Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT

Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Single Check Rebates (SCRs) are a monthly program A booklet is available at the store and some are advertised in the weekly circulars The deals are also online
SCRs are a great way to convert your +UP rewards to cash and often a Money Maker when you have a manufacturer or Rite Aid coupon on the product or if you are using a $$$ Rite Aid coupon on the transaction
You need to sign up for SCRs to start Single Check Rebates
Claiming SCRs is easy The key is to keep your receipts And dont submit for payment until you are sure that you have entered all receipts for that month Once submitted you cannot add more products

Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Single Check Rebates (SCRs) are a monthly program A booklet is available at the store and some are advertised in the weekly circulars The deals are also online
SCRs are a great way to convert your +UP rewards to cash and often a Money Maker when you have a manufacturer or Rite Aid coupon on the product or if you are using a $$$ Rite Aid coupon on the transaction
You need to sign up for SCRs to start Single Check Rebates
Claiming SCRs is easy The key is to keep your receipts And dont submit for payment until you are sure that you have entered all receipts for that month Once submitted you cannot add more products

Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Kitty CVS Coupon Center Video
Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rite Aid CRT1) Each month Rite Aid offers special rebates on
certain items They are marked in the weekly sales flyers as having a Single Check Rebate available and the entire list for the month is available at httpsriteaidrebatepluscom The Web site allows you to view all of the available rebates and make a shopping list which I think is a cool feature
Please note that like many other rebate programs the Rite Aid month is not the same as the calendar month You need to make your purchases within the allotted time frame each month which is detailed on that Web site
Rite Aid CRT
2) You see a rebate you want and you go to the store and you buy the item The next step is to HANG ONTO THE RECEIPT
3) Go to that same Web site from step one and sign up for a Single Check Rebate account It asks for your e-mail address and mailing address so that Rite Aid can send you checks You will only have to create an account once After that you use your login and password to access your account
Rite Aid CRT4) After youve created an account you can log in and enter the information requested from each of your receipts that qualify for a rebate Rite Aid will then verify the receipt and mark each qualifying rebate as waiting for you to request check I really like this feature because you will get credit for ALL the rebates for which youve qualified even if you didnt know a rebate existed
5) You can enter as many receipts as you want in a given month-long period Once youre ready click request check Your rebates will be totaled and you will be mailed a check within about two weeks So you get all your rebates on one single check

Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

SCRs are a great way to convert your +UP rewards to cash and often a Money Maker when you have a manufacturer or Rite Aid coupon on the product or if you are using a $$$ Rite Aid coupon on the transaction
You need to sign up for SCRs to start Single Check Rebates
Claiming SCRs is easy The key is to keep your receipts And dont submit for payment until you are sure that you have entered all receipts for that month Once submitted you cannot add more products

Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at
Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Kitty CVS Coupon Center Video
Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

You need to sign up for SCRs to start Single Check Rebates
Claiming SCRs is easy The key is to keep your receipts And dont submit for payment until you are sure that you have entered all receipts for that month Once submitted you cannot add more products
Shopping at
Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday

Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter

Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Store Coupon Policy
Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item Free coupons or ldquooffers at the registerrdquo (OARrsquos) are unearned and issued to you as a valued member of the CVSpharmacy ExtraCare program These coupons take the form of ldquoopen endedrdquo coupons such as $3 off $15 or a certain dollar amount off a specific item In any given transaction our registers will allow only one ldquoopen endedrdquo coupon per transaction CVS Extra Buck coupons are earned when you make a qualifying purchase These print out instantly at the register upon reaching the threshold for the offer You can use more than one Extra Buck coupon provided the purchase threshold has been met for each offer amount on a per-transaction basis
Store Coupon Policy
CVSpharmacy does accept manufacturersrsquo coupons that have been obtained from manufacturer sponsored andor authorized Web sites The coupon should be complete and contain a bar code that can be scanned at the register If the coupon does not scan the cashier should politely inform you that we cannot accept your coupon We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet CVSpharmacy will not accept offers printed from unauthorized Internet postings or reproductions copies or facsimiles
We do not accept competitorsrsquo coupons for front store items We feel that our sales and ExtraCare program are comparable if not better than any sales or coupons offered by our competitors We also do not accept any expired coupons CVS or otherwise We do not ldquodoublerdquo or ldquotriplerdquo coupons
Store Coupon Policy

