Free Small Curly Fries. Limit 1 with this coupon at participating Arby's restaurants. Not valid with any other offer, and not transferable. Valid through 3/31/2010.
No more. No less. I tried to get three free small curly fries, but the guy taking my money said I could only get one because the coupon says "Not valid with any other offer."If I had used the curly fry coupon with a different coupon for a different product (say, buy one get one free beef & cheddar) what do you think they would have done then?
Usually coupons will say something like "limit one per visit per customer" if they don't want you to use multiple of the same coupon, but this one simply said "Limit 1 with this coupon." How does that limit how many coupons I can use?
We got two of these coupons in the mail on the same day which we gave away. The others were in the Daily Universe along with other Arby's coupons. The Daily Universe is the free campus newspaper which can be found all over campus including in the bathrooms, left on classroom desks, left on chairs, and left on the floor by students. Why did they send out thousands of these coupons to hungry students without more explicit wording, if they didn't intend to allow use of multiple coupons per person?
I want your opinion.
Here are the different possible meanings I came up with for "Not valid with any other offer"
1. Multiple coupons and/or discounts cannot be taken for the same product (in an attempt to get an even lower price than using just one), but multiple coupons or discounts can be used in the same purchase for different products; e.g. a coupon for 10% off and a coupon for $1.00 off cannot be used for the same gallon of milk, but the 10% off coupon could be used for the gallon of milk, and the $1.00 off coupon could be used for a can of peanuts.
2. Multiple coupons and/or discounts cannot be used in the same purchase; e.g., if a 10% off coupon is used for any item in a purchase, no other coupons can be used in that purchase, period.
Please comment and say which one you think it is. If you think it's number one, how does that apply to my situation with multiple valid coupons, each for one free small curly fry?

If it were to go to court, I'll bet you would win. I say that if they only wanted you to use one coupon it would have said, "Limit one coupon per customer per visit." like everybody else' coupons. What you could do is order one small curly fry, then while waiting for your order go back in line and order another. That way you are only using one offer at a time.
I would just go up and buy one then go in line again and buy another then repeat, or once you have a kid then all three of you go back to back and buy one. Stick it to 'em Em'
