vendor account. You all know how to access them, so just be patient and let me try my hardest.

First of all, I have not been banned, but only suspended while the investigation goes on. My first priority is to do all I can to survive, my second priority is to make sure everyone of you continues to get updates in the future, even if I fail at my first priority for the moment.

Walgreens. I'm assuming it'd be stupid to use this on something that would have a paper trail, yes?
I always steer clear of anything that can leave a paper trail, but I know others aren't as careful.  It is *unlikely* that the fraud would be traced back to you.  Look at the iTunes cards; those NEED to be linked to an individual account to have any worth and they seem to be one of the more popular coupons on here.  Or the Shell gift cards, lots of people love those, but you and your car (more importantly the plate #) is going to be on camera using the card.  Use your own discretion. 

For me, it's not worth the risk, especially when you can just as easily go purchase groceries or something with the VISA and then use real money for anything that could be traced back to you.  Others seem far less paranoid.  And overall, I don't think there is a single person who has run into legal issues using PL's coupons- or at least none that have reported back onto this thread or either of the previous PL review threads.

Yes, DEV I wasn't going to say it myself, but nice observation. He did in fact make a compaign to get me banned and then ripped me off the same day SR Support backed him. He did in fact steal my work, and you can see for yourself.

Thanks bud.

I reported his actions too... SR Support is aware he stole from me. Feel free to let them know again though. They can't simply take my word I'm sure.

Are we really going to sit back and let NM steal all of it with his lies and cheating? I'm not. If I broke a rule, he certainly did too. I have proof, and that's not to mention him stealing my work on the same day SR Support fell for his complaints. The dude didn't even wait 24 hours, and reposted my shit... is that what the SilkRoad is?

**salutes Smoked**

I appreciate your support. The fact is a vendor has conned SR Support and then has completely stolen my work and added 33% of it to his, and then promised more for next month. We can not let this happen. For so many reasons... we must fight back against this fight. All of us.

His only function on SR is to steal other peoples work and resell it on SR. People will get burned when they go to use his BS stolen 4chan coupons and find them to be expired despite what is shown on the coupon.

This is no longer about me being reinstated. This is about protecting SR users and our community, and if we are lucky we can get me back in there and I can be a valid asset to us all. No matter what happens, we cannot allow SR Support to fall for this and let others become the victim. We all have to stand up for what we know to be the truth. If I get banned, that's fine, if NM is allowed to continue with this, then it only shows SR as being a place for liars and thieves. We are better than that.

ha I mentioned it in one of his spam forum posts that only he writes in...have not gotten a response and he started another thread--hmmmm
Yes I saw it and no I did not respond. You know why? Because it is a childish comment. Accusing me of stealing when you have never even seen my product. I do not need, nor want that type of harassment in my thread. I am not sure  if you all are like 15 years old or something, but cant everyone just act like adults? This he did this he did that childish blaming attitude will get you no where in life.

Just let it be. If you do not like me or my product, then let me be. Do not come in my thread making false accusations because you cant function like a normal person.

PL and all you PL fans make me sick, and are a huge disgrace to the SR community.

Job done! Reported ..

Yes, DEV I wasn't going to say it myself, but nice observation. He did in fact make a compaign to get me banned and then ripped me off the same day SR Support backed him. He did in fact steal my work, and you can see for yourself.

Thanks bud.

I reported his actions too... SR Support is aware he stole from me. Feel free to let them know again though. They can't simply take my word I'm sure.

Are we really going to sit back and let NM steal all of it with his lies and cheating? I'm not. If I broke a rule, he certainly did too. I have proof, and that's not to mention him stealing my work on the same day SR Support fell for his complaints. The dude didn't even wait 24 hours, and reposted my shit... is that what the SilkRoad is?

I said.... IS THAT WHAT THE SILK ROAD IS?

********Blatant theft of Vendors services.*********



"Fraudulently attempting to pass off and profit from as if it was his work.
False complaints and fabricated reviews in an attempt to discredit Purple Lotus and steal clients.

On a personal note:  I am personally offended by NickMode(95) as he intentionally attempted to discredit and disrupt a thread that I have put many hours into and spent time developing and working closely with this online community.  To have this disrupted by another vendor on SR seems absurd and he should be removed immediately.

How can we contact SR and show them our support? Strength in numbers right?

BTW, has anyone found a way to quickly get cash off of these VISA cards....preferably but not necessarily anonymously?

I am not sure if this will work with these VISA cards but I have always had luck using self-checkout and buying a inexpensive item and then maxing the cash back.  Most stores will let you add money to your purchase and return the difference in cash.  Some stores have small per transaction limits ($20)  but some let you go as high as $100/transaction.  If the limit per transaction is less than you need just do multiple transactions

The obvious solution if your account doesn't get reinstated is just to start a PurpleLotus2 account, pay the $500 bond and start a new.

This is crazy. All I can say is that SR will most likely lose my business completely if PL gets banned.
I don't understand what he would have done to violate SR's rules, but NM has broken the rules by using another vendor's work and selling it as his own.
I have been on this thread for a while now, and have come to respect PL for his work. I own the OC and HC and was looking to purchasing his guide on coupon making as soon as I could.
Let's all hope that, as PL says, "justice will prevail." I personally would like to see NM's vendor account removed from SR.

A site like SR is always going to come with it's own set of problems, but if the SR Support Staff cannot get things straightened out that should say something major about how much respect we should have for this site.

I stand with PurpleLotus, and feel if he were removed from the community, and huge void would be created. His customer service is outstanding. How many other venders, hell, people in real life, that promise and deliver free updates to a product? Along with more free products? Only a class act does that, and that's PurpleLotus. Silk Road will not be the same if he's forced out, only to let some douche bags shit all over what he's created.

