    People Think Coupon Users Are Cheapskates, Unless You're Hot

    If you use coupons in a store, your fellow shoppers are probably negatively judging you as being cheap, according to a new study. The stigma extends to those around the coupon redeemer as well. However, if you're hot, you get a reprieve. The study had people watch consumers cash coupons, and then interviewed the participants afterward for their reaction. The stigma is lessened if you don't know the person using the coupon, the coupon is of high value, if they're in a different line, and if the coupon-user is a hottie. Researchers proposed that the reason for the coupon-hating is "the modern consumer tends to prize status and luxury over thrift."

    Canon's Rebate Program Is Blurry And Poorly Lit

    Brett has now been the victim of two failed rebate attempts through Canon. They ignored the first one, and rejected the second one with a claim that he can clearly disprove. He's trying again. Unfortunately, it looks like Brett's experience with Canon isn't unique. More »

    Pizza Hut Accuses Customer Of "Making The Coupon Up"

    Pizza Hut called Danielle a liar for trying to redeem a promotional coupon they emailed to her and displayed prominently on their website. In exchange for completing an offer from TrialPay, Danielle should have received two free medium pizzas, one with toppings, plus breadsticks.

    This Subway Is Going To Reject Your Coupon One Way Or Another

    Dale couldn't redeem his "free 6 inch sub" coupon at his local Subway. Was it because of a particularly lazy employee, poor management, or dire financial straits? Maybe it was all three, considering the string of completely unrelated excuses Dale was given over just a few minutes. More »

    Toys"R"Us: You Are Too Young For A Grandparent's Discount

    Sorry 49-year-olds, you aren't valid grandparents according to Toys"R"Us. The toy retailer and validator of family roles told 49-year-old Linda Peters that she wasn't old enough to use a 20% off coupon for grandkid-spoiling grandparents.
    "It's discriminatory," Peters said. "How do you put an age on a grandparent or a mother or a father, for that matter?"
