There’s no doubt there will be a deluge of loyal customers vying to cash in on their oldest savings keepsake. The grand prize of the competition is a $100,000 home renovation, alongside $500 gift cards awarded to 100 top entrants, and $100 in spending money for another 50 winners.
“For decades, our customers treated these coupons like treasure,” said Amy Sullivan, president of Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., said in the announcement. “They tucked them into purses, filing cabinets, cookbooks, and memory boxes because they believed they would be valuable someday. We think they were right.”
A backtrack on bargain-hunting
It’s been years since the beloved home goods retailer stopped accepting the coupons back in 2023.
The struggling business had filed for bankruptcy, shuttering hundreds of its brick-and-mortar stores until none were left standing. Under a new owner, Overstock.com (now Beyond, Inc.), it launched online later that same year—but contrary to its time-honored tradition, didn’t accept the physical coupons.
