March 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #175: The Fine Print

Tip of the Week

It is all in the fine print. How many people sign things without reading that small print and find out later they didn’t know what they were actually signing? Get a magnifying glass if you have to, but read the fine print. Always.

Printable coupons usually have some small type at the bottom with rules, restrictions, additional details, etc. Most of the time this is harmless. But sometimes there is information in that section that you might want to know.

You should read everything so you know if the items you want are excluded from a sale or the coupon cannot be combined with other offers. The deal might only be on in-stock items and not on orders. Sometimes you get good news and see that the fine print tells you this coupon can be combined with other coupons and discounts, or that it can be applied to special orders.

But if you don’t know you could end up missing out big on some great deals. Never assume that the information at the bottom of that coupon does not concern you, because it very may well be of great concern to you.
