Formula checks.

I received Similac checks in the mail and my grocery store ID'd me to make sure I was legit. Do all stores ID you? How about Babies R Us? My husband received some so I'm sending him grocery shopping later. I see people on FB trading checks all the time but wonder if they're successful in using them. Any experience with this? Thanks!

    What is a similac check?

  • Manufacturer coupons that Similac sends. I registered on their website and they mail "checks" for $5 off purchase.

  • I've never heard of anyone being ID'd before.

  • I never signed up to receive formula checks but I get them for similac and enfamil. I breastfeed so I don't need them but all of the checks have my name on them.

  • @FinalyFound do you use them too? Trying to figure out who doesn't ID do I can swap.

  • I don't get them but a friend gives them to me and I've never had to show my ID. I use them at Costco to get the big ones!
  • I used them recently at babies r us and at walgreens. Never needed an id.

    I think they're supposed to but it depends on the cashier I think. My husband was asked for ID while I was in the car, he came back to ask me to go in but I was in too much pain from my incision so he just went to a different cashier and they didn't ask. My friend gave me some and were nervous to try them


    Edited to add

    He was asked for ID at Walmart but when using them at Babies R Us we weren't

    I second this - Sam's doesn't take coupons, either. Are you saying they take the Similac checks? Maybe they aren't considered s coupon??

  • Sam's takes the checks they're not considered coupons. Its a form of payment
  • I just used mine at walmart and target yesterday for enfamil and wasn't asked to see my id. By the way BJs takes all coupons
