Thank you guys for your positive guidance with this CRT issue I had today! From now on I will be splitting my transactions and rolling ECBS.. also changing the store that I frequently shop at. I hope you guys are catching some great savings! Have a wonderful week! 😊🙌🏾
I shop between 3 stores. They never know when I'm stopping in because I hate to get there and a cashier changes the policy to fit their own wording.
also, sometimes the crt's are coded incorrectly. When you looked at the screen, the first 2 out of the 4 crt's had the override button next to it. This is for them to look at your cart to see you bought the items and apply the crt's.
@@aryankanthety2506 yes indeed. That's why I have my cashier turn their screen so I can see it and if they don't come off right, we start over. There's a certain order to scanning and we do it until we get it right. I just step aside if there's a line and wait until no one is behind me.
New programming...my store too. Now you have to hit the threshold ($30 ie: L'Oreal promo) AFTER your manufacturer coupons and CRT's come off. So I started shopping between 2 stores now.
This happened to me before. I learned that it’s better to split the transaction too. Although it takes longer. Because I tend to go in and out the lines if there’s a lot of ppl waiting but other than that I think the transaction is much smoother. 😊
You did a great job, most of all you didn't let the new changes get you down. You took a minute to rethink everything and went back for a great comeback! #Genius
It’s the threshold coupons that don’t play nice together . The funny thing is they work together if you have your crts on your card and not printed. New subscriber btw I love that you showed the [real] ❤️ we have all been there honestly.
Awwww..bless your heart.. You still persevered.. I'm skeptical about couponing at cvs because I've seen many struggle. Thank you for sharing!!!❤️❤️❤️
at least the cashier was nice about it. I'm glad you showed the bad time because it shows we aren't the only ones that get frustrated or overwhelmed
I learned the hard way. Just separate your deals out. I never did and I always ended paying more then I felt like I should and all of the CRT’s would never trigger when I did all my deals at the same time.
Smaller transactions is the the best. You did good, you turned your deal into a positive and your frustrated? You can always go back
When you said you just wanted to walk out, I completely felt your pain & frustration! My crts haven't been working like they should lately either. And last week, I had a cart FULL of what would've been MM deals, and the cashier wouldn't even ring me up! She told me that none of the ecbs would print because the next week's deals would apply. But I know for a fact that that store's deals did not early activate until midnight ( it was 10pm at a 24-hr store & I scanned everything & the prices matched the ad). Plus, I actually shopped early activation the previous Saturday, and it didn't work until 12:01am. I had TONS of coupons & really great CRTs that were going to expire that day, and the promos also. So,I put a couple items on the counter, wanting to at least TRY one deal, but she refused to ring anything up, rudely arguing that nothing would work. She kept telling me, "It's ok, I'll put everything back on the shelf." I had spent 2 hours in the store and wanted to purchase all my items, not put them back! She wouldn't let me buy anything, not even a couple clearance items with no ecbs attached. I was beyond furious!! She had a big coat on when I walked up, so I'm not sure if she was going on break or about to clock out, but either way, it was obvious that she just did NOT want to do her job. I'm going back to speak with the manager, but I'm not sure what he can really do for me now. The deals aren't the same this week, my q are expired, & my crts aren't great like last week. I think I may start shopping Walgreens instead!
Omg the same thing happened to me yesterday! Bad day at cvs. Evwn with smaller transactions I had the same issue. But my cashier was really mad and defensive despite how nice I was. Definitely better to happily walk away and find another store rather than argue. Thanks for sharing ❤
I did the same transaction with the tp and mw and mine went through with no problem!! She didn't know what she was doing!!! Also smaller transactions makes it easier.to identity problems!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! NEVER GIVE UP ON SAVIMG!!!
I know how you feel it has happened to me before and is so frustrated, I use to go to two different cvs but one of them, cashiers don’t help me at all and makes it even harder for me to coupon there, and the other cvs cashiers are so nice and try to help me all the time so even thro they are limited on products I prefer to go with them and all my deals run better there. Thank you for video and for your time🌸
🌸By the way I’m new to your channel☺️💜
You should have been able to get everything you had in your cart. No new policy. So sorry that cashier gave you such confusing info. My transactions went smooth. You still werked it hunty!! Yaaaas!!! Thanx for sharing the good and bad!! You just earned a 👍🏽 and a subcriber! Keep bringin us dem videos!💖
I had the same shit happen to me a few weeks ago! I left in tears. But keep your head up! I always do smaller transactions!
