Holiday Gift Idea for a CVS shopper: CVS Plastic or E-Gift Cards from CVS.com!

The ultimate gift for the CVS shopper (aka a CVSer) on anyone's shopping list is a CVS gift card.  It is on my wish list this year!  :)  CVS.com and CashStar make it a breeze to give a gift card to a fellow CVSer or even to order one for yourself.

CVS offers both the traditional plastic CVS gift card thru mail order or a CVS E-card powered by CashStar sent to a recipient's inbox.  You can choose the design for the E-card or upload your own personal design and you can also add a personal message.  You can choose the amount you want the gift card to be in either option.
To Use a CVS E-gift card:

• Print it off from the link they send you.
• When you are ready to pay give it to the cashier.
• They will choose "gift card" on their screen and scan the bar code.  It will deduct the amount just like on a regular gift card.
• There are instructions at the bottom if the cashier doesn't know how to use it.
• Be sure and get it back--I have read of cashiers wanting to keep it like a coupon.
• When I first started using them, or when I run into a new cashier, I simply say "this is an e-gift card.  There are instructions at the bottom on how to scan it if you are not familiar with them." I have never had any problem.  Sometimes I'll mention they can be purchased online at CVS.com if they look like they think it is not a real thing.
