CVS BONUS

 

A reader, Nick, shares the following:

Wifey figured it out!!! 🏆

Here’s what I did wrong.

I made two purchases about 3 days apart using the 5% offer. And on the bonus page I got 2 check marks, indicating that I only needed one more purchase to earn the $5.

The $5 offer did reset (or at least I think it did). But I didn’t need anything at CVS for awhile. And, more importantly, there was no “clock” or date on the bonus offer to indicate it would expire.

But, it did.

And so what I saw this week was a complete reset where it says purchases made before 8/7 are excluded.

So… since great minds think alike (🤣) Wifey came to the conclusion that we need a specific strategy to not miss out again,

So here’s what we will came up with and suggest everyone do.

Once you get the 5% offer, head to CVS as soon as you get the chance. Purchase what you like, but if there’s more than one item that qualifies buy it in a separate transaction. NOTE: we do not have our CVS cards linked to Ibotta because we want the control over how offers are submitted.

Then, simply wait for the 5% to reset and submit the next receipt for what you already purchased. If you don’t get all 3 $5 offers to rest within one week be sure all Ibotta offers have been submitted before those receipts expire. But do time them so you don’t get caught short on the $5 bonus like I did last time!
