*What's a “print limit”
Manufacturers put print limits on most printable coupons. The first limit is how many you can print per computer. It's usually 2, but I always check sometimes they allow more than 2. Just push your browsers back button to find out. They also put a limit on the number of coupons released. So when that number has been met the coupon then disappears.
*Can I just photo copy or scan the coupon?
NO! and NO! It's illegal. Read the terms of use you have to check before printing, you'll see they say 1 or 2 per household or person etc. The coupons that come from Coupons.com, Redplum and SmartSource actually have an embedded code in them with your computer's IP address so they can track you if you go crazy with the copier. And, they do track them. When you down load the required coupon printer you make the agreement not to copy the coupons. Here's an article of interest on the subject.

*Is there a secret to getting the High Value coupons before they run out?
Everyone that loves those high value printable's has probably had this frustration! Especially with the growing demand. Coupons.com seems to release theirs very early in the morning (1:00 am). Yes, I hate to admit it, but I am often up and checking. Redplum seems to go with Saturday's, and we do get warning of most of theirs. They also have the lowest print limit, with some of their better coupons not lasting more than the day of release. I haven't figured out SmartSource's schedule yet. But, they do seem to be quite consistent and have long print limits. We do our best to let you know of what's coming. If you miss one don't get frustrated. I've missed out on many myself.
