Today’s site: CVS Advisor

If you shop at CVS and would like an easy way to earn FREE ExtraCare Bucks – read on!

How to Earn: 

Head over here to sign up.  You’ll need your ExtraCare card number.  (If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up in-store or online.)  You’ll need about 5-10 minutes to fill out your profile. Then simply wait to receive surveys from CVS.  You’ll likely only receive them about four times per year, but it’s not uncommon to receive $10 in ECBs for participating in a single survey.  Surveys typically only take about 15-20 minutes, so that’s not a bad hourly wage!

What You Can Earn: 

Self-printable ExtraBucks coupons will automatically be available immediately after you complete your survey. You WILL NOT receive ExtraBucks coupons for completing the initial profile survey to participate in future Panel surveys.

Tips:

  • Make sure your email inbox is set to accept emails from [email protected] so you don’t miss a survey!

What You Can Earn:

  • You will be paid about $0.02 per e-mail that you click on.  Be sure to look carefully at the bottom of offers that you have clicked on through e-mail.  In some cases, you are required to click again once the ad pops up.
  • I don’t recommend spending money to earn points unless it’s for something you planned on purchasing anyway.
  • Use your referral link to refer friends and receive 10% of their qualified earnings.
