CVS Coupon Guide
13-digit CVS q's
-some expire promptly on expiration date given
-one-time use only: once scanned, that particular 13-digit q can never be used again, even if you void the order & start afresh; on the 2nd attempt, register will say already redeemed on mm-dd-yyyy
-$/$$ limited to one purchased-based coupon per transaction
12-digit CVS q's found in-store or in newspapers, magazines, and other publications
-expire 15 days from expiration date given
-limited to one coupon of the same barcode per transaction
12-digit CVS $/$$ q's emailed periodically
-always beep as "not valid for card scanned" if you did not directly receive the email
-often beep anyway even if you did directly receive the email
-sometimes work without beeps if you directly received the email
-most expire when they say; on a rare occasion, certain ones expire 15 days from expiration date given
-limited to one coupon of the same barcode per transaction in certain areas
-limited to one purchased-based coupon per transaction
12-digit CVS product-specific q's emailed
-work without beeps even if you did not directly receive the email
-expire 15 days from expiration date given
-limited to one coupon of the same barcode per transaction
9-digit CVS q's from register receipt
-work only on EC Card for which they were issued
-expire promptly on expiration date given, and in some cases, at the exact hour/minute issued
-limited to one coupon of the same first 5 digits (of the 9-digit code) per transaction
-if used in a transaction that is then voided (so you get CRT back), next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
-if expired & beeps "expired" and you get it back, next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
9-digit CVS daily recurring q's from price checker/coupon printer
-examples: $2/$10 CVS Brand, $1/2 Gold Emblem Candy, $2 Gold Emblem Water 6pk or larger
-work only on EC Card for which they were issued
-CVS Brand $/$$ expire on the expiration date noted
-CVS Brand product-specific q's are good though the very last expiration date that will be available. For example, if a $1 Skin Care coupon printed last week and is also printing this week, the last one of these will be issued on Saturday 4/17, good for a week from Saturday (4/24). That means that all of them you have will actually work thru the 24th.
-most of the time, can use multiples per transaction... although you just never know with CVS...
-if used in a transaction that is then voided (so you get CRT back), next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
-if expired & beeps "expired" and you get it back, next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
9-digit CVS $/$$ or product-specific q's from price checker/coupon printer
-examples: $5/$25, $1 Almay, $4/$20 Playskool, $2 Colgate Toothpaste
-work only on EC Card for which they were issued
-expire promptly on expiration date given
-if used in a transaction that is then voided (so you get CRT back), next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
-if expired & beeps "expired" and you get it back, next time you use it will beep "not valid for card scanned" even though it is for the right EC card.
Notes:
-actual CVS q's begin with 4
-9-digit CVS q's from your receipt or the price checker/coupon printer are called CRT's
-using expired CVS q's is YMMV, even if they work without beeps; some stores take them, some don't
-exceptions may occur due to store-specific programming of their registers
-exceptions may occur due to cashier error

Wow. You did an excellent job, nearsighted. Thank you! This was a great idea.. I don't have a lot to contribute, as I just started CVS'ing hardcore - so I am still a newbie..

What about the 5 digit codes where they mention cashier, enter code YYYYY?

The $10/50s that printed from the scanner caused all the other CRTs to beep, so it should be used last - if the cashier will take it last. I tried having the cashier scan my card a second time, but it made no difference. Other CRTs still beeped.
A few days later I went back to the same CVS with another $10/50 and a more coupons friendly cashier told me she needed to use it last because of all the problems it causes. She used it at the end when my total was now way below $50 but above $10, and it scanned just fine - so it does work if the amount is less than $50. I want your everything as long as it's free...

Another vote for no MD restriction of mutiple uses of $4 off of $20. But I think there was a recent register upgrade that won't allow stacking. Yesterday I tried using a 4/20 and a 3/15 on the same transaction, the total was over $35 and my store allows me to do this, but the 3/15 beeped. My Jedi showed me the screen where it stated that a $ off of $$ had already been used, then she just overrode and gave me $3 off anyways. Gotta love those Jedis

I'm sorry I can't change CVS's rules for you, but I sure am happy you were able to use the CVS Coupon Guide to answer your question today!  And that you understood that line correctly!  I had thought my wording there rather awkward and cumbersome but couldn't figure out how else to put it.

Just in case it matters: my coupon order was the 4/20 first, 5 or 6 others including ECB's, then $5/2 duracell and the 3/15 last. Last edited by kelmac252; 12-12-2008 at 05:45 AM.. Reason: add coupon order |
