How do I take advantage of a glitch?
The more time you spend asking questions and waiting for a response is less time spent chasing the glitch. So READ the post, reread the post, read prior posts… read the comments and once you think you understand… RUN!
What if a Glitch Doesn’t Work for Me?
I keep trying. Go back and read the post to figure out what happened. Play around with different items, try to get it to work. If you’ve exhausted all efforts, chances are it’s dead.
What NOT to Do!
Stop #ing the store on IG! Last night there were a ton of Couponers posting about the Target glitch and #tagging the store. Some were even tagging the actual store. I scrolled through Target and saw tons of posts about the glitch. Again, companies are NOT dumb. These big companies have people who do nothing but work on social media. Of course, they’ll see the glitch if you tag the store. This is JUST AS BAD as calling the company.
Do not contact the company. Stores are not dumb. When 100+ orders come in under 5 minutes, it’s definitely flagged. When 10 people come in and are getting 12 packs of Bounty for $0.1 they know something is up. However, when someone calls the company to complain because they couldn’t get it to work for her, they now know exactly what is happening. Glitches die faster like this!
Companies have the right to choose whether they honor a glitch
When you partake in a glitch, it’s literally a roll of the dice! A store can decide to honor the glitch or cancel your orders. Either way, remember that you are not entitled to anything! Please don’t be that person who leaves bad reviews or fusses at the manager, because they say no. This is also why you must run when a glitch is posted. The longer you wait, the more stores that find out which means a higher chance of you being turned down.
