    If anyone has an extra they wouldn’t mind sending me, I would be happy to send you something in return! We have used a ton of Advil with our 1 and 2 year olds being constantly sick this winter (and I didn’t have the BOGO Q when i bought these last night–bummer:().

  2. Sarah

    You have it listed here as limit 1, but I bought to Children’s Advil yesterday, but my receipt says “Quantity needed towards this reward: 2, Quantity needed to earn this reward: 2” Does that mean I could do it again for another 4 ECB?

    • Sarah

      Aww man, I don’t have the rebate form – if someone has another extra, I’d love it!

      • picchu

        Yes, you can do it one more time!

        • erika varriale

          i bought all 4 of my advil in one transaction since you need to submit one receipt for the MIR… but only 4 ECBs printed…. but it does NOT say limit reached. anyone else have this issue in trying to purchase all in one transaciton?

          • lovedeals

            Erika I had the same issue. I just bought 4 advil and I received only 1$4 ecb. But at the same time it’s not saying limit reached.

            • Janel H.

              I did the same thing Erika and only the $4 printed. : (

            • Stephanie

              I did mine in two different transactions and got back $4 each time.

          • babzKO

            I bought two Advils and two Thermacare and also printed only one $4 ecb ;(

            • mary

              i call thermacare rebate center and lady named malanda told me the products can be on different recipet but all recipet and barcode from all three product sent to them

  3. shannon

    can this be printed from somewhere online?

  4. Jamie

    Awesome deal! I only use Advil for pain and I have EB to use.I printed the thermacare coupons. I did get the rebate form and I was just waiting on a mm (moneymaker deal) to come up. Thanks Collin! Here I come CVS

  5. Ronee

    I did this twice with the advil yesterday and it printed me out a $4 ECB each time! It also took the reg price off for the B1G1, instead of the sale price. When I get my rebate check, I will have made roughly $6 minus a stamp for 5 bottles of Advil 🙂

  6. Amanda

    Does anyone know if the products have to all be on the same receipt for the rebate or could I send in two receipts to meet the 3 product requirement? Thanks!

    • db

      Hey Amanda,

      I just called the Pfizer rebate center and the representative there told me it had to be all 3 products on ONE receipt. If someone else wants to call and verify, that would work, I called customer service at 1800 879 3477.

      • Amanda

        Thanks for calling! I kind of figured that was the case, but it will usually say on the form that products must all be on one receipt.

        • Evelyn

          DARN!!! I have 2 on one receipt and 1 on the other. I guess, I will just try and send it anyway.

          • moba

            last time a similar rebate was available i submitted 2 reciepts and received my money without problem.

  7. Megan

    I don’t remember seeing the rebate form in Chicago

      • liza

  10. Kidsallgone

    My ECBs have poofed 🙁 🙁 🙁 Will cvs . com re-issue them to me???? Anyone know?
    TIA 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • Stephanie

      I just tried that at Christmas time when I let mine expire accidentally. They told me no 🙁 But, it can’t hurt to try!

    • Kim

      One of the three stores in my area will allow you to use them for one day after they expire, but you have to call and ask to talk to a manager before you go.

    • Dee

      If you set up your card online, you can print them after you sign in. Good luck!

      • mel

        Only your $5 Beauty & Quarterly Bucks can be accessed and printed from cvs.com.

      My CVS allows me to use all the cvs coupons (expired or not) I saved my 20% and 25% postcards that I get in the mail and the $4 off $20 they were giving during December and I am still using them – Just need to find the right cashier??

  11. Stephanie

    If you have the BOGO coupon for the Children’s Advil, it will be more like an $8 moneymaker! I bought two bottles of Advil yesterday on sale for $4.99, then used my BOGO coupon…it took off a whooping $7.20 for one bottle!!! So I only paid $2.78 for two bottles, then got back a $4 ECB! And I did the deal twice. So assuming you can use multiple receipts for the rebate, I would make $7.22. 🙂 Not too shabby!

    • lovedeals

      No, you cannot use multiple receipts.

      • Stephanie

        At least I got some free Advil, that’s good enough for me 🙂

  12. nicole

    Amanda i was wondering about that too.It says your original dated receipt. It seems you need to have all three on 1 receipt.You can contact them at phizer- rebates.com

  13. Taera

    Does anyone have an extra rebate form? I can trade something if someone is looking for something else! Thanks!

  14. Haseena

    If anyone has an extra rebate form I would love to swap it with a coupon for Free International Delight Creamer product exp: 2/28/2013. If anyone is interested please email me at haseena211@hotmail.com. Thanks

  15. Liz

    Im not able to print the thermacare $3/1 coupon..it says i had already printed it…i remember printing them ages ago..how is every1 able to print? Is this the 1st time u guys are printing this coupon?

    • irene

      I remember signing up for it a long time ago, but the coupon was a PDF, not Bricks. It let me sign up again this time. HTH.

      • Geena O

        it let me print only twice this time… wondering how to get the third coupon..! :/ any ideas..? ( i ve only one pc to print from)

    • Liz

      Thanks guys…looks like all the bricks coupons the limit is 2 unless another computer is available..!!

  16. Emilysroses

    • picchu

      It’s only one rebate per household. It normally goes by ur address

    • Taera

      I just emailed you Karnisha! Thanks!

  23. Lisa T

    Question….when I try to click on the link to print the Thermacare coupon it doesn’t take me anywhere. It does this “!” instead. Anyone know why this is happening?

    • fran

      Can you try in a different browser, Lisa? Maybe that will work for you. Or, clear your cookies?!?

