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

This is the CVS Coupon Discussion thread for questions, scenarios & chat for all coupons (including Manufacturers) that can be used at CVS.

This is the only thread due to the fact another thread that had CVS coupons only turned into a begging thread and was full of abuse.

FAQ:

Q: Will (insert coupon) BEEP?

A: There are two types of e-mailed coupons. Product-specific coupons and $ off coupons. In most cases, product specific coupons will NOT beep at the register, regardless of whether you rec'd them in your email or not. On the other hand, $ off coupons WILL likely beep if you did not get them directly in your email. The cashier's screen will pop up with a message along the lines of "Coupon not valid for card scanned"

Q: Will my cashier push a beeping coupon through?

A: YMMV....that is up to the cashier/manager. Some users have reported that even if they have received a coupon directly from CVS, it still beeps, so CVS will probably push your coupon through as a courtesy to you. There is no official policy to push through beeping coupons, so DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO PUSH THEM THROUGH for you.

Q: What are 12-digit and 13-digit coupons? What's the difference?

A: A coupon barcode that has 13 digits is one-time-use. Once it has been used, it cannot be used again. If you try to use it again, the coupon will beep and the cashier's screen will say "Coupon already redeemed on [date]" 12 digit coupon are multiple-use coupons, and can be used many times.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer: The following information is based on what the CVS register system will allow. Individual store policy is still YMMV.

CVS Coupon Guide

% off CVS Coupons
- % will not be taken off of the amount of any CVS Coupon including $x/$xx and manually printed ECBs (either printed from register or from coupon machine), Quarterly ECB, Beauty Club ECB, or Green Bag Tag ECB used in the transaction
- % is effective on some sale/ECB/clearance items

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
-see additional info here

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 glitches in the system, especially on Wednesdays, but usually revert back by the following day
-exceptions may occur due to cashier error

Before starting a discussion about coupons , PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

COUPON ACCEPTANCE
As a general rule, stores should accept your coupons because they got you in the door and build sales. The official corporate policy is that CVS will accept one Manufacturer's coupon and one CVS coupon per item. Extra Care Bucks do not count as a coupon for purposes of this rule.

When you get into the fringe scenarios, however, it will vary by district, store, and even by cashier. Some stores have been instructed to "take all the coupons a customer has", some limit you in various ways. Some stores allow multiple "Save $X on $YY purchase" coupons, some don't. Some stores allow the use of coupons past their printed expiration date, some do not. Please note that the newer Save $x on $yy purchase coupons limit you to 1 per transaction.

USAGE OF EXPIRED COUPONS
Historically speaking, CVS coupons do not beep* until 2 weeks after the expiration date printed on the coupon. Some stores take the coupons until they beep, even if it is past the expiration date. Other stores have a policy to NOT take coupons once they have expired.

So, until something changes in their system, a $/$$ coupon that is expired will NOT beep until it is 2 weeks past the expiration date. Given that, please calculate what 2 weeks past the expiration date is and don't ask this question in the thread.

Since some stores have a 'no expired' coupon policy, and we do not want to abuse their kindness in giving us these coupons, please don't be upset if your store won't take the expireds. It happens. Key here is that once a CVS coupon expires, it is even more YMMV than before.

* "beep" : When the CVS register system alerts the cashier that the coupon was not accepted, we refer to this as a coupon that "beeps".

USAGE OF "Save $X on $YY purchase" COUPONS - STACKING AND SUPERSTACKING
The official corporate policy as of Apr 2010 is that you may only use one of these per transaction. Using more than that is YMMV and depends on your store's policy.

An item that is FREE as part of a B1G1 by CVS cannot be counted towards your minimum purchase required to meet the $xx.

This is to keep consistent with how CVS would officially count how much you spent when there is an ECB deal that requires buy $xx and get $yy ECB. (See below for example):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When CVS has their "Buy x of product, and earn $xx ECB" promo, and the items are on sale B1G1 Free, do both of them count toward the promo?

If the ECB deal is buy a specific amount of $$ in order to obtain the ECB, then only the one you pay for counts. The free one will NOT count.

If the ECB deal is buy a specific number of ITEMS in order to obtain the ECB, then both items will count.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other words, we need to have the minimum threshold for the $xx be calculated in the same exact manner as how CVS would do it when they (CVS) offer a B1G1 sale.

Any deal scenario or discussion that talks about using these type of coupons without the total being greater than the minimum threshold of each $x/$xx coupon and/or counts the free item towards the $xx minimum threshold for a CVS B1G1 sale will be deleted.

SlickDeals does not condone fraud, the discussion of fraud, or anything resembling fraud. Any scenario where you try to cheat CVS by inappropriate purchasing & returning, using coupons to buy gift cards, or any other fraudulent usage will be removed and you will be subject to warnings for illegal activity.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR COUPON BEEPS
Please do not call the CVS customer care line to complain because a store didn't allow you to stack multiple $X off $YY purchase coupons, or because they wouldn't let you use an expired coupon, or because they wouldn't let you use a coupon for a 6.0 oz colgate on the 4.2 oz package (that coincidentally is generating ECB), etc. DO NOT EVER CALL ABOUT STACKING $x/$xx COUPONS!

CURRENT KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH PARTICULAR CVS COUPONS
*will be updated as issues are reported*

SELF CHECKOUT

Q: What does "coupon not accepted" mean?

A: This is a generic error message that appears when a coupon is either expired, requires cashier intervention (such as a BOGO coupon that requires price input), has already been redeemed, etc. In order to use the coupon, a self checkout attendant will have to enter in the coupon him or herself.

Q: Can Self Checkout scan all types of coupons?

A: Generally, self checkout can scan any manufacturer or store coupon, however there are some technical and policy limitations. Technically, not all machines can yet scan the new GS1 bar codes (the long bar codes). This can vary by store or even individual machine. Machines also might have trouble reading fuzzy or mis-sized bar codes on IPs. Try to print from a laser printer whenever possible.

Occasionally, coupons will scan but will then throw the error, "unknown barcode scanned". This message requires an override from an attendant. This has happened before, for example, with RIB coupons.

Policy-wise, CVS may program a store coupon so that it cannot be scanned without cashier intervention. For example, a "free 14 ct CVS bandages" CRT might not scan at SCO so that the cashier has to verify that the free item is in fact a 14 ct CVS package of bandages.

