What to know at CVS

If you’re new to CVS, ECB stands for “Extra (Care) Bucks.” Here’s what to remember:

1. ECB are store coupons and can only be used at CVS. They are also tied to your own CVS card, so if you get an ECB or store coupon that prints out at the price scanner or register, it will only work for your card.
2. Always scan your card at their in-store price scanner, because bonus coupons print out there when you do so. Keep scanning until it says no coupons available, because sometimes it prints more than one set.
3. Sign up for their ExtraCare emails with your card number and you’ll get a bonus 20% off printable coupon, plus random emailed coupons throughout the year.
4. At CVS, % off coupons and $/$$ store coupons can be used before any other coupons.
5. ECB always roll, meaning you can use them on any other ECB-generating item and they’ll still generate new ECB.
6. Limits listed in the ad are per card.
7. View and print the CVS coupon policy here.
