CVS ~ Good Deal: CVS $5 Free eGift Card when you buy $25 in eGift Cards ~ 11/09

[kuponer]

Can you use the eGift card to buy a CVS gift card in the store? That way, you don't have to keep the printed email and you have the plastic, more sturdy CVS gift card.

I am a scrapbooker, so I have plenty of cardstock and will print mine on that. Thanks for posting this deal!

Wow, this seems unbelievable! Am I missing something? Is there some reason that their website is not crashing 'cause of everyone wanting in on this? Thank you OP and everyone giving the additional infos. I tried repping as much as I could.

For those of you that received phone calls to verify, what info did they ask for? I usually use my cell phone #, but I don't want to be verifying my credit card # over my cell phone if that is what they ask.

I received the call about 5 minutes after placing my order. Since I knew it was coming - I actually answered! They asked if I placed the order, who the issuing bank was, the customer service number on the back of the card, and the "type" of card i.e. "signature", "rewards". They may have also asked if it was a visa or mc. They didn't ask for the card number, exp. date, or cvv. 5 minutes later I had my gift cards.

Thanks Ids, that's exactly what I needed to know. Rep'd ya.

Just like Ids said, I first received the phone call but they offered to email me the questions since I was on my cell. Here's the email I then received:

Dear xx,

Thank you for purchasing a CVS eGift Card! For cardholder protection, we need to verify additional information regarding the credit card used.

The information we need to continue processing this transaction and deliver your gift is as follows:

-Card issuing bank (Capital One, Bank of America, California Bank & Trust, etc)

-Type of card (Platinum, Gold, Business, Gas Rewards, Gift Card, etc)

-Customer Service Phone Number off the back of the card.

At your convenience, please reply to this email with that information or call our eGift Card Support Line at: 1-877-259-7078 between the hours of 8am and 8pm EST, 7 days a week. You can leave a message at any time if we're not available, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you again, xx, for choosing the CVS eGift Card! We look forward to hearing from you.


I ended up calling the phone number from my landline. She asked for order # and then verified the above info and said she'd email the e-cards within 15 mins.

By the time I've written this I received them. One confirming order, one for $10 bonus and one for $50 e-card.

Still seems too good to be true

e-cards don't have to be printed in color!

From FAQ page:
Do I need a special printer? Do I need to print color?

No and no. Most standard office and household printers are equipped to print eGift Cards, and you do not need to print in color. Some printers produce great results, and older printers sometimes don't print certain images well, but the most important thing is that the code number below the eGift Card is clear. If it is not, you may need to install a new ink cartridge.

Anyone know how long this offer will be available?

I wonder why you had to verify your info if you only purchased $50 worth. I got $50 worth and I didn't have to do anything.

Good point.

This is what she told me also. Since we were both told this, I'm assuming that's why even though mine was only $50.
