Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals
- Ibotta -- Powers the Therabreath rebate in Transaction 5.
- Fetch -- Stacks the small 800-point rebate on Herbal Essence Mousse in Transaction 2. Save Fetch points for $5 CVS gift cards to maximize point value.
- CVS ExtraCare -- The free CVS rewards account that powers the Extrabucks engine. Sign up at the register or in the CVS app -- no purchase required.
New to CVS Couponing?
- Sign up for ExtraCare in the CVS app first. It is free and you cannot earn Extrabucks without it.
- Clip every digital coupon before you shop. Open the CVS app, browse the Deals tab, and tap "Send to Card" on every coupon listed in the breakdown -- they will not auto-apply otherwise.
- Check your personalized CVS Store Coupons. These are the Best Customer Bonus coupons that print or appear in your app based on your purchase history. The Dial $3 off 2 in this breakdown is a Best Customer Bonus example.
- Do the transactions in order. The whole point of a roll is using each transaction's Extrabucks on the next one. Skip the order and the math breaks.
- Watch your Extrabuck expiration dates. Extrabucks typically expire 30 days after they print. Roll them as soon as possible to avoid losing them.
- Pay with a different tender if needed. Some CVS shoppers use a small running balance on a CVS gift card so they always have a way to cover the small out of pocket costs without dipping into a credit card every transaction.
Tips for This Week's CVS Run
- Six transactions in one trip is intense -- pace yourself. Have your phone open to the CVS app the entire time. Confirm each Extrabuck prints before moving to the next transaction.
- Print receipts will track your roll. If an Extrabuck does not print, walk to customer service before continuing -- sometimes a printer issue is the culprit and they can rescue the Extrabuck on the spot.
- The Dial Best Customer Bonus is the wildcard. If your account does not have it, skip Transaction 4 entirely. The roll still works without it.
- Therabreath plus Ibotta is the cleanest free play. $5 Extrabuck offsets the price, $3 Ibotta and $3 new Extrabuck come back -- net positive on rebates.
- Stack Fetch on every CVS receipt. Even small point totals add up. Use Fetch points toward $5 CVS gift cards for the best per-point value.
