Re: Meijer shoppers

  • I have, they're great, but now i get text all the time from Mperks.  It's super annoying...

    I use the Kroger e-coupons a lot more then Mperks.

  • you know you can opt out of texts right?

    I just got another '$5 off your purchase' coupon from mperks =)

    image

  • is it similar to a kroger card where you can preload coupons onto your card??

    I have been boycotting Meijer for some time now.  The one by me sucks (on Hall Rd) & I've been disappointed more then once with them. My last trip, I went there once for milk, bread & apples because I happen to be passing by.  They had no gallons of skim milk (it wasn't on sale either), all the cheap bread(meijer brand) was sold out & the apples looked like crap.  I was so annoyed when I left.

  • You go online and "clip" coupons.  Then at the check out you just enter your phone number on the credit card keypad and it automatically uses the coupons.  The part I like is that they are store coupons so you can use them with a manuf. coupon.  Plus a lot of the time they are coupons are for things you normally don't see... some veggies, fruit, clothing, bulk items etc.

    I like the Meijer by me.  I don't shop at Kroger unless I have to because everything I buy there is more expensive, I swear.  To each their own.

    The truly sad thing about this is that I attempted to sign up online and it said that you needed texting enabled.  Since I'm about the only person (besides DH) on the face of the planet that doesn't have texting, I was not able to join.

    Stupid.

  • Yes and I love it! I was there on Sunday and between mperks and coupons from the paper I saved $29.75, I was way to excited!
  • I freaking LOVE mperks!  DH was clueless until Sunday when we went grocery shopping together.  He was like "how did we just save more $?!  what did you do?!"  He cracks me up :)

    Really?  That is weird.  At the end of every text message it says "to opt out.... blah blah blah".  I know they send you a text with your auth code to finish registering.

    I don't really care because I get free texts and they don't send that many.

    Thanks Shelly!! Seriously I would be so clueless sometimes without this board.

  • I need to crawl out from under my rock. I shop at Meijer all the time and had no idea mperks even existed.

  • I had no idea either. Thanks Shelly!

    I think that was why I couldn't do it.  There was no other way to finish the registration process.  I probably could have figured out a way around it, but it irritated me and I logged off. lol

  • I would like a 5% finders fee on all future savings haha

    you're welcome everyone.  I think the program is pretty new (couple months?), I only signed up a couple weeks ago.

  • I hate the hall rd location, but it is less than 2 minutes from my house.

    Do you have to wait to get a text before you can opt out of texts.

    And then how to you mperks when you are checking out?

    The one on Cass and Groesbeck is nice.  However if you ever don't want to use the self scans, and there is not a register open, just ask them to open one for you.  I had to have a discussion with the manager there and explained that if I wanted to scan and bag my own groceries all the time, I would work there.  I don't mind when I have a few things using the self scan, but there were a couple times where I had a lot of groceries, and it literally took me 30+ minutes to scan and bag all of my stuff.  This was at 11 o'clock at night while the workers stood around and watched me. Oh, I was not happy. 

    I just signed up for the mperks! Thanks Shelly!

    I haven't tried to opt out, but I would say yes you have to get a text to "confirm" your membership.

    And again, when you get to the checkout there is a little button on the credit card scan thing that says 'mperks' you touch that before paying and enter your id number (phone number)

  • Love Mperks!  I'm jealous you got a $5 off coupon.  Mine was only $2. 
  • I sent DH shopping last night and had to explain to him how to use it.  His answer was I don't know your phone number.  So instead of telling him to look it up in his phone I wrote it down for him on the grocery list.

  • thanks for the info, I didn't know about it....

    If I use Meijer it's the one in Wixom or the one by my church, I avoid the Meijer (and Target) at 8/Haggerty like the plaque!

    Rityz-don't worry, i have another girlfriend who doesn't have texting so you & DH have some company!
