CVS Advisor Panel = FREE Extra Care Bucks
I mentioned this awhile back but thought it would be great to remind all of you about an awesome (and FREE) program offered by CVS called the CVS Advisor Panel. Just sign up to become a member of this panel and CVS will email you online surveys throughout the year to gather your input about CVS stores, products and services. Complete the surveys and you will snag self-printable CVS ExtraBucks coupon typically valued at $5-$15!
Check out this email that I received from reader, Tonya…
I am very new to your site. I’ve only been here a few short months but I thought it might be nice to remind others of the CVS Panel Program. I got a 5 minute survey this morning and scored a $5 ECB that doesn’t expire until 3/26/11. Thanks Collin…you’ve helped this new stay at home mom more than you’ll ever know.
How about you? Are you a member of this panel…if so, how often do you receive survey offers and what sort of ECB’s have you received?
I AM A MEMBER AND I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I GET TO DO A SURVEY 🙂 I HAVE DONE 3.. ONE I RECEIVED $15 ECB, ONE FOR $10 ECB AND I DIDNT QUALIFY FOR ONE BUT THEY STILL GAVE ME $2 ECBS!!
Off topic, but I have a Wags question.. I see you can use one Wags coupon and a manufacturers coupon per item (unless otherwise stated, according to policy), but on all the walgreens coupons in monthly booklet it says not valid with any other offer so my assumption is you CAN’T combine. Am I not understanding this right??! Thanks in advance!
you can combine them but you cannot have more coupons than you have items
You can use a Wags coupon and a MF coupon on the same item. You can then use a RR to pay for the item. Just know that you have to have the same number of products as you do coupons. So get a cheap .35 cent candy or .15 cent pencil to make up the difference.
I have been a member for a year or so I think and finally got my first survey. It was less than 10 minutes & I got $5 ECB!!
I signed up over 2 years ago and have only received 2 surveys. None in the past 6 months.
Thanks Tonya and Collin. I need more opportunities like this since I am now a say at home Mom. Hope the surveys start pouring in. 🙂
Just signed up thanks Colin! You are amazing and appreciated
I got a 5 minute survey yesterday and received 5 ECB. It was my first one!
I signed up quite awhile ago (early last year, probably), and I got a few surveys in the next few months, but nothing in the past 6. I did, however, notice that they changed how things work – when I first signed up, I’d get a survey and even if it turned out from some of my initial answers that I didn’t qualify, I’d still get 2-3 ECB just for replying. Now, on the last one they sent me, I didn’t qualify and I got squat. The one before that, I qualified and answered everything, and saw a message saying I’d get my earned ECBs at some future date. To my knowledge, I never did and didn’t really know how to follow up on that. I’m glad to hear others are still getting surveys, I seem to have outlived my usefulness – LOL!
I have been a member for a year and have never received a survey. Their website states at least 3-4 a year. I contacted them a while ago, and they said I would receive a survey within the month and have never received one. 🙁
I signed up a while back and have never received a survey either :(. Does anyone know if the surveys come directly from a CVS email or could they come from a third party?
Just signed up! LOVE CVS!
Just signed up.Can not wait to try it
I have done 2 surveys so far in the last few months, I thank Collin for guiding me to free money everywhere!
thanks!

I’ve only been offered one survey but I got $10 ecb for completing it!
I’m a member, I received one survey back in October
I have been a member of this for about 1 year and LOVE it! I’ve received quite a few surveys and get anywhere between $5-15! You even get paid if you don’t qualify for a survery-usually $2-5! A survey always seems to show up when I’m running low on ECB too!
i received a survey this morning as well, but havent in a few months. Got $5 ECB for about a 5 min survey!
I signed up months ago, nothing yet.
HOW DO YOU GET THE SURVEYS-EMAILED?
I’ve gotten 2 surveys in the near 2 yrs I’ve been a member. Nothing since last spring however… I wonder if it’s linked to how often you shop? For economy reasons I cut back on a lot of my CVS’ing so I haven’t been nearly as frequent a customer…
There have been weeks where I have gone several times the same week, and even times where I have shopped at one, and if they didn’t have certain items stopped at the next one on my way home, and I have been a panel member for a while (I have been visiting hip2save since it was on blogger and signed up the first time I saw Collin mention it, I can’t remember if it was on blogger or on this newer site), but have never gotten any surveys.
