Just a mom, if you purchased the right items and had them scan your card, the ECBs should have printed. Double check your receipt and call the Extra Care # on the back of your card. They should be able to help you. Good luck!

I just signed up with CVS yesterday and did my first purchse. The receipt did not print off anything about the ECB’s I’ve received . . . should it have done that, or do I wait for a quarterly print out?

Leah Belle, I don’t think so. You’ll need to read the fine print, but I believe that it’s a one-time use.

I am a stickler for following CVS’ guidelines. I appreciate their extending the good deals and don’t want to abuse it. There’s a fair amount of CVS abuse out there and lots of illegal coupon posting. So, please use wisdom.

SB, I’m not sure. You would have known that when you got your receipt because the ECBs would print at the end. I’m thinking that that number is referring to how much you’ve spent in qualifying purchases this quarter. In addition to what you earn on your receipt, CVS gives you a certain percentage back in ECBs every quarter.

Anybody else have an idea?

I’ll have to go to the car to get my card and see….

I, too, am new to this. And have a question: I logged onto http://www.cvs.com and checked my account (it gave me a $4 off of $20 purchase coupon right off the bat!) and it says under ECB balances “41.29″…does that mean I have $41.29 to SPEND?? Is that right? I spent $51.00 and got $41.00 back??

To steal a slogan from wicked McD’s, I’m lovin’ it!

The good deals are all gone when I get there. I’ve tried different store and all the freebies are always out of stock.

I know what you mean, Jen. This is my first July doing the Drugstore Game, and some of the more experienced folks have mentioned that it is because so many people are on vacation during the summer months that the deals aren’t as great.

The deals are not too good this month, especially for the men, lol. I JUST went to CVS for the first time in a month to make a purchase before my ECB’s expired. I just haven’t been impressed lately.
