How Do I Use E- Coupons?

As far as I know, the Kroger family of stores are the only ones that allow you to load coupons onto your shoppers card. Each Website (there are three) allow you to load a limited number of coupons at a time.

Shortcuts allows you to have 50 coupons on your card at a time

Cellfire allows you to have 50 coupons on your card at a time

P&G allows you to have at least 35 coupons on your card at a time(I am still trying to locate the exact number, it let me load all of them last time).


How do you remove a coupon from your card? You cannot just delete them. You will have to use the coupon or wait until it expires before it will be removed.

Can I use an E-coupon with a paper coupon?

I have used them in combination every time I can and never been told it wasn't allowed. Stephanie Nelson (thecouponmom) also says you can combine them on nation television news shows, along with every other blog I have read that deals with deals and couponing. So the simple answer here is YES!

How do I Redeem the E- coupons when shopping?

If you loaded e-coupons to your card before you went shopping you do not need to do anything but purchase the items that correspond to the ecoupons. You will see the e coupon deducted right below the qualify item on your receipt. If your e coupon doesn't come off at the register, double check that you did in fact buy the right item. If you did, use the contact form on the e coupon sites to let them know what happened. They will issue a credit to your card that will come off next time you make a purchase using your shopper's card.

If you have a Upromise account you can now load e-coupons to that account. Every time you purchase an item you have a coupon for you get that amount put into your Upromiseaccount for college, along with the normal percent you would get for buying the item. You will not get the value of the coupon off your order.

Upromise puts out new e coupons once a month(at the beginning). The great thing about these is you can add every single e-coupon, they have no limit! Upromise coupons can be redeemed at any grocery store if you have the Upromise credit card, otherwise any store that has a shoppers card that you registered with them(in my area Meijer, Kroger, CVS, Marsh).

All e-coupons can only be used once, just like paper coupons.

When I go to Kroger and have e-coupons loaded onto my Kroger card, how do I use them. Do they automatically work at checkout if they are on my card and I have that item? And you said I can use a paper coupon with it as well? How do I know my e-coupon was used while standing in the checkout lane?

Sorry Anon! I didn't see your question until today. I have updated the original post to answered your questions.
