I get a mailer from DressBarn every so often that includes a scratch off.
The store clerk scratches it off to reveal the discount after the shopper picks out their purchases.
This is meant to only be a helpful hint and

I hope this is not cheating, but I discovered if I shine an LED flashlight behind it, I could read the discount without scratching and voiding the coupon.
Sadly, mine is just 15% this time. I have no plans to shop their right now anyway, no matter what the discount is. But it kind of fun to know either way.
Ha, good to know :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information!
ReplyDeleteHow did you figure that out? I would have never thought of that. I'll have to try it whenever I get a scratch off in the mail.
ReplyDeleteWell, first I held the card up to a window but that light was not bright enough. Then I remembered my little purse size flashlight. It is so bright that the light shines right through the card.
DeleteThat's a great tip! Saves you a trip if it's kind of small!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Good to know for next year as I am already DONE!! Ha
ReplyDeleteWell now that is fun to know! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great tip, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip! That way you know whether it's worth it to go without getting up to the counter with all your stuff. I'm sure a lot of people just go through with the transaction even if the % off isn't what they hoped it would be.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thank you Rhonda for that tip. I will no longer have to waste gas going to a store with a scratch off to find out it is only 5%.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!
ReplyDeleteWonder if it works on those scratch offs for the Lottery!!!!! You may have discovered something! :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't expect it would work on lottery tickets, surely those have a more secure coating than an advertising mailer. At least I hope lottery tickets aren't readable like this.
DeleteThanks for the handy tip - that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteA handy tip, for sure! I'll have to remember this for the next scratch off coupon I get.
ReplyDeleteI did it and it works!I used the mobile flash light.
ReplyDeleteAwh..very nice tip! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, now I have to try this. Don't tell anyone else!
ReplyDeleteJust tried it on a coupon. Did not work on this 1. But with the possibility of 60% off my pots and pans, I'll risk still getting only 5%.
