The guidelines attached to the tag say the limit is one scan per household per day, so beyond that is between you and the store(s) you shop. It also says the promotion can end at any time, so we'll see if it stays around for a short or long time.

I broke down and bought mine today. The clerk stopped me right when I came in and started telling me about it because her manager (the one who told me about it initially) said to specially bring it to the attention of their special (bag toting) customers.

I'm not too thrilled over the one per day part of it.

I only shop about once per week and will make about three transactions then.

I am happy about it, though.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! I will definitely purchase one of these. I understand Amys concern that you try to make only 1 trip there per week but may do multiple transactions so thats a bummer, but then again CVS figured if it was per transaction people would make sure they did more than one transaction per day and rack up on the extra bucks. Think about it, 4 transactions per day = $1 ECB X 7 days=$7 ECB X 52 weeks= $364 ECB per year per person for using your own bag. I could live with that but I don't think CVS could, lol. Would be a good idea though, hmmm, what can I buy with $364 ECB's!

I hope we do it, I have many bags, but never enough. Our church is selling a compactable one that goes in a little bag about 3 x 3 and slides closed. I have one on my key chain and one in my purse. I hate all the plastic bags.

Confirmed in my little town of 5,000 (Eureka, IL). I went in yesterday to burn some ECBs before they expire and the cashier told me all about the program & scan tag. She basically quoted the memo she was holding and it's everything that's already been posted about.
I smiled and nodded like I'd never heard about it, but after she was finished, I said, "yeah, I actually just heard about it online..."
Go Hot Coupon World!

This'll be a nice incentive. I already use reusable totes (got them FAR from Menards!) because they're stronger, hold more and it keeps the plastic bag count down in my house. I have some from occasional purchases, but I swear they breed under the kitchen sink...

I think this is great. And like it was posted earlier, it will pay for itself on the first ECB. I will be picking one up and start using it ASAP!

Can you buy multiple cards? I know many times I need more than one bag. So can I have more than one card scan a day using multiple cards?

Now I might actually remember to take my bags! Nothing like extrabucks as an incentive!

This is a great idea - I hope it's a long term deal!

I bought mine today!
