RETIRED CVS Coupon DISCUSSION: questions, scenarios, & chat for ALL coupons (including Manufacturers) that can be used at CVS

Quote from hba123 : At my store they are by the beauty counter where the free samples are.

Where is the beauty counter? I don't think any of my CVS has one...No wonder why I've never found this magazine. LOL.

In the makeup section, one of my stores has a small counter/chair for "beauty consults" with free samples, coupons and this magazine. Another spot to look is in the makeup section not against the wall but where the free standing displays are on a shelf--there are racks of mags nearby, like Glamour, etc. and these are there too.

Some stores receive both the magazine & separate additional coupon inserts bundled together ( I have seen the unopened bundle).

Sometimes the additional coupon inserts (FREE unlike the magazine) are placed in the holders as the weekly ad flyers. I have also seen the stack of free coupons in the pharmacy area by the free disease booklets ( info on diabetes etc. ).

Are there any sellers of the 4/20 that people have had problems with? Trying to dabble in with the $4/20....maybe...haha

Quote from ninjavery : Cvs 4/20 email coupon from sellers is still beeping item not found. Been doin that for almost a month. Anyone else have the same problem?

I've been having the same problem with the last couple 4/20 cpns I have used. Someone mentioned this about two weeks ago and thought it could be beeping on the cpns that have the code that start with 487639XX.
The cpns I used that beeped start with those numbers so I don't know if that is the problem. Haven't been able to get any cpns that start with a different code to test it.

i have been getting mine from the same seller and have never had a beep. last weeks batch are close to the same as as yours : 487636.

also, i just got another batch a few days ago (not from the bay) and they start with the same numbers i listed above.

the sellers don't have any more of a right to these coupons than anyone else
they just know how abuse/take advantage of the system
it bugs me that they are making $ off of them this way
they are con artists and everyone is supporting them by buying these coupons

I have the 25% good thru Sunday. if I print it on Sunday, will it print with an expiration date of Thursday, 8/9 ?

Con artists? They are doing the work which you are too lazy to do yourself so they offer a price for their work. Simple as that.

None of my 4/20's have had a problem beeping, my guess is they already were used or the wrong code start.

Yes it will.

Many have asked CVS if they mind us using these and CVS has stated as long as they are not copied and don't beep they are fine. CVS could easily close the loophole if they wanted. Either they can close the loophole or simply ask us not to use them. So far they haven't done either.

Quote from randomSD : Yes it will.

Good to know, b/c I might want to do the Dermasilk deal, but would like to see if a 30% comes out first. Since the % coupons come out on Thursday, I can wait until Sunday to print this one and then see what I get next Thursday before I bite on the Dermasilk next week. If I don't get better than 25% next week, I can still decide Thursday if I need to do the Dermasilk at 25%.

Lazy? No, SD'ers are not lazy. Most just don't know how these sellers are getting the coupons.

I am not asking anyone to close a loophole.
I am just disturbed that people make $ off these coupons.
I am equally as disturbed when I see people selling tearpad coupons.
To me, it's just wrong.

Those on the bay selling 4/20 coupons are allowed to distribute them because CVS knows and can stop but opts not to, so I assume that they have an implied permission,. I see no wrong......

Actually, even better - if you do get another % Q next Thursday, you can actually use both your current 25% Q and the new one in the same transction. If your other Q is, say, a 20% Q, it will take off 15% of your non-sale items if used after a 25% Q (i.e., 20% of 75%).
