At Catalina Consumer Support,
we take consumer concerns seriously, and we have conducted a thorough
investigation into this matter. The consumer provided
supporting receipts that qualified them for fulfillment of 2 promotions:
Colgate Buy 2 Get $5 AND Oral B Buy 2 Get $3.Catalina Consumer Support can
confirm that the consumer's fulfillment was indeed mailed out (for tickets
5258877 & 5283701, Fulfilled 4/10/25, Mailed Out 4/11/25) and sent to the
address provided by the consumer.
Catalina Consumer Support
understands the frustration that arises from not receiving expected mail, and
we sympathize with the consumer's situation. However, issues with the
postal service delivery, loss / damage in transit, (etc.) are beyond Catalina
Consumer Support's control.
We
encourage all consumers to review our Consumer Fulfillment Policy and FAQ
(support.catalina.com) to understand the expectations for the fulfillment
process. The support.catalina.com website has this available directly at the
top of the web request form for all printed coupon requests.
Catalina Consumer Support
strives to treat all consumers equally by adhering to the fulfillment policy/
FAQ. Therefore, we are unable to reprocess the fulfillment as no error was made
prior to its dispatch. Catalina Consumer Support extends an invitation to the
consumer to submit fulfillment requests for new transactions in the future if
fulfillment is needed again at support.catalina.com.Customer Answer

While Catalina Consumer Support understands this may not be the outcome the consumer was hoping for, Catalina Consumer Support has thoroughly reviewed this matter, both at the time of the original fulfillment request and again during the responses to the BBB complaint. As outlined in the fulfillment FAQ and policy, Catalina Consumer Support sends fulfillment coupons using USPS standard mail, tracking is not possible with standard mail and delivery is beyond the scope of support and control.

Catalina Consumer Support has not been made aware of any widespread or irregular issues impacting the functionality of the fulfillment website as described in the complaint.Catalina Consumer Support has received an average volume of fulfillment requests and has not observed a significant decline or disruption that would suggest a systemic issue.
In response to this complaint, Catalina Consumer Support conducted multiple tests of the fulfillment website across a variety of browsers and device types. During this testing, the concern described (such as page freezing or an inability to submit due to website errors) could not be replicated. The website functioned as expected, with successful navigation and submission throughout the process.
While Catalina Consumer Support recognizes that technology is not always perfect, when testing does not validate a reported issue and no widespread pattern is present, it is necessary to consider other contributing factors. These may include:
The consumer accessing an incorrect or outdated web page (correct URL= **********************************)
Unexpected disturbances in internet connectivity
Browser-specific issues or local device interference
These are circumstances that fall outside the scope of direct support for Catalina Consumer Support services.
Catalina Consumer Support is happy to offer further assistance by walking the consumer through the webform process for any new fulfillment request. However, Catalina Consumer Support is unable to submit requests on behalf of consumers, as the form requires the consumer to upload receipt attachments that Catalina Consumer Support cannot receive or process via alternative channels.
Catalina Consumer Support remains committed to ensuring a smooth and fair process for all users and appreciates this opportunity to address this concern.

On 1/28/25, I purchased 3 qualifying puffs, charmin, or bounty products and was suppose to receive a $3 register reward at *********. The Catalina machine wasnt working so a $3 register reward didnt print. The cashier told me to contact Catalina about it. I did as instructed and filled out the form with the receipt on 1/28/25 through the Catalina site. On 1/31/25, I received a very automated response saying my claim was denied. They gave me many reasons for why it was denied without specifying one it was. I messaged back asking for clarification on exactly which conditions were met. No one responded. This company is pretty much a scam. Theres no way to contact anyone and all responses are automated.Business Response