Q: How will BOGO coupons scan at SCO?

A: Answer needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is an example of starting a discussion about stacking $x/$xx coupons and should be avoided, instead one should please read the above about coupon acceptance instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The official policy on coupons as far as SD goes is that we allow all coupons to be posted with the following exceptions:

• Altered coupons - warnable offense
• Posting a scanned version of a coupon that was printed out at Coupons.com - warnable offense
(note: providing a link to where to print out the coupon at Coupons.com is OK)
• Scanned manufacturer's coupons - warnable offense
• One-time use coupons (useless anyway)
• Coupons asked to be removed by the source (for example, Lowe's and Target have both asked us to pull coupons off SD)
• Please note that CVS has asked us to not allow attachments, this includes *.JPG, *.PDF, and *.DOC to be posted here. Direct links to CVS coupons will still be allowed.

As for the coupons posted early, as long as they are hosted by the retailer on the retailer's server, we'll allow them. As a compromise, we'll hide the posts until they are 'officially released', but we will allow them to be posted.


This is an email I received from Corp regarding coupon use (2007) - NeedNewShoes

Post from 4/4/10 re CVS coupon policy (original post here)
SD's official policy regarding the use of BOGO q's with $/1 q's here
[quote]
FYI - the B1G1 Guidelines - Keep in mind all sections that address "14" coding
B1G1 Coupon usage guideline.
Guidelines Regarding a B1G1 manufacturer coupon with a regular manufacturer coupon.

Thanks to another user who helps out in the RA threads for the template on the guidelines.

A) B1G1 coupons say buy X get Y free. So if the coupon is coded "01", the coupon is actually only applied to the one that you get free, in this case Y.

There is nothing to say that you can not use another coupon on the one product you are actually buying, in this case X. So YES, you CAN use a $1 off 1 coupon on X.

However, If the coupon is coded "14", then the coupon attaches to both items and you will not be able to put an additional coupon on the "X" item.

Example: Buy 2 HE products use one $1 off 1 HE and 1 X B1G1
This is YMMV according to many stores and only allowed if the coupon is coded "01".

If the coupon was coded "14" then you cannot do this as the register will beep. Asking the cashier to force through that coupon in this situation will be considered illegal activity and will not be allowed here on SD.

The manufacturer can choose the coding in this case ("01") or ("14") and this determines if the manufacturer will allow you to do the above or not.

B) Using the example above you can NOT use a $1 dollar off 2 items because that coupon applies to 2 products.

Example: Buy 2 HE products and use $1 off WYB 2 HE products and 1 X B1G1. <--- This is illegal activity.

OK to do: If you buy a total of 4 products you can use 2 B1G1 coupons + $1 dollar wyb 2. In this situation you have 4 products: The 2 B1G1 coupons applies to 2 products and the $1 dollar wyb 2 applies to the other 2 products for a total of 4.
Again, this can only be done if the B1G1 are coded "01" -- if they are coded "14" then you would only be able to use the 2 B1G1 coupons only. This is YMMV according to many stores.

C) The rule of thumb is that you can NOT have more coupons than products.
Example: Buy 2 herbal essences use two $1 dollar off 1 product and 1 X B1G1. <--- This is Illegal activity

There is too many coupons for the number of products. See number 1 for the correct scenario.

D) WYB VS. AND: If a coupon says Save $1.00 on X WYB Y, you CAN use a coupon $1.00 off 1 coupon on Y. If a coupon says Save $1.00 on X AND Y, then you can NOT use another coupon on either X or Y because the coupon applies to BOTH products.


Example of an abusive situation:

You cannot abuse the system like this: Buy two of product x and use a coupon of $5 off 2 products of x AND also the $1 off product x just because the $5 off 2 products is only coded for 1 product ("74").

Thanks Serra...thumbsup

Thanks!!!

I got my new card a couple of months ago, but never did anything with it. Threw it in a drawer somewhere. I was afraid it wouldn't work with my current EB's since it has a different number.

Scan it through the register and it should start to work.

This just happened to me and the CVS CS said I needed to make a purchase (I had) and then wait a couple of days and two days after purchase it allowed me to add it to my account. HTH. :)

If you would have done a search like I just did - you would have found these posts:

HTH.

:wave:

Received these today:
$5/$20 CVS brand
$4 off any Dr.Scholl's for her
$4.50 Pampers big pack box
$1 Colgate ProClinical toothpaste
$3.50 CVS infant baby formula
$2/2 Loreal cosmetics

I did the deal you described just moments ago and it worked perfectly.

You know, I don't have a clue! Never really had the need to know that before now. :P

I have a laser printer, but thanks for the suggestion ;)

Hmmmm.....this might be a great thing. DH chimed in with more tp and pt (we seriously have enough til the end of the year at least)...but I could start "Christmas shopping" and get the Revlon for my bff and my aunt.

Thanks guys!

Did anybody who got the 3 off 15 stomach remedy CRT get it again today after getting it Sunday? TIA

Yes, I just got it.

I didn't use the one before -- I let it expire. Without TUMs MQs or CRTs, it isn't a good enough deal for me. (maxed IP & used all my newspaper insert MQs).

I am going to let this one expire as well & hope I get it again for use on Sat. With luck, I'll get new newpaper MQs for TUMs :D

Kinda off-topic. Lost my ECB card but have my number. I read once that you can generate and print out barcode based on the number and you can stick it on another card. Does anyone have a link to such a barcode generator that would work at the scanners?

TIA.

Yes, i just did.

Thanks, Majnoona and Klimber.

Just a heads up, the Maybelline CRT says "one day only" and has an expiry of the very next day (mine that printed today was set to expire tomorrow). Also, I don't believe this printed on my second card, but it did print on my first card (and I received the e-mail on that card) - so it may be card specific. :)

Bought the Rapidlash on Sunday. Listed it up on Amazon for $25 and within hours, I got a buyer. Shipped it out the following day. Used my last 10/50 CRT on that too. No more $$$/$$$ when I scan my card :(

My last 10/50 expired yesterday as well. :sadwalk: I have no idea how many I got over the last month, but it was a BUNCH! Sometimes I would get two in one day. And I used every single one except one. :nod:

Wonder if it was some sick joke they played on us from marketing? Get us all hooked on the $/$$s and then yank them away. I was getting $4 off $20 regularly, friend was getting $10 off $50 regularly, no more in the last week though, last ones expiring on Sunday (used it on Charmin).

