What ever happened to these guys? I know one dude went to jail for a long time for distributing them, but why did everyone else stop? With virtual coupons you scan from your phone being so popular now, I would think they'd be more popular.

I've seen threads with these a long time ago, how did they work? Did you have to change the barcode on them to make them work, or was it one coupon that everyone copied?

I was just thinking about this the other day..

It was the nice days where you could download jpegs and turn them into rars, I love stenography.

but yes, the GS-128 standard still works. I misuse "real" coupons all the time by matching the first five UPC numbers.

The problem is the CIC is serious, and they had pictures and everything.

If you guys do it, do NOT deposit the coupon in the self checkout. It will take any piece of paper. Deposit blanks, or *other* coupons. Preferably the later as then they'd have to do a full audit of all coupons received, per machine and they probably won't.

>>21371769
Yeah, cameras are HD and can do full zoom in. If you do too much, you'll trigger an audit and the transaction can be halted by the point of sale/cashier immediately and the lost prevention come out.

Keep it low, probably under $15-20 and you're okay and no electronics.

Use your savings on everything else to buy electronics full price.

Also, cardstock, print on heavier papier and actually invest in a good laser printer.

Going to try it on my phone though...
