Default Question on ECB

if I purchase 2 items which will give me extra bucks in 1 transaction, will those extra bucks print out in 2 separate coupons or they will add up to give a total? i.e. say item A gives 2 ECB, item B gives 5 ECB......then will it be 2 separate ECB or they will add to a single one of 7 ECB?

Thanks

Each different ECB product deal will print its own ECB coupon. If a particular ECB product deal has a limit of more than one, and you qualify for more than one of those deals in the same transaction, the ECB coupon for that deal will have a value that is the multiple of that particular deal. Example:
Deal A gives $2 ECB and the limit is 2 deals
Deal B gives $5 ECB and the limit is 3 deals
Deal C gives $3 ECB and the limit is 2 deals

In a single transaction, you purchase:
2 deals of Deal A
2 deals of Deal B
1 deal of Deal C

At the end of your CRT you will receive:
ECB for $4 from Deal A ($2 x 2 qualifying items)
ECB for $10 from Deal B ($5 x 2 qualifying items)
ECB for $3 from Deal C ($3 x 1 qualifying item)

I personally don't care for higher value ECBs since my purchasing habits do not lend to spending the larger amounts. In the above scenario, I probably would have done Deal B in two separate transactions, and used the $5 ECB I earned for Deal B in the first transaction to pay for the second item of Deal B that I purchased in a second transaction. This keeps my OOP lower, but also lowers the total ECB $$$ I carry at any given time.

Some people can work magic with the high value ECBs, but it's not for me. Right now I'm sitting on 3 $10 ECBs (Aveeno deal, sunglasses deal) and wondering how I'm going to use them. Probably on the cologne that DH likes.

ok, so if I am understanding this correctly - then my first CVS ecb should look as follows (next weeks deals)

pantiliners .89 (limit 1)
pencils/sharpeners .99 (limit 3)
cvs scotch tape 1.49 (limit 3)

total oop: 8.33
total ecb: 8.33

and the ecb will all print together? or will i get 3 ecbs 1 for .89, 1 for 2.97 and 1 for 4.47?

I too am wanting to start CVS rolling, been a wags head but the deals are really stinking over the next few weeks. CVS is further away but I can make it happen.
