  1. When cvs has the deal where you get a cash card when u spend 30 dollars.. are you able to get another cash card if you use one to pay for the transaction?

    1. Ask at the store to be sure, but I'm under the impression you can. Using an ECB doesn't keep you from getting more ECB's so I don't see why the cash card would be different.

    2. Hi Jeri & Anonymous,

      Yes you can use the $10 Cash card and still receive the print out for a new $10 Cash card. I have been at CVS way to much over the last two weeks =) HTH

    3. Thanks, Janet

      Did you see coupon.girls question on SNS Weekly Deals. She was questioning if the Instant Savings on Kelogg's Special K would affect the purchase requirement for the rebate. What's you're insight on using them together?

    4. Hi Jeri & coupon.girl

      There is no mention of a required amount in regards to discounts/coupons on the actual mail in form. I do not see why the discount would cause a rejection. I do plan on doing the GC deal and use a $5 ConAgra cat from last week. If I get to stop in SNS tomorrow I will ask. HTH :-)
