I was just wondering when you have a coupon that says something like “some restrictions apply”… at what point do “some restrictions” turn into something else that has to be stated separately on the coupon? For example, I always thought if a purchase was necessary, the coupon must say “with purchase of…” or “purchase necessary”. Is there any case where they can just put “some restrictions apply” and then once you get in there, they tell you you need to buy something or sign a contract? Does that make sense? Is this legal? Thanks!

Hi!! If it is a money off coupon you just present it at the store and get the reduction off retail price, it must be within the date prescribed. In other cases ” restrictions apply” could be employees cannot participate. They do not put purchase
necessary it`s usually the other way round ” purchase not necessary, but sometimes you cannot get the information wthout purchase.
It is confusing but these are the simle facts.
I hope i have been of some help.
Sometimes the restrictions are just too numerous to list. For instance; in a retail store, higher end vendors do not allow the store to include them in coupon deals. Certain pricepoints are usually required. They should be listed to some degree, it is the ethical thing to do, but sometimes they just can’t be.