I just used my last one too.....I think I'm having withdrawals! I was getting them every.single.time I scanned.

If anyone's wondering, I actually used 2 of those CRTs last night on 4 bags of Starburst jellybeans in the same transaction (along with other stuff - had a subtotal over $60), and both auto'd for $4.29. :)

Thanks for telling your story.......

what will all the red diaper doper babies
on this blog that are always crying for their cvs's have to say about this ???:nod::nod::nod:

ROFL!

I'd never set foot in a CVS again without the coupons.

I had always worked under the impression that places like CVS would give you some kind of bonus for transferring or bringing them a new prescription. I can't seem to find anything like that online. I'm pretty sure that this means that CVS only does it occasionally (or with a coupon that is not active right now), but I'm hoping somebody will tell me that it's actually so commonplace that they just do it and I don't need a coupon, etc.

Rx coupons were the norm up until about a year ago. Personally I think it has come to a hault to discourage all the transferring to here there and everywhere in the best interest of the customers health, and safety of having all prescriptions at one pharmacy as to reduce the possible risk of drug interations. But that is just my opinion.

Or maybe they got wise to not enough people transferring and staying.
Or it could be just another sign of the times.
I am finding a lot of deals that didn't happen this year the same way as last year.
For example, no MM Kellogs this month, no free backpacks at Staples
and generally very slow CVS and RA summer seasons
Hoping the anemic deals turn around soon!

Hey y'all. I already got 6 jumbo diaper bags on one of my cards and the tally shows as bought 3 need to buy 3 more for than 2 weeks now. Bought the last 3 during the gas deal(slip-ons) 2 weeks back. So my question is, is there still hope for me to get the free diaper CRT or do I have to call customer service? My card is unregistered, can I still call CS? Any help will be appreciated :) TIA.

So my CVS account online has been royally borked for about a month, since they did the upgrade to their website. The "Rewards & Coupons" section only has been showing my Beauty rewards since the upgrade. All of the other deals I do are missing, the ECBS I'm earning, etc are gone, whereas they used to show up there. I also have not had anything to "send to card"

I've heard that others have had a similar issue. My question is, have any of you tried contacting CVS to get this resolved and has it been resolved? Also, does CVS have an email addy for customer support? TIA for your help!

I actually just talked with CS about this same problem this morning! They said the Little Movers diapers were not counting properly during that week, so even though they can see that you bought them when they look at your account, they for some reason didn't count towards the deal (which she said is now fixed.) I actually have one more pack to buy before I earn my free pack, so she said to call back after I buy that sixth pack and she will issue me a $12 ECB because she can't actually send the free pack coupon to the card. I'm so happy with that because a $12 ECB is way better than a jumbo pack of diapers! Just have your Extra Care card available when you call and if you also have the receipts from the diapers that will help alot. You'll be able to say exactly what days you bought the diapers on and they'll be able to find it very easily that way.

I talked to CVS when it first happened and they that it's not an issue to be resolved... That's simply the way it is now. I asked them to record my comment that it's a step backwards for them technologically and that I didn't like it but I didn't get the feeling that "CVS cares" ;)

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure how what the CSR said can be true, because nothing comes up in the "Recently Redeemed Coupons". I would assume that if that section is there, it's supposed to be used for something....probably ECB redemption right?

My online account has been wonky for over a month now. Since the "upgrade" the only things that show up in my "Recently Redeemed Coupons" area are offers sent to my email (i.e. % off, $/$$) and Beauty Club ECBs. No other redeemed ECBs show up there now (for me, at least).

I wonder if they fixed it due to your report. I just called and they said that a free Huggies was waiting for me on my account :woot: thanks for reminding me to check on this. I haven't made it to CVS all week and thought about skipping it altogether.

A week or two ago, I got a CRT for $2.50 off any two Aquafresh kids toothbrushes or toothpastes.

In the IP thread, there's a q for $1.50 off 1 Aquafresh training toothpaste 1.5oz or training toothbrush.

Combine 2 MQ's with the CRT for $5.50/2. According to CVS.com, there's a kid's toothbrush for $2.59, which would make for a $.32 MM. I'm not 100% sure it is the "training toothbrush" referenced on the MQ yet though, so be sure to pay special attention to this...could be a deal breaker.

Be sure to rep libby and TinCanLarry for the q links!

edit: reports so far far are that CVS only has the kids toothbrush, NOT the "training toothbrush" required by the MQ. But, the kids TB's seem to be BOGO50, so get 2, use the CRT, and only pay $1.38 for both ($.69 ea). Cheap kids brushes, if you need them!!

This Week Only 20%

Recently Redeemed Coupons is the only part of my account that works right now. Yes, it's for listing redeemed ECB, but only certain ones appear there.

Another lame ass 20%!!

UGH.

Same here! Get real, CVS! :mad:

Considering that now, neither CVS, Rite Aid, nor Walgreens have $/$$ q's available, it appears they have gotten real.

Do have the CRT, but can't find the coupon on their site.

Direct link don't work, must C&P
http://see.walmart.com/aquafreshkids/

i'd settle for a 20% right now... but didn't even get that this week. ugh.

I'm with you. I haven't received a $/$$ or %off for as long as I can remember.

(zguru posted the above in the weekly thread, but I'm replying here because my reply really makes more sense in the coupon thread instead...)

Anyway, I'd suspected this when folks were giving mixed reports on whether this CRT beeps - thanks for confirming, zguru!

But yeah, I mean no disrespect to anyone who put forth their theories that different stores treat the same CRT differently - but in my experience, I just really don't think that's the case. I strongly believe that the same CRT will always behave the same way at any CVS store at any given time (the free bandage CRT auto'd for overage on Sunday but prompted for price on Monday - but it did the same thing for anyone using it at the same time); what determines whether it beeps or autos or whatever is what you buy and what other coupons you use in the transaction.

The most common reason that a CRT will beep for someone but not beep for someone else is that the former used another coupon in the transaction that conflicted with it - usually a $/$$. The reason for this is that the CRT is usually coded like a $/$$ itself, so it requires a minimum purchase amount - for example, maybe the Starburst CRT is coded as $4.29 off $5.98 worth of Starburst; what this means is that if you're using, say, a $4/$20 in the same transaction where you're buying 2 bags of Starburst, your subtotal has to be at least $25.98 for both the $4/$20 and 1 Starburst CRT to go through beeplessly. (That's just an example, I don't know if the Starburst CRT is really $4.29 off $5.98 Starburst - but I definitely think it's $4.29 off some minimum amount of Starburst.)

