which way or does it matter

I have 3 different transactions in mind and have 3 ways to do them. All leave me with 1.50 in ECB more than I am paying. Which would you do or does it really matter since the ECB overage is the same?

pay 10.49 with 11.99ECB (6.99 ECB, 5ECB)
pay 8.50 with 10 ECB(5ECB, 3ECB, 2ECB)
pay 11.50 with 13 ECB(8ECB, 5ECB)

pardon me if my brain is just fried (I had an econ midterm earlier this afternoon) but I'm not sure what you're asking.

the only time I order transactions in a specific order is if I'm using the ECB's from one to pay for another (like if I needed a 3.49 ECB, I would buy the smart rinse in a seperate transactinon first.) HTH.

Gotit What are you thinking?????!!

Buy some little item for yourself: a candy bar, packet of gum, SOMETHING! ANYTHING.. you've worked hard for those ECBs, don't give a penny of them away. Just add some small item to your order so that you have to pay a few cents OOP. That way, you are getting something for each and every cent associated with your ECB. Paying a few cents OOP is OK! Buy a trial size ($1) dove deodorant/or equivalent trial item AND check the candy area for 75% items, that will put you over the $1.50 mark. That way you get SOMETHING for your remaining bucks, since they don't give you any cash back. Try to use them on something! Please, you are killing me...LOL!
