I enjoy this forum, as a matter of fact I'm getting ready to post yet another good deal right after this post. However, everytime I see a coupon code deleted off the forum it boils my blood. It wouldn't piss me off so much except I can go to 50 other sites that have the exact same information listed, FatWallet in particular.
I can see erring on the said of safe, but I have yet to hear of anyone actually getting sued for posting a coupon code. Has never happened and frankly, I don't believe it ever will.
These corporations like to advertise deals they really don't want to offer (Try getting some of the best deals at Staples even a few hours after the Sunday flyer is released. They are virtually always OOS and the truck that is promised to deliver more never seems to arrive in time).
Instead of upgrading to an E-commerce system which could properly allow the selective application of coupons they would rather sit around and rub their firesticks together, threatening the free exchange of information.
Here is a good example. As we all know, Staples must be hurting. The have castrated their Rewards program and getting a decent coupon lately has been like a 20-year married guy getting some squirrel, few and far between. When they advertised the $15 off $75 coupons on MSN recently I personally printed 50. Of those I have used over 20 now. Had the coupons not been available, instead of selling me over $1500 worth of merchandize they would have sold me maybe $150 or less in the same time frame. Coupons are the only thing that makes Staples prices competitive with other online retailers.
