Reps are back...for now.
I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am! Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too. |

First, I have a question. Hot Deals has a thread posting a link to a SCANNED store coupon...it came from a physical booklet, available in stores, and someone scanned it, uploaded it to the net, and attached a link to their post. Are we allowed to do this now? Scan physical store q's and post them here? Or are there different rules for HD? I know we can link to PDF's of store q's that were originally online, but scanning a paper q that was never meant to be copied (and says "Void if copied" right on it)? Second, I also mod alerted the heck out of the free Community Coffee thread here...because we still aren't allowed to post pdf/png/etc MQ's as far as I know, yet that thread had lots of MQ's that were no longer hosted on the orignal site... (The very first link there, to olivesoft.com, is the newspaper's hosting site and is legit...all the other links and attachments aren't allowed per the DS forum rules...not sure why HD gets to post them and we don't...).

I know we can link to PDF's of store q's that were originally online, but scanning a paper q that was never meant to be copied (and says "Void if copied" right on it)? It's not allowed and was removed. The coupon rules are the same forum-wide.

Poking around a bit, I believe that Wags q has been around since August or so. How did it make it that long without being removed? I understand things fall through the cracks, but 4 months seems like a long time for something that shouldn't have been posted in the first place. I don't know what it takes to get a deal in HD, but it seems like someone should be checking them out to make sure they don't conflict with SD's rules? |

I tried finding this info but could not get it.
If I missed it please accept my apologies. Curerntly CVS has $10 cash card offer if you spend minimum $ 30 on single manufacturer item. I bought 30$ worth of Sodas and got a 10$ card Then I bought 30$ worth of Snickers bars and got another 10$ worth of cash card. Bought 30$ worth of Wrigleys Gum 3-packs and got another 10$ worth Cash card. Now I have 3 cash cards worth 30$ total. If I go and spend this cash card to buy 30$ worth of sodas again while the offer is still good till saturday, will I still get another 10$ cash card or no ? My ideas is to know if cash card spent in store are as good as cash towards earning rewards and perks or you must spend real funds. Thanks in advance as I just started playing B&M drugstore game this week as I got addicted to SD

I am on my cell phone and am short of time, so please don't be offended if this post is short and doesn't link you directly to everything you want and need to learn the ropes at CVS. Go to the current weekly thread. Check the wiki (post 2). Scroll to the bottom of it, and you'll see links to all sorts of treasure troves of info related to CVS. The CVS FAQ is what you are looking to start with, then the CVS coupon thread. Read them both from start to finish to get most of the basics. The short answer is yes, CVS rewards do roll, as long as you have not maxed out the deal. Nobody here spends real cash at CVS anymore, and you'll join their ranks soon enough. The longer answer, for you at least, is that you have a lot of reading to do. ![]() Welcome! You'll love CVS! |

Thanks Rydergal for being quick, informative and sweet...I was expecting some of the member to be upset for this post. I have started reading but will take sometime to get into the grove after I learn abv and other stuff. And yes I did go to the section you referd and it is great source of info with examples as well. Just that I could not finish reading it while at night shift so shot the question instead.

I realize a couple people posted that this happened unknowingly while attempting to purchase the correct items....those aren't the posts I'm referring too. I ma'd several and they were taken down...but then a post was put up saying this is at the store's discretion to fix and since then the pages have exploded with more talk and scenario's of using them incorrectly. Everything these days is being done electronically...does that mean our code of couponing ethically should go out the window. |

I know you were asking Schoobs, but I had to chime in on this one. Let's face it, the world would be a much better place if EVERYTHING that EVERYONE did was done ethically, no? But that's not reality. Besides, you'd have to define exactly whose code of ethics everyone was to follow, as not everyone shares the same values. But I digress. Some things fall under ethics, while others fall under loopholes. "A loophole is an ambiguity in a system, such as a law or security, which can be used to circumvent or otherwise avoid the intent, implied or explicitly stated, of the system. Loopholes are searched for and used strategically in a variety of circumstances, including taxes, elections, politics, the criminal justice system, or in breaches of security." (Thank you, Wikipedia. )Do people like loopholes? Historically, only if they are working in your favor. Are they legal? Most of the time, yes.As far as the QR coupons, to say that the responsibility of making sure that RA shoppers aren't taking advantage of the "loopholes" they have found should be the responsibility of SD, is painting with an awfully broad brush. How on earth can they police a system created by a company that can't even police it's own system?
Some people need a sympathetic pat on the head ... with a hammer. |

First, everything is always a big word. My coupon room would prove that everything is not electronic. Because someone else posted something you believe is unethical does not mean you have to do it. Keep your own morals, at the end of the day we are all responsible for ourselves. We are not responsible for others, unless you have kids ![]() I do not believe that the op were TRYING to buy the right product, I think they were shocked that q for A came off on B. So they posted. If q for A came off on A, they would not have bothered. Usually we post the odd, not the expected, so someone else went and tried, then they posted. Then the game was one to figure out the where and why. It spread like wildfire. IT will come in and fix their own problem, as always. I akin it to hidden clearance. If you found XX on clearance at one store, then went to second store and it was not tagged, you would scan to see what it rang up as. I do not think you would insist on paying the shelf price if it rang up on clearance. Their pricing + their register = their issue QR's are ra coupon + on ra card = ra issue This is a community forum, we are here to give you a place to post deals collectively. We are about the deals. If you choose to not use QRs then please, hunt out the deals for those who hold the same standard as you do. I know there are many who would appreciate a good deal. I also know there are many more who would appreciate the whole discussion to be done with, so they can get back to the deals Thank you~ nuffsaid "You cannot believe all the quotes you read on the internet, due to the sources often being hard to verify" - Abraham Lincoln
found [google.com] my $.02 coupon, so I can give my opinion without any oop ![]() |
