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.

Bricks coupon follow up

Remember my post about requesting coupons instead of printing them from Bricks?  Welllllll, I just learned that that's not entirely true. You can't always do that with Bricks.  You see, I was trying to request a $2/2 Nivea Lip Care coupon and behold, it's from Bricks. I did my little trick and it didn't give me the option to request a coupon to be mailed to me. Here's why as explained by Bricks:


I am unable to install the Coupon Printer. Can you e-mail me the coupon?

Some of our clients have chosen to offer postal mailing of coupons. If the coupon you are trying to print has this option, you would have been presented with a form to enter your postal address. If you did not see this option, we are not able to send the coupon to you via postal or electronic mail. 


So there you have it.  They can only send it to you if the vendor is willing to allow it.  It's still worth a try though.

Coupon tips - Bricks

I usually don't like installing things on my computers, including coupon printing software that most couponing sites requires you to install before printing their coupons. I understand why they require it, but it doesn't mean I like it and I try to avoid it if at all possible.  However, last week, while trying to figure out the print settings on my computer to print out some Off! coupons I figured out a trick.  Off! uses the Bricks coupon printer.  I had the printer page idling in the background while I was troubleshooting my printer, which took all too long.  After a while, it figured out that I was having trouble printing so it offered to send me the coupons via snail mail instead.  Well, sweetness!  I'm fine with that. I don't need them right now, plus I save on ink, paper, and the trouble of installing the software.  Hook me up!  I requested the coupons to be mailed to me and was done with it. It'd solved my problem.  Now keep in mind, as far as I know, the mailing option is only available to online coupons via Bricks.  I discovered that by accident. However, according to Couponing to Disney you can manually request Bricks to send you the coupon by clicking on the "Help" link.
