Understanding The Terms
There should be fine print on the coupon itself stipulating what you can and cannot use it for. These terms and conditions are usually found on the bottom of the slip near the expiration date.
Some coupons do not have a specific expiration date listed, which means you can use it whenever you like! Certain stores also accept expired coupons if they’re only a few days past their expiration date, but you need to make sure the store’s policy allows it.
You also need to pay attention to what store the coupon is for. You can’t use a Sephora coupon at Ulta Beauty, for instance. Always keep your coupons organized so you don’t end up trying to use an expired coupon (or, worse, one for a different store) at the register.
