How To Tell If Your Printed Coupon Is A Copy

 

With the recent reports of so many coupons being copied, learn on how to tell if a coupon is a copy for those getting them from friends, trades or coupon swaps.
Most coupons use the same security features.  For identical coupons:

• PIN# is unique to each print, if you can print two per computer they will both be different
• Offer ID is the same each time
• Barcode UPC is the same each time
• Around the outside of the coupon in small print is the PIN, Offer ID, coupon amount, date and time it was printed.

Always check the time to make sure they are different in cases where the PIN is different as some coupon printers show your Member ID instead of PIN but the time should always be different.
