Sign up and enter all your shopper cards numbers - choose your coupons to be added to your cards. When you shop the amount of the coupons is automatically added to your account. When you reach $5 you can request a payout via PayPal. Sometimes it can take as much as 30 days for the credits to show up, so be patient. ETA - when you do claim your payouts Savinstar is super quick about sending it to your PayPal account, normally I get them the same day or the next day after I put in the claim.

So, it does not deduct the coupon amount from your bill at the store, correct?

That is correct. Great thing about it is that you can use a paper q, a ZVR and a Savigstar (S*) deal all on the same item. Makes for some great money makers sometimes.

My husband just got back from HT (I'm too sick to cook dinner). At the bottom of his receipt where the specials are listed it has:
free 6 pk bottles of coke
free orville redenbacher
free HT ice cream
He also got a catalina for a free redbox movie. Not sure what triggered all that free-ness.

Very nice!...Wish that they did something like that in my area!
It's associated to a free movie night promotion that was given to select eVic members. Those who got it were notified on yesterday's Friday eVic email. Looks like targeted to those who frequent the Carolina Commons, Northwood Square, Steele Croft, The Shoppes at Ardrey Kell, Cureton and West Town Market Harris Teeter locations. Here's the link for further details: Harris Teeter - e-VIC Special Offer

Grats to those who got this very cool surprise!

I just saw on SavingStar's FB page where Josh told someone that they were having trouble loading a S* coupon to their accounts because they already had an ecoupon loaded for that same coupon from another account. I'm wondering if soon we won't be able to stack ZVRs with S* deals, I sure hope not because that would stink.

1 Trix cereal
3 Kraft BBQ sauce
2 Vanity Fair napkins

2 Jello Temptations
1 Wanchai Ferry Kung Pao Chix
2 Land O' Lakes unsalted 1/2 sticks
2 Aleve 100ct
2 Suave Naturals body wash
1 Suave kid's body wash ... I had a B2G1 from the 5/20RP, there was also a $1 ZVR wyb the kid's version, so all 3 Suave washes were a $1MM
