Coupons tips: Bricks - a quick tutorial

I previously mentioned in this post that in many cases, if an online printable coupon is issued through Bricks, you can request to have them mail you a coupon via snail mail instead of printing it online. This comes in very handy for a number of reasons including if you don't want to install the printing software or have printer issues. The coupon arrives pretty quickly, usually within a week or two in my experience. It's really simple to request a mailed coupon, but here are some instructions and screen shots anyway, just because it looks purdy. :p

When you get to a Bricks coupon site, it'll look like this. To request a coupon, simply click on the "Help" link on the lower right hand corner of the screen.

Once you've clicked on the "Help" link, you'll land at a screen that looks like this, or it may generate a new browser window, depending on your browser and settings.

Fill out the form and voila! They will mail you one copy of the coupon, regardless of how many you could've print at home had you printed it. Once you've requested a coupon to be mailed it will not allow you to go back to attempt to print it.

Keep in mind that while Bricks is the only one that allows this option (though they all share the same coupon software) you can only request a coupon if the vendor/merchant allows this feature. Usually they do, but I've ran across at least one that doesn't. If it doesn't you'll get a message informing you.
