Is there limit to number of Catalina's earned?

[Callie40]

Forgive me if this answer is on another thread, couldn't find it. . .

In general, do peopel find a limit to number of Catalinas printed at one time per deal? Meaning, if u get $3 catalina for you next order when you buy $10 worth of stuff, if u buy $20 in one trip, woudl it print $6 worth of catalinas. If you bought $30 worth would you get $9, ect. Or is it 1 per trip, or is there a limit per shopper card? I don't see a limit mentioned on my circular.

Someone else got a $6 catalina in one transacton for doing multiple versions of the deal, so I think my strategy will work today . . .But just wondering if anyone else has found a limit to number of times they can do a Catalina deal, either per trip or per shopper card?

Thnx!

Mine worked. I bought $20 worth of Unilever stuff and got $6 OYNO (I also got another $5 OYNO because I bought the fish sticks). I haven't bought more than that, but I'm only assuming it could go higher.

I did the scott tp, pt, kotex, etc deal last week (? or the week before?) and it printed out 5, but I'm not sure if it would just keep going. Now, I didn't get my cats on an order that I placed on a Wed night (I started to check out BEFORE 11:30, but the girl was the only one there and not only were they unusually busy but the "self check was having problems...so my order didn't get finished until 12:08...new sale week... when I took it to cust svc the next day, the told me only 1 cat deal per transaction......WHAT? I purchased $40 worth of b$10 get $3 OYNO. I would have fought harded had I realized that wasn't true (especially since it wasn't marked with a limit in the ad)......Good luck

It really depends on the specific deal and how it is worded in the ad. Most of the time when the ad says 'Buy $x.xx or more' it is one cat so if you wanted to buy more and get another cat you'd have to do separate orders. However (usually) if it says 'Buy x# of items' you can buy multiples groups and get more than one cat per order. Unilever is the exception to the first rule though - for some reason they will track the $ spent and give you more than one cat or in this case a large sum cat (like $6, $9)
