GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.

Meijer is turning a past headache at the checkout lanes into a $10 coupon that customers can use Friday or Saturday. The coupon is good for $10 off a $50 purchase on grocery, health and beauty items or general merchandise. Frank J. Guglielmi, senior director of communications for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer, said an outage affected the retailer's ability to process credit cards. He noted it was an internal IT issue. The glitch in late February disrupted the point-of-sale system at stores for debit and credit card purchases.

Digital coupon use is at an all-time high, with more than 2 million Meijer shoppers now subscribed to the retailer's free mPerks program, and Meijer has made significant investments to make digital savings easier for its customers. The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer now has free Wi-Fi capability in all its stores, making it easier for customers to access their mPerks accounts and Meijer's mobile app, freeing up their smartphone data plans for other uses.
