CVS Two Free Bottles of BIOLUXE 1 Shampoo or 1 or 2 Conditioner (must pay for conditioner!!) ($20 value) a/MIR 1/31-2/6

billrubin said: The rebate is only on the conditioner, so you need to make sure you buy one of them. I did this today -- need to check my receipt and make sure that the conditioner did not ring up free!

Also, the rebate seems to be a Visa gift card. On the bright side, I think the rebate form claimed you get it in 2-4 weeks.

Bill,

can you clarify. were the MIR forms only on the conditioner or does the wording on the rebate form specifically say the conditioner only?

mgm1001001 said: Yes, the wording on the rebate form specifically says the conditioner is free. I bought 1 shampoo and 1 conditioner, I didn't pay attention and the casher scanned the shampoo first, so the conditioner showed up as free on my receipt. I am going to try anyway I think the people at rebate center should understand, wish me luck!If that's what mine rang up at I am going to go back and have them return them and then ring them up in the opposite order. Alternatively, if there is a phone number on the rebate form, someone could call and ask them about it.

I called the number on the rebate card and explained the ad in the CVC flyer said shampoo or condition. She said enclose a copy of the sale flyer and we may process it. She would not commit.

1) What does the CVS sale have to do with the MIR?
2) You want to buy the conditioner and get the shampoo free, not the other way around.

think he's referring to the BOGO sale where if you ring up the conditioner as the second item, it shows up "FREE".

but on point #2 you are correct, he's got it backwards....pay for the conditioner, get the shampoo free and you are OK on the receipt.

Did you try scanning it to see how it came up? At my store it was on the end cap with a B1G1F sign. And you said you saw the hang tags on the shampoo. Did you look at them to see if they were in fact for the conditioner rebate??? Maybe whoever put them on made a mistake. It happens.

Yes I did and they were 9.99. It looks like CVS sales papers are now regional. Most of the deals listed this week on the forums don't exist in my area.

MI got hosed this week with their ad. It's only 2 pages, not the regular one. Also, the deals from outside MI will not work (confirmed by people on SD).

I suggest calling CVs corporate to complain about the ad.

any ideas why CVS runs such crappy sales in MI? seems strange, plus the economy is so weak in the auto belt area, you'd think those folks need all the help they can get!

This is the first time I've seen regional sales at CVS. Maybe something new.

They have always been a CVS store. This is the first time that I noticed that none of the posted deals applied to MI so I went out to cvs.com and put in 48044 (MI) and compared it to 90210 (CA) and they are different.

Does anyone know the order the shampoo and conditioner must be scanned this week in order for me to pay for the bottle of conditioner and get the shampoo free?

pavi123 said: got this, there are many other shampoos and conditioners with try me offer at CVSThat is true, but what makes this special is that it's B1G1F this week, so you get *2* bottles free instead of 1.

i did the conditioner first also and it came up as the free one also. will probably return it, but wonder if i can get back the ECB i used?My recent experience returning something that I paid for with an ECB is that they gave me a gift card (the register had them do it like that). It used to be that they had to do a return without receipt for you to get a gift card.

yes it showed conditioner and shampoo

sameome said: I bought 2 conditioners, so my question is not what comes first.
I paid with a $10 ECB and it showed as CVS MFR coupon and then I used a GC to paid the $0.86 for sales tax - $0.01.

Do you guys think in order to get the rebate I should do a return and re-buy and pay out of pocket, so it doesn't show I only paid $0.86?It shouldn't matter. Many of us are paying with ECB.

monvivant said: just a quick question, i sealed my rebate envelope and after reading the directions it said to attach a photocopy of the original receipt. would just sending in my original receipt invalidate the rebate per directions as to send in a "photocopy" is that usually a must if it's the other way around? (usually most rebates say to send in the original receipt )

no, that won't be a problem. won't invalidate the rebate. if it asked for original and you sent a copy, then you'd have to worry.

monvivant said: ..... after reading the directions it said to attach a photocopy of the original receipt. If that's the case, buy 2 conditioner, zerox the (original) receipt and go back to store to exchange conditioner for shampoo, if one wants the shampoo instead. Won't have to worry about which scans first.
