Question for Joe and the ad staff: Those Harbor Freight discount coupons seem to be appearing everywhere. I use them all the time. My question is, do they track the source of the coupon you use? Specifically, does it help my favorite magazine if I cut out the coupon from it, rather than using a similar coupon that may have been published in a lesser, disposable, publication?

Danny,

I'm sure HF tracks those ads, but I'm unsure if they are specific to each publication they run in. Just to be safe--- try to use the GRM ones!

Thanks! Your post was written like a true wordsmith!

They don't track the coupons, the sku #'s are the same across multiple sources. They don't track anything except how many phone numbers the cashier can collect, and how many ITC's and ESP's they sell. So don't be a dick when the cashier asks, because there's someone being a dick to them if they don't.
