I wish I had know that sooner. I threw away many a raincheck this year because my q's expired before the stock was replenished at my small store.

Almost! CVS accepts expired CRTs that were valid during the sale. For example, if you got a CRT for Advil but the store was out, you could get a RC and they would staple them together. If, however, you got a RC and then got a CRT next month, you could not use that CRT after it expired though you could use it in conjunction with the RC before the CRT expires. I have heard of stores who will let you use expired MQs but that is not in the policy. The policy only says CRTs. MQs are YMMV.