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Store Coupon Policy
Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item Free coupons or ldquooffers at the registerrdquo (OARrsquos) are unearned and issued to you as a valued member of the CVSpharmacy ExtraCare program These coupons take the form of ldquoopen endedrdquo coupons such as $3 off $15 or a certain dollar amount off a specific item In any given transaction our registers will allow only one ldquoopen endedrdquo coupon per transaction CVS Extra Buck coupons are earned when you make a qualifying purchase These print out instantly at the register upon reaching the threshold for the offer You can use more than one Extra Buck coupon provided the purchase threshold has been met for each offer amount on a per-transaction basis
Store Coupon Policy
CVSpharmacy does accept manufacturersrsquo coupons that have been obtained from manufacturer sponsored andor authorized Web sites The coupon should be complete and contain a bar code that can be scanned at the register If the coupon does not scan the cashier should politely inform you that we cannot accept your coupon We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet CVSpharmacy will not accept offers printed from unauthorized Internet postings or reproductions copies or facsimiles
We do not accept competitorsrsquo coupons for front store items We feel that our sales and ExtraCare program are comparable if not better than any sales or coupons offered by our competitors We also do not accept any expired coupons CVS or otherwise We do not ldquodoublerdquo or ldquotriplerdquo coupons
Store Coupon Policy

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at

When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone

How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

We do not accept competitorsrsquo coupons for front store items We feel that our sales and ExtraCare program are comparable if not better than any sales or coupons offered by our competitors We also do not accept any expired coupons CVS or otherwise We do not ldquodoublerdquo or ldquotriplerdquo coupons

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

CVS Extra Care Card
The CVS ExtraCare card allows you to take advantage of their Extra Care Buck Program as well as receive in store coupons via snail mail or email
You can obtain a CVS ExtraCare card from any store just ask for it at the register They will give you a short form to fill out and then give you your card You can also register for one online if you are willing to wait a week or two to get it in the mail
Shopping at
If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

If you filled out the form at the store you can go online and register your card with all your information or you can go ahead and call CVS customer service (1-800-SHOP-CVS) and ask them to register your card so that you can see your account online The advantage of seeing it online is you can check your spending there You can also use it to purchase items online and get discounts and have it count toward your spending for the quarter (more on that in a moment) You cannot get ECBs when you shop online
Shopping at
The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

The ECB program is tied to your CVS card If you forget your card at home the cashier can manually enter in your phone number It is best to link your card to a cell phone
Shopping at
How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12

How the Extra Care Bucks Program Works
First ECBs are earned through promotions such as ldquoBuy this product receive $$ in ECBrdquo Sometimes the promotion says ldquobuy $X of this product and get $Y in ECBsrdquo The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons So if you have to purchase $10 worth you can do that and then have $10 of coupons and still get the ECB promised You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction unless specifically stated in that promotion In fact they can be bought anytime at any store as long as the purchase is made during the time period the promotion is valid Your receipt will print at the bottom and keep track of how much you have toward a spend $X get $Y promotion
Shopping atSecond at the end of each quarter CVS rewards itrsquos customers by giving them 2 back of the total amount spent during the quarter The 2 is calculated after coupons and is given in the form of an ECB You will see at the bottom of your CVS receipt a total amount spent for the quarter It will say ldquoSpringSummerFallWinter Spending is $ XXXXrdquo Multiply this number by 02 and yoursquoll get an approximation of what yoursquore getting back At the end of the quarter you can print your Quarterly Rewards ECBs from CVScom scan your card at the Red Machine (price scanner) and have them print there or they will print at the bottom of your receipt with the first purchase you make in the new quarter
Shopping at
Third $1 ECB is earned for every 2 prescriptions filled CVS The $1 is reflected in your quarterly ECB total Always scan that card at the pharmacy counter
Fourth if you buy the green bag tag for $99 and have the cashier scan it every time you use your reusable shopping bag youll receive $1 on every 4th scan
Fifth if you join the CVS Beauty Club youll receive $5 ECB on every $50 spent on qualifying beauty purchases and $3 ECB on your birthday
Shopping at
Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Your ECBs will print immediately when you have earned it at the bottom of your register receipt (Except for the quarterly spending Watch your receipt for an announcement of when the quarterly ECB will print This is usually about 2 weeks after the quarter ends Once they start printing when you make a purchase the ECB will print at the end like normal)
ECB coupons can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store Please note that the excluded items are prescriptions alcohol tobacco and Gift Cards In some areas this also includes dairy
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed
Shopping at
When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

When you are shopping for the monthly sales many times the ECBs are not ldquoturned onrdquo right away on the first of the month Always call customer service if this is the case when you make a purchase and ECBs do not print
Shopping atWhat are CRT Coupons
Most stores should now have the CRT coupon scanner center in the front of their store (most stores have them located in the front) Make sure to scan your card every time you visit You never know whats going to pop out Also continue scanning your card until the screen tells you no more coupons are available
These can be very general ~$1 of any pain reliever or these can be more specific~ $2 off of a $10 Tylenol purchase You may also receive CVS coupons such as $4 off of your $20 purchase on your next CVS purchase These can be used in addition to your ECBs CRT coupons can also be combined with mfg coupons
Both ECB and CRT coupons are specific to your CVS account which means you cannot use them without your specific CVS card