Thanks for this informative video. I've been doing this for years. And yes, stores are making it harder to use coupons. Dollar Tree being the worst.
I bought 2 of the toothpastes and 3 mouthwashes. I had a $4 off 2 printable and a $5 off 3 printable. A $2 off 10 crt and paid with$8 ECB's not a problem. Sometimes it is best to split up the deals. Going to try the L'Oreal by Wed. You are doing a wonderful job and thank you for all your help with couponing.
Great deals! I just started sharing my hauls ;)
Wow...just wow...😱switch stores. I call b.s on her. I always split my $20,$25,or $30 transactions so I can watch them. Thanks for sharing! There isn't one of us couponers who dont have an off day or deal with a rude cashier. Hopefully next week will be a positive experience!🤗💐💝
Yeah I've had that happen. When it's that many deals it's best to break it up unless your using a purchase based CRT. Totally get your frustration.
That cashier was full of crap! I did the Loreal deal, the soft soap, the soup, and the toothpaste and mouth deal. I also did the NYX deal. Next time just split your transactions up and roll your ecb's. If a cashier is difficult, go to another store then call customer care and report it. Sorry this trip was such a hassle for you hun. ❤️
I keep my transactions small and when I need a filler I add to it. Ever since I started doing that I haven’t had a problem ... this week I did the garnier, Colgate , TP, MW and the halls all in one and didn’t have a problem and used all crt’s and mfr cpns it all went smooth 😉👍🏼. Literally it doesn’t matter anymore how they scan the crt’ or the mfr cpns anymore sometimes it’s the cashier that gives us the frustration.
So I shopped at CVS today as well and I only purchased the toothpaste. I made 2 separate purchases with my $1 off coupons (didn't have the $4 one) and used the second ECB to pay for the second one. For each item I will use the coupon right behind it to make sure it works. Hope it works on the next run!
Coupons count like cash so I don’t know why they told you that . Yes girl change stores !!
Definitely split up into smaller transactions. Just watched another couponer and she did the Colgate deal and the Soft Soap deal and they both worked fine. She got 2 toothpaste and 2 mouthwash, used 3 paper coupons and the $4/$14 and it worked perfect. Got 2 Soft Soap, used 2 paper, a $2 instant, and a $2/$6 and didn’t have an issue there either.
This is not a new coupon policy, Meek. CVS has always done it that way. It's why CRTs say "pending validation" and nothing comes off until they hit the button. Idk what that lady was talking about.
CVS always takes the MFCs off first so your MW CRT not working makes perfect sense to me. You would be at 5.98 before the CRT and for Threshold CRTs if it says 6 bucks, it gotta be 6 or more no 98% rule here.
No idea why your body wash CRT didn't work though, you would've been at 8.22 before the CRT ran validation.
It could also have been cause you did such a large transaction. That l'oreal deal has deals nested in them so it really should have been done on it's own. What's crazy is that everyone had trouble with the 4 off 15 l'oreal hair care CRT and you didn't.
In any case, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You're still an amazing couponer. And thanks for showing the good bad and ugly!
Great info. Maybe smaller transactions are a better route.
Just want to clarify... the instant savings coupon that everyone got starting today (10 off 30) will come off as soon as you hit 30 in qualifying purchases or is it after all paper, digital and cvs MFG coupons?
It’s confusing because it’s a threshold and an instant savings. I haven’t used it yet and all my calculations are based on it coming off before those “pending validation” ones.
@@x0thorn0x The 10 off 30 is not instant as it automatically comes off. It's a CRT like the rest of them. It will say "pending validation" like the other ones do. Remember when you use MFC it starts to drive your price down and CRTs come off after MFC so it CAN spit out an error if you do not hit that threshold. I'm doing some trials to really get some idea of why CRTs work and why they don't.
For me, the 10 off 30 worked at one store and the exact same transaction at another store it spat it back out at me. Then again, 2 CVSs I went to were having register problems and whatnot.
My best advice would be to do this deal in it's own transaction and watch your totals very, very carefully. CVS registers have proven to be very finicky. Especially with makeup deals.
You can check out SavvyCouponShopper, she shows her l'oreal receipt. I believe she got some maybelline makeup and l'oreal shampoo.
