Commissaries Accept Internet Coupons Once Again!!!!

NEWS RELEASE

Commissaries are again accepting computer-generated Internet coupons
with a couple of requirements to guard against fraud, Defense Commissary Agency officials announced.
This week all 273 commissaries around the world began accepting computer-generated Internet
coupons that meet the following criteria: they must have a bar code that store checkouts can scan and they
cannot be for free product. Photocopied or facsimile-generated coupons remain unacceptable at all
commissaries.
“Internet coupons are a popular medium customers use to save money, so we wanted to work out
a way to provide this service. We’ve analyzed this issue and these requirements should adequately protect
us against fraud while giving our customers the kind of the service they want,” said Scott Simpson,
DeCA’s chief operating officer.
DeCA as well as other grocery retailers had stopped accepting home-printed coupons in
September 2003 as an interim measure while the grocery industry grappled with losses incurred because
of their fraudulent use. Analysts estimated the loss by coupon fraud to be millions of dollars to the
grocery industry, which ultimately costs consumers in the form of raised prices to recoup losses.
Later this month, the agency’s Web site, www.commissaries.com, will re-establish links to
Internet grocery coupon sites for the convenience of commissary shoppers.

I only wish that I was closer to a base so I could shop at the commissary. The closest one to me is over an hour away.
