Has anyone redeemed the new digital coupon more than once where they scan the QR code from your phone or print out?
They have always been loose on the multiplier coupons, but it says one per customer, so I'm wondering if they are actually tracking the multiplier coupons redeemed (especially the digital ones)
It's a new thing, and I want to use the current 12x one to fill our second vehicle, but don't want to pump 80L of gas to find out they won't give me the multiplier and therefore destroy the gas rewards I'd get.

Won't work more than once unless you have the app loaded on multiple devices.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I had filled up my wife's car using 'my 'coupon. Luckily before that I shared it with her via email. So I was able to print off 'her' coupon for her email. It's a bit of a hassle to have it set up this way. Even more annoying is that I once I used the coupon it disappeared off the iPhone app, so I would have been unable to share it with my wife after the fact. They should at least allow sharing of the coupon after using it.

Wow, I'm glad we don't have those here, sounds pretty dumb. With paper coupons, they waste thousands of trees but you get grab as many as you want from either the flyer of the store.
The whole multiplier coupon thing is pretty lame though.
I fill up at CT, I should straight out get the rewards that come with it. They really need to bring the loyalty cards they launched in the Maritimes recently to replace the coupons and the paper CT money.

I agree. I don't want a ct MasterCard, but buy gas all the time. The regular weekly coupon is available in store, in print, and on the iPhone app. Those you can use multiple times (even on the iPhone). For some reason they released this extra 'exclusive digital' one via email that this thread is about. The regular weekly one was like 6-8x, the digital one they said they were 'testing' was for 12x and has a longer expiry, but single use.
In the gas bar they have a new scanner device that they have trouble using (and requires them to temporarily take my $700 iPhone) that they barely know how to use. It has a qr scanner on one side and a video screen and touch screen on the other side. I have to wonder the cost to implement a system with that kind of scanner device for a coupon that most people don't even get, and those that do get it only get to use it once.
Perhaps the point of this test was to get the system rolling for other uses down the road.