Tierra Maria thank you! I’m not doing it till Wednesday so still time to calculate and recalculate... I’d love to hear if you figure out more order and/or logic to those CRTs. It’s massively helpful to learn through more then a couple personal transactions per week. I love Savvy, and OCC, too.
I noticed on my last Target run that cartwheel’s % off deals seem to act very similarly... I think they come off, recalculated, at the end after all other coupons... I only noticed it because of a 5 cent cartwheel coupon (on the receipt) that made no sense, but kind of did once everything was recalculated. The final totals came out as expected but just like CVS, the receipt shows a confusion of discounts that aren’t easy to decipher without detailed notes made prior to shopping.
@@x0thorn0x yeah I find it to be hit or miss too, the CRTs according to the policy can also affect how sales tax is calculated too so it's all a big mess! If I figure it out I'll be sure to spread word of my findings
At my store you can use a crt with a manufacturer coupon. But you can’t combine two crts on the same product, it will kick one out. Like the $10 off $30 L’Oreal crt made it kick out a L’Oreal lipstick crt for me.
Yes, try splitting your transactions into small ones. I have heard them tell me that same thing before, but when I split my transactions it seems to work. It's almost as if the computer is saying that you have too many coupons.
Thats crazy that happened to you. I’m going tomorrow. Fingers cross. I’m sorry you had just a hard time..
Had this happen before anytime theres a problem with coupons,makes me go completely brain dead lol. I find it best to put it back, go and rethink my plan. Whats the point in stores throwing coupons at us if we cant utilize them? I agree with the others I believe she lied. Ty for sharing with us!
I'm so sorry you had a problem with this. I always do transactions separate. I give them my crts first, then my manufacturer coupons, and then ecbs. She don't know what she talking about. I've been doing it this way for two years, even with system updates and everything else. I hope you have a better week though!
She lied I think. I watched Toni do a cvs challenge, she had no problems
Exactly.
Truth. Smh!!
I've learned never shop on sundays at cvs..I wait until monday so the system gets the kinks out..But that cashier was wrong. Like most of em talking out their a**. I did all my deals today, I do large tranactions weekly like you and it goes much smoother on mondays!
I will consider this! The only thing is my crts expire from Sunday to Sunday being that I print them every Sunday 😫
What ever you do, always do a %off crt seperately. It always messes with the total. Ive never had good luck with %off if I dont do separately.
Thank you so much for your videos. Can you please do a printable list for us?
Thanks for your videos, I really like watching them! The reason your CRT's didn't work is because they were $X off of $Y. So if you have a $4 off of $18 and a $10 off of $30, the total has to be $48. On your toothpaste/mouthwash deal, you had a $2/$6 and a $4/$14, so your total would have needed to be at least $20, but it was only $18.45. It took me forever to figure this out on my deals, so I hope this helps.
I’ve never even heard of this before and I’ve been shopping at CVS for 3 years now lol thanks for explaining!
That just helped me alot also. Thank you!
Lisa Roye YES! Finally someone understands!!!!
Maybe try another store...I always have issues with my closest store and the store up the road no issues at all...smh idk why...thanks for showing us the good the bad and the ugly...its helpful to know that we arent alone when these things occur...have a blessed week luv 😊
Mecie Mouse I thought about going to the store up the street but after being in there for over an hour I was like naw lol I’m done.
@@meekscouponlife I understand...it be's that way sometimes lol I hate when I do all that work and it flops
You gotta be a mathmatician to shop at CVS, and Walgreens is getting the same way !! To compliated and to much to keep up with !
I know right that's how I feel too.
Cashier don't know what she tlking about. Cvs take crts first then mf coupons. The reason it didn't go through is that 10 off 30 along with 4 of 15 etc. Every cvs store is different. I did my deal yesterday with the same crts but I break them up.
@@cristalwilson4408 I saw another youtuber do the same deal and she also did each deal separately . She explained it works with each crt by itself. I hate when cashier's tell you their own made up rules though. Cause I be standing there like ok I guess they know what they be talking about ....but in truth they sometimes make stuff up !!
CVS and Walgreens I have no problems.
I work at a cvs and let me tell you, those cashiers are just lazy to make your coupons work! Yesterday I had this lady who had maybe like 8 crts (not a couponer) and it only took me three minutes to make all of her crts go thru. We all have this button called “coupon issue” that replace our mfr coupon button. This lady only paid 1.92 for her stuff. Just some people don’t like people having stuff for free. Its not going to take it from my paychecks lol
Wow thanks so much for letting me know this!
