Hi Rachel. Still learning. How did you get $10 ECB for Pepsi deal on Transaction #1? Are the Pita chips part of it? Just trying to figure it out. Thanks for your help.
new reader, been trying to get the hang of this. I’ve never done CVS before but hope to start this week. it looks like you did 4 transactions in 1 day? do you do it all at one time? or do you go back later? Since i dont have any ECB’s yet I was trying to figure out how to earn some ECBS first then use them up on other things but didnt want to spend a lot OOP.
Great trip!!
