I am still confused on this---do I need to save my receipts to use the ecb, or is that done with the red card????

At the bottom of the receipt, assuming you bought something that earned ECBs, a separate little "coupon" will print saying you earned $x.xx of ECBs. That little coupon is all you need when you make your next purchase...it's almost as good as cash (it has some restrictions listed on it for things like stamps, cigarattes, etc.). You will want to use your red card on all your transactions so that they can track your purchases and issue you some extra ECBs at the end of the quarter.Originally posted by mom-from-missouri View PostComment

I tried to use a $3/15 the other day and it wouldn't work due to other coupons used after it. I should say it worked but then no other coupons would work. the manager said that corp was changing the rules. the cashier agreed with me but he couldn't do anything.Comment

Your receipt prints off, then a dashed line, then your ECB's. It's like a receipt that spends like money (if you google ECB and hit the image button I'm sure you'll find one). So you tear your ECBs off of your receipt. When you want to pay for something later, you hand over your ECB and it is deducted from your total. Your ECBs are associated with your red card, so each time you wish to spend your ECBs you have to present your red card. Anytime you shop at CVS give your red card because you earn 2% on all purchases.Originally posted by mom-from-missouri View PostComment

I am so excited about this CVS program! I just found out about it and I can't wait to try it out! It seems like it really holds potential for a lot of savings! I heard Mylanta was on sale this week and with coupons you could get a $1.36 overage on your ECBs! This is so neat!Comment

Buy other stuff with that purchase b/c they won't give you $ back on ECBs and you don't want to waste a penny!Originally posted by flipchick1127 View PostComment

Well, the deal is that you get $3.00 in ECB's when you purchase the Mylanta. Mylanta just happened to be on sale this week for something like $3.66. Then, there is a printable coupon online for $2.00 off one bottle of Mylanta. So, you only pay $1.66 but you get $3.00 in ECBs to use on your next purchase (I am not sure of the exact numbers, but these ones are close). So, you end up getting more money toward your next purchase than you spent on this purchase. Of course, like you said, you only get the ECBs if you go back and buy something else. But if you buy something that gives you ECBs each time, you only end up spending money the first time you go!
By the way, I like your signature, Snoopy!Comment

I use and prefer the Rite Aid program, which is truly free, nothing out of pocket except taxes and you get cash back instead of being limited to store credit. The CVS program is too much of a hassle for me, especially the fact that they expire in only a month. I read on another board that if you have $5 ECB and buy something that's $3.50, then you don't automatically have a store credit of $1.50 left, you simply lose the change? Ick if that's the case.Comment

Some areas don't have a riteaid. But Walgreens is another option for rebates if you don't want to mess with cvs extra bucks. Walgreens has a easy saver rebates program, and if you opt to put the rebate on a walgreens giftcard, you get an extra 10% back. I'm taking a break from both at the moment...Pretty much stocked up on toothpaste, soap and razors, and money is tight at the moment, so not even bothering with it at least for a few more weeks.Comment

Oh it does! I've been "CVSing" for about a year now, it can really rack up savings.Originally posted by flipchick1127 View Post
I'm a big couponer, (like, I have 2 1" binders of coupons) LOL, and CVS is where I started...Comment

I was told that I could receive only $40.00 a year in bonus bucks! I was told that it was a govenment rule. All the sales using bonus bucks I can not use. How is it fixed for someone who uses the CVS pharmacy and store and can not receive the bonus bucks as advertised? Has anyone else come across this?Comment

I have never heard of this. I don't do them much anymore but I know in the past I have received lots more than that in a year's time. maybe they are talking about the pharmacy ones?Originally posted by Sue Barnes View PostComment

I have been doing this for a couple of years now, and also Walgreen's program. It does add up!
I have also started buying items I would not normally buy that are free after the rebate bucks to give as gifts or donate. I have a box in my closet I put what I am not going to personally use all in until needed for a gift or to donate.
So far since Christmas, I have received 2 free blood glucose monitors--gave one to a lady at church who was just told she was diabetic, and donated the other one (and got a tax ded receipt for it), 2 lap blankets (marked down to $1, were free after I cashed in my bucks), various perfumes (gave as Christmas presents), 3 automatic air fresheners--on sale for $6, I had $4 and $5 off manufactures coupons to combine it with, then got bucks back on one of them.
Also, our Dollar General takes coupons--so I get free Colgate toothpaste there. Colgate puts out $1 off coupons, and DG marks Colgate down to $1 about 1 every 4-6 weeks. I stock up then. Same with my shampoo and deodorant. Just buy the smaller sizes and the coupon covers most of the cost.Comment

Yeah, this really does work. It's always shocking to get stuff for free, or even get reward dollars plus products and not spend any money!Comment
