Christie,
For this deal, you could use the Free Body Wash coupon or the $3/2 Olay Complete Facial Moisturizers coupon….its one or the other, not both right?
TIA

you can use the $3/2 coupons AND the B1G1 coupons b/c the Olay Complete Facial Moisturizers are the purchased item

Sorry, but NO you cannot! You can only use 1 manufacturer’s coupon per item. The $3.00/2 cpn attaches to both the item you are paying for and the free item. Therefore you can’t use another cpn. This seems to be on quite a few blogs and it’s wrong!

If it was a $3.00/1 then you could use it on the one you are paying for although manufacturer’s have stopped reimbursing stores who do this. Target has changed their coupon policy to reflect this 🙂

Yes you can use the $3/2 olay facial cleansers. You are PAYING for the Olay facial cleansers and getting the body wash free so its ok to use the $3/2 face cleansers. Its not attached to the body wash whatsoever. The MQ says “Buy 1 Olay Face cleanser and get an Olay body wash for free. The other MQ says “Get $3.00 off any 2 Olay face cleansers” So they can be used together…

Nicely said…YOU are correct. So many blogs are telling folks to do this…it is wrong.

I used the $3/1 facial cleaner q that exp today along with the bogo q from this Sunday’s paper.

Haseena, u can use the $3/2 olay cleanser with the free body wash. The cleansers are the qualifier. What u can’t do is use the free bodywash with the $3/2 bodywash coupon, b/c both coupins attach to the wash.

Amanda July 31, 2012 at 2:08 pm

Hi Christie,

I may just need more coffee…but is the math on this right? I think once you take off the $5.99 x 4 for the free bodywash coupons, you should already be down to $14.96? If so, it only gets better from there with the MCM coupons. With the ECB and rebate, I think you should make money on this deal.

Christie July 31, 2012 at 2:51 pm

Take a look now – I think that should all be good! 🙂

Reply

Christie July 31, 2012 at 2:31 pm

You CAN use the $3/2 coupon. The B1G1 Q. Does not attach to both. I’ve done this deal several times

Reply

Jane August 1, 2012 at 12:52 pm

Christie just because the coupon doesn’t beep or the cashier doesn’t catch it doesn’t mean it’s right 🙂 Lots of coupons will not beep even though they aren’t supposed to be used, just ask all those people out there teaching coupon coding 🙂

There is a site that I was refered to about BOGO manuf coupons…I think its like the national coupon information site??? Anyhow, I swore I was right, and then read the national coupon clearinghouse rules…a BOGO coupon attaches to BOTH…you CAN NOT use them with $$ off coupons. Whether it beeps or not, or you get away with it or not, or if it worked yesterday or lest year of five minutes ago…it is WRONG. Go look at it yourself. It is wrong.

Different Christie here (the one who writes this little blog ;)) I don’t write my scenarios (as you can see) using a $ off coupon along with the B1G1 coupons together. Now if you have a $3/2 CVS coupon then of course, go for it and use both and grab an awesome deal! 🙂

mel August 2, 2012 at 6:26 pm

If you have the link, I’ll be happy to read it. Ive been couponing for years and was taught it’s called piggybacking using a bogo with a cents off. if u go to sites like we use coupons, a full cup, hot coupon world, they ALL state it’s ok and they are in constant contact with the guy who runs the coupon information center. So unless any of those forum owners say it can’t be done anymore, I will continue to piggyback. If it doesn’t feel right to u or teeters with your moral compass then don’t do it

Why are you not deducting $5.99 for each wyb coupon? The body wash is free when you buy a cleanser, which I have to assume the Cleansing Bar qualifies as in this scenario. It’s odd for the larger purchase to be free, but I’ve gotten the clerks to do it correctly in the past. This then should be a $7 money-maker (about $5 after taxes).

I purchased the 4 cleansers, 4 bodywash Sunday. My purchase went like this:
4 cleansers @ 3.74 = 14.96
4 bodywash @ 5.99= 23.96
TOTAL 38.92 + TAX
USED -5.00 (CVS KIOSK COUPON 5/15 BEAUTY PURCHASE)
USED -2.00 (CVS KIOSK COUPON 2.00 OFF 2 BODYWASHES)
USED -6.00 (2/ 3.00/2 OLAY CLEANSERS, EXP. 7/31)
USED -23.96 ( 4/ FREE BODYWASHES WYB CLEANSER, TOOK OFF 5.99 EA.
TOTAL 1.96 + TAX
RECEIVED 5.00 EBS AND MAILED OFF FOR 10.00 OLAY REBATE.
THEN I NOTICED ON MY RECEIPT THAT I ONLY NEEDED 11.08 TO DO THE DEAL AGAIN. SO IT WAS LIMIT OF 2 NOT 1. SO I BOUGHT 2 CLEANSERS AND 2 BODYWASHES AND USED SAME MQ’S AND GOT 5.00 EB AGAIN. WOOHOO.
I SHOULD GET 5.00 FROM BEAUTY CLUB ALSO.