Not all cvs’s have this button we use to in San Antonio, Tex location and they updated the system so we can’t punch any coupons through if they don’t work all it says is “ no items sold for coupon “
If those coupons get kick out, ask them to rescan again... it will work on the second try. However, the one that has Override Sign on then you have to have manager to do it. My transaction went smooth.
I watch couponing with toni and she did the soft soap deal and just added a suave 1 99 one and it worked. She does cvs and they have said nothing about using the manufacturer's before the CRT. I always hand my CRT first before my manufacturer coupons.
Unbelievable how CVS is CONSTANTLY changing it up on us! They make it up as they go, and each store seems to have a different rule! What I’ve been doing lately is doing smaller transactions so I don’t run into issues and so far so good! I used to try to do it all at once and my CRT’s were being reduced, and coupons weren’t taking! Smaller is your best bet! ☺️ However, you still did great with your transaction! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It did the same to me! It was humiliating 😤
I called corporate and was told the policy changed in November and speaking to the manager I told him: how? If this past week and this one are the only weeks I’m starting to have trouble with, and he said you might have been encountering your self with an old system, and blaming me for not giving the cupons in the right order 😡 long story short I hanged up on him and told him they have lost a loyal customer.
My problem was using a crt of 40% off and extrabucks together. It was only taking 20% off and my extrabucks were half their value amount. So frustrating 😰
When you use ECBs with % coupons, the % coupon will only deduct AFTER the ECBs. Idk why but that's how I learned to coupon at CVS. Hope it helps
I Add my crts to my card as well as do a separate transaction on each deal...the cashier can take the crts off then hand them your coupons
About six months ago I started to have trouble using threshold coupons as well. It took me while but I finally figured out what was going on and how to avoid it.
The Colgate transaction did not work for you because you did not meet the spend requirements for the CRTS. You had a $4.00 off $14 and a $2.00 off $6.00 which means that to use both of them you would have had to spend $20 in Colgate products but you only spent $18.45. I'm not sure why the body wash CRT did not go though because you did spend the correct amount on body wash.
On the L'oreal deal you have had to spend $42.00 total to use the $10.00 off $30.00 and the $2.00 off $12.00 together.
I know that the first time I had trouble with the threshold CRTs we tried to do the transaction over several times and could not get it to work. I had to go back and do a separate transaction for each and every deal that I had a threshold CRT for.
Anytime you have a threshold coupon like a $8.00 off $40.00 you cannot use a $2.00 off $12.00 Makeup CRT with it unless you spend $52.00 total. I never have trouble with using coupons and threshold CRTs together. I will say that yesterday when I did the Loreal and Maybelline deal I had a $3.00 off CRT for the Maybelline Color sensational lipstick and a $2.00 MFC for maybelline lipstick and the CRT would not take. The Cashier told me that from now on if the CRT has MFR on it, which stands for manufacturer, that I could not use that with a newspaper coupon. Now that one is new to me and I have never had that happen before. I was not able to use that CRT in my transaction.
I had a $4 off $14 crest and oral b CRT that I used today with no problem. My subtotal was $14.17, I used 3 $1 coupons and the CRT. I also had a $1 off $5 crest and it wouldn't take that one cause I used the $4 off $14.
I think as a couponer we’ve all been here. Sometimes are transaction just don’t go the way we want. But the thing to remember is that it’s okay to walk away regroup and try again. I think what made it such a bad transaction was your cashier being inexperienced and not very helpful. When using to many threshold crt in a transaction the computer gets kinda haywire. So it’s best to work in smaller transactions as you later stated. That way you can see what working and what’s not. Also keep in mind that these deals run over and over so if you don’t luck up this time there will always be a next time! Thanks for sharing you experience. Great haul 😊
I've never herd you had to use manufacturers coupon 1st then crt's. I think some managers make up things as they go. If that's their new policy it's just another strategic way to keep customers from saving as much as they can.
Hi, there are some CRT’s that beside bar code says MFT ... CVS take them like a manufacturers coupons .....
That's weird, I shop at CVS and I have yet to hear about this policy, especially considering she said since back in October, which has to be invalid because I shop there often and been plenty times since October. To add to that, the manager at the CVS I go to always takes care of me. I only go to that CVS whenever I can.
