all stores are the same ~ I was high management, here's how it works:
Use a coupon (i.e. 40% off) on an item that is not on sale
Use your VIP card for 10% off everything else in that transaction.
The computer will not calculate the 10% on top of a 40% coupon, its considered a "double coupon" ~ BUT the 10% IS valid on top of items that are already on sale.
Exclusions:
Remnants, patterns, AccuGo products, Cricut products, sewing machines, Yudu items (i.e. price-controlled products from the manufacturers)

Are you somehow connected to JoAnn's?? Just curious because you seem to have all the answers on this subject.
I am an ASG member, I am a small biz owner, and I am a member of a local guild that provides membership ID cards with expiration dates. This ID card allows members to qualify for the VIP. I think they also offer VIP to teachers, but I don't recall that you are a schoolteacher...
If you're not part of a local guild, I can't offer any other suggestions, but just wanted to throw out that it's not limited to just professional organizations.

I wouldn't call it limited eligibility - joining AQS is not restrictive - you don't have to go to meetings, you don't have to pay an exorbitant amount of money, you don't have to have certain certifications, you don't need to be a professional quilter, you don't have to live in a certain area. Anyone is free to join AQS. If you don't want to join AQS, then find a local quilt guild that provides membership cards.
To me limited eligibility is requiring a large fee ($25 is not large - depending on local guilds, your fee may be less), requiring a certain amount or number of purchases throughout the year to get the discount (which some stores do), or requiring you to be a member of a certain profession (which the teacher discount does). Just because you've chosen not to join AQS does not mean that the eligibility is limited.

BTW, I sell my stuff at craft shows, so...I have a retailer's license...

Thank-you everyone.

You cannot combine your vip with another coupon on the same item but you can use it on all the other items at the same time with the coupon...did i make sense????
for example if you bought 3 items 2 on sale already and one regular price...you can use 1 coupon for the regular price item and still use your vip card on the other 2 items at the same time, so the 10% applies only to the sale items.
