I have $7.50 in ecb plus a swag bucks coupon for 4.00 off a twenty dollar purchase. Can i use all of these in one transaction to buy the 2 oral b offers, tide offer and bounce dryer bar offer pluswhatever else might add up to 20.00. Will it give me back all the ecb's?
Sincerely,
omay

Omay, you can definitely do this. Here's the order you want to do it:
1. Scan all purchases.
2. Give the $4 off $20 coupon.
3. Give all other coupons.
4. Give your ECBs.

You will get all of the ECBs from the products that you're purchasing at the end of your receipt.

Be sure to stop back and let us know how it goes! :)
