Coupon Lingo

[Bluedodge]

Could you please tell me if IQ is for internet coupons?

Thanks for any help

I'm sorry i was serious IQ, IP was confusing to me. I'm very new at the lingo. From what i have been reading, I felt no stupid question would be made fun of.

who made fun? I don't see the post?

I probably just misunderstood. You could guess i'm very new to forums, threads, the whole lot. I really don't know my way around too much in this area for sure. But hope to be a very quick learner

Thank you!

What does ECB stand for when referring to "free stuff"....? Item price - coupon = ___ - ECB = FREE

???
Anyone??

ECB's are at CVS Stores only. It stands for Extra Care Buck, they print off at the bottom of the receipt and are as good as cash. If you watch the CVS flyers and snag the instore sales flyers the ads will tell you which products will print ECB's and how many you will get. Look for ads that say "FREE", which means if the product costs say $3.49 you will get $3.49 in ECB's at the end of the transaction. Please note that you will still have to pay $3.49 for the product, but now you have a ticket worth $3.49 for anything else in the store. The trick at CVS is to pile all of your ECB earners into one transaction, and all the non earners into a 2nd transaction and pay for your second one with the ECB's from the first.

THAT makes total sense!! Thank you so much...it was driving me nuts. I have a CVS card, but never paid attention to what it was called.....Does Walgreens have a savings card?? I looked on the website and it says "Rewards Card" but there was no place on the site to get one. Wasn't sure if it was the same thing as the CVS card or not......

Anyway- HUGE help- thanks again!

Walgreens doesn't have a savings card. They have Register Rewards (which you will see here as RR) that print out for certain purchases that can be used towards your next purchase.
