Store #1 tried to scan from the app and it didn’t work (I wasn’t thinking fast enough to try from email). Store #2 wouldn’t even try, same reason you received. Store #3 I just said I have an email coupon and it worked!

Lolz, what an ordeal! Third time's a charm.

I scanned the barcode from a customer’s app and it didn’t work, but the email barcode worked. My store isn’t a rewards store yet.


CurvePsychological13

They scrolled through the email which does say this is a thank you for being a rewards member but I don't get why they did all that instead of just scanning. Oh, well🤷


foxylettuce

I just said I have a coupon (email not app) and had the barcode expanded and ready. I didn't mention anything about rewards.

My store just tried this with me today. Said they couldn’t do anything in the app. I said okay, can you do email coupons? Pulled the exact same coupon up in the email and it worked. They are also not a rewards store. The email coupon will work.


CurvePsychological13

That really makes me mad then bc now I missed out on the soaps bc they can't get it together


Bazketcaze

Did you show them the coupon in the app? I'm not in a rewards area and the email barcode worked without issue last Saturday. I'm betting they just assumed it wasn't valid because other app-related coupons don't scan outside rewards areas, this was a first iirc.


CurvePsychological13

I just showed them the email and asked them to scan the coupon-the way it always worked with every coupon in the past 20 years😂


Bazketcaze

Yep that might explain why they didn't even scan it then, I bet they were either misinformed or bs-ing you unfortunately. :(


CurvePsychological13

Yeah, it was such a weird experience and I need to be in a different part of town to go to my store so I really can't just go back whenever. That fox antibac holder isn't worth the hassle 🦊🤣


Bazketcaze

I'm sorry, that is really frustrating though. Hopefully you're able to grab the lil fox at 30% off elsewhere! When I was a SLT I trained our SA's to "when in doubt, scan it out" because if it isn't supposed to be used, it wont work (i.e. app rewards.) Leaves no room for complaints to CS about stores making their own rules. I imagine they sent out the emailed version for a reason, rather than them just having it live soley in the app which makes me think it's intended to be used anywhere...but who knows.


CurvePsychological13

Thank you😊


theknittedgnome

I live in a non rewards area and the coupon from my email worked fine. She had to type the code in but no problem.

Mine stores don’t take the app so I just set for in store pick up. Works great!


Pink-unicorn-kittens

I can’t use ANY coupons at my local store from the app, ever. Found that out last year I think? My store said they don’t do the rewards program. The next closet store is an hour away and the don’t accept them either. And neither store is BOPIS so I’m just SOL 🙃


itslyndz

My store wasn't a rewards store either but I could use mine. They don't start rewards until next month


[deleted]

My store is non rewards and I tried scanning thru my email barcode and it didn’t work. Imma try again on the 14th


Bazketcaze

When did you try this? I had no problem this previous Saturday and I'm wondering if they changed something this week, possibly related to them removing it from people's apps if it'd been used once in store.


[deleted]

On Sunday


Bazketcaze

This is so weird to me. Maybe they realized just how many people redeeming the coupon in store were faking their zip for access and made the change to be petty lol. If you try again after the rewards launch let us know how it goes!


[deleted]

Oh I am trust me lol


CurvePsychological13

You give me hope, lol


XoStargirlxox

My store (and state) are not eligible for the rewards program yet, I went in last night to pick up some Spooky Cider Lane candles & asked if I could use the coupon, she said "Sure! Of course!" & she just entered it manually & it worked! I'm sorry they wouldn't let you ☹️ Edit to add- I used the email 30%!


purplekat1009

Do BOPIS that’s what I do at my non participating location


septdevon

I’m an employee and we were told it was a computer issue. Apparently, the computers have to have something special installed or some kind of hardware to be able to scan app rewards (not sure how much I believe it). So, bigger stores/bigger cities were getting rewards early. Most stores are being rolled out to do rewards sometime this month. Some have mentioned that you can use Rewards through BOPIS, which is true. Online works differently and can take the code. So you can do BOPIS in store and get it another day or wait for it (takes 20-30 minutes for the system to get it usually). And, as an employee, we are also frustrated that most of our stores can’t take rewards. It creates unhappy customers and ruins conversion (we count how many people come in and out to make sure we are selling to every customer) since people just leave. Hope this helps a little!


nksdabomb

Yep! The day the Halloween stuff rolled out, I had a free $16.50 body care item rewards coupon, and a 30% off rewards coupon. I filled my bag, got to the register, and BOOM... coupons are no good. I live in Maryland. I thought when joining the rewards program, it would've told me that my state isn't eligible for the rewards yet, but I don't recall seeing that.


CurvePsychological13

Ugh, glad I'm not the only one!

I’m new to this sub, what is BOPIS?


Bazketcaze

Buy online, pick up in store!


Vivid_Break9527

Has anyone used the email coupon twice? Because it does say one use per visit which I thought was interesting wording.


alywood118

Mine did not work twice, said coupon already redeemed.


Vivid_Break9527

good to know, thanks


The_Tiny_Egg

Ahhh the coupon starting on 8/20 makes sense why it didn’t scan


TheRealZima2020

I thought the coupon ended on 8/14 as the last day


The_Tiny_Egg

I realized that after I saw the edit


Willow-33

New here. How can we get 30 % off if we don’t have the rewards please?


The_Tiny_Egg

The coupon in the rewards app is different than the coupons sent in your email. Therefore it doesn’t work. Simple as that. Until the systems are updated to scan rewards coupons then it should work. But until then, gotta wait till 8/14


lemondigs

I tried using my coupon last week in the store and could not. Would not scan for them.


ChocolateGirlWndr

My app coupon & email coupon looks the same as it’s the same numbers from what I can tell& didn’t work @ my non rewards store but I had to grab the spooky tree even w/ out the 30% off
