Daanish, they are becoming less prevalent for sure. Having said that I personally have scanned it only once at Target for a discount. But some of my marketer friends argue that they are still very much in use although analytics have yet to prove them right. In short, I would say it doesn't hurt to use them if it is not costing much time and resources.
