Thank you both. I really appreciate it. Btw, this week's ad is only 1 week not 2.

I have two FD questions. If I buy a caramel today (Tuesday) with the 20% from Thursday, will I get a 10/70 tomorrow or have I missed the deadline? If I buy a caramel on Friday with the new 20% on Thursday, will I get another 10/70 that I can use on Saturday? In other words, can I do 2 FD's in the same week? Thank you. I know that this topic has been discussed a million times.

Tuesday never worked for me, but the last time I tried was several months ago.

Last week, one of my cards that was on the 10/70 track switched to the variable (10/60, 15/75, 20/80, 20/100) track. This week another one of my cards made the switch. I still have one card on the 10/70 track. I wish I knew what made them "jump tracks."

All I ever get are 10/70's. I had one card get a 10/30 receipt coupon a couple of weeks ago and I was hoping for a follow-up but nothing. I've had a lot of my cards go from being ice cold and getting no good coupons to red hot and getting everything and then back to ice cold. I have no idea what caused it to happen.

It depends on what week the card "jumps tracks." Last week one card that only got 10/70's got whatever the cards on the other track were getting (I think last week was 15/75). This week another card that had always gotten 10/70's got 20/80, same as my other cards that were always on this other track.

For anyone who only gets 10/70 and is not familiar with the "other track," some cards' FD changes each week. It alternates between 10/60, 15/75, 20/80 and 20/100. These cards never get 10/70; they get one of the 4 listed.

This is why CVS always leaves me scratching my head. Let's say I have 10 cards and all 10 cards get 10/70's. Let's say you have 10 cards and 5 are 10/70's and 5 are variable. I'm thinking that the variable cards can't be that rare if you got 5 so I get rid of my 10 cards and open 10 new cards and they all get 10/70's. How does that make any sense? I wish that I could understand how to play the game because then I would do what I need to do in order to have CVS reward me. Isn't that the point of the reward? CVS rewards me for doing something which increases the chances of me doing it again. How can I do that when I don't know what that something is? Why does CVS keep it a secret? When I go to 7-11, I know that my 7th cup of coffee is free and a small cup of coffee on Monday is only 60 cents. I always go to 7-11 on Monday morning and when I have 5 coffees on my card you can bet that I'm going back for the 6th coffee to earn the free one. That's how promotions are supposed to work. I know what the deal is and I do what 7-11 wants me to do because it benefits me as well. CVS was brilliant in coming up with the red coupon machine and rewarding behavior. How did they get so far off track?

Great point! I have no idea what I did on those 2 cards to get them to the better (imo) track. With very few exceptions, I use the % and FD on every card every week.

I can go a month without doing a FD but they'll still send the 10/70's to me every week.

Does anyone know what the coupon for free $5 item can be used on? Have two in my account but it doesn't seem to be working on anything I try. Click on details for coupon and it doesn't say what it has to be used on.

A fresh report from Jeremy - Tuesday does not work to trigger FD

Also, I tested Thursday once a couple of months ago and got FD on Saturday, not Friday.

You are welcome to test it on a card that has so few ecb that using $/$$ is impossible.

Next week a lot of deals are copies of this week's deals. And a lot of dqs exp 11/30.

I would advise to move Colgate and Crest deals into next week if you don't need them for $/$$ this week on a slight chance that we'd get more dqs on Sunday.

I did 5 caramels today so we'll see what happens.

Nivea body wash was a really good deal this week. Spend $20 get $`10 ECB. I purchased 2 Men's body wash and 1 women's. Men's was $6.29 and women's was $7.49. Total for 3 $20.07. Used $2 and $5/2 insert coupon. It double dipped with $2 digital. Paid $11.07 got back $10 ECB.
