Do you have a question about how to coupon at Giant? Here are some of the basics of couponing at Giant.
This Giant FAQ is specifically for GIANT PA or GIANT CARLISE chain. This does not apply to GIANT/Super GIANT, as even though they are under the same umbrella, they have different policies than Giant PA.
Coupons
Does Giant double coupons every day?
Yes! You can see the Giant coupon policy here.
How many coupons does Giant double?
Most Giant stores will double the first like coupon, and the rest will be at face value. So if you have (4) $.50 coupons with the same barcode, the first will double to $1 and the rest will be credited for $.50 each. The Giant coupon policy is here. Note: Some Giants may double more than one like coupon, but this is not part of their official policy.
How many coupons can you use at Giant?
There is no set limit. You can use as many as you like. Note: Some Giants may impose limits by store, but this is not corporate policy.
How many like coupons can I use in one transaction at Giant?

What is Giant’s coupon policy?
I’m glad you asked. The official policy can be found here .
Does Giant accept competitor coupons?
No they do not as stated in the official coupon policy.
Does Giant accept coupons with other store logos on them?
Now you’re getting tricky. That’s not in the official coupon policy. If the coupon has a regular coupon bar code and says “manufacturer coupon,” then probably your store will accept it. But in the end it’s up to your individual store. But, again this YMMV!
Does Giant have ecoupons?
Yes. If you have any ecoupons available to clip, you’ll find them in your weekly Giant email or by clicking through their website while in your Giant account. The coupons are personalized just for you.
Does Giant fully double coupons?
Some do. Some don’t. Check with your individual store. Here’s a list of Giant PA stores and their doubling policies .
Is there a list of Giant stores that fully double coupons?
There sure is. You can find that here . Please note this list was compiled by Readers of FTM, so it may not include your Giant.

The definitely do NOT accept printable FREE coupons, even BOGO Free.

I got a coupon from the Catalina machine with my receipt. How do I know if it is a Giant coupon or a manufacturers coupon?
Usually the Giant coupon will say “store coupon” at the top and a manufacturer coupon will say “manufacturer coupon” at the top. Take a look at this post to determine if it is a manufacturer coupon and this post to determine if it is a store coupon
Can I use a store coupon and a manufacturers coupon together?
Yes!
Instant Savings
Do Giant instant savings deals work on shelf price or sale price?
Always on sale price.
Does my total have to be $x before I use coupons or after I’m done scanning my coupons for the instant savings to come off?
Normally, it works based on your total before manufacturer coupons but after all GIANT store coupons/savings/discounts. We’ve contacted Giant on numerous occasions and have been told that the coupons/savings/discounts stated are all Giant issued coupons/savings/discounts.
There are some Giants that a reported not to work this way. You must test your Giant to see since there are many different register systems, even though they are owned by the same company.
For example:
The instant savings deal is spend $15 get $5 off instantly.
Buy 5 items for $15.00
Use 5 $1.00 off manufacturer coupons
Get $5.00 instant savings
Total is $5.00
If you buy 5 items that equal $15 and use (5) $1 manufacturer coupons, you’ll still get the instant savings and your total will be $5.
Another example:
The instant savings deal is spend $15.00 get $5.00 off instantly.
Buy 5 items for $15.00
Use Giant store coupon $3 off of a $15 purchase
No instant savings come off
You buy 5 items that equal $15 and use 1 store coupon for $3 off a $15 purchase, you will not get the instant savings because the coupon you used will bring you below the $15 minimum requirement. You’ll need to spend another $3 to bring you to the $15 total.
That said, you will want to test it out at your personal Giant to make sure this is how your store is programmed. We recommend taking your order to self-check out and scanning it, then scanning a manufacturer coupon to bring you under the total required, hitting Finish and Pay, and watching to see if the instant savings comes off. If it does, then your store requires you to hit the total before manufacturer coupons. If it doesn’t, then you’ll need to hit the instant savings total AFTER you’ve scanned all coupons.
I never see any gas deals in my ad, only instant savings. Why?
Chances are you don’t have a Giant gas station around you or your Giant just doesn’t participate in the gas points program.
Can I get a rain check for an instant savings deal?
Most likely yes. Since there is no Giant rain check policy, this could be YMMV , but it is always worth a try!
Can I do several instant savings deals in one transaction and get the instant savings for each?
It usually works but always keep track of the amount of savings you should be getting and what your total will be if you do them all in the same transaction. Sometimes instant savings looks like a lump sum (i.e. $5) and sometimes it comes off of each item ($1 off each item). Review your receipts!
What are Giant gas deals and how do I take advantage of them?
Since this is a loaded question, I’ll just refer you to the Giant Gas Deals FAQs.
Rainchecks
Does Giant give rain checks and how do I get one?
Yes. You just have to go to customer service and ask for one! I always find it helpful to have the ad with me and opened up to the item that you would like the rain check for.
How long are Giant rain checks good for?
60 days. If your item is not available within that time frame, take your rain check back to customer service and ask if they’ll issue you a new one.
How do I use a Giant rain check?
Take the items to the register (self-check out or a regular line), present the cashier with your rain check and continue with your transaction. The cashier will take care of the rest. If you need gas points added on, you’ll have to go to customer service once you’ve finished paying and ask them to add the points for you.
Miscellaneous
Does Giant give credit for using a reusable bag?
Not at this time.
Where is the Giant gas station closest to me?
When can I see the Giant coupon match-ups for next week?
We usually have the match-ups posted on Saturday, you can view them here.
For the spend $xx get a coupon to use on your next order promotions, do I have to spend that amount all in one transaction or does Giant track the amount that I spend on my receipt?
You must spend that amount all in one transaction. Giant does not track your purchases for these promotions.

As of recently, their rainchecks no longer expire after 60 days. There is now no expiration date.

We recently had an issue at our local Giant over a Free manufacturers coupon that had been mailed to me not printed at home. The cashier insisted no free items, “EVER!”, then refused to give it back, wrote VOID on it and put it in her drawer! Needless to say we were not very happy, we could have taken it to Walmart or Target and gotten the item free (and gotten the overage at Target), which I guess we should have done in the first place! Management was totally blew us off said he would “check on it”. Pretty sure at that point they just wanted us out of the store.

You forgot to mention that the don’t take coupons over a $5.00 value.
