Yes I went in and printed it but was unable to use it unfortunately

It took the coupon off and asked me to pay. When I selected to use extra bucks to pay, the coupon was reverted and subtotal was $10 more
You'd have to post your transaction. I clipped a $2/$8 Colgate crt which automatically came off and took my total below $30 so the $10/$30 wouldn't work until I added something else.

Manager intervened and claimed extra bucks are coupons rather than payment methods and my order was under $30 if I used them to pay. Earlier in the thread people mentioned all coupons are ok to be deducted but it didn't work for me with extrabucks.

Guess I could've added something else like you did, but I did not bother since I wasn't planning to buy that much stuff anyway.

There are a lot of things that could've caused your $10/$30 to not come off but paying with EB isn't one of them. If the cashier did a void and then tried to ring up your sale again, it could've caused the $10/$30 to not come off. If you got something that didn't qualify for the $10/$30 and if your total of qualifying items was below $30, the $10/$30 wouldn't have come off. If one of your coupons was a crt and brought your total below $30, the $10/$30 wouldn't have come off. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you have a coupon or crt. The cashier at my store said that they were having a lot of problems with the $10/$30 so everything could've been perfect but the $10/$30 didn't come off. If you have a manager that says that it's because you used EB, it's going to be hard for you to win the argument even though he's wrong and you're right. You can ask him to ring your sale up again without EB to show him that paying with EB wasn't the reason it didn't work but then he'll just make up another excuse like it didn't work because it's raining today.

With the 98% rule, the total you'd have to get to is $29.40 instead of $30. The $29.40 has to be of items that qualify for the $10/$30. If you use a crt, it reduces the total by the amount of the crt. If you have a total of $29.40 and use a $2 crt, your total is now $27.40 and you need to spend $2 more in qualifying items in order for the $10/$30 to work.

lol so much headache. I didn't really shop at cvs any more, but now once per month thanks to their $24 plus membership deal. But to answer some of your scenarios, I was using self checkout, $10/30 came off with Colgate coupon loaded in app and I had no other discounts. Once I selected EB to apply also, $10/30 was reverted. I unclicked EB and $10 was taken off again.
Cashier couldn't figure out why and showed manager exactly this sequence of off and then back on. Then Manager made the wrong conclusion that EB was the reason as you pointed out.

I nearly shut the register down yesterday! Anybody know why you can't use a CVS gc after using a P&G OTC $5 coupon? I purchased Tide Pods (10.49) and 2 Lindt candy bars.

Okay I need to use extra bucks saturday and need help understanding rolling.
If I buy 2 Colgate mouthwash to spend over $10, I'll earn $5 extrabucks.
1, Can I pay for this order using extrabucks?
2, if I clipped the $2 coupon, does it lower $10 spending and take away $5 extra bucks?

Thanks!

I got $5 on a mothballed card, I saw clearance CVS sunscreen $5 but when I price checked it, they were 2.72.
And expire in Nov. '26 and in 2027.
And I didn't see the "bad" ingredients (according to EWG) oxybenzone & octocrylene
I got the last 100spf but there was 65spf same price.

I seldom pay attention to CVS clearance so don't know if it is consistent throughout the stores but thought it might be worth mentioning

1. yes
2. If you purchase shelf/sale price items $10 or more, you're good. Coupons do not reduce your threshold.

So Colgate $2 coupon worked and even if Colgate total was under $10 after coupon, I received $5 extrabucks as expected. However,
I also clipped $2 wells market nuts coupon before heading to store. Grabbed a small bag of pistachios which had showed as eligible in app. Self checkout coupon list had Colgate and all my extrabucks, but no nuts coupon that I could redeem. What did I do wrong?

In my recent experience with CRTs, it wasn't anything YOU did.
Next time, try showing them the DQ in the app and maybe they'll manually adjust it.

Are you sure the $2 nuts coupon was off any dollar value? In my experience, the coupon is $2 off $8 or more.

Yes it's off any. Eligible products in app show $2.99 nuts.

I still have the coupon in app. Maybe I'll try again along with crest offers this week

I haven't couponed in a while at Cvs but yesterday I went and bought 2 CoverGirl items for the buy 2 get $6 ecb deal as I also had a buy $15 CoverGirl get $3 off cvs q. I've seen star over on yt saying in previous vids that she submits the second product to co51 to get credited for the item she didn't use a coupon on. So I did the same yesterday, and it denied my receipt saying "offer was combined with a coupon". I remember the sister sites always having that problem but I thought they had fixed it or something, but nope lol. And I just seen how cvs store coupons are now listed as "mfr" in the receipt but they're still store coupons right? So has anyone had luck with emailing them and explaining that those are not manufacturer coupon but store coupons so they can get their cash back?

And my actual $2 cover girl manufacturer coupon didn't even apply to my first item since it was unclipped.. I've also been having problems with coupons unclipping once I'm in store too and since there's no Internet connection in store I can't even check. Has anyone had this happened before? I know I clipped all my coupons Sunday morning but when I checked after coming back from Cvs both CoverGirl coupons were unclipped.

Just to update that I was able to use nuts coupon for my pickup order and paid .99 for a pouch of mixed nuts. No issues with crest either. I'm done for another month. Thanks
