Alicia tipped me off to a deal going on at CVS this morning! Here’s what she said:
“Buy a $150 Paypal Mastercard, $154.95. Get $50 ECB back. Limit one per CVS card. Must use card within 30 days and cancel card to avoid a $5 service fee. YMMV – You need to look at myweeklyad on www.cvs.com for YOUR cities deal! GOOD LUCK!”
(Robin says that the actual limit is two per card!! Thanks Robin!) When I went to my CVS today, I also found signs for it! I am in Chicago, so I am under the impression that it is going on here, but it may not be in every area. Here is the sign I found:
You will want to use the card quickly in order to avoid any service fees (these may show up within two days instead of 30!), so plan to shop! In cases like these, I usually purchase an Amazon gift certificate for myself and then deposit it into my account right away. I shop at Amazon so often that it’s totally worth it to me, but think about what will work best for you! Either way, it’s tough to argue with a quick $45 moneymaker!
*Note – my sign said that this runs through 11/30, but Alicia’s online deal indicated that it ends 11/27. I’m betting it’ll go all week, but purchase this in the next few days if you don’t want to risk it!
