CVS: What You Need To Know.

Posted by Jennifer Billy on April 17, 2009

 

The first thing you need to do before shopping at CVS is to sign up for their Extra Care Rewards Program. You can do this online at CVS.com. Then every time you make a purchase, scan your Extra Care card and you will earn Extra Care rewards or receive instant savings on items featured in the weekly ad. Also make sure to sign up for e-mail offers to receive additional savings through out the year.

Extra Care Bucks (ECB): The rewards you earn at any CVS/pharmacy when you use your Extra Care card are called Extra Care Bucks. The ECB will print on the bottom of your receipt to be used at your next purchase.

How do you earn ECB?

*Earn 2% back with every purchase in-store and online.
*Earn 1 ECB for every 2 prescriptions purchased.
Your ECB will print every 3 months on your store receipt, or you can go online to print them.
*Earn ECB on selected brands advertised in the weekly ads. These will print on your receipt immediately after qualifying purchase.

One advantage to the Extra Care program is that you can purchase up to the limit amount of the same advertised item and receive ECB for each item. Another advantage is that you do not have to purchase all qualifying items in one transaction. So if one store only has a few items left, you can purchase the rest needed at another store and your ECB will print once you have purchased the qualifying amount.

Another great advantage is that ECB are not considered manufacture coupons. So you are able to use a CVS coupon, Manufactures coupon and ECB all on the same purchase. In addition to that you can also use the coupons CVS will e-mail you, for example $5 off $30 purchase. The total for this would be before coupons. You can really stack your coupons for amazing savings.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you will always need to scan your card in order to receive your rewards. You also need to use your card to be able to redeem your ECB.
