So, I was looking through the Vons JUST4U digital coupons and initially, I was excited to see the Aquafina coupons since I like sparkling waters.  I was excited until I saw the stipulations, i.e. Save $1 when you buy (1) Aquafina single serve and Bananas.

Whaaaaat???

I understanding wanting your customers to eat healthy and partnering with other brands but it’s almost like bate and switch.

I do not like these coupon offers in which they want to buy X + Y to save a $1.  The point of coupons is to entice customers to try a product by offering a discount.  However, when a company includes in their terms that you must buy X + Y to save a $1, you are not really getting a discount because you need to spend more to get the discount.

In most cases, these types of coupons do not work at the register because there too many varieties of both products to be programmed into the coupon.

Aquafina, stop with the foolery, either give us a discount for the sparkling water or not.
