My JoAnns still takes my VIP card and I found the calendar coupons to be very beneficial. I used the August coupon ($20 off) on three prepackaged queen-size W&N battings that was on sale and after my coupon only paid $42 for the three (they are regular priced @ $59.97 each). A savings of $110.00 was well worth it. So far this year I only missed using one of the calendar coupons.