Meek I did the Colgate yesterday..I had $2/$10 Colgate crt...the $4/2Colgate toothpaste coupon....$1 off MWcrt....(2)$1 off Colgate MW coupons and I rolled in $6...I paid tax only....I live in Florida..so I paid $0.60 I got back $8ECB...I had no problems and everything came off....I picked up 2 toothpaste and 2 mw....I'm sorry your trip went crazy...
Toothpaste is a limit of two. So you will only get 4ecb. There's 4off in your app. Go to a different store.
I noticed a couple of stores gave you a hard time. Dollar Tree and CVS. Call corporate if they went against policy. Making up policies or giving you a hard time is unacceptable in both cases. You are good at what you do and stand your ground. Tell Extracare that you were inconvenienced by the experience.
Hell I used the $10/$30 crt three times! And I even used $4/$18, $4/$15 and some others, had no issues, everything went through. Some of these employees love making up their own coupon policies lol!
Go to a different Cvs, one of my stores said that and said it changed in January. So took my coupons went to a totally different Cvs and low and behold all my coupons and crts came off like they should. Just avoid the ones that give you the runaround
I had the same issues with my CRTs
This happened to me last week and I just left my cart and walked out. If they keep making it harder and keep changing the way the coupons work, people are going to stop shopping there... Period
I had to start adding all my crt and coupons on the app that way i can see what will come off first. Not as many deals but still a little something
CVS did change the way they adjust their coupons but I haven't heard that it is because of the manufacturer coupons. I am almost done with CVS, always something doesn't work the way you plan it.
Yep my transaction happen the same exact way I had to split my transaction I swear CVS they need to come up with a better system because a while back you were able to do all the transactions and one with no issues and now you have to split them which makes it harder on the cash register and people that are waiting in line especially on a Sunday
I think the reason why your Loreal transaction didn't go through is because you had several threshold CRT'S in 1 transaction so even if you do meet the threshold amounts, they don't go through, it's kind of like hit or miss with those 😞 I would suggest doing smaller transactions to prevent these issues. I've been there before and it's frustrating but don't get discouraged because it all comes with couponing ☺ hope you have a great week🤗😃
Kouponing K Marie thanks! You as well! I’m gonna start doing smaller transactions and switch up my store.
Yes this is exactly what happened. You can't used more than one of those crts in one transaction unless you meet the total amount for those thresholds.
I had the same issues on my trip, told me I could only use 1 soft-soap coupon for 3! Cashier said a purchase and transaction are the same, the sad thing was she was training a new cashier!
I think its because u used the $4 off $15 loreal crt with the $10 off $30 also alot of people are saying u can combine those kind of crts anymore. Maibe its the cashier too cuz at a store that i always like going a cashier told me last week that manufacturers coupons go first now and i went today to the same store and another cashier said that they don’t have to take manufacture coupons first anymore lol . Its crazy!!!
You still did good
hi, I have had this same issue for a few months; many times now I don't even use the threshold CRT's because I would have to spend more out of pocket so it wouldn't make sense to use them
This is all too common an occurrence. Small transactions are the way to go. And even with that, last week I had a problem with something and a couple CRTs got kicked out and the manager cancelled it and scanned the items (like shampoos) then she scanned the CRTs and coupons for that item, then she scanned my next group of items (let’s say covergirl) and she scanned the CRTS and coupons, then she scanned my next group (let’s just say ThermaCare cream), then my CRTs and coupons then she subtitled and I used my EBCs but it all went thru where it tried to kick out some of my CRTs before. Sometimes it’s just easier to go to another store. I know which cashier will tell me things even though it’s wrong. It’s just not even worth trying to correct them. I just feel if the registers were updated this wouldn’t be such an issue. I’m so sorry this happened though.
