Not sure if the same will happen at Lowe's now w/ the new reward program they have going on. Will have to ask if I ever shop there again.

Yes, NC Kroger is regional. Lived in NC before moving back to beloved TX. You guys get $ for spending $$, etc. Even your Kroger cards are different colors. Here DH was looked at like he was crazy when he asked for a new blue Kroger card

Now, I wonder if they will somehow link your CVS card with this green tag so that the ECB would work under a specific card with no beeps. If so, people who shop with multiple cards for multiple HH will be able to get more tags - one for each card...

neither of my regular stores in noKY had them.

I also read that Target gives .05 credit for using your own bags.

I purchased mine at my store in northeast PA yesterday. Since I do some of the shopping for my office, I will be able to use mine at least twice a week!

Got mine last night! I used it on my card yesterday and this morning used it on DH's card so I can confirm that the tag doesn't attach the the card it is purchased with. Both of the receipts list the green bag tag uses on the bottom of the receipt. We had to explain to both cashiers what they were scanning

Do you mind clarifying this? Did it show up as using it once on both cards or once on yours and twice on our husbands?
I've yet to find one yet, but I'm sure when I do I'll have to explain what it is too

This is a good point. If they are not linked to your card, you could use one at each store and they wouldn't know that it was the same person.

I suppose when the Extra Care card gets four "punches" with that UPC off the tag, then it will print the ECB.

It was only scanned once on each card and showed up the same way for both cards on the bottom of the receipt as:

Green bag tag uses:
Quantity Toward this Reward 1
Quantity Needed to Earn Reward 3

Does that make sense? Looks like all the tag bar codes are the same so you don't have to purchase multiple tags. HTH!

As far as I can see, you scanned it twice, but on different days.

Now, why is it showing that the quantity toward the reward is just 1? If you scanned it twice, but on different days, you should have had the quantity of 2 based on the rules. Or does it take them 24-48 hours to process? Does not look like it, as the first use showed up immediately.

Moreover, when ECB prints, I wonder which card will be able to use it... Has anybody ever heard of ECB not belonging to a specific card? Ones that can be used under any card? Or will it be ECB for the card used last?

The best way to think about this to avoid confusion is to think of this bag tag as any other item that you would buy in the store. EVERYONEs bag tag has the SAME upc code. Just like all packs of Wrigley Spearmint gum all have the same upc code. As far as the cash register is concerned, when the cashier scans your bag tag, the cost is $0.00 and your ECB card that was scanned for this transaction is now credited to having "purchased" one bag refund. After the fourth bag refund is "purchased", you get an ECB -- just like all other ECB deals.

So think of it as any other ECB deal: "Buy" 4 bag-refunds for $0.00 and get a $1.00 ECB.

Therefore, you can use the same bag tag for ALL of your purchases on all of your multiple cards because there is nothing unique about the bar code on the bag tag. All of the bar codes on the bag tags are identical.
