New Info on Using RR's at Target

When I was checking out at Target today I wanted to use some of my RR's from the Kotex and Nature's Bounty deals going on this week.  The cashier had to call over the front end supervisor to double check if they could be accepted since they had just decided on a new policy for accepting these. 

Here's what they told me:  They can take them IF they scan and they don't have to override the coupon.  So, they tried the Nature's Bounty $5 RR and, although it scanned, they would have to override the coupon to get the register to  acknowledge it so I wasn't allowed to use that one.  Then we tried the Kotex $2.50 RR and those scanned fine and did not require cashier intervention.  

So, I think I have it figured out - the Nature's Bounty $5 RR wouldn't go through because I had NO Nature's Bounty products in my transaction.  The Kotex $2.50 RR did scan because I had 1 package of Kotex liners in my transaction (they were .94 and I used a $1.00 off coupon that I received from a home mailer).  I used 6 - $2.50 Kotex RR's on this transaction and all of them went through on the scan without cashier intervention. 

So, (I am guessing here) if you want to use RR's at Target with no problems or questions from the cashier, make sure you have product in your transaction from the same company that the RR is from.  It doesn't matter the amount, as long as the product is there.
