My current approach is to never use a manufacturer or store coupon with any app-based offer that says you can't combine it with other offers. Is that too strict? Is there a good way to tell which SB offers don't stack with Alexa/Bing/Shopmium?
Yes you can combine those with extrabucks, percent off coupons, or coupons where it’s just a couple dollars off an item with no threshold ($7 off Garnier something like that), as long as your total came to 40 before coupons they can be combined, just not with another threshold coupon.

The state of Texas offers the following example of how it applies sales tax to this type of promotion: A retailer advertises pants as “buy one, get one free.” The first pair of pants is priced at $120; the second pair of pants is...
In a “two for the price of one” transaction, the retailer is compensated for both items since the word “free” is not included in the promotions.

Because the product is sold for the full retail price the retailer is compensated fully by the customer and the sales tax applies to the amount received. Because the rebate pai...
Purchasing a gift card is like purchasing cash. With that in mind, you wouldn’t pay sales tax when purchasing a gift card to give someone, because buying cash isn’t a taxable transaction. However, when the gift card is used to make a purchase at the retailer, they would be charged sales tax (if the good is taxable!). For gift cards, it all depends ...
The rules on how sales tax applies to coupons, discounts, promotions, and rebates can get complicated and can vary widely by state. Sales discounts advertised as “percent off” or “dollar off” seem to have the most consistent treatment across the states with sales tax. When retailers start using unique and special promotions, research is key to dete...