If anyone ever reports that a particular CRT beeped for them when it didn't for most others, I always assume it's because the CRT is coded like a $/$$. (Obviously CVS coupons can also beep if they're not valid for the card scanned, but that of course wouldn't ever be the case for a CRT that the card received.) I assumed this for the Starburst CRT too, even before zguru posted what he did above, which was why when I used 2 of my Starburst CRTs to buy 4 bags of Starburst in a transaction with a $4/$20, I actually did it with a total subtotal of over $60 - since I figured $40 would be more than enough for the 2 CRTs to look for. :lol: Happy to report that that was beepless by the way - so it's not so much that the CRT beeps if used with a $/$$, it's that it beeps if there's not enough above the $$ for it in the transaction.

Thoughts/confirmations/rebuttals? :)

I haven't been playing the CVS game for years like some people, but it was reported that last year or so you could print your ECBs online, just in case you lost or had some damaged ECBs [ripped, smeared, bad printing, etc]. Then that function disappeared. I remember a few months after I started CVSing, that function came back and the faithful cheered. And all the offers were showing up online so you could track it that way, instead of just at the bottom of your receipt. The crowd went wild.

Then CVS after taking one step forward, took one step to the left, then drunkenly staggered a few paces back. I presume because of people printing out ECBs and either mistakenly or purposely used those ECBs twice [using the ECB that printed out at the bottom of your receipt as well as the printed one]. But I guess the enigma that is CVS will never be solved.

Then select ECBs and offers tracked and showed up.

Then they "sent Qs to your card."

Then they had the whole "secure" Q stash that is CVS's IT department was abused by SDers and others looking to see what they could do to manipulate URLs to see what was possible.

So now we stand here at the end of August scratching our heads as tallies get erased, weekly deals arbitrarily becoming monthly deals, and like a meth addict looking for one more bump, faithfully click into our emails daily to see if CVS is going to dish out one last hit, maybe that elusive unicorn, I mean $/$$ Q might come back alive.

But stay strong!

PS. I contacted CVS about a gas card that didn't print, and they said it'd take 48 hours to print out via the coupon machine. It's been over two weeks. I probably should call back right? I didn't realize it'd take 48 days...

And this was sent to your card, not e-mailed to you with a direct link?

It was emailed with a print or send to card option, but those links are customer specific now. :mad:

:nod: Probably best to call them back - they take notes on what you've previously called about, so they should be able to easily see what you're talking about and that they didn't actually send your EB yet.

I called a couple weeks ago about an EB that didn't print, and they told me I'd get it in 48 hours too. Nearly a week later, still no EB, so I called back and the guy mumbled out loud some notes that had apparently been jotted down in my account and was like, "OK, I see you were supposed to get a $5 EB, it'll print for you within 48 hours" - and I did get my EB when I scanned my card 2 days later...though I do wonder why it wasn't really sent the first time, even though they had notes on it. :rolleyes:

I concur.

Now I have to remember to come back tomorrow and rep you for typing all this up, cuz I'm all out for the day.

Thank you!!

:worship:

Concur x2! :D

Thanks for the votes of confidence, y'all. :)

What I'd really like to see done in the future though is instead of simple reports of "I bought 2 Starbursts and the CRT auto'd for $4.29 for me" or "I bought 2 Starbursts and the CRT beeped," it'd be awesome if we could all give a little more info, like "I bought 2 Starbursts and the CRT beeped, but I used a $4/$20 first and only had $22 total worth of stuff" - would be insanely useful to help figure out what we all need to do for beepless transactions. :)

And not just for the Starburst CRT of course, but any CRT in the future where it may be coded like a $/$$ - I've found that maybe a quarter of all generics (the CRTs you get daily) seem to be coded that way for some reason. I've almost never had a non-generic CRT beep on me (excepting the Lumene CRTs, which I've still never figured out :confused:) - but a significant percentage of the generic CRTs seem to be coded like $/$$'s and thus conflict with real $/$$'s (or might even beep if your subtotal is too low, even when you buy the exact items specified on the CRT).

As examples, the CRT for Gold Emblem chips a couple weeks ago was coded as a $2 off $2 chips, it seemed (so if you used, say, a $4/$20 in a transaction that included a bag of chips, you actually needed a total of $22 in the transaction to have the chip CRT go through beeplessly); and the $2 off Starburst nearly 2 months ago was so annoyingly coded that if you bought only 1 bag of Starburst (which was on sale for $2.50) and tried to use the CRT, it beeped because it was coded as $2 off some amount that was higher than $2.50. :lol:

One caveat though - if you're using a $/$$ that beeps for any reason other than "not valid for card scanned" and has to be manually pushed through, it shouldn't affect your other coupons at all - so if a CRT goes through beeplessly afterward, it doesn't prove that it actually worked in conjunction with the $/$$, since the $/$$ was manually entered.

On the other hand, I've found that using a $/$$ that beeps because it's not valid for your card will still make the register think that you used the $/$$ for some bizarre reason. I don't know if this has changed recently, since it's been well over a year since I last had a $/$$ beep that way for me (I avoid using the "generic" $/$$'s posted here if I didn't receive them directly), but if it hasn't, then if a $/$$ beeps not valid for card, it still deducts $$ from the subtotal for your other CRTs to look at - even if the cashier refuses to manually push it through! Very very stupid, but that's always been my experience anyway...

The only problem is I bought the huggies slip-ons and it tracked fine on my other card that's why I am a bit confused. I did call CS and all she said was she'd have to look into it. I guess I'll wait it out. Thank you for your response, repped :). I would love a 12ecb rather than a free diaper pack ;)

I scouted out the Aquafresh today at my store, but the only Aquafresh kids stuff I could find was all marked Kids, not Training - if you look on Aquafresh's web site, the Kids stuff is for kids ages 2-3+, while the Training stuff is for kids ages 3-24 months.