I did a similar purchase, slight variation and I also bought Crest that is included in the buy $25 and get $5 ecb. I did receive my $5 ecb but the weird thing is that my receipt shows:

Olay, Spend 25 Get 5 EB
Amount toward this reward 40.41
Amonunt needed to earn reward 25.00

Isnt it supossed to show the difference you need to get the next reward, which will be 9.59?Any clues? Has anyone had something similar? Will it update maybe tomorrow?

Thank you for any input!

It didn’t register on my original transaction, but I did a second transaction that day and it showed up on that one. Sorry I didn’t say that in the beginning. The limit is 2, not 1. Good shopping

Your welcome Christie, I may have left off some coupons when I emailed Christie about this deal. I did use (2) of the $3/2 olay cleanser that expire today…so my oop was $1.96..I received back $5 ecb and submitted the $10 rebate. Also the total before coupons will apply toward my beauty club rewards. So it was a $13.04 MM for me, not counting the application toward my beauty club rewards…. nesieskip

Kristine July 31, 2012 at 4:32 pm

Doesn’t the coupon specifically state that the free Olay body wash cannot be part of the Age Defying series?

Reply

Lisa July 31, 2012 at 9:21 pm

i bought a different kind – there are lots of different ones at the same price so you don’t have to get the age defying if it’s excluded in the coupon

Reply

Chelsea July 31, 2012 at 10:41 pm

I did this today and on the bottom of my receipt it states that I only have 3.81 towards the beauty club. Does it only add up amount spent after coupons? Thanks!

Reply

holly E August 1, 2012 at 12:18 am

I think it is BEFORE coupons! but it takes a day or two to show up on your receipt! the beautyclub does…but the extrabucks deals are on right away..weird

Reply

holly E August 1, 2012 at 12:20 am

OH and the coupon EXCLUDES age defying for the Facial Cleanser or cloths..You can pick ANY for your FREE body wash, in shower lotion or bars.

Christie August 1, 2012 at 8:02 am

Thanks Holly!

Jane August 1, 2012 at 12:54 pm

It also excludes Total Effects and another – can’t remember though.

Penny August 1, 2012 at 12:40 am

I just checked the CVS website regarding the Beauty Rewards because my receipt didn’t show the Olay purchases that I just made either. In the fine print it does state that it will take two days to show up. CVS….what a great store! I’m able to fill my xmas baskets with so many items and not break the bank. (husband very happy with this)

I need some fellow couponers to help me out on this Olay Rebate deal. I’m trying to put together a college care kit for one of my nieces who is off to college this month. I have all the P&G coupons PLUS these following CVS coupons that I think I might be able to work with. They are:

– $3 off $15 Tide, Bounty, Charmin, Gillette, Olay or Pantene
– $2 off any Beauty purchase $10 or more
– $2 off any Body Wash or Bar Soap purchase $8 or more
– Beauty Club Members: $2 off any Facial Care purchase $10 or more

So with that being said, I need some help. I just can’t figure how to use these coupons plus the P&G coupons “Buy 1 Olay Daily Facials or Cleanswer, Get 1 Olay Body Bar, Body Wash…FREE. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks everyone!!!

WAIT the bar soaps are cleansers??? I just want to make sure cause the last time I used this similar BOGO coupon (2-3 months ago) it ended up being the foaming face wash liquid bottle even though the word “cleancer” was nowhere insight infront of the bottle; it was confusing.

Reply

mel August 2, 2012 at 6:07 pm

Those aren’t bar soaps, but the box of facial cleansing cloths.

Reply

anen August 2, 2012 at 9:10 pm

Yeah I noticed after taking a closer look xD Still I got confuse cause she wrote “Buy (4) Olay Cleansing BAR $3.74” when I saw the word ‘bar’ I atomatically thought bar soaps

Reply

Marie August 2, 2012 at 12:53 am

Good idea..i have the same coupons from the red box..do I handled the red box coupon first and then the maf. Coupons

Amaka August 2, 2012 at 1:16 am
