Awesome! I love your posts!
Tell me more about the white EC card please. I have one as well but haven’t used it. Do you give them that card instead? Do you have to register it? What about the extra % off, is that based on an amount spent?
Thanks!
LP, the white ECB card came with our prescription plan for my husband’s work. When we got it, I had to call and combine my red card with the white card’s account. (had to use all my ECBs first though) You can only have on account per household. I don’t remember if it’s 15 or 20%, but it’s only on CVS brand- I think even just healthcare products. LOL, I don’t usually have a reason to buy generic because I get name brand for pennies so I’m not entirely sure. I’ll be sure to report back on this thread when I buy my allergy meds this week and let you know.