My CVS only had a 2+ Kids toothpaste ($2.67) and 3+ Kids toothbrush ($2.59) - both were BOGO50% (although I don't think they count for the gas card deal; isn't that just Oral-B this week? :confused:), but the coupon is supposed to be for the Training line, which my CVS didn't seem to carry.

Anyway, just a head's up on that before others get too excited about this deal!

Well, that's a shame! :sadwalk:

Thanks so much for checking it out...off to edit my post.

After looking at the website I see that I got the wrong toothbrush. I am going to delete my post, can you snip it from your reply please? Don't want to mislead anyone :(

Although I can confirm that it counts towards the gas deal since I have a tally on my receipt.

I called last week about the same issue and said they'd call back but never did. That's why I called them back yesterday. This time the lady I talked to seemed to know what she was talking about (and she could see from the notes that I called about the same issue before and apologized that nobody got back to me) and was very competent about doing something about it. So if you don't get a call back be sure to get in touch with them again. Hope it gets resolved for you!

Wow, that was an ah-mazing post :lol:

I think there are "training" toothpastes in the baby aisle.

So with all this talk of CRT's being scanned as $/$$, what are the ramifications? E.g. Will I be able to use multilple $2 Nature Made CRT's if my total is high enough?
TIA!

Also, I got the following nongeneric CRT's yesterday:

$10 Bayer A1C SelfCheck Monitor
$5/2 Cold or Flu Relief

Just used 2 $2 CRT's (together with 2 $1/1 NM MQ's from RA's website) in a transaction that had $5.49 of vitamins and $3.99 of other items and everything went beepless!

Nope.

Oh yeah, don't worry, in my experience the Nature Made CRTs don't require a minimum purchase amount - I've never had one of those beep on me regardless of how low my total is or what other coupons I use. :) It's only certain CRTs that do that (like the Starburst BOGO CRT this week)!

I can buy $4/20 coupons, 5 coupons for about $1.50. If you know what I am referring to, are these moral/Ethical or Legal ?

what does your gut tell you?

I should have used the Stomach Remedy CRT? :lol:

I scanned my card again today and go the Stomach crt again. I didn't use the last one.

I can't believe I missed that information about the Starburst CRT. I cringe at even asking this but how was that discovered? I'm just curious. I have a stack of five in my kitchen right now that I would LOVE to use. But ya'll know there's only so much Starburst a single girl can eat before she needs a crane and a Jerry Springer intervention to get out of her apartment. And my dog doesn't really like Starbursts either. I guess I could try the Starburst CRT at the self checkout and play stupid if it doesn't work. :confused:My CVS is super coupon friendly and I am always holding up the SCO for some reason. They wouldn't even blink. BTW, repped and thank you!

Hmm? For the Starburst CRT in particular, zguru reported in the weekly thread that it was conflicting with $/$$'s - which aligns well with the fact that earlier in the week, most folks reported the CRT autodeducting $4.29, but a few reported it beeping (most likely it beeped because these people were using other $/$$'s in their transaction).

If you're asking how it was discovered in general that some CRTs require a minimum purchase amount - well, just astute observations over many transactions by many SDers, I'd say. :) Like zguru did this week, many of us have experimented with varying combinations of coupons and then observed what beeps and what doesn't - and it seems to be a pattern that some daily CRTs require a minimum purchase amount (though it's impossible to tell what that minimum is for each of these CRTs, other than through trial and error - and reading what other SDers have reported, of course!).

I'm not sure what you're particularly worried about with the Starburst BOGO CRTs though? I certainly didn't mean to make anyone panic over these CRTs! :lol:

Anyway, unless you're using another $/$$ in your transaction, I think they should all go through fine and autodeduct $4.29 each if you're buying 2 bags of Starburst per CRT - the coupon is coded as a $4.29 off $$ Starburst, but the $$ amount seems to be less than (or equal to) the actual cost of 2 Starbursts, so there shouldn't be a problem if you're not using another $/$$. If you are (e.g., if you have a $4/$20 or $10/$50 or whatever that you also want to use in that transaction), just be aware that your Starburst CRTs might beep if your subtotal is barely above the $$ required for the other $/$$, in which case the cashier might enter the sale price of the Starburst instead of getting it to autodeduct $4.29. Does that make any sense at all? :scratchh: If I'm being confusing, feel free to PM, and I'll try to clarify!

oh YA......

blessed by the PONTIFF and all THE BISHOPS :cool::cool::cool:

I think my Starburst coupon beeped for price, because I saw him looking and he took off $3.39. All they had left was the tropical flavor.. I hope they're not gross!

They're yummy! My favorites,

Starburst CRT did not beep today and took off $4.29.

CRTs today:

• Spend $50 on Olay, Clairol, Crest or Old Spice, Get $5 off
• BOGO Starburst, Skittles, or Life Savers bag 14-17 oz
• $1 off any Orbit singles 14 ct
• FREE Always panty liners 20ct (up to $1.77)

All expire 9/4.

that $5 off $50 seems to be a weird CRT. $50 in one transaction on those products??

overage at self-checkout
 

Has anyone been able to combine an MFG and a CVS store coupon to get overage at self-checkout without beeps? I'm interested in the Skintimate cream shave deal starting on 9/4 and have a few $1.50 Skintimate coupons that would yield 51 cent overage when combined with the $1 CVS coupon. Thank you.

:nod: I wish it was a $5/50 purchase of anything CRT! But I guess CVS thinks it isn't that hard to reach $50 since the entire line of P&G is on sale. :lol:

I have 3 cvs 4/20 coupons that expire 8/30.
Please pm me if anyone wants them.
Each have unique barcodes and will be beep free.

------GONE-------

I know you can get overage at a regular register that way...I would assume the same for SCO.

Yep! :nod: Should work with no problems.

Tonight I found $1/1 CVS Q's (barcode starts with a 4) for Colgate Optic White TP or TB, exp. 9/30. Sure wish I had found these last week!

same here :)

Looks like the lurkers are having a good day. :yummy:

Where did you find this? (I have RC from last week.)

I just checked my CVS account and I have a $4/$20 Q YEAH BABY!!

I have a few questions about the use of the % off coupons which is all that I have gotten lately. I tried searching for some guidelines in the coupon rules thread and couldn't find anything. I know I have read some things but have never used one before so didn't see much reason to when the $/$ were available.

