However, unless the check is expired, the store is usually going to get the immediate reimbursement from Enfamil (the store does not incur any monetary loss).which is why so many people don't have issues using them fraudulently.Īs for coupons and coupon fraud: Coupons are discounts that are given by the store on the good faith that they will be reimbursed by the manufacturer.
That's why the store doesn't need to let you use the check. Using an Enfamil check written to someone else is the same as forging someone else's check.
As far as the store is concerned, the store is not discounting the product - the store is immediately being paid by Enfamil, via electronic transfer, for the amount of the check. The only difference is that these checks can only be used on Enfamil purchases. The processing of these checks is the *exact* same process as when you write a check: the money is deducted from your checking account (or, in this case, from Enfamil's checking account) and the check is sent back to you after it's been cashed (or sent back to Enfamil.) These checks are "legal tender" and are regulated and protected by all the same financial/banking laws as the checks in your checkbook. Just to clarify: These Enfamil checks (or Similac, etc.) are real checks - NOT coupons. If these Enfamil checks turn into a battle every time I shop, I might just abandon the toddler formula. It's bad enough that I use coupons that make checkout a little longer. Just curious if anyone has encountered this as well. I know the checks say that they are void if transferred or sold, but really? They're going to reject it because the name on my preferred card doesn't match with the name on my Enfamil check? I could have not given them my preferred card and paid with cash, so I can't imagine what difference it would make.ĭoes anyone know if grocery stores are cracking down on the use of Enfamil checks when the customer is not specifically named on the check? I suppose I could have asked the store manager at Jewel if they changed their policy, but I had already held up the line for far too long, so I just wanted to get out of the store. At that point, the only way they knew my name was because I used my preferred card.
She said that the problem was due to the fact that my name didn't match up with the name on the check. The store manager had to override the error to give me the discount. Today, I used an Enfamil check at Jewel, and it was rejected.
Sometimes I get an employee who doesn't know how to enter in the discount, but for the most part, I can use them without incident. Some of these checks are in my name, and some are given to me from a friend. I always use Enfamil checks when I am buying toddler formula for my daughter.
