Tonight I did the Gillette deal. Bought 3 of the body washes 4.99 (using 3 $1 Q) and wasn't sure if I would get the deal or not since the deal was Spend $15 and I had only spent $14.97. In the past, my CVS has force printed ECBs in this type of situation (they are very nice). I thought if it didn't print, I would go back and buy the 99 cent Gillette shave cream. Well, it printed! And what's more, my receipt shows I spent 14.97 towards that deal and need to spend .03 more to get it - limit 1.

So - what's going on? If I spend another .03, will I get another $5? Why did it print if it didn't show as me getting the deal? I did this in one transaction so there should not be an issue with their system adding anything up.

Sometimes CVS is kind enough to program their system to print the ECBs when the purchases are a few pennies short of reaching the required purchase amount. They'll do that when many of the products in the ECB have prices that end in $.99 and make reaching that required $ limited difficult without buying an additional item to push the total way over the required amount.

I'm a little surprised that they did it with the Gillette deal since there are items priced that add up to a total of just over $15.

You will not receive another $5 ECB if you buy a $.99 shave cream. You've reached your limit for the deal and your ECB has printed.



Last week they did ths same thing with the Dove deal so the ECB printed at $19.96 instead of the required $20 (The Dove shampoo/conditioner was priced at $4.99 ea and would have required an additional purchase of an item to go over the $20 mark...)


CVS doesn't always do this -- it's a really nice bonus when they do.

i wish my cvs did that..i did the nivea deal a month or so ago, and had spent 14.97 and I had to go back and buy another item to get my 5 dollars back. Lucky you all who have the stores who will round up for you!
