MrVietnam's information is perfect.
It's a great deal, now I just need to be able to find 12 packs of them.

edit:
yes, Bill, it was, I was just coming back to edit. The Kellogg's insert was 8/3. I got it confused with the Pop Tarts coupon that is also in RP 8/17 (it's for the vanilla but as stated with the 8/3 version, it should also scan). Sorry. I guess I'm more tired than I thought.

I wonder if the kelloggs was regional. I am holding my 8/3 Red Plum in my hand and there is no Kelloggs insert. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I was never able to get the coupons yesterday. Everytime I tried on both AFC and HCW the images would not appear for the week of 9/13/08 expiration dates.

I hope that is the case. I think it would be crummy of them to take it off because they are losing $.

The coupons are back.

I got twelve of the 12 packs at Target today. I used 12 of the .50 off and 1 of the $1 /2 coups. Got $15 in Target GC's and will get another $10 back from Kelloggs for a net to me of approx. 5 bucks. Thanks OP!

I went to the Target in Eden Prairie, MN yesterday and they had postings up at every register stating that they no longer will take the Target Web Coupons.

In Richmond VA today they had postings at the checkouts but they had two Target web coupons up at the checkout. If you looked close, both were $ off coupons. One was $5 off $20. I asked the clerk if it was those two specific coupons or all Target internet coupons (which wouldn't make sense, why put them on their website?)and she said let's scan one and see? So we scanned one box of Pop Tarts and then a .50 off coupon and it went through no problem.

I think they are targeting specific coupons that are indeed counterfeit. Go back to your Target and see if that's not the case.

agreed
There was a $5 off $20 toy coupon that scanned for anything and apparently someone decided to remove the wording about the toys to make it a plain $5 off $20 order. So Target removed that coupon from their system and sent memos out telling everyone not to take those specific coupons and emails to the people who actually received the original toy coupon.
Memos also went out to stores because of the vyrl/facebook nonsense. I was told at a CVS recently that they stopped taking Internet coupons completely so I asked to see the memo, which specified that ONLY the vyrl coupons are not to be accepted.
So I suggest you ask to see the memo, I would be very surprised if they were no longer taking any Target coupons. It is corporate policy to take them, only the number of identical ones is subject to limitation.


As for which areas got the Kellogg's coupons, look on couponmom.com at the coupon database (requires free sign up). That's the best way I know of to see if a specific area got the coupons.

(Lynchburg) Must be us VA folks. I never got the Kelloggs insert and my paper is very inconsistent. Sometimes I'll even buy an extra paper and it will have different inserts than what I got at home. Quite grustrating!

I took the Target .50 coupons and the Kellogg's coupons. The cashier gave me the card and the Kellogg's coupons came off but she wouldn't let me use the Target coupons. Gave various reasons, but what it boiled down to was both the cahsier and the amanger thought I shouldn't get them for free since they cost Target something. I gave up and took my $7 off and went home with 48 poptarts.

I just bought 36 boxes of these. Used the 50 cent coupons on each of them, I did not have the $1 off 2 coupon, but still a bargain at $.50 a box. I'm keeping only four for myself and donating the rest to the local food bank.

The 50c coupon did not scan at Cottage Grove Target today. The first cashier manually entered the 3 codes for 4 boxes. Additional won't be taken even manually. The second cashier called manager when can't scan, then you know the rest of the story. I left with 4 boxes for 50c.

Little do they know that I spotted their Clearance rack of large Lysol spray with attached small travel can for around $2, and that tomorrow I'm going back with my $2 off MQ and gettiing one for free! Muhahaha...

.
Same thing happened to me today - the cashier pointed it out and wouldn't take the 4 TARGET $.50 coupons stating that there are too many fake coupons out there. SO WHAT - what the hell does Target care - who's going to waste their time making fake 50 cent coupons for pop tarts? Does it matter if it's fake (can't believe irt) or a actual one from their site - it's still 50 cents off a box.I understand this started with possible fake toy coupons but these are only 50 cent coup[ons.

The Target I went to today posted the 2 $5 off $20 coupons stating they no longer accept these 2 coupons due to fraudulence. I bought 4 boxes of Pop Tarts today with 2 $1 off 2 coupons and 4 $.50 off coupons. The TARGET $.50 coupons didn't scan, but the cashier manually entered them. I then used the $5 GC to purchase a bottle of contact lens cleanser and got $0.38 back as change.

Thanks OP, green all the way.

I printed out several Target 50-cent coupons from The Full Cup website and I noticed they printed out not as sharply and clearly as the ones that I printed out last Sunday, so it doesn't surprise me if maybe they didn't scan properly because the bar code might not be printed as crisply as before. I wonder what happened. Hoewever, I will be back to my local Target this morning trying to score another 12 boxes on this great deal.

I still have a few left and like they are a little blurry. That must have been why.

Target store in San Mateo is the worst, they don't take any printed coupon including from their own website. All they said is "I cannot do anything for you." What kind of customers service is that? Target should fire her, why Target hire someone cannot do anything for their customers?
