I did my usual Saturday evening run. Two transactions- I had no ECBs to start with:

#1

Robitussin (2) 11.00
advil pm (2) 9.00
glade reed diffuser 6.99

glade Q -3.00
robitussin Qs -4.00
advil qs -3.00
5/25 -5.00
total 11.99 plus tax got $10 ECB Wyeth and 6.99 ECBs Glade

#2

4 12 packs coke 13.00
2 fun size bags Skittles BOGO 3.50
M&M fun size 6.00
m&m fun size 3.50 (smaller size)
7 theater candy boxes 7.00

ECBs from tx #1 -16.99
$1/2 fun size candies (2) -2.00

total 14.01 plus tax

earned $3 ECBs for Coke and should have gotten $5 for the candy, but the bottom of my receipt said:

candy

amt toward this reward 7
amount needed 13

and right beneath that it said

amt toward this reward 13
amount needed 7

It was counting some of the candy toward last week and some towards this week's deal, I guess. I asked the manager - who was so nice!- and he said it was probably because both ads are in the system. He then said it shouldn't matter and that he would force the ECBs for me. So make sure you check the bottom of your receipt if your candy deal isn't working out the way you want it.