So Friday I decided to try using one that was emailed to me, 20% off. I knew it only worked for non-sale, non ECB producing, etc. items so I was buying an item that I needed that was regular price. I was also buying some other items using coupons and paying with ECBs. I did NOT use a coupon on the regular price item. I was watching the screen and first it took off the 20%, but at the end, it voided that amount and took off less.

The cashier said it was because I had used so many coupons. Was that really why? Should I have just bought that one item separately using the 20% off without using any coupons? I would have still paid with ECBs so would that cause the discount to be reduced? I am confused and thought maybe others that have been using these could clear this up before I use one of these kind again.

Also the coupon does not state that it is a one use kind, and mine doesn't expire until tomorrow so could I use it again without beeps?

$5/$30 for me :whee:

I've been saving some raincheck items and free Qs for a $/$$ I was starting to worry they were gone for good!

I also have a $5/$30, but when I click to print it, nothing happens. Then it shows I already printed it when I got nothing to print! CVS is really beginning to pixx me off.....:(

Weird, it worked fine for me. Even if it says you've printed it on X date, can't you still print it again? I've always been able to print another one if I lost the original, or print it from BF's house if I left mine at home.

It has to be your printer. Because you should be able to print it multiple times

In my experience with the % off coupons, yep, if you use another $/$$ coupon or ecb's or other CVS CRT's, it usually deducts from the "regular price amount" that your 20% is based on. MQ's don't affect it, I don't think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. HTH

They were sitting on a table with a bunch of other Q's right as you walk into the door. They are color, glossy, one-sided, and about the same size as a bricks IP.

The ONE time I used a % off Q, the savings dwindled down every time I handed the cashier another EB to pay with. At the end, I ended up saving nothing. :mad: So now I wait until they expire, take them to a store that accepts expireds, and they manually calculate the discount and enter it as a CVS COUPON. Then I can pay with EB's and still get the discount.

Thanks for your info, as well as TinCanLarry. I will rep both of you.

And I think I know the answer to my second question about using the % coupon again. When I checked my online account to see if I had any new coupons, I found (under redeemed coupons) that I had redeemed the 20% one so I guess it will definitely beep if I try to use it again. It's really not even worth the effort as I would be paying with extra bucks so would get hardly any discount. Thanks again for letting me know it's the EBs and not the manuf. coupons that reduce the amount.

sorry to check in after long time. No $/$$?

None that anyone has posted as printable/valid for the masses.
But a couple people are reporting receiving $x/$xx coupons in
their e-mail today, so couldn't hurt to check there.

I have not received one via e-mail as of today and not
for a couple weeks at the Magic Coupon Machine, but for the first
two weeks of August I got at least six $10/$50 coupons at the Magic
Coupon Machine.

UPDATE: Just checked my CVS account and I have a
new $5/$30 coupon -- it says "Just for You" -- that can
either be printed out or sent to card.

Seems a lot of CVS shoppers were receiving
multiple $x/$xx for a few weeks this summer but for the past couple
weeks posters here have noted a rather sudden dearth of $x/$xx
via e-mail, Magic Coupon Machine as well as the $4/$20's that
were being printed in newspapers/magazines for a while there.

Thanks for the reply. In short, emailed coupon can't be shared to mass?

happens to me, just click print again and the coupon will pop up!

Sometimes they get shared and some people have success with using them but it seems to be divisive issue on these boards and it also depends on your store/cashier.

Depends/YMMV, but lately, it seems most people have been reporting they beep "not for card" at the register. I haven't seen one posted (that stayed posted) for quite a while and I've not attempted to print and use one that wasn't sent to me directly in a couple years.

Finally got a $5/30 in my email. Lots of free goodies to use it up on.. :)

It would be great if you share the link?

Ya that coup reminds me of the movie.....
The Incredible Shrinking Woman :(:(:(

Monday morning CRTs:

$5 off Allegra 30ct or higher excludes PSEUDOEPHEDRINE (9/12)
$1/2 any boxes Gold Emblem Crackers (9/12)

Beauty Club Members: Get a Free Reinventing Beauty magazine! (9/12)

plus generic Orbit Gum , Starburst/Skittles

This would be great if I could find one that was newer than June :lmao:

Couldn't actually use the Q yet--- the BA said they hadn't gotten any mags in.

Can we combine a cvs nature made vitamins $3 off any purchase with a cvs nature made $5 off $15 in one transaction? Along with a $$$cvs coupon....

Always CRT took off 1.77 for 1.49 pantyliners.

For $5/15 NM and say $4/20 , you'd need $35 worth of items to avoid beeps. I think $3 off NM should work with either and/or both

This has been discussed many times throughout the threads. Yes, but for a beepless transaction, you must have at least the total of ALL the coupons in product. So, a $4 off $20 + the $5 off $15 = at leat $35 dollars of product! :)

Last week the coupon machine was out of order so no free product coupons. This week I got a free Always Pantyliner but they were out and did not have any substitutions. :(

Wondering if it's worth a call to CS? Not sure they can do anything and I do love my store most of the time. But, they're going to be printing free coupons all week and have no product to fulfill them..

Thanks for your suggestions! Finally got it to print! Now if my store would just get their Red Coupon Machine fixed so I can scan my card!

hello.. i received my free jumbo pack diapers CRT today and the max value is $11.99. i was wondering, if i was to buy a $9.99 pack, would there be overage? or would it auto-adjust? does it auto-deduct $11.99 like the free bandage cvs q? thanks in advance! :)

People have reported that it took off $11.99 when they bought pack on sale for $9.99. Should be the same for you, unless CVS changed smth recently.

Mine's been saying that I need 1 more for couple of weeks now :(

So it isn't just my store that has only old ones.:( Maybe this is their way of clearing them out!:)

Same here, I see them everywhere, all the old ones

Are you talking about the $3/1 secretly MQs that had CVS written all over it and expired 6/30?

anyone can share $off coupon in the email? Many thanks!

I honestly can't remember if I requested this free sample from CVS or not but CVS sent me Poise free samples in the snail mail. It came with a $2/1 CVS Q for any Poise Houseglass Shape Pads (exp 10/15/11), barcode starts with # 4.

I have got to start maintaining a list of samples requested & received...:confused:

Here you go: http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...it28429286

My bad didn't know the rules. Sorry. If you want me to delete, i am happy to do so.

