Can I use ECB's given to me?

My aunt shops CVS all the time, and just pitches her ECB's!!!!!

She doesn't want to mess with them! can I use them, or is this just a waste? Do the ECb's that I give for my purchase HAVE to have my name/card # on them? TIA

I believe that ECBs are card specific. Sorry!

If she has her CVS card linked to her phone number you could always go that route?

just ask her for a fob (the small card that attaches to key rings) and use it when you want to use the ECBs! Since she doesn't bother with ECBs you could get her "quota" of deals and share the wealth with her!

Throwing ECB's away! That's unheard of!

If she saw a $5 bill on the ground, would she stop and pick it up?

Yep, they are card specific, but if you know her phone number, you can use that or if she has an extra extra care card for that account (like the pp mentioned) you could still use them, just NOT with your card. So you'd have to do seperate transactions, but it would be like having an extra EC card to your name, with more ECB's, so it could still be good for you. The hardest part is keeping the ECB's with the card they belong to, and figuring your deals on the two seperate cards, using seperate ECB amounts.
So like if you have your card and her card, and your card has a total of 8 ECB's on it, and her card has a total of 12 ECB's on it, you would have to figure your weekly deals for your card basing it on starting with 8 ECB's to spend, and then you would have to figure your deals using her card starting with the 12 ECB's on it. Then you have to refigure when you get to the store and they are out of one stupid little thing that you had on your list, lol, or at least that's how it works for me.

So yeah, it can help you get more stuff (raising your limits that you could purchase by having the 2nd card), but you cannot combine her ECB's with your ECB's to pay for an order or anything cool like that.

Didn't even think of sharing the card - thank goodness for you guys!!! Deals could have been lost :( I'd rep you all if I could!