Catalina Consumer Support appreciates the opportunity to address the complaint filed by the consumer regarding the denial of their fulfillment request. At Catalina Consumer Support, we take all consumer concerns seriously, and we have thoroughly investigated the matter.
We can confirm that the consumer's fulfillment request (Ticket# ********; Bounty, Charmin, Puffs Buy 3 Get $3) was denied because the shelf promotion captured was not a Catalina offer, which prevented us from providing fulfillment. While we understand the store associate mistakenly directed the consumer to contact Catalina Consumer Support, unfortunately, we were unable to assist as we were not involved in the campaign and therefore did not have access to provide fulfillment. The denial emails are automated once it is verified fulfillment cannot be provided to ensure that all consumer fulfillment requests are addressed as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, Catalina Consumer Support will continue to collaborate with the store to address any printer issues and ensure that qualified Catalina prints are generated at that register with the help of the store personnel. We appreciate the consumer's feedback and for reporting their store experience.
Catalina Consumer Support invites the consumer to submit future fulfillment requests for new transactions, should they require assistance again. Fulfillment will be provided with proof of a qualifying purchase if the promotion is associated with Catalina and all fulfillment guidelines are met.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22925089
I am rejecting this response because:This was a promotion offered by Catalina. All register rewards are Catalina offers including this PG promotion.
Business Response
Date: 02/18/2025
After thoroughly reviewing the situation with our sales team on 3 separate occasions, we can confirm that there was never a promotion for "Bounty, Charmin,or Puffs Buy 3 Get $3" for the target market in question. Catalina does not provide shelf tags for individual stores to display in their stores, therefore we can only conclude that the shelf tags shown in the photos provided by the consumer were received in error for this store.
Catalina does set up the programs with the approval of the retailer and only prints coupons based on the specifications provided by the retailers and/or manufacturers. As such, Catalina Consumer Support does not have access to fulfill promotions that Catalina is not directly involved in and/or that are not approved for the target market in question.
While Catalina Consumer Support understands this may not be the outcome the consumer was hoping for, we have conducted a thorough review of the situation, both when the fulfillment request was initially made and again 2 more times responding to the BBB complaint filed. Catalina Consumer Support is unable to offer any further support regarding this matter, as no formal fulfillment for the specified offer exists for the consumers market.

I had filed a coupon fulfillment request on support.catalina.com for $3 for buying whole blends products and was given ticket # *******.
This request was fulfilled on 1/16/25.
On 1/25 I checked my mail and I had received the register reward but it expired the day before on 1/24.
On 1/26 I called Catalina to report the issue of receiving an expired register reward & I was given a new ticket # of ********.
I advised them I have an email from USPS showing that this Catalina was delivered on 1/25 (see attached email). I told them that when opening the letter the register reward expired on 1/24 (see photo of expired Catalina, register reward, and letter).
Martin Luther King day was 1/20 and there was NO mail as this is a holiday.
I am requesting a replacement register reward as the one received had expired in transit.
As a customer I have NO control over the mail or when items will arrive. I have provided documentation showing the piece of mail was delivered on 1/25 and that the coupon already expired on 1/24.Business Response

Catalina Consumer Support
takes consumer concerns seriously, and we have conducted a thorough investigation into
this matter.
While Catalina Consumer
Support sympathizes with the situation, our research verifies that sufficient time was allotted for mailing, and it
is beyond Catalina Consumer Supports control how long it takes for the post
office to deliver and/or for the consumer to acknowledge delivery of the
fulfillment. Per the attachments the consumer provided, the date of 1/16/25 on
the letterhead matches the metered postage date further validating the pass off
date to the post office.
As per Catalina consumer
fulfillment policy and FAQ, we are unable to process
re-fulfillment for this request. Should fulfillment be needed in the future for
a different transaction, Catalina Consumer Support will continue to do our best
to assist with any valid request.
If the consumer has any
additional questions related to this or would like to know how to contact
Catalina Consumer Support for future fulfillment requests (if needed), please

I have unsuccessfully attempted to contact Catalina regarding a coupon support request made on August 10, 2024, for a coupon that did not print at my local Walgreens.I expected to receive a Register Rewards coupon for $2 off a future purchase by buying 2 participating ********* products on August 9, 2024, as described in ********* weekly advertisement and labeled on shelf tags at my local store. After I did not receive the coupon at the store, I submitted a Personalized Printed Coupon Support form, accompanied by my store receipt and snapshots of the advertisement and in-store shelf tag, via Catalinas website.Catalina answered by e-mail on August 10 by stating that my request had been assigned to the Service Desk Team. On August 19, I inquired about the status of my request, but have not received a reply.I have attached images of my submission to Catalina and a copy of the e-mail messages described above. Please note that the in-store shelf tag contains a UPC code matching that listed on my receipt and clearly shows the product qualifies for the Register Rewards offer. I request BBBs assistance in getting a response from Catalina Marketing and obtaining the $2 Register Rewards coupon.Business Response

