CVS Coupon Guide

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?

Quote from notavailable : What about the 5 digit codes where they mention cashier, enter code YYYYY?

The 5 digit codes where they mention, "Cashier, please enter: XXXXX" is considered a 12 digit code. If you look closely on those 12 digit codes, the first 5 numbers are exactly the same as the 5 digit code they mentioned for cashier to enter in

This is great!

I live in MD and often use multiple 4 off 20 coupons in one day. I am not sure why there is a MD restriction in the wiki, but I have CVSed all over MD and never had that problem.

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.

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

MD CVSers, thank you for the information!

To clarify, according to the different types of CVS q's listed out in the wiki, which type of CVS q's were the 4/20 & 3/15 you used?

Thank you for reporting! Maybe a new restriction is starting where once a purchase-based q is used, no other CVS q's may be combined with it... I have heard 1 or 2 reports that rescanning the card did not work; it may have been this kind of situation. We'll keep an eye on this one and see how it tests out.

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
-limited to one coupon of the same first 5 digits (of the 9-digit code) per transaction

i hate the rule i bolded.

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.

[konmai]

i understood it clearly. that's the bad part.

i saved the quide to my laptop for future reference. it's very helpful. thanks again.

4/20 was a 12 digit, got from the iheartcvs site. 3/15 was a 13 digit, I think the ones they hand out at the pharmacy, I got from Ebay. I never had a problem using multiple $/$$ before, when it beeped the cashier said something about a register update, and she showed me the screen. It said something to the effect that a 4/20 had already been used for the order and it did not allow any more $/$$. HTH

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.

The CRT's from the scanner such as the GE nuts, towel paper, do not have an expiration date of 30 days. its much shorter than that.