I had no problem with L’Oréal , I had 3 crts and 4 manufacturers for that deal, I did have problems with the soft-soap, (2 mq & 2 crts) cashier said that the mq was kicking out the crts for those items
Unfortunately there are so many stores that push coupons that want us to use them advertise huge sales and saving but there employees are clue. Ok I understand theres turnover at most stores they only pay min. Wage but I in the same kinda transaction problem had an employee actually ask me to come back another time because she didn't feel comfortable and she did know what to do THEY NEED TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING
I always let them scan the CRT’s first and then MFC coupons and last any ECBs I might have 😊
Yeah the coupons do come off first so then u cant use the crt because the total is under stated on the crt. But what you can do is add one more item and use another coupon so it will be above and the crt will scan. For example you got 3 bodywash so you would add another bodywash along with another .75 coupon off coupon so the crt would scan. The same thing happen when i tried to use a $4 off $14 in head n shoulders and a $3 off $12 in shampoo and conditioner or hair product when i was getting 4 head n shoulders.i had to add two suave and use the $3 off 2 coupon and so the crt would scan. Hope i made sense.
You just have to make sure pretax pre coupon total is equal to amount of coupons...like 4/10 5/7 3/15 your need 12 in total purchases pretax pre coupon. You could use any filler items.
Try small transactions and just roll your ECB, I've never had a good experience with doing big transactions
Not sure if it helps but my cashiers always rescan a crt if it rejects it, the second time the scan it the system automatically pushes it through. Sometimes the system just rejects when I have a lot of coupons but then they always come off that second scan.
Dana Lewis yes!! This is what we do at my cvs. I always do that to all coupons and I haven’t got in trouble lol
I hate that feeling you went thru. Been there done that. Don't give up, us Couponers are here for you...
That happened to me with shampoo and a4/14 shampoo crt.and yesterday a mouthwash CRT came off and I didn't buy any
I had the same problem last week but my daughter didn’t. She split her transactions and handed the cashiers the crt first before the mc and it worked. Just a thought. The cashier told me cvs changed the way crt work with the threshold.
I think it is the threshold crts that messed up your transaction not a change in policy....don't be discouraged...tomorrow is a new day a better deal😆
Thanks you tried that's what matters. There's reasons why this happened. But i would have walked out with nothing.
That lady has good intentions but has no idea what the provlem is. I went today and did the soup deal. It was giving push back becauss the total was 0, so I added a razor deal to it and it suddenly took all the coupons no issues.
NO new coupon policy, it's the $10 off $30 is causing the machine to kick all crt out for some reason. That $10 off $30 has to be a separate transaction. My trip went smooth.
woovine Mine did the same thing I had a 10 off of 40 and it took off two of my CRT one was my 2 off 12 for make up and a 2 off of something else. And the manager was like you have to do two transactions. It’s just getting crazy. I was so mad. I told the manager they are just making harder on them
Yes. I did tbe $10 off $30 also and my $4 off $18 shampoo wouldnt go thru. Store employee told me.its because i couldn't do 2 purchase based. I just left it alone and didn't fuss over it
Thanks for the tip!
I did the 10 off of 30 and all my crts went through even my 4 off of 15 l'oreal haircare.
@@bz8308 im surprise your $4 off $15 worked for you. Many people are having trouble using $10 and $4 together. What products you bought? The crt sometimes want a specific product. I remember I bought two black bottles of Herbal essence and used $3 off 12 shampoo but the system deny it so I bought two green bottles instead and the crt worked. Their machine can act weird.
Girl, seriously, she is COMPLETELY wrong! Go to another CVS. The deals this week are awesome and just for that experience alone you more than deserve to get in on all of them! Don't let her discourage you. Go to another CVS!
That doesnt make sense like the crts are higer value it takes off the total of everything combined and now they are saying the manufacturer coupon comes off first thats just going to make the crts total not work, go to another cvs ive seen a video of a couponer go to 3 cvs because they just werent being friendly and wont accept the amount of coupons you can use in a transaction so finally she found the third store to be the best and helpful.
Now the Crt say on the bottom of the coupon limit one purchase _ based coupon i.e $4 off $20.
I went to CVS yesterday I had everything plan to do the deal of loreal shampoo and Maybelline make up to pay nothing out of pocket using 3 different purchase based coupons and more mf coupons and the cashier told me that only 1 of them will work . Which one do you want to use? I said $10 of 30 of course. And I paid only $4 because I had $ 8 extra bucks + mf coupons. And I got my $10 extra bucks. I made two more transactions the second was completely free and the last one was $ 4 and got $3 extra bucks back. Some time we have everything plan and coupons don't work or the items aren't there, but we need to try.
Yeah. The threshold crts were the problem, not a “new” policy...from October???
Everyone would have had issues then. I just do separate translations that include a threshold crt. It just makes it difficult when you want to do the high value threshold like $30 or more.
