My $10 gc from TRU to use after 12/1 has .94 on it. Gotta love this company...

When you call they should be able to look and see if and what it was used on. These were actually good 6 hours after issue if they gave you a promo card not a merchandise credit or GC.

Saddest TRUTH in a long time.  Walked in and saw the manager working that doesn't like the electronic coupons.  Went to the LEGO section and saw over a dozen Dr. Who on the shelf (hit on the QFLL prospects) and that it was now $64.99.  Looking around, TRU has jacked up the prices on many of the sets.  Ecto-1 ($59.99), BBT ($64.99), C3PO ($5.99), Snowman ($10.99), a single T-Rex tracker that was clearly a return ($82.99), and lots of others.  No AT-AT to be found.  No mistaken placement of Hulk polybag out early.  

I don't know if 10% CC stacks with price match, but I have never had a coupon stack with price match.  Walked out empty-handed.

TRUTH Should work with price match, coupons should not. (YMMV). Some folks talk about getting a "price adjustment" instead of a price match, but I suspect this is a slight bending of the rules because even if it's TRU's website it should on paper count as a price match. Depends on how comfortable you are bending some rules or how friendly you are with your local staff/manager.

The electronic coupon thing - a couple of my regional stores were very concerned about "original TRU coupons" the last couple of times I've been in, which they never cared about before - so the corporate memo has apparently gone out. Some stores may care more than others, obviously. But I suspect there will be some changes resellers won't like coming to the wide world of TRU sooner rather than later.

I have one tactic that seems to help in regards to electronic coupons. TRU has a text alert program, where they text goofy sales and such to your cell phone. I always say that the coupons I have were part of the text message enrollment. The managers / checkers that I deal with seem to know that the text alerts exist, but they don't know any of the specifics. I tell them a link was texted to me, and I saved it to my phone. It seems to work for me, but they are VERY laxed and it's probably not even necessary. But maybe give it a try if they are on the fence, and asked where you got it. It's a buyable story.

I wouldn't be surprised if the trouble stacking new coupons was because of this as well.

I stopped in yesterday and Indominus Rex was also marked up to $144.99 and many others.

If it makes you feel any better my TRU is selling Dr. Who set for $70.99

I stopped in yesterday and today-

Dr. Who was regular price yesterday, bumped up to $64.99 today. I was pleased to see yet another Lonely Mountain set today, which I picked up. The 20% and 10% stacked fine. I did not try using the $5 off $25. It worked for me in September, but last month I was told I couldn't combine coupons.

Could anyone please help a non-native English speaking Brickpicker and clarify what "TRUTH" means here? I get "TRU" - but the rest? Thanks!

TRUTHursdays.

On Thursday (and for the holiday shopping season, also Saturdays) people who pay with their Toys R Us Credit card get an additional 10% off their purchase.
