    How did you use the e-giftcard. Do you print it out?

      You get a link from Swagbucks, and you can print the e-gift card and take it to the store. I learned the hard way that you have to use it after you use your other coupons and ECBs. I did it wrong the first time and it caused some issues with my other coupons. Now I hand it over after everything else. So hopefully that helps you avoid that problem. But they’re a sweet deal for bringing down the CVS out-of-pocket!