I was thinking the same thing! I signed up about a year ago and never have received anything. I don’t ever get any of the good coupons from my Extracare card either. So maybe both of my accounts are duds 🙁
I’m a member and have been for probably 9-12 months. I think I have done around 3 surveys in that time. I know I got a $10 once and a $5 once, but I don’t think I’ve gotten any $15 ones.
i just went to sign up and it says I have to reset my password. I tried to do it and it does not recognize my email address. UGH
off Topic , I just recieve these two free coupon from walmart that Collin posted a while ago, Thanks so much Collin
Chef Boyardee pasta free coupon
egg beaters coupon
i really wanted to join it but my brother works for cvs pharmacy and the first question is ‘does an immediate family member work at a drug store’. i would lie but i wouldnt want to put his job in jeopardy.
Does anyone know how to retrieve your password? I signed up a few years ago…got one survey…and now can’t log in.
I have been a member for quite a few years now and I do get surveys quite frequently. I did one in Jan for $10 and the other last weekend for $10 (both comparing their ads to Wags) Its great to give your opinion on the evolving of CVS programs (I’ve done surveys for their Green line of products, green bag tag, Beauty advisor panel, CVS/brand products, the pharmacy dept)
I have been a member for one year or so. I was invited to a survey in the beginning and after that, nothing. I had forgotten that I had signed up.
I signed up long ago and never received anything?????
I just tried to sign up and when I entered my email address it said my information can not be found. But I have signed up online with CVS to receive their online ads. Am I missing something?
I signed up a year ago, got one survey right away and none since.
Wow cool! I hope I get chosen to take their surveys! For some reason I don’t have much luck with getting chosen, maybe because I’m only 20 and companies are more interested in another age group…? Anyway, thanks Collin!
I was wondering do they send you an email when they want you to do a survey? Or do you have to keep logging into your account to know? Thank you
Does this open you up to any “junk” email? Just wondering. Thanks!
I haven’t gotten any “junk” from this!
Thanks for your reply!
I’ve been a member for almost 2 years now. I didn’t receive anything FOREVER, then all of a sudden I got two in a matter of a few weeks, one for $5 and the next for $10! Haven’t received any since then though. ;o(
I’ve been a member for years. The surveys pop up from time to time. I’ve probably gotten about $50 in ECB. I qualify for most of the surveys. The longest one I remember was the photo one. But even if you don’t qualify, you can get like $2 ECB just for trying. Well worth it!
Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’m going to give it a go! My gang has been drinking so much Arnold Palmer from CVS this week that I need all the ECBs I can get!

Don’t forget to “LIKE” the site while your there.
Not cool
Thanks for the info I just signed up! see if I get any surveys!! awesome!
Last year about this time, I got 2 surveys, $5 and $10 and then another one in the summer for $5 and nothing since. When others have posted that they got the last 2, I never got them. SIGH, CVS doesn’t send me $/$$ coupons either and I shop there a lot.
I haven’t received any surveys. Signed up some time ago
I received a CVS survey this past Sunday about their sale circular. It took me about 10 minutes to complete and I received $10 ECB that doesn’t expire until 3/22!!! Free and easy money 🙂
I signed up for this months ago. Got one survey which I didn’t qualify for and got nothing and then on Tuesday, I got another survey…did it and got $5 ECB! I hope I get more!!
I have been a member for over 2 & 1/2 years and I think I have only done 3 surveys. Once almost immediatly after signing up and the 2nd not too soon after that and then it was almost a year before I got my last one and it has been about 6 months since I did that one.
Not going to get many ECB from the program but I figure it is worth it just the same
I tried signing up, but when I got to the question – if a household member works for a store that sells health & beauty, I said yes & it went straight to thanks for signing up & that’s it. My husband works for Walmart, but I still don’t shop there much. Seems I’m disqualified from it. 🙁
A few weeks ago I got 2 surveys in one week. One for $5 ECB and the other for $10 ECB. Then last Sunday I got another one for $10 ECB to compare the CVS & Walgreens ads. Love it!!!
FYI: I found the first survey in my junk mail folder and was glad I checked it in time. I added it to my safe list and now the emails come to my inbox.
Thanks!! I didn’t know about this!!!
Thanks Collin for your hard work and I love that you always doing more than you probably should to help all of us to save some money!! I had to say that I signed for this advisor panel just the other day when you reminded us and I was so excited to see the first survey in my inbox tonight and after the 3 or 4 question a screen pop and told me thanks but you don’t qualify 🙁 ..bummer
