Here are a couple things you should know:
- %-off coupons cannot be used on items that are on sale; they can only be used on regular priced items
- BUT %-off coupons CAN be used on regular-priced items that trigger ECBs
- For an ECB to print, you only have to spend 98% of the required amount, and that amount is before all store and manufacturer coupons
- %-off coupons are a one-time use only, so you have to buy everything in one transaction
- If you haven't already done so, create an account at www.cvs.com and link your extra care card. Click on "ExtraCare" and then click on "show account details" - make sure you are subscribed to receive ExtraCare emails.
- CVS typically sends emails on Thursdays. You have until Sunday to print that coupon or send it to your card. It will expire 4 days after printing
- Beauty Bucks print at the coupon center in store (also called the "red box"). You earn $5 for every $50 you spend in beauty products (so 10% back) - and the spend is BEFORE all coupons!! Beauty spend is not reflected immediately on your receipt - it takes 48 hours for it to show and print.
