In all fairness to the FW community, there is a good deal of debate on deal boards (where this originated and others) regarding the ability to use this coupon.
with that said, if there is some sort of limit per bar code on the op link, it might be rejected. so if you're going to TRU anyway, worth a try, but you might wish to wait til others report back before wasting a trip if it's a no go.
for those wondering.... all of the coupon codes are actually the same AND it states in the fine print that one coupon is allowed per guest. Plus, look in the upper right of this coupon link and you will see that you have the option to “Share With a Friend”. coupon is definitely meant to be shared.

Not sure whether you noticed, when you click on share with a friend, it gives a yahoo email embedded in it. and once you give your friends email, you get a message that sharing is limited to 10 persons.
tried it at my store but when the cashier scanned the coupon, it showed that the coupon "has already been used". oh wells...thanks for posting this anyways.

Did anyone actually try using that "forward to a friend" link? When you do so, it says it can only be forwarded to 10 people, and the friend never receives the email. This is clearly intended to be a limited redemption coupon.
anyone tried and worked in nothern virginia stores?

I tried it, coupon did not work. It said that it had already been used. I ended up paying for it, couldn't disappointmy son with the train already in his hand. Luckily i printed up the 35% off coupon and that worked.

haha.. I can understand your disbelief, but this coupon is a promotional coupon only good for the chuggington train Toys. You can print it up in the same link in the OP.

Didn't work in FL, but the manager over-rode it anyway. YMMV

Silly that people are putting the states. It doesn't matter if you are in LA, California or Lincoln, NE....if it's a one time or limited use coupon, it's in the stores national system...it won't work no matter where a person lives.

the fine print on the coupon condradicts the one time use thing. says "limit one coupon per guest", and that's why some people are having success with overrides.

That has nothing to do with coupon...just lenient managers. All one-time use coupons say this (one per person/house/visit)...and almost all will show "already redeemed" if someone tries to use it more than once.

lol..you truly make me laugh sometimes, MC.
Your basis to having it work has nothing to do with the coupon..but a random override due to "customer satisfaction". This would apply to any coupon/discount/promo/etc in any store, in any state, anytime of the day.

not really.
a) obviously you have to have the physical coupon
b) the same arguement could be made at Staples for a coupon that's "beeping"...we see overrides there all the time
c) it's clear it's YMMV, noone is being promised a train. But some people are lucking out, so worst that happens is, they say "no go". But others get a free train and go woo woo choo choo all the way home!
d) glad I make you laugh, some of your comments crack me up as well!

It worked for me in Sunnyvale, CA ... Even i bought an Dragons Universe item and because they told me same thing - it was already used, but they will honor it, i got both for a penny each )) Sweet and unexpected
