The biggest and most notable changes:
– Jewel-Osco does not accept ANY coupons issued by another retailer. (This means Catalinas from other stores will no longer be accepted.)
– Coupons with the verbiage “Redeemable only at” or “Redeemable at…” [Competitor name]: CANNOT be redeemed at Jewel-Osco. (Yes, I’m thinking of the many Coupons.com printables that state “Redeemable at Walmart.”
– For all coupons, follow limitations on quantities or the number of purchases per customer.
Interestingly, Jewel-Osco hosts Coupons.com coupons on its own website, and some of those printable coupons state “Reedemable at Walmart” on them. With the policy change, Jewel may find itself hosting printable offers on its own site that shoppers cannot redeem at Jewel.

Hi- Somebody that shall remain nameless posted on MUM that manufacturers coupons that say good at will still be accepted. She says that it is only store coupons and catalina coupons that say good at that will not be accepted. I wonder if this applies to free coupons too? There new policy now says that they cannot accept any free coupons that were printed off the internet, or any internet coupons with a value of over $5. I just checked Jewel’s facebook page to see if anybody had asked those questions, and there were no comments about the new coupon policy on Facebook.
