On Saturday, September 22nd, Halo Top is giving away a FREE pint of its low-carb, low-cal ice cream! Head over to their website to preregister, then remember to return on the 22nd to print your coupon.
A couple of caveats:
- The coupon will only be valid for ONE day. You will need to go to the store to redeem it on 9/22/18.
- Most supermarkets will not accept a printable coupon for a completely free item. (Jewel-Osco, Meijer, Walmart, and Target will not accept this coupon.)
- The only major supermarket in our area (Chicagoland) that will redeem this coupon is Mariano’s (Kroger.) Their coupon policy states that they will accept. CVS/pharmacy also carries Halo Top, and their coupon policy does not exclude free item printables, so they should accept as well.

I’m confused. I signed up for emails but didn’t see anything to pre-register for. Does that mean the coupon will be mailed to us?
Coupon Maven says
Signing up for their emails, if I’m reading this correctly, means you will be able to get the free coupon on the 22nd. I received an email from Halo Top with a button to click on the 22nd to get the coupon.
Judy says
The coupon is available to print now.
Coupon Maven says
Thanks for the reminder! I will bump this up the page as well.
Judy says
Already gone(:

It hit it’s print limit before most people got up today. Nice going Halo Top! Fake news Ice Cream Deal! Boo! They get people all excited over a coupon where 99% of the people won’t be able to print one. Their marketing people need to be FIRED! Another bad customer experience.

know what time it was gone by? (obviously 9:14am or earlier. i saw the sad news at 10:25am after waking. foolishly declined to try at ~5:30am, as didn’t want printer noise to disturb anybody, so dunno its status then.)
“They get people all excited over a coupon where 99% of the people won’t be able to print one”
…and where a good 75% of the people won’t be able to redeem one! a winning combination.
based on the above posts, making a very finite offer available to print 2 HOURS in advance of the 12:01am (EDT) time they kept trumpeting was a bungle.
fortunately, i’ve been getting $2 Halo Top Catalinas from Jewel lately, which Walmart (regular price $3.88) accepts, and there’s a $1.50 Ibotta.

it’s funny to scroll down on HaloTop’s facebook comments. they start off salivating with anticipation, then some are positive, then a bunch of people letting them have it with both barrels!!
apparently, for many people, the webpage KEPT its original “Check back on September 22 12:01am” message even when reloaded MULTIPLE times AFTER midnight. and when they finally got its contents to change, it was replaced with the “Well, that escalated quickly. The free pint offer is no longer available.” message. gone by 12:18am EDT or earlier.
i’d be pissed too, had i been awake then. :P
wonder if a combination of ISP caching (not everybody Ctrl+F5’s to refresh their browser) and a busy website just made the message *appear* to be unchanged after midnight? but still, going live so early was a no-no.

I woke up at 2:30 A.M. this morning and ran to my desktop to print it and it was already gone. I was shocked. I even have a clickable [CLAIM YOUR FREE PINT!] button in my email. I looked at that email before I went to bed last night around 9 P.M. and mine still said come back on the 22nd after 12:01 to print, this is just sad. Luckily I too have been getting $2 Catalinas from Jewel (hubby got a $3 one the other day!) but this was hyped up only to let lots of people down today! We all jumped thru their hoops!
Coupon Maven says
Well, this has been quite the coupon FAIL..! I saw Judy’s message that the coupon was live at 9:09PM Central last night, but I was already in bed watching TV and tired. I SHOULD have clicked “print,” but I went to bed instead.
And then, I woke up to an offer that apparently hit its print limit less than two hours before it was -supposed- to go live on 9/22. I have email from readers at 12:05am saying today’s coupon (Saturday) was already gone on Friday night.
Whoops!

For all of you that are upset about this Halo Top fiasco, please load the Wendy’s app and go get your 50c Frosty plus a FREE 1/2 Fall chicken salad today! My FREE salad coupon loaded early this morning (right after I saw my email icon for my free Halo Top was GONE) and hubby and I both claimed our Wendy’s deal asap today, as promised on the 22nd! It was delicious too! I know it is not Keto or as healthy as the other ice cream….but if you need to have your freebie fix of the day….this is it. I also see the free salad will be available until 9-30 just like the free Dave’s single is! *app coupon says: “ANY” free 1/2 salad, yet the woman taking orders said it is really just the new Fall one. That’s OK too….I will make lemonade out of these lemons we were tossed today!
