Couponing 101: Bricks Coupons

What is a Bricks Coupon?  You've probably printed one before--they look like this.

We call it a Bricks coupon because "Bricks" is in the url.

You can usually print 2 Bricks coupons, so after you print, use the back arrow on your browser and you should be able to print a second one.  If you try for a third print, you'll get a message that says "You've already printed the coupon the allowed number of times" or something like that.

Bricks coupons can be very valuable coupons at times, but there is one problem--Bricks coupons use a different code for each browser, which can be confusing and annoying when the coupons don't print.

If the coupon won't print in your browser, don't give up!  A little tweak of the url (website address) can solve it.  There is a two letter code in the url that apparently tells the coupon printer what browser to print in.  You may have to change those letters according to your browser.

See where I highlighted the "wg"?  Those two letters before the ampersand (&) are the magic code.  You may have to change those letters according to your browser.  In this case, the code is for printing in Firefox, which I use.  If you were to try and print this link in Internet Explorer, it wouldn't work (unless you fixed it). 

• To make a coupon print in Internet Explorer, make sure those two letters are either wi or vi.
• To make a coupon print in Firefox, make sure those two letters are wg.
• To make a coupon print in Safari, make sure those two letters are xs.

The bottom part of the page HERE lists dozens and dozens of available Bricks coupons, though many of the sites ask you to register with name and email first.  I really wish the companies would stop making us do that and just give us the coupon!  Oh well, just use your freebie/coupon email address (an extra email address from Google or wherever that you use just for coupon sites, freebie requests, etc.).  Just remember, even if it takes you 1 minute to fill in your name/email address, and then print a $1 coupon, it's worth it.  $1 for 1 minute of your time equates to paying yourself $60 per hour.  That's a pretty respectable return on your time investment.

I hope this help you understand Bricks coupons a little better.  Happy printing!
