anyone get anything else in their email this week?
my standard disclaimer:
the coupons for specific items (like the christophe and playskool) have been working for anyone in the past. the $/$$ coupons ($5 off $30, etc.) will beep "not for card" if they were not emailed to you. but then again the $/$$ have a tendency to beep "not for card" even if they were emailed to you, because apparently cvs has not perfected their system.
if you have tried using these $3/$15, $4/$20, or $5/$30 coupons, what happened?
walgreens withdraws bid for longs, cvs free to expand empire
Walgreen Waves Bye To Longs

Shareholders unhappy with Longs Drug Stores' agreement to be bought by CVS Caremark saw their hopes for a better price fade Wednesday night after Walgreen abandoned its competing bid for the pharmacy chain.
After the closing bell, Walgreen (nyse: WAG - news - people ) announced it had withdrawn its $75 per share cash proposal to acquire California-based Longs Drug Stores (nyse: LDG - news - people ).
Walgreen shares rose 1.3%, or 35 cents, to $26.49 in after-hours trading, as investors rejoiced that they wouldn’t be dragged into a prolonged battle with Longs. Longs shares, on the other hand, dropped 3.5%, or $2.47, to $69.21. In the last month, CVS shares have tumbled 20.4% and Walgreen shares plummeted 27.3%.
Last month, Longs said it was turning down Walgreen's offer in favor of a lower-priced deal with rival drugstore chain CVS Caremark (nyse: CVS - news - people ) that is more certain to be finalized and wouldn’t pose anti-trust risk. (See “ Drugstore War.”) Walgreen had offered Longs $75 per share, or about $2.8 billion, well above an already accepted bid of $71.50 per share from CVS Caremark, worth about $2.7 billion. Longs agreed to the deal with CVS in August. CVS reaffirmed its offer on Sunday and extended the deadline to Oct. 15.
Walgreen Chief Executive Jeffrey A. Rein said in a letter to Longs that given the significant turmoil in the U.S. economy over the last few weeks, it doesn’t make sense to continue a prolonged battle for the company.
“While we believe we made a compelling proposal for Longs, we do not believe it would be in the best interests of Walgreens shareholders, customers or employees to allow this situation to remain unresolved for an extended period of time,” he said.
Rein said that Walgreen’s strong balance sheet and cash flow will allow it to focus on maximizing shareholder value.
Last month, Pershing Square Capital Management, one of the largest shareholders in Longs, made it clear that it opposed the deal with CVS and identified four other potential buyers for the drug store chain. Pershing, which is headed by William Ackman, owns about 3 million shares in Longs, or 9.2%, and has previously said that CVS' bid didn't adequately value Longs' real estate holdings.
Two other major shareholders, Advisory Research and CtW Investment Group, have also publicly questioned the CVS deal.

poll: does the 4th of july coupon work?
cvs says they're listening to us...
The company said 50 million customers have signed up for ExtraCare and that it has made changes to its ExtraCare program based on feedback from bloggers. One such change was making more clear in store circulars the particulars of each deal.It has also curbed abuse that has risen from the electronic manipulation of coupons and stores that allowed "Superstacking," a way of using multiple cash-off coupons (say, using a coupon for $3 off a $15 purchase in addition to a coupon for $4 off a $20 purchase on the same order).
John Barron, director of relationship management at CVS, said the company works with "coupon experts" — shorthand for bloggers who are the most savvy about CVS policies and discounts — to educate shoppers about its program.
"While we do not monitor all shopping blogs and consumer forums, we do try to stay abreast of what customers are sharing through these outlets and make every effort to incorporate their feedback into our ExtraCare program," he said.