No,I never received those MQs you are referring to.I received a cvs q of '$3 off any nature made product' on my receipt after I checked out from SCO because the magic coupon machine is ALWAYS out of paper:mad:

Oh. They were RIB Qs from a way while back.

Speaking of, the Q machine gave me today a "Free for Beauty Club Members: Up to $0.99, free RIB"

Has anyone seen the new edition? I've still seen some of the very old copies that had Natalie Portman on the front and the Qs expired 6/30...

That recent? The ones I found yesterday had Q's that expired 12/31/10. :lol:

:D

If only the state of CA was forcing CVS to give out $2 Qs for expired Qs lying around the store. I've found so many of those $2/1 CVS Q Christophe Exp 7/31 on those large ads hanging around. Mysteriously they all disappeared when they were clearing out the volumizing shampoo for $2.xx, but magically reappeared after the prices went back up to $8.xx.

They'd probably be expired too. :lol:

One of my fave cashiers literally ran to me as I walked into the store yesterday. She was exclaiming, "look! I found coupons for you!" I looked at them and didn't want to burst her bubble, but they were totally expired, lol.

thanks so much for your reply! :) i tried to rep you but it said i had to spread some love around first. will come back as soon as i can! you're always so kind to respond and help. thanks again :)

Received an email from CVS to partake in a survey regarding their GE cookie packaging, got $5 EB for 5 minutes of time.

Haven't received any mailing besides this, in a long long time from CVS!

I'm really glad I signed up a week or two ago through a link from some nice SDer. Yay $5ECB!

I stopped by my closest cvs to scan my card and I got:

• $4 off $20 allergy relief
• Free Always panty liner 20ct (expires in 1 week)
• $4 off Allegra 30 ct or higher
• $5 off 3 Sundown
• $1.50off Prpnamel 4-8 oz
• $5 off $50 on Olay, Clairol. Crest or Old Spice

The next scan, I got the 2 current generic crts.

I got something similar last week? about sweets, but they only gave me $2 ECBs.

In other less useless news, I found a tearpad of $2 off any Visine q's stuck to the shelf next to the visines in my local (southern NJ) CVS Monday. If you have a 3 off 15, or a 5 off 30 q, grab 4 x $4.99 visines (do 2 orders with 3 off 15 q, or 1 order of 8 of visines if using 5 off 30) = 15-3-8x2=$8 for 8 visines + $10 gas card, or 30-5-16=$9 for 8 visines & gas card (using 5 off 30). The tearpad q's have all kinds of extraneous verbage about 'only redeemable at cvs stores' (but clearly marked and coded as mfc's), and some new kind of visine product (but q clearly says 'valid on ANY visine). I used 4 in each of 2 orders w/o beeps, so definitely an mfc, not a 1 per order cvs q.

the $2 off Visine tearpad is not for the cheap-o Visines

read it again - assuming what you have is the same as what i found, it says 'valid on any Visine product' - the other stuff about some new kind of visine is just extraneous, and does not limit the validity of the q on ANY visine. It is confusing though the way it's printed with the stuff about the new type of visine so prominent, and the 'any visine' language small and not so prominent. I used all mine already, so I can't chck it again, but when I saw the pad of them, and the weird verbage about the new type of visine on it, I almost left them alone, then I took another look, saw the 'valid on any' language, and went to town. no beeps, fwiw.

i dont cvs much (mostly RA) but i did notice something of interest. on monday i used the self check out machines at one cvs and since the coupons were higher than the price of the item, the system let me deduct the extra amount on tax. then i went to 2 other cvs and the self check out machines refused to take the coupon and i had to use the man cash registers.

The ones I (I should say DD did :teehee: she brought me some when we were at one of the CVS stores ) found are for ANY also.

Good job for your dd! I hope you let her pick out some gum or something for her finding those q's!

Is anyone aware of any stores in the East Valley(Phoenix/Gilbert/Chandler) area that accepts expired ECB's? I just realized mine expired monday-DOH!

She got plenty of rewards this week with all the summer clearance ;)

Have you asked around? I know one store near me accepts them, manager told me that ECB is like actual $$, so they 'll take them expired. But at other stores I would just ask, especially if its only couple of days, and they tell me they'll take them.

Today the CVS Q for BOGO starburst deducted $2.99 (not $4.29). The bags were $2.99.

The only Starburst item I've seen that's been ringing up as $2.99 recently are the Starburst Jellybeans.

All other Starburst have been ringing up as 2 for $6 as the prices $3.69 [regular] and $2.31 [to get to $6]

So perhaps you bought the jellybeans which weren't 2 for $6?

Hi. I've done this transaction a couple of times and bought the same items. Starburst jelly beans are $2.99 here. The first time the BOGO Q gave me $4.29 off and I got overage because I had two $1/1 IPs. Today with the same items $2.99 was deducted instead of $4.29.

I used 3 CVS $1/1 Orbit Qs and got .66 OV. I have an MQ for $1.50 off 2 diet cokes and 2 orbit that I bet would work with the CVS orbit Qs but I haven't tried it. Since DCs are $1.59 the final cost for 2 DCs and 2 orbits is $1.24 ($1.59x2=3.18 -.44 OV - 1.50 MQ).

I also got 2 joy cones clearanced to .25 each and used a $1 off 2 joy cones WYB ice cream. I got an ice cream sandwich for .69 and it worked without any beeps.

Has anyone seen slimfast peelies or Qs anywhere? There were none at CVS.

Is it still true that you can "use" 4 off 20 coupon sent to the email one per store per day for up to 48 hours? TIA

i believe those are one time use

Yup, one time use, 13 digit CVS Qs.

Where are the Orbit Qs? Are they tearpads found in store?

They are the generic CRT printing at CVS this week.

Need advice, took on trying to build Veteran Care pkgs for 9/11 but thank goodness they moved it to Nov 11 Veterans day, I am trying to find deals on tolietry items to donate to make nice care pkgs for homeless/down on their luck veterans. so far have only managed to get 24 of the degree for men deo on Walgreen deal
I am not asking for donations but I sure do need help finding deals that would be low OOP after coupons/sales etc Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in wrong place

You may want to get in touch with some of the Operation Homefront people in this thread

Got this CRT today: $1 off any sugar free cough syrup, cough tablets or cough drops. The CVS brand cough drops will be 99 cents next week.

am having h*ll of a time spending ECB
lost card-spent 2 days searching every folder, pocket, purse to be sure lost
went online and ordered new one, printed temp
went to store Sat night and they couldn't access my account with Temp. Didn't remember phone # attached to account but we tried 3 that it might be.
went home, looked up phone # and went to another store. Had gas voucher exp 8/29. They still couldn't access account but gave me gas card
went home, printed the entire page with my account info. I hope they can access card with the number-now the new number (sure looks like the same one as my temp card) Didn't have much time, only a busy cashier on the whole sales floor so I skipped it.

