CVS ~ Question: cvs---Buy one get one question

[Gretchen674]

Hi,

I noticed there are several bogo's this week. May I buy bogo items with 2 coupons, or do they only except 1 coupon for the one you are actually paying for?

Thanks in advance,
Gretchen

In my experience, a coupon may be used with each item. Hope this helps, and have fun shopping!

I think this is YMMV. The policy is to take coupons on both items but I don't think that all the cashiers at CVS know this.

I had trouble using 2 coupons on items that weren't even BOGO. I'm kinda afraid to try again, but if it's trouble using 2+ coupons then there won't be much point doing this CVS thing. I think I'm going to do what I read one of the other posters does- have an email printed out saying 2 coupons are allowed and just showing the cashier so it they let it go through.

It's NOT YMMV. You CAN use 2 coups on B1G1F. Just email corporate and ask. they'll send you the info that yes you can. Print out that puppy and carry it in your bag.

The following is an email that I copied form another site. I don't know what the rules are pertaining to linking. I suggest you print this and take it with you...

CVS/pharmacy®

Dear ,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding CVS/pharmacy coupon policy. I do apologize that each CVS/pharmacy you go to tells you something different.

Our registers are set to allow one CVS coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item. However, the staff should be allowing customers to use Extra Bucks in combination with other CVS coupons since these are coupons you have “earned.”

In addition, they should be allowing the use of one “offer at the register” coupon which would be an open offer of $3 off of $15 or a certain dollar amount off of a specific item. Since our registers are programmed to only accept two coupons (one CVS, one manufacturer) per item if the number of coupons exceed the items purchased a member of management will need to assist the cashier in processing the coupons.

CVS/pharmacy will accept coupons printed from the Internet. They must have a legible barcode that scans at the register. If the coupon does not scan at the register, the cashier should politely inform you that we are unable to accept your coupon. We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet. CVS/pharmacy will not accept offers printed from unauthorized internet postings or reproductions, copies, or facsimiles.

When an item is on sale for buy one, get one free and the customer has a buy one get one free coupon for that same product, the coupon will be accepted and both items will essentially become free (plus any applicable sales tax).

Also, two manufacturer coupons can be used on a buy one get one free purchase as long as two items are scanned at the register. The system logic sees two items scanned and will allow two coupons.

I have already notified the District Manager of that area concerning this matter and he will be speaking with the Store Manager and staff directly about the coupon policy.

Again, thank you for contacting us. I hope this is helpful. We value your patronage and look forward to serving you again soon.
Sincerely,
Kerri