  24. AM

    I have extra rebate forms. Does anyone have an extra Children’s Advil BOGO coupon you’d be willing to trade, in exchange for the rebate coupon?

  25. Joyce

    So let me get this straight! You can do the $4 ECB offer on 2 products twice now….but it MUST be as seperate transactions to get each seperate $4 ECB….BUT the Pfizer mail in rebate needs the 3 products on one reciept? Yikes – is that right?

    • Evelyn

      Oh gosh! Mine are just like that. 2 different receipts with 2 Advil in one and 1 on the other (will try to buy one more later to get the extra $4 ECB and I might not get my rebate. Oh man!!!!

    • Karen T.

      Joyce, yes you are correct…

  26. Izabela

    Found one in my RP insert! I HAVE 3 EXTRA if anyone needs! drop me a message:)

    • Taera

      I would love one! Thanks Izabela! Where did you find it in your RP? Maybe I overlooked it?!

    • Conswalla

      May I please have 1. My email is manuelc1@yahoo.com. You’re the BEST Izabela.

    • Haseena

      Izabela-I would love one…my email is haseena211 at hotmail dot com. Thank you

  27. an

    Rebate says not good on 0.5 oz

  28. Lydia

    I found $2/1 children’s advil peelies on the junior strenght advil tablets. I bought 1 childrens advil and 1 infant advil. I used my BOGO coupon and the $2/1 coupon. Somehow the amount deducted for the free advil was $7.20 plus I got the $2 off and then I submited my infant advil to Ibotta for $.75 off. with my $4 ECB I ended up making $3.97 on 2 advil! I can’t tell you if your “free one” will ring up $7.20 off or not but I was EXCITED!

  29. Brian

    I need a rebate form if anyone has an extra. I live in West Virgina and didn’t get it. Kuhn23@hotmail.com. Thank you so much in advance! What a great deal!

    • Vishnu

      I live in NM and my RP come in the mail on Tuesday, I am hoping, I will get the rebate form, but if some one has a spare, I would be delighted to have one. Vishnukoneru@gmail.com

  30. Vishnu

    Can the products be mix and match or do they need to be the same kind? Like 3 Advil, or 3 thermacare? Also is there a purchase date requirement? Would last weeks demitapp and Advil purchases count?

    • carmen

      rebate form says “any 3” so I assume you could buy 3 of the same.
      Also, the purchase needs to be from 1/27/13 to 3/9/13.

  31. Katie

    Anyone have an extra rebate form? 🙂

  32. Sarah

    Anyone know if the Infants Advil is a part of the CVS deal? Is it on sale for $4.99 like the Children’s? Thanks

    • Lydia

      The Infant Advil was part of the deal at my store. I bought one infant and one childrens.

    • Stephanie

      Yes, it’s good for the 0.5 oz and the 4 oz. Which is infant’s and children’s, respectively! HTH!!! 🙂

    • Taera

      Just tried to email you and it failed. Could you please email me? Tscbears@hotmail.com. Thanks!

      • Taera

  33. Jenn

    Im in Ohio. Bought 4 childrens advil. $4 ECB not $8

    • Stephanie

      Did you do one transaction or two? I am pretty sure you have to do two different transactions to get both ECB! HTH!

  34. Megan Vaughan

    I have 3 extra rebate forms-I will be glad to mail them to 3 different people. Just e-mail me at karenrayjones@yahoo.com.
    My sister and I mail each other coupons frequently.
    I’d rather give them away then to let them go to waste!

  37. dj

    so just to clarify, it doesn’t have to be 3 different products, it can be 3 of the same product, correct?

  38. Tina in east Texas

    It’s so nice to see everybody helping everyone out! Just wanted to say, way to go!

  39. Cara

    I have a question. I’m new at couponing and trying my best to understand the best deals and how to combine your coupons. Last night, I was at Cvs and bought two of the Children’s advil with my b1g1 free coupon. I was expecting to get $7.20 taken off the total (for the coupon) but she marked my coupon down to 4.99 for the price of the one product. I thought this is how to were able to get overage??? Or to make a transaction a money maker??? Did she do the right thing, or am I not understanding right?? Please help this new couponer! =)

    • Michelle

      It kind of depends on the cashier, some do the actual price, some do the max allowed amount.

    • carmen

      well, I’m pretty sure she did the right thing according to store policy :), but sometimes you get lucky and the cashier will give you the max on the coupon. The “money-makers” that I usually get are after-the-fact, like with rebates or rewards–rarely though, in cases where the cashier is either generous or doesn’t care or doesn’t check, you can get “instant savings” like some people got when their cashier took $7.20 off. So yeah, in the future, plan on just getting the actual price of the product (before taxes) taken off.

  40. lvmy3grls@hotmail.com

    Any advice on where to get the Advil coupon? I printed it last week but can’t locate it and now you can’t print it, thanks.

    • Cara

      The b1g1 coupon is no longer available, but you can print a $1.50 off one coupon. =)

  41. db

    Anyone still have an extra rebate?

  42. bl

    anyone have an extra rebate?

  43. Michelle

    Check the magic scanner!

    I scanned my card at the magic scanner and got a coupon for $3 off a $10 dollar health product purchase.

    I used the BOGO it took of the max of 7.10, $3 cvs scanner coupon and paid like .22 cents. The register wouldn’t let me use the 1.50 coupon, but I can’t complain. I also got my 4.00 in cvs bucks.

  44. Shannon

    For those of you that get the RP early there is a $3/1 centrum. 🙂

  45. tina

    Does anyone have an extra rebate form? I would really appreciate it.