Complaint: 22307408
I am rejecting this response because I am seeking clarification for the following:I made 2 requests at about the same time for coupons that did not print at my local Walgreens:
* $5 for purchasing 4 Charmin products (#(Ref:IN:04821188))
* $2 for purchasing 2 Palmolive products (#(Ref:IN:04821190))
I received a message on 8-14-24 at 11:56 PM PDT that Ticket 04821188 had been closed, and I indeed received the associated coupon on 8-20-24.
I did not receive such a closure message for Ticket 04821190, which is why I sent a follow-up message to Catalina on 8-19-24, as documented in my submission to BBB. Catalina’s response stated that the coupon associated with Ticket 04821190 had been mailed out and the ticket was closed. As of 10-1-24, I had not received the coupon. However, I did receive a closure message for Ticket 04821190 at 11:58 PM on 10-1-24, 7 days after Catalina’s response.
In light of the above, I would like a response from Catalina to the following:
* Was the $2 coupon intended to be sent in the same envelope as the $5 coupon, and somehow was not enclosed?
* Does the recent closure message for Ticket 04821190 indicate that the $2 coupon has just been sent out?
Sincerely,
Cyril MehtaBusiness Response
Date: 10/04/2024
Catalina Consumer Support
thanks the consumer for the clarification request and apologizes for any confusion
caused by our initial response.
Regarding tickets 04821190
and 04821188, both were received on the same day. However, for ticket 04821190,
the promotion had already ended by the time the fulfillment webform request was
received, preventing printing fulfillment for that specific promotion. To
address this, Catalina Consumer Support placed the request on hold while we
anticipated a similar promotion becoming available as a substitute.
Unfortunately, that was delayed.
Catalina Consumer Support has
since identified the Colgate Ajax and Palmolive Buy 2, Get $3 promotion, which
began on 09/29/2024. This is why ticket 04821190 wasn’t submitted for
fulfillment until 10/01/2024 and is currently being processed.
Catalina Consumer Support is
pleased that the consumer has already received one of the fulfillments and
hopes the consumer is happy to learn that she will receive a $3 reward instead
of a $2 reward due to the substituted promotion that is being used.

Catalina Consumer Support has thoroughly investigated the matter and found the following.
The consumer completed an online marketing form that is not linked to the Catalina Consumer Support team,which initially delayed Catalina Consumer Support's response as our staff worked to identify the appropriate department to handle the request. However,Catalina Consumer Support did eventually receive the consumer's message and promptly responded via email on the same day (Friday, 6/28/24). Catalina Consumer Support took the necessary time to thoroughly review and research the request, and subsequently provided the following response to the consumer (per ticket #********):

On March 16, 2024, I purchased Nexus and **** Moisture Conditioners costing in excess of $30 and was supposed to receive a rebate /coupon in the amount of $10 at checkout. Catalinas printing machine was not working, and thus, I did not receive the $10 coupon. I immediately followed the instructions on Catalinas website for remedying their failure to perform (after I accepted the offer by purchasing the required products). I got a response email. I was then told that I should receive the coupon via US mail within 10 business days. I still have not received anything from them. They have told me on several occasions to just wait a little longer. On April 10, I received an email saying that the ********************** would be sending a replacement coupon within 2 business days, and that, once mailed, I should receive it within 10 business days. I have called since, and was just informed via email that my request for the $10 coupon I was supposed to receive on March 16 has been denied because they do not have a mechanism to verify usage status of fulfillments once they have been dispatched. They never sent me the coupon in the first place and I would think that if they had and I had used it, they would know!Business Response

The consumer has submitted fulfillment requests recently in March to the Catalina Consumer Support website, currently having three tickets pending processing for fulfillment (********, ********, 04477347).
Due to the limited information provided in this complaint,Catalina Consumer Support is unable to determine if the consumer is complaining about a retailer store customer experience or if they are under the impression that Catalina Consumer Support is not working on the fulfillment requests that they submitted via the Catalina Consumer Fulfillment website.
We kindly request that the consumer reach out to the store if the issue is related to a retailer store customer experience. If the complaint is associated with a Catalina Consumer Fulfillment request, we ask the consumer to clarify the BBB complaint and advise if they received an email or communication regarding a fulfillment denial. Additionally, providing receipts for the fulfillment requests would assist us in further research if/why a denial was advised.Initial Complaint

Back in December I went to ********* and was supposed to get a $5 register reward that didn't print. I contacted Catalina and they took over 2 weeks to respond and when they did the coupon they sent had already expired by the time it arrived. I messaged them about this and they claimed "due to limited promotion dates, we can't reissue or replace expired coupons", however at the time the promo for this coupon hadn't even expired yet. It is unfair that the system is faulty in printing out coupons then they send coupons that are expired. They are not fulfilling their promised promotions. I responded requesting that they do so and nobody bothered responding, so now I'm filing this complaint.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Its a scam to have a promotion then when the promotion doesnt work mail the consumer an expired coupon and not take responsibility. I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Catalina appreciates the opportunity to address the BBB complaint filed by the consumer regarding non-receipt of register rewards during recent online ********* transactions. Catalina Consumer Support takes customer concerns seriously, and we have thoroughly investigated the matter.
Upon receipt of the BBB complaint, we conducted a detailed review, including verifying detail posted on ********* website and escalation to determine if there had been any changes. We were told the same detail that was posted on the ********* website and that is that the Register Rewards (Also referred to as Savings and In Store Rewards) are only given for in store purchases. Below is part of what is shown on the ********* website, outlining that Register Rewards are only printed for qualified transactions made in store.
