  1. My CVS said I could only buy 1 Blink tears. Are you able to buy more??

  2. I am planning on going this afternoon after work... Are you saying that since you bought one last week, you cannot get the ECBs on it this week as well? If so, that stinks!

  3. Thats what they told me last week. I had bought one in one trasaction and tried to do it in the next transaction. he said no this is only one per household. I said so I cant go to another store or come back next week and he said no. (I knew they were running it 2 weeks in a row bc I had already seen the flyer) I am not sure if its true ... but that is what he told me. I also wanted to do it with the Gillette razor deal, but that was a no go as well.

  4. I ran into the same problem with the razor last week. I figured (in regard to the tears) that a new week = a clean slate. I'll have to see, I guess.

    I know of a few people who keep 2 cards so they can take advantage of great deals. The only downfall is that if you earn ECBs on one card, you can only use them on purchases made with the same card.

  7. Yes, I was able to get another Blink! I don't need anymore razors, but it seems like the limits get re-set every week.
