The key to stores that have a rewards program is to scan your coupons FIRST, then give them your rewards card. Without doing so, they may not accept the coupons or they may reduce them significantly. Remember, the rewards program is the stres discount, not the manufacturers, so there is no real conflict with the coupons.
