I’m pretty sure that CVS did away w/ the $4/$20 when u sign up…think they’re doing 20% off now or something like that…
Really Jenn? I haven’t heard that and the page still reads $4 off $20 when you register. I will keep an eye on it though and update the info if they change the page to read 20% off.
I think it’s a little complicated
People used to buy 4/20s off eBay & they didn’t attach to any card. I think they were “welcome” 4/20s
They are reported not working anymore on another forum
Personal experience has been getting % off coupons each Wed. or Thurs via email. Expire following Monday.
Not as much fun as they don’t work on sale items and I find them unpredictable at checkout, depending on what CVS coupons you use and even Extra bucks. The Beauty one can reduce your discount, and I had a $5 from red machine on a sale, not discounted item but lost over $1 of my discount. Me no likey
re: deals, scan your card this week. Mom & my cards got $3 off Almay from red machine. Would make mascara in Charlene’s scenario 2/.98
Franki,
I think Jenn meant when you sign up for emails you won’t get a $4 off $20. I have it noted at the top of the post to register for emails to get that coupon. When you click the link it still advertises the $4/20 coupon though so they should still have it available 😉
CVS HAS done away with the 4.00 off of 20.00 coupon. Cashiers were ordered to ask customers for their e-mail addresses to sign up and get a 20% off coupon only so they are gone, can promise that.
All my favorite store managers and cashiers said its over with because people were using the fraudulent ones, but of course there is always those few who want to mess it up for everyone.
Amy,
You can just call the number on the back of your Extracare card. They are advertising a $4 off coupon when you register and I am sure they will continue to honor what they have clearly written out on the web site. If you just registered and did not get the $4 off coupon, just call them and I am sure they can help you.
NorCA CVS ad shows Herbal Essences shampoo or conditioner … sale $2.97 & Get Back $1 ECB. Charlene posted about a FREE Herbal Essences facebook coupon on June 29. I rec’d my FREE coupon in the mail (free up to $3.99 value) and will use it at CVS. Definite $1 MM, and maybe overage if it scans at full value.
Rec’d an email from the Beauty Club entitled $10 worth of coupons. I successfully used the $3/1 any Simple on the trial sized face wash @ $1.99 and the coupon scanned at full value. And the cashier also applied my Sent-to-Card 25%-off discount, too. Those emailed Qs exp 8/20.
Instead of buying Hershey’s Simples Pleasures @ CVS, buy them @ Target, where they have a $1/1 printable from their website. Also, in the SS 8/19 they had a $2/1 coupon for Hershey’s Simples Pleasures. And the chocolate is $2.99, so it turns out free!
Yup exactly right Laura.
I posted the details here:

now to figure out how and if I can use it with the Beauty 20% off
almost as crazy as figuring out Safeway…
