So I have a question about a raincheck I have...I have a couple coupons for the colgate and I want to do the eb deal..but I'll still be short,so I have a raincheck on the softsoap.how does that work with the eb deal,its on sale this week for $3,my raincheck is for .99cents... does it track it? does it count as $3 or .99cents? Thanks
Great scenarios! I've thought about doing $10 ones as well, for now i stick to $5 though :) I've figured a scenario to get $34+ in products for $4.69! My scenarios assume no ECBs or GCs to help start out, so its great for new CVS shoppers :) Let me know what you think!
FYI ... I did the American Greetings deal this morning along with the $2 off 3 printable and received $3 ecb's back as well. Great money maker!
For the American Greeting card deal make sure to print the coupon from cvs.com for $2 off 3 cards.. can be used on the .99 cards!
As far as I know rain checks seem to vary what they do. I have used them and they have counted toward an ECB deal and have used them and they haven't. But if it is a total $$ amount need it will only count the amount that is paid (the 99 cents in this case).
