You need to c all corporate office and discuss/complain about these store not honoring Joann's coupon policy. I am sure that joan's takes competitors coupons. Joann's will take competitors coupons as long as the other store carries that item (does not have to be exact match) eg- Joanns will not honor 40% off Micheals coupons on fabric since Micheals does not carry fabric. Also Joann's policy % off total purchase coupon is not good on items bought using other COUPONS. Also they should will take several different joann's coupons if coupon is from different source. eg- one from flyer, one from newspaper. I know this to be true since I mostly shop at the Joann's in Hudson, Ohio that is attached to the corporate headquarters.
