I also wanted to update you on another deal which has made the rounds this week; the CVS $10 ECB when you buy 3 American Express Gift Cards. I was thinking to myself, “hey, why not buy these, and just use them to pay for my future CVS purchases. Instant moneymaker!” When I got to the store, however, I found out this wouldn’t quite work.
You see, the smallest dollar amount these gift cards are available in is $25, and each $25 card carries an additional $3.95 “activation fee.” And these activation fees are even higher for the $50 and $100 GCs. So, while the $10 ECB would have helped offset these activation fees if I had actually needed the cards for gifts…let’s just say all of my Christmas shopping was done before I even got called away for my family emergency (thank goodness!), so I had little use for this “deal.”