That is noo new policy it has always been like that and even thou they said they can not enter manually they can actually it just depends on the cashier that's attending you.. I just went today and my total was $112.17 and didn't pay anything at all my total after coupons was $0.. Try going to a different cvs
What they told you was wrong because I did the same deals an no problems
I’m getting tired of these stores and their policies...I coupon off and on now when I feel like it but the last few times I’ve been to CVS (mind you, within the last 4 days)...one of my ecb ‘s didn’t scan, my coupons never show up that are on my card, and I didn’t even get an ecb for a deal I did 🙄...I feel like taking another year hiatus because it has changed so much and what’s the point of saving when you can’t save to the max? ....
Meek had them the ctr first,let them scan them first, then hand them manufacturer coupons. Your the only one I seen have had trouble with this. A crapshoot for sure. If you have trouble agin change stores.
Donna Dorrell yes I’m gonna change stores.
Yes this happened to me today
I REALLY don't think that's correct. But I have found that if you purchase say 3 items for $10 totalling $30. If you use a crt for $3 off the items, it will drop your total below $30 so you won't get any $10 when you spend $30. I was told when you use a Spend crt or circular ad deal it takes off any other CVS coupons before it calculates the total for the spend. The manufacturing coupons don't apply till later. That cashier is misinformed. Not an unusual problem. Even when you call corporate you can get misinformation. I'm always amazed that a fortune 500 company can have important personnel that don't know their own policies. So sorry about your experience. This week I dealt with a cashier who was new and didn't know how to add my coupons that I loaded to my card. And the worst is the store doesn't have a manager scheduled for the evening shift in a 24 hour store. So, I couldn't do any of my deals either. All that money making Colgate deals gone to waste.
It takes so much time to put together breakdowns. I just wish you could get your time back more than anything. Anyway, hang in there. You are one of the best couponers that I follow. Hopefully they make it easier on the folks out here just trying to save money. Stay blessed darling :)
Never had a problem with CRTS. They DO scan the manufacturer's first, but still never had a problem with CRT's. My GOOD guess are those $$ off of $$ ones. I feel when you use too many in one transaction, it becomes a problem. I ALWAYS do smaller and separate transactions. NEVER had a problem.
I agree, try another store. Hand your crts first, then your manufacturer, and then apply digitals and see if that works.
I used 2 crts and 3coupons with my soft soap.u made the right decision putting it back.havent seen anyone else with that problem 2day.
No give the crts first then the manufactures coupons do in smaller transactions
Ask for a copy of the new coupon policy.
Girl thats weird my 4 off 14 colgate went through, though when ever im ready to pay i put my crts in orders w. My coupons but my cashier freaking seperated them out and did the coupons first i was worrying that my 4 off 14 wouldnt go through but it did. Theres no new policy go to another store or do seperate transactions thats what i do
Yes, go to another CVS, not all CVS are coupon friendly I know I usually go far out where my transaction works great and do a smaller transaction that is better too.
They havent changed anything. Why is that cashier lying?!?!
they are wrong. I had no problems today. i did 6 transactions but all the coupons and crt's worked. try each deal on its own. and that cashier is so wrong!
Brenda, I was thinking the same thing. Meek goes to CVS every week how could they have changed it back in October? I don't know why each CVS seems to have a different policy.
@@ritamcbee it is not cvs it is that particular store and the cshiers and managers that one, either dislike couponers or secondly not properly trained. or it could be both.
@@brendaclawson9251 Yes, you are right. Because that happens to me, when I go to different locations, I get different info.
I did my 10$ off 30$ for 4 L’Oreal Elvive and 2 loreal pure today with 2 colgate toothpaste and 3 mouthwash and it went fine with the 10$ off 30$ the only thing that didn’t work for me was that my 2$ off 12$ mouthwash didn’t come off . It won’t come off for last week either . Idk why so I’m just going to let go and expire
Also when using the percent off for a certain amount make should they scan that coupon first before scanning any other coupons. If they don't it will reduce the amount of your purchase and the CRT will not work. I also separate my deals for this reason alone. I hope this helps you with your deals.
Sound like they're trying to make sure you don't get anything for free
I don’t think that’s true as they get all their money back from coupons plus a small percentage
However... Some cashiers and managers are haters. They hate the wisdom of couponers.
