Default Help with this 30 ECB/Coupons issue.

OK so nothing is printing for me and I assume it is the issue with the 30ECB. I have had a few ECB's that have expired or I have lost. Small ones that I didn't call on. I also know some were not put in properly and ones I have used were still showing up. So I printed 10 ECB's from online and took them to the store and used them hoping to clear this up.

But now that I think of it. Those ECB's generated another 12 ECB's so that probably didn't do me any good huh?

Now what?

If you can figure it out for sure - let me know.
I have been trying to buy just 1 or 2 types of items per day so that I am only getting 1 or 2 ECBs . .. I did have one print at the register yesterday ( I hadn't gotten any for about a week), so I will have to wait and see if I am 'fixed' or not

I <THINK> that's the key. Buy <1> item per day, and stock it up! So you don't get 'many' little ECBS, right?

do you have alot of open CRT's?? as soon as those expire, I would think your ECBs that are backed up will print out....
or if your comfortable with it...just keep printing them online and you'll be fine.
I've been limiting the small ECB's too-- buying 1 or 2 items in a trip and multiples of that item instead of lots of items that would generate the ECB's

the only problem with that (and don't get me wrong I think it's a wonderful idea) is that you get these ginormous ecb's that they give you a hard time about!!

Yes, that's true. I'll have ab unch of under $25's... SOME day this week, I'll use 2 (or 3) $25's on the same product, and get a $50 (or $75) and get my digital camera

I think they sell them online (Ionic something-or-other... is that what you're talking about??)

Plus, there's the "buy over $75 online, get $15 EB back" deal going on... plus free shipping for orders over $49 (all the time). That'd be a good way to spend your EB!

only recently have I felt this way-- but I'd much rather deal with a "bigger" (and by bigger-- I mean $30-45 ECB) ECB then a bunch of smaller ones-- which is where I run into problems constantly... because of the coupon limit being exceeded during my purchase(I dont mind fillers-- but getting a ton of them can add up and eat into your ECB's) or my account getting held up on printing the ECB's because I've got too many little ones and CRT's, oh...and then there is the 1 store I hit sometimes that only lets me use 1 ECB when i'm there.
so only lately have I felt like this-- but I'd rather deal with a larger ECB then a bunch of litter ones.
after all this excitement of these OCT. deals are through, I might go back to my old ways of getting little ones-- but for now-- I'll stick with the bigger ones. !!

Grrr Im so annoyed with CVS right now. I called and it seems that like 20 or so of my open 30 are stupid CRTs. fine, so I got in my account printed almost all of them. Plan to go tonight buy everything, use them, then return it all. Idiots. I dont see why they cant delete those from your account. I havent gotten any ECBs printed since Friday, In my account it shows about 20 or so that are ready, but not being printed. When I print them off my computer Im being told I cant use them becuase either a) they think there is coupon fraud going on so they are not allowed to or b) the computer ALWAYS pops up an error saying it isnt valid for card scanned.. but of course, it doesnt have a card number on the coupon so I cant prove its mine...