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo
Shopping at
How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping atOverage at CVS
CVS registers are programmed to not allow overage If you buy 5 Colgate Toothpastes on sale for $125 each and plan to use 5 $1501 coupons the first 4 will scan without a problem However the last coupon will beep and the register will not accept the coupon The register will display a message to the cashier stating that the coupon has ldquoexceeded limitrdquo and it will prompt the cashier to modify the coupon to the max value (which is included in the prompt) In this case the last coupon will be modified to 25 cents since
5 items $125 each = $625- 4 coupons $1501 = $600Difference is = $025
Therefore the register will not let the last coupon to exceed the $025 ldquobalancerdquo

How do I use $$$ CVS Coupons
When you receive a $$$ cvs coupon for example a $4$20 CVS purchase your total must be $20 before your coupons
You can not stack these meaning if your total is $22 and you have a $5 off of $15 you cant use a coupon to get your $22 down to $17 and then use another one to get your $17 down to $12
Some storescashiers will let you use multiple $X off of $XX coupons IF your total is higher than the $XX combined Ex If you have 2 $5 off of $15 coupons your total must be $30 or higher before coupons
If you are able to use two $X off of $XX coupons the barcodes must be different You cannot use two of the same barcode coupons at the same time
$X off $XX coupons can be used in conjunction with other coupons manufacturer coupons store coupons and ECBs
Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items
Shopping at
Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Shopping atUsing coupons on clearanced items
Coupons can be used on clearance However if your store has to enter in clearance items manually (will show up on receipt as generic ldquotaxable itemldquo rather than a specific item) they will have to enter in the coupons manually as well because the register will not recognize an item to apply the coupon to as the product was entered in a generic format
Clearance items do NOT produce ECBs even if the sale states any products YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) whether or not the cashier will print ECBs manually for clearance items

Bag Tags
For those of you who go green during your shopping trip and bring in your own reusable shopping bag ~ be sure to pick up one of the CVS green bag tags The initial cost is $99 and these can be found for purchase at the registers
Green Bag Tags can be scanned once per day (some areas give credit once per store per day) and for every fourth scan you will receive $1 ECB
Green Bag Tags are not attached to a particular ExtraCare card Bag Tags are interchangeable - meaning that more than one person can share the same Bag Tag multiple Bag Tags can be used on the same ExtraCare account It does not matter which physical Bag Tag is scanned you will simply get one credit towards the $1 ECB for each daily scan
Shopping atCVS Rainchecks
If a product in the circular is not in stock get a raincheck If it is an ECB deal make sure the deal is listed on the raincheck When you buy the product(s) for the ECB deal the cashier will use the deal to push through the ECB One great thing about rainchecks at CVS is they never expire
If you are doing an ECB deal that requires you to buy multiple items in order to receive the ECB make sure you indicate that to the cashier so they can put that information on your raincheck
Further if youve purchased a few products already but not quite enough to generate the ECB keep your receipt along with a copy of the ad and your raincheck The cashiers can force the ECB when you redeem your raincheck for the remainder of your items

Offers valid on in-store and Rite Aid Online Store purchases
Enter your receipts on this website throughout the program month When you put in your receipt information (transaction etc) all products purchased on that receipt that are eligible for SCRs automatically load its pretty cool Click on Detailed Status at any time to see all your rebates
Shopping at Rainchecks
Rebates on +UP dealsRequest a raincheck if a +UP deal product is out of stock Rite Aid does not manually print +UPs (unlike CVS where the cashier can manually force a ECB to print) The raincheck should be written as the cost net of the +UP But cashiers (and managers too) are not consistent in handling +UP rainchecks If the cashier will only write the sale price of the product (but not information about the +UP reward) even after pointing it out to himher then cut out the picture and price showing the +UP from the ad and attach it to the raincheck Then when you use the raincheck point out to subtract the +UP amount
Shopping at
Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item

Rebate Rain Check PolicyRequest a raincheck if a SCR item is out of stock The cashier may resist may say its on the truck coming in tomorrow If you insist they must write the raincheck (occasionally you may need to get customer service on the line to encourage the cashier to write the raincheck)
When purchasing rebate items with a Rain Check make sure the cashier adjusts the price as Rain Check and not Sale Price If they do return and rebuy the item
