Nope, not possible. The back of the coupon contains instructions for the cashier. Also, these coupons are probably initialed or stamped in some way by a manager before being issued to a customer.

That should be all you need to see right there, as trying to pass off a reproduction as the real thing would be forgery.
There's barely even a question as to the legality and ethics involved there.

That's pretty darn close to stealing.

I like how you're the board's version of the Church Lady. It's refreshing to see the youth of today know what's right and what's wrong.
Unfortunately I'm a grizzled old man that will fuck over any company any chance I get so your words fall on deaf ears.

the 3 dollars you would save wouldn't even be worth the time it takes to photoshop it, then haggle with the cashier/manager about the validity.

I don't like the idea of what you are doing, but
whatever you do is your own business. That said, would you mind not bringing it here? The last thing CheapyD needs is more trouble from a random array of business thanks to scams and exploits people post here.
Actually, a photographic enhancement interest group or a board would probably more advantageous to you anyway... the knowledge base inherent to this site is rather hit and miss.

That's great for you. I'm happy that you feel it necessary to try to rip off Target but when you come on these boards to ask someone how to scam it becomes our business. When you try to screw over a company sometimes they will screw back, and unfortunetly the way they can screw back is to cut their support to this website. That means less money for Cheapy and less money for him to put into the website. So as you can see, your actions don't affect just yourself but can have repercussions for everyone.
Just print out "Gimme money!" on the back. Don't use text either, use, like, the paintbrush tool and freehand it.

I'm all for screwing a bid company when possible, but this is cut and dry. No reproductions.

this reminds me of the beavis and butt-head where they go to the copy machine and print copies of their money and then try to buy stuff with the copies

Just because one of you guys mentioned not getting CheapyD in trouble, like the ebgames thing, I'm going to delete this all. But don't be confused about why. Keeping the heat off of him is the only reason.

ok, here's what you do, jimmie.
put on some crappy clothes and stand outside Target with a paper cup telling people you were born without toes and they should give you money. you will make a lot more than 3 dollars that way, possible a lot faster than doctoring coupons.
plus, instead of ripping off only one big corporation for 3 whole dollars, you could rip off many more normal (possibly rich) people for less.
just remeber: no sandals.

That's all I really care about. That's the only reason I ever get involved in these... it's the ancillary arguments that the people try to throw out to make themselves look like they are in the right that usually leads to me agruing and flaming them. If someone unabashedly says "I know it's illegal, but I'm doing it anyway", I'll just usually ask them to leave or not post it because of the way it affects CheapyD. More often then not, this the second or third guy into those arguments that lead to a long and hotly contested flamewar.

I've got my answer, and it sounds like we don't need the original topic brought up again.
Pretzels rock.

There was a different thread discussing a different matter. Since JimmieMac agreed that it affected CheapyD unfavorably, he changed the topic name and his post.
