expired extra care bucks

[Suzanne]

I let $10 in ECBs expire. I went in today and bought the $9.99 meter, and the cashier accepted my expired ECB. Thank you! I got $9.99 in ECB from my purchase and only lost a penny. I love CVS!

Good for you!

I have been told before that EBC don't expire. I don't know if its true as far as their policy reads but I have never had any trouble using them when I have let them expire.

It depends on the store. If I have expired ones, I go to the store that I know will let me use them. Some stores flat out refuse, even if they are only one day expired . AND, it can also depend on who checks you out. At my nearest CVS, there is a nasty cashier that I try to avoid cause she often treats me like I am doing something illegal by using coupons and getting things for free. She will not ever let me use expired ECBs, even tho the manager and several other cashiers at that store will allow it.

I had an expired one last week (by one day), and it beeped when I tried to use it, didn't realize til then that it had expired
Cashier called manager, and since she knew I came in all the darn time, she pushed it through.
I know one of the other cvs stores in the are will not take them, they are kinda snotty, and cringe when I try to use coupons anyway (thats the one store I try to avoid)
Guess it depends on the store, and what kind of relationship you have with your cashiers/managers, sometimes it can make the difference between using it or losing it
