CVS $5 Off $15 in Long Island Newsday Sunday May 18th (available now in early edition)

This is from NYKNICK at SD, not my info.

In 5/18 Sunday's Newsday there is a CVS $5 off $15 coupon. Not retricted to NY area. Expires on 6/1/08.I have the Early Sunday Editon. It is on page A-47.

I checked the E-Edition, it is still showing the 5/17 Newsday. Check back tomorrow

I wonder if its going to be in Washington Post tomorrow. This coupon will be so nice.

Can't you threadcrap somewhere else?

I'm not threadcrapping. I just stated that is was reported earlier on the link I provided in the blog that the $5 off $15 was listed as fake coupon by CVS Corporate. I just wanted anyone to make sure it was a legal coupon before use. either by clipping from paper themselves or if an image appeared here by itself, that they check that it was valid first.

This was a quote from the linked page, not a quote from me. I am not a CVS employee.

This is Deal Discussion, I as a member of FW can discuss and help/warn others if I choose too. my post was not anti-OP but PRO-Coupon Users. I have given advice many times before and will continue to do so.

Oh please.
I am sorry that I apologized to you because you do have the same train of thought as a Q nazi.
A holier than thou attitude that says if people do not think exactly like you, then they must be dishonest and unscrupulous.
And stop taking the worries of the world on your shoulders.
You will live longer.
Who cares what someone on the other side of the country does with their coupons?
The notion that it will affect you in the long run is a waste of time.
Things might change or stay the same.
You have no power over it.
Just as I have no power over a thread crapper.
Although they annoy me as much as the thought of someone using a "shifty" coupon does to you.

It is an actualy coupon found on page A-45!!!!!!!! (in the paper edition)

I bet she is a cvs employee.
I think she is one of the coupon nazis.
You know these, they think that every coupon should be examined with a microscope.
The newsday Qs are not fakes.
they always work fine, no matter what that woman says.

they are called HONEST PEOPLE. I don't abuse coupons by pushing the envelope on the use of them. people being greedy in the long run could cause CVS to do away with them and that would hurt EVERYONE.

and yes nomoney, I noticed the date. my original post was to bring the AWARENESS of validity.

if they were valid and in paper, AWESOME, But if a lone coupon appeared here with no proof it was actually in paper, then I just noted for users who cared about that type of stuff, to doublecheck before use.

Frugal,

I am very careful about my coupon posts and would not have posted this if it wasn't valid info. The coupon is verified as being in the paper today, and if it is available in the online edition, that too is verifiable. If someone posts up a schlock/bogus coupon in my thread (in Quick Summary I delete it) or if in a regular post I alert the mods to remove it.

The biggest problem I remember on FW with a CVS coupon was a clearly altered RX fill coupon where the date was changed.

I do have to agree with the others that you went over the top here, not sure why the need to pull the fire alarm when no scan or anything has been posted that is questionable.

that quote was from a website in FEBRUARY, why do you think that comment is relevant to a coupon in a newspaper printed in MAY?

Yes, It works fine.
Used 8 yesterday with no problems.

I checked the E-Edition

where is a link to e-edition?

thx

letmein@dodgeit.com, qwerty

does anybody know a shared working log-in?

Check out bugmenot.com for shared login info for lots of sites, not just newsday HTH!!

Thanks, OP. BTW, Frugal Freak, I think people are having a problem with your quotation: it appears that you are making a statement, rather than providing useful information. It is alarming and inflammatory. You should probably edit/amend it, or apologize.

Please can somebody email me the coupon

What is the point of this post? You are posting a letter from March, today is May 20.

First off this thread contains NO link to anything. It simply tells people there is a legitimate coupon in the LI Newsday, date and page. CVS sent that letter re: hosted scans on websites that did not link directly to CVS or it's partner advertiser-like a newspaper which had an online e-edition available with the coupon.

There is nothing wrong with people accessing the coupon legitmately from the newspaper site and again, I have no clue what the point of your post is as it pertains to this thread regarding LI Newsday/CVS ad coupon.

The point is: duplicating them is not legal no matter where you get it or what day of the year. Besides, those coupons are regional for new stores and markets in local distribution area, not the entire country.

I agree. This coupon is not region specific. There was a NY specific coupon earlier which was truly region specific and did not work elsewhere. This one does work.

If CVS really wanted it to be a very restricted coupon, they'd track who is using it and how many times. They can also restrict one use per card. But they don't. Trust me, even if you use this coupon in every transaction, CVS still is in profit.

frankyrizzo said: Anyone aware of a new coupon as this one expired?

Expired but still works (Just in case someone did now know). I think it will work for 2 weeks beyond expiry date. I used it today twice with no problems.

frankyrizzo said: My stores will not let me use expired coupons and now the standard 4off20 coupon seems to be gone as well.

You just need an email to get a 4 off 20. Give your email on CVS.com and they send you 4 off 20 in no time. Am i missing something. I plan to use the 4 off 20 once my CVS stops taking the 5 off 15.

You can only get that email once tho.
