Coupon policy FAQ

What happens when I want to use a coupon with a value that is higher than the

amount I am purchasing?

You may still use the coupon; however, its value will drop down to the value of the amount

you are purchasing.

Example:

• A $5 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value.

Can I use multiple coupons within a transaction?

Yes, as long as all of the coupons meet their qualifications.

Examples:

• Two $3 off $15 coupons for purchases that are $30.00 or higher.
• $3 off $15 coupon and $5 ExtraBucks

®

Rewards for a purchase of $15.

• $1 off toothpaste mfr. coupon and a $2 off toothpaste Coupon Center coupon

for a $3 toothpaste item.

Can I use multiple coupons on sale items?

Yes, for certain coupons and certain sale items.

Examples:

• Suave shampoo is on sale for $2.00 Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO)

and the

customer purchases two shampoos; the customer may use two coupons for

$1.00 each and pay the applicable tax.

• Suave shampoo is on sale for $2.00 BOGO and customer has a mfr. coupon for

Suave BOGO. Customer will receive both items for free but will need to pay any

applicable tax.

How do I determine the application of sales tax on my purchase that involves

the use of a coupon?

Funded manufacturer’s/mfr’s coupons will generally calculate sales tax on the pre-coupon

price of the item, as required by state law*. If the coupon is issued by CVS Pharmacy

(ExtraBucks Rewards plus ExtraSavings coupons that includes ExtraCare

Coupon Center

and myWeekly Ad circulars), the coupon is generally deemed a retailer coupon and the sales

tax is calculated on the discounted price of the item (after the coupon is applied), as required

by state law. However, some CVS Pharmacy issued coupons are “funded manufacturer’s

coupons” and designated as mfr. on the face of the coupon and also on your receipt.

Sales tax is calculated on CVS Pharmacy issued mfr’s coupons on the pre-coupon price

of the item.

*Sales tax is calculated on the discounted price of the item (after the manufacturer’s coupon

is applied) in the following states: CT, MA, MO, PA, TX

Can the processing order of multiple coupons that are applied to an item affect

the calculation of sales tax?

Yes. Although CVS Pharmacy reserves the right to determine the processing order of its

retailer coupons issued (including discounts earned via the ExtraSavings Programs and

myWeekly Ad circulars), individual state tax laws govern the processing order of retailer

coupons vs. funded manufacturer’s coupons.

Am I limited by how many items I can buy?

There is no set limit however, store managers do reserve the right to set discretionary limits

on specific items being purchased in order to ensure there are enough of those items for

other customers.

How am I able to use percent-off coupons?

Percent-off coupons may be used on non-promotional/non-sale items. Exclusions are

displayed on each of the coupons.

How do I use digital ExtraCare coupons or ExtraCare coupons that have been sent

to my card?

You are able to send available deals and coupons to your ExtraCare card from CVS.com

the CVS Pharmacy mobile app, digital receipts and CVS Pharmacy email. Click on the

Send-to-Card

icon and view the success indicator on the landing page to ensure it was

loaded properly. To use it, purchase the necessary items the coupon is valid for and

ensure your ExtraCare card is scanned. The colleague will ensure it is applied to that

transaction during the checkout process.

What is considered an ExtraCare coupon?

Any coupons and ExtraBucks Rewards that print at the ExtraCare Coupon Center; or

are featured in your printed or digital receipt, CVS Pharmacy mobile app, or on CVS.com

are considered ExtraCare coupons. Quarterly ExtraBucks Rewards, circular ExtraBucks

Rewards, BeautyClub ExtraBucks Rewards, and Pharmacy & Health ExtraBucks Rewards
