We always recommend using Vizer Velocity OTC codes at self checkout. However sometimes this is inconvenient or not possible. Below is a guide with tips on how to successfully help the store associate use the coupon.
1. Have the OTC Barcode Ready
- Open the email from Vizer Velocity with the OTC barcode on your phone.
- The barcode usually acts like a gift card or one-time coupon.
- Make sure the offer hasn’t expired and is for the correct product/UPC.
2. Politely Explain It’s a Manufacturer Offer
Say something like:
“This is a manufacturer-sponsored digital coupon or gift card for this specific item. It should scan just like a store coupon or prepaid code.”
The more confidently and clearly you explain, the more likely the cashier will help instead of refuse it.
3. Request a Handheld Scanner If Needed
- At some registers, the scanner built into the counter won’t read barcodes from phone screens.
- Politely ask:
“Would it be okay to try a handheld scanner? The counter one may not scan this digital coupon.”
4. If the Code Doesn’t Scan Automatically
- Read the instructions provided by Vizer to the associate. The issue may be the order of their operations. Most of the time they have to select the payment first as if you were paying for the whole transaction. The associate may be treating it like a standard coupon.
- Ask if the cashier can enter the barcode manually (there’s usually a 12–16 digit number under the barcode).
- Most systems treat the code like a gift card or in-store digital manufacturer rebate.
Tips for Success
✅ Use at Walmart: Walmart stores are more familiar with digital rebates like Vizer Velocity.
✅ Show email subject line: Adds legitimacy (especially if it mentions “Digital Rebate Offer”).
✅ Be friendly and patient: Most cashiers aren’t trained on niche rebate programs.
✅ Try during less-busy hours: You’re more likely to get help if the cashier has time.
✅ Keep the product visible: So they can verify the item matches the offer.
