Wifey figured it out!!! š
Hereās 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 didnāt need anything at CVS for awhile. And, more importantly, there was no āclockā 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 (š¤£) Wifey came to the conclusion that we need a specific strategy to not miss out again,
So hereās 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 thereās 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 donāt 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 donāt get caught short on the $5 bonus like I did last time!
SUNNY SUNDAY UPDATE: So it appears that the 5% CVS offer will indeed reset after 24 hours! I first saw it on Thursday afternoon, made a purchase, it popped up again on Friday, bought something small Friday night, and here it is again today. Iām rushing over to buy anything at CVS that will qualify to collect the $5 bonus.
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned earlier you can save yourself this trouble of multiple trips if you need several items at CVS by breaking it down into 3 separate transactions. Submit the first receipt as soon as the 5% offer is showing and activated. Then, simply wait at least one day for the 5% offer to reset and then submit your next receipt. Repeat, and after the 3rd submission you should earn the $5 bonus.
Donāt wait, because the 5% offer as well as the $5 bonus can disappear on you without warning. Thatās what happened to me last time but now weāve learned and are outsmarting them! š¤£