I sent this message to sr support

I am aware that he is on suspension, which is sheer INSANITY.  He may be a bit eccentric, but this guy is a great, standup person.  He has saved me ALONE countless amouns on my grocery bills.  He gives people the ability to pay for diapers, and food, when all the rest of the vendors here are just selling dope.  Yes, I love drugs.  But seriously....TONS of vendors get a bit ego driven at time...and get a bit fiesty in the forums.  PLEASE PLEASE do not ban him, and remove the suspension.  It is ENTIRELY unfair.  Just let himknow what not to do (I have no idea what he did exactly).

BUT it  can NOT be as bad as what MTL John and all his incarnates did.  Selling DANGEROUS product to people that POISON them.  PL is HELPING people.  He just needs to get his egoin check (DON'T 99.9% of the big head vendors need to do this? Anyone "ppopular or in "power on SR gets like this at times, (with the exception of Scout and a few of my fav forum mods  :)  ).

Love,
KitKAT82 a loyal fan, who will lose a TON of faith in DPR and the SR gang iff he is not reinstated.

Please consider that he has TONS of enemies, this is CERTAINLY just a jealous vendor who is not all of them right in the head....he would stop at NOTHING to steal his fan base.  But we are not stupid enough to flock to a pathetic moron who steals coupons from 4chan and PL.

Thanks, kitkat. I have no idea if that will do any good and I'm not encouraging people to do that, because then it might be annoying for SR Support to deal with. I do however appreciate that you would take time out of your day to stand up for me. That means everything. :-)

Post by: VISAHATE on April 04, 2013, 09:50 pm
I have sent an email to support.



"To whom it may concern:

The purpose of this email is to bring to your attention that there seems to be some confusion regarding the vendor PurpleLotus and the recent suspension put on his vendor account. I can only assume the reason for this suspension is because of what has to be "false reporting" or " false claims" of rules being broken.

I have been a member of SR for close to a year and have participated in PurpleLotus thread for nearly the entire time. PurpleLotus has been fair, responsive, willing to go above and beyond, cautious with personal security and safety and above all liked by hundreds of members. His thread has become a true community of sharing of ideas, visions, experiences and opinions. Even when people have had different opinions on subjects the overall theme of the thread has always been focused on productive and rewarding life choices. This thread and PurpleLotus has truly become a virtual family to me, my girlfriend and many many members here on SR. His work has become invaluable to many.

I have never seen PL participate in unfair practices and to the contrary have seen him be more then generous with his time, guidance, knowledge and even his services. I implore you to reconsider this suspension and sincerely hope that you can see the true nature of where these hateful and false accusations are coming from.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider this email and I remain available should you wish to discuss this further."

Tonight will be my last night on SilkRoad. I am retiring and I feel as if I deserve it. I need a break from all this mess and need to just chill out and focus on my career. Most of you know I just graduated... but what you may or may not know is I have a very promising career ahead of me. I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and now is the time for me to bow out and disappear and count my blessings. Everyone of you have been so awesome to me! I made a bunch of promises along this wonderful journey and I don't plan on breaking one of them. I don't plan on letting my work die out. I may be being pushed out of the scene, but my work is not. I might have fallen short for you all, but my work will not. The movement will not stop... they can stop me, but they can't stop what I started on the SilkRoad! Instead, I'm going to have to take a dive on the sword and go live out the rest of my life in success the same way I lived here on the Road.

I want to thank SilkRoad staff and DPR for letting me get as far as I did. You really do an amazing job here. You really believe in the principles you stand on! Some of us, including myself, might think that justice was not served here... but we will never forget the gift you gave to us all. Thank you so much!

After tonight, I will retire, only to answer some messages to advise my customers on what to do next in my own absence. No more forums for me after tonight, after all it is what lead to my demise. I do in fact have one more card to play in this game I started before I bow out. Let's put someone without faults on the throne, let's pick a man who isn't guilty along with me, nickmode, and coachella420, and let's let him carry on the good work I started. Let's crown the new King of Coupons. Someone with more dedication than me, someone who works harder, and who has more self control. I was never the right man for this job. I simply was a visionary, but one who could not see past his own ego. For all the good I did, I didn't do enough. I failed. No worries here though, I'm still going to do great in life and achieve great things. No doubt about it, :-)

Thank God I was only shut down by SilkRoad... this could have ended in handcuffs, just like everyone else who vends on SR risks. I wore a target around my neck since day one, and thank God SR has the best aim around. I truely appreciate everything I was ever allowed to do.

Man, sorry to see you go PL. I'm sure I speak for all of your customers when I say thanks for your dedication and hard work. You provided more than just a product. You backed up that product with excellent service which you really didn't have to do. Could have just said here's your coupons, good luck. I'm sure this isn't the way you wanted it to end, but I wish you the best of luck in your new ventures. Thanks again bud.

Say it ain't so, PL!  I have to respect your reasoning, but you've been a hell of an asset here and I hate to see you go.  But if you're going to go, this is probably one of the best ways to bow out, at the top of the game.  Please let us know if/how we can contact you after tonight.  I was really hoping to grab your coupon making kit  :'(. Any chance that's still a possibility :)?  Interested to read your final post but kind of hope it doesn't come. 

Long live the coupon king!

 I will be in touch anyhow to get those lessons from you so you better keep in contact with me!  I am Sorry to hear you won't be around anymore PL!  Maybe it is for the best cuz I think the CIC is has got itself a huge boner from your current coupons.  Went shopping today at a place where I have never had any issues but there were issues abound as 6 of 9 attempted coupons came up as counterfeit.  What happens now with our lifetime subscriptions?  For me it was a life lived only shortly if its over already though I am sure I've already had a 2000% return on my initial investment.

Props to you for creating these in the first place PL, and good luck in the future.
