Some people on ebay are selling coupons and a site to decode coupons..???

I emailed and asked one lady and she says......

Hi Tammy. Thank you for asking. The decoder is an awesome website that I found that tells you other products you may possibly use a particular coupon for. After registering (this is free) you can enter any bar code and if it is listed in their data base it will come up and tell you what it can be used for. For example, I have used the $7.00 crest whitestrips coupon on Tide at Stop N Shop here in NY. It doesn't always work at every store, but the forums give you tons of tips & advice on the how's and where's and all that. I hope this has answered your question. Thanks, Monica

Boy Howdy, this sounds illegal to me.

I agree with Debbie, it sounds fishy to me.

I agree, using a whitestrip coupon for tide can't be legal, and it certainly isn't right. Jmho.

I wasn't going to do what she did. I just wanted to know if anyone else had heard of this...

I don't know about cashiers where anyone else is,but here,they look over the coupon and if they think you didn't get the item,they'll look thru your bags to make sure!!

I saw a decoder site once. Here's how it worked: most coupons have 2 sets of bar codes with numbers underneath. You entered the numbers and the decoder would tell you how many different products from that manufacter would be valid with that particular coupon. For instance, I entered the numbers on the coupon for a coca-cola product. The decoder said I could purchase other coke products with that coupon, like Minute Maid products and Dasani water. I hope I explained that well enough.