I have 6ECB exp 9/2. I had a decent MM deal for Sat night but now nothing looks too interesting and I can't get my red box Qs to help out.

I'm stuck at home all day (thurs). If I call CS, think they'd re-issue the 6ecb?

I have a lot more ECB but hope to get access to my account or new card by expiration.
moral of story: scan card and save a copy on hard drive!!

i have 3 cvs coupons ($4 off 20) to give away. they expire today. the first three people to reply to the post i'll pm them with the link.

i'd like one plz

oops! wrong thread

I'd love one!

Am I too late for one? tia

PMs sent to munchkin77, dentbill, and Timing. they're all gone.

You are super fast! repped! Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have not done CVS for about 6 monthes(I got burnt out, deals were not good anymore) I don't see any 4off20 coupons. Is CVS still sending them or has that stopped? Since I never got them in my email, I always came here to print them. Now I am confused.
Thanks for all help:confused:

Oh no :( no more coupons here too :mad::confused: guess have to get a new card, maybe this way i could get one myself:confused:

CVS still puts some out, but lately they only show up in your online account and aren't shareable. You'll have to log in to CVS.com each week to see if you have one there. Sorry!

:confused:
The no begging rule has been in place for a couple of years or so, so I'm not sure why you think that is a change?

We are still free to share links to $/$$ CVS coupons...it just seems that CVS is putting an end to multi-use generic links like we used to post.

Sorry to hear of your trouble. If you have the lost card's full number, I remember someone posted a website link to print CVS extracare card barcode that will scan. I tried searching but couldn't find it. Hopefully someone will repost it?

Anyone find a non-expired Reinventing Beauty magazine?

I am beginning to think they haven't actually printed any.

New 3 off 15 Expiring 9/4/11.
New 5 off 30 Expiring 9/4/11.

Happy Labor Day.

New to CVSing.. would it be better to add it to card or print it? I am thinking print so I know it comes off, right? Thanks all! :)

Print. I'm guessing if you use the "add to card" on someone else's email, it'll just add it to their card...not yours.

Thank you so much for the CVS coupons!
I did some playing around. Here is your $4 off $20 [ed4.net] :bounce:

On the web page, it says available now through 9/4/11 but on the actual print, it's 9/5/11 (Monday).

Thank you so much!

I know I saw this asked somewhere before, but for the life of me cannot find it.

Does anyone know the start date of the buy 6 get 1 free diapers promo? I need to dig out my receipts.

Thanks.

Heres a $5 off $40 Expires 9/5/11

If you find the new one, please post who's on the cover. :) I cannot find any new ones either.

In other news, CVS actually sent me a $5/30 Q in my email :faint: Glad to see $/$$ again!

I keep a notebook with info on all freebies and coupons I request. Check 'em off and date when rec'd.:nod:

I rec'd a 5/30 too! :)

where did you find these coupon on cvs online account?

I received an email saying you have 4/20 exp. 9/4 but when I opened the link the coupon read exp. 9/2:confused:

mostly the coupons show up earlier in your account compared to email.

I do not think the date in the email itself is meant to be the expiration date of the coupon. Instead, it is the last date you will be able to access the q for the first time. Once you access the q, the expiration date gets "set" for a later date (roughly 4 or 5 days from the day you print it). For example, I had a 20% off q in my account last week...I printed it either Thursday or Friday and it didn't expire until Tuesday. The later you wait to print (or send to card), the later it will expire...but in this particular example, it would have to be printed no later than 9/4...and then you would get 4 or 5 days to use it. Does that make sense?

Very interesting, wish I'd have known this if it is true.. so I could technically wait to print the $/$$ I received this week until toward the end of the week, and it'd have an expiration into next week? Hoping I understood correctly.

Yep, I do believe that is true. That's what I've noticed from the couple I've received, at least...the later I wait to print, the later they expire. Just be sure to print it by the "available until" date.

thanks. it beeped as usual.

OT here, I used a CVS $10 egiftcard from Swagbuck and it beeped. Anyone has tried to redeem it? I forgot to ask the cashier if he forced thru it. I would not get anymore if there it is a beeper. It makes me nervous.

Maybe she treated it as a coupon and that is why it didnt go through. Next time tell her to treat it as a gift card. If she pushed it through, that means you still have $10 on that card.

It probably beeped because the cashier wasn't putting it in right. Did the cashier hit total and the push the gift card button before scanning it?

does everyone get a unique code when they click through to print ?

for the 5/30, the "unique" code that came up for me is "4-4875-0174"
(I'm not planning to use this coupon, that's why I'm posting it to make sure we all get different coupons :) )

That is the same code for me when I clicked it to print. So I am guessing everybody got the same code here.

Log into your account, then click on the "ExtraCare" button towards the top right to see your account. If you have a coupon, it will be listed under "Coupons and Rewards".

Each person who actually receives the coupon gets a unique code. If you did not receive it, the coupon will beep when used and it is up to the cashier whether to accept it or not.

thanks,got no coupon

thanks

I found RIB magazine with Cameron Diaz on the cover, all coupons expire 9/30.

I have 4 $4/$20 to give away. They expire on 9/7. I am going to a vacation and don't have time to use them before they expire. PM me if you want one :)

Edit: All gone

Can you tell us what coupons are in the magazine?

I do believe the list is here

That's the July list. Hopefully there's a September issue floating around somewhere in the US...

Haha, wow you guys. Disregard my previous post...In the issue I found, all coupons expire 9/30/10...

floating all right......

but i don't want to say
where on here :lol::lol::lol:

Haha I want to use my Free RIB CRT...ugh come on CVS!

RIB comes out quarterly, I do believe...the q's in that issue would cover July, Aug, and Sept.

Really? I thought they were monthly; I had a June RIB with Qs that expired 6/30 so I figured the July list was for the July RIB. Doesn't much matter considering I still can only find the June issues...
