Philosophy behind ECBs @ CVS

[gina4333]

I bought my mother some Vitamin D which produced ECB and used them the same day. I ended up getting the wrong Vitamin for her and have to return. Will they not take it back since I already used the ECB that went along with that item.................

If I am not mistaken, your next ebc'd won't be awarded untill they are caught up. for example: I bought an item and got 5 ebc's. I bought something else on my next transaction which I used the 5 ebc's on. When I got home I realised the first item was damaged and I returned the item the next day. It was on clearence and they didn't have one I could replace it with. So on my next purchase I bought something that gave back 5 ebc's. They would not print because I was in the ebc negitive. I hope this helps...

I have a question. I have a @2.99 ECB. Can I use it to buy the Maybelling Age rewind foundation this week, which would give me back a $5 ECB? Some Walgreens manager told me that I was not allowed to use 1 RR to purchase something that would give me another RR. So I was wondering if CVS also has this kind of policy

No. you can use it like cash toward your next purchase, no matter what. You have to watch the limit on certain products, like this weeks St. Ives. It had a limit of $10 and If you reach that limit you won't recieve the 5 ebc's on the purchase of st Ives during that week.

If you are confused on the limit, that just means that you can buy any product and as much of it as you want BUT once you get up to $15 before q's, only one $5 ecb will print. And that is the limit. If you tried to do the deal again ie spend $15 on the products, $5 ecb will not print. Understand now or did I completely misunderstand what you are confused about?

Is it a store-specific thing? CVS' website says that my local Long's is a CVS store, but I have never gotten any "save $X on your next $Y purchase" coupons from Long's, and I've been shopping there for decades.

Do I understand ECB's correctly, that these are essentially coupons that are spit out at the register, based on what I've spent at the store?

Other posts give me philosophies on how to use them, but I think I need to figure out how to get them, first.

If you forget your card or in my case haven't received it yet you can use your phone number associated with the card to get the discounts? I've been waiting on my card before I went but if I can us my phone number might be heading there tomorrow. lol
