I think there's only one (soon to be none) that has a 500 vgc!

will be skipping today

Well my late last night CVS buys posted with TODAYS date the 20th as the date. That makes me think there must be some time cut-off for processing ie next business day after some point (my clock is almost 5PM). So, I think I am done and not going to risk today's buys posting on the 21st. Been a fun ride!

Oh yes, i save all of them! each and every one.

What a burden to scan them all in though haha...


So should we all go out today too? and dispute them on that if we do clarify that some awards will be posted for transactions made on the 20th?

I just did my last 4 today. I don't lose much if I don't get CB and If I do get CB, great! It's a low risk, high reward situation. I'll post tomorrow to see if i get CB. It has been a great ride and thankfully, its over.
