I’ve had digital coupons vanish too, usually right when I’m about to check out. It’s frustrating. I wonder if it’s tied to the app updating or if certain offers just have weird timing. Has anyone noticed if using self-checkout vs. cashier makes a difference?

Yeah, I’ve had that happen and it drives me nuts. Feels like the app knows when you’re about to save a few bucks and just pulls the rug out. I don’t think self-checkout vs. cashier makes a difference, at least not for me. The coupons disappear before I even get to the register half the time.
Honestly, I think it’s just bad app design or maybe they yank offers early if too many people use them? Either way, it’s annoying. Points and coupons together is a whole other mess—sometimes it works, sometimes you get that “not eligible” message for no reason. Makes me wonder if they’re hoping we’ll just give up and pay full price. Not gonna lie, I’ve left stuff behind more than once because of this nonsense...
Yeah, I totally get what you mean. I’ve had coupons just disappear from my app too, and it’s always right when I’m about to use them. It’s like the system glitches or maybe they’re just hoping we won’t notice. I’ve also noticed sometimes the points and coupons thing is super random—one day it works, next day it doesn’t, no explanation. Makes me wonder if it’s just a way to limit how much we save. I’ve definitely left stuff behind out of frustration... not worth the hassle sometimes.

I get the frustration, but I’m not totally convinced it’s intentional. Sometimes these apps just have bugs, especially after updates. I’ve seen similar issues with other loyalty programs—usually a technical hiccup rather than a scheme. Still, it’s annoying when you’re ready to check out and things vanish.

I’ve wondered about that too. Last week, I tried stacking my points with a promo code and the app just froze at checkout. Is it really just a bug, or do they set it up so you can’t double dip? I get that tech isn’t perfect, but it always seems to glitch when there’s a good deal on the line. Anyone else notice it only happens with certain offers, or am I just unlucky?
