$20 CVS eGift Card (redeemable at CVS Stores) $10

Quote from rtool : Got shot down buying two $25-Old Navy GCs...even tried to throw in two packs of batteries. Got the cashier to go through the 4 steps at the problem, but the register prompts him sayings cash tender only.

In my local CVS, using gift card to buy another gift is a no-no.

How hard is it to find $20 worth of stuff you would have bought anyway at CVS?! Just use the credit there.

Some of us don't shop at CVS. I have only been in there once in the past few years.

And it's not $20 worth of stuff. I have 17 of these so it is $340 worth of stuff and that is not so easy to figure out.

I'm hoping CVS has some kind of slickdeal at some point where I can buy something there and resell it for a small profit or even break even and monetize all these vouchers. I do need to do soemthing with them though...not smart to have money just sitting in there and doing me no good.

anyone else have trouble using the egift cards at CVS?

I posted this on their facebook wall.

"How long and how many people does it take to use an egift card purchased through the CVS website at CVS? Apparently it takes six days and four people… a store manager, a district manager, a regional manager, and a cashier. CVS should be embarrassed of itself. Managers that have been with the company for years and should be able to recognize what the egift cards look like.

After my gift cards were initially refused, I called CVS corporate. I ended up meeting with the CVS regional manager and the CVS district manager. I was not happy with the way they handled the situation, because they were also fixated on where I got the gift cards from when that shouldn’t even matter. Once I told them that the gift cards came from the CVS website they started checking the balance on each one. Since when is it policy to ask where you got a gift card from? And since when is it policy to check the amount on each gift card online before being allowed to use it? Once again, I feel like I was singled out here.

Tom Potter the store manager lied to the district and regional manager trying to defend himself. He told them that he did try and scan the gift card and it came up as invalid and this is a flat out lie. He did not attempt to scan anything. I told the regional and district manager that I wanted an apology from Tom Potter, which is not too much to ask for. The district manager said they would need to talk to Tom Potter first and that he would be disciplined but unfortunately due to labor laws they could not share with me what that discipline would be."

No problems here -- sometimes the system shows an error when they try to scan the barcode, but I simply tell them to hit "gift card" on their screen first and then scan the barcode

Most of the cashiers at the 2 stores near me alrdy know how to use them since I'm there once a week -- if I'm at another CVS and the cashier looks confused then I'll tell them how to use it and they have no problems with it

I also write the remaining balance on the printout every time I use it -- couple of the cashiers at the stores near me have started to automatically write the new balance on the printout for me lol

Well the problem I had was that the store manager did not recognize what they were and did not want to hear me out. He refused to let the cashiers scan more than one. I had to call corporate and get more people involved.

Maybe.. just maybe... it had something to do with the fact that I was trying to use 40 gift cards at one time to purchase 800 dollars worth of vodka.

800$ worth of vodka for $400.

sounds slick but it makes it more suspicious though.

was even slicker than that. i'm not completely sure on the number but i think 13 of those 40 gift cards were free because I kept referring myself with different emails... so I think it was 270 for 800 in vodka.
