Why some coupons are worth only a fraction of a penny
In short: This video investigates the reality behind coupons that claim to be worth less than a single cent. You will learn why these values are technically accurate and the logistical hurdles involved in redeeming them for cash.
While it may seem like a marketing trick, these coupons do possess a real cash value. However, to accumulate even a single penny, a consumer would need to collect a massive quantity of them.
The process of turning these micro-values into profit is further complicated by the need to mail them to the issuing company, depending on their specific redemption policies.
