CVS: Earn ECBs for taking surveys

by crystal on June 18, 2009

Way back when, I posted about the CVS Advisor Panel and a number of you joined and told me you've been earning ECBs from it.

Frugal Indy just wrote me and let me know that they are currently accepting new applicants again, so if you have a CVS store in your area and you shop there on occasion (or more than occasionally!), go here to sign up for the CVS Advisor Panel. You may receive surveys throughout the year you can participate in and earn $5-$15 in ECBs for your time. Read more here.

For those of you who are a member of the CVS Advisor Panel, I'd love to hear about your experiences and if you've been earning ECBs from it.

1 Erin June 18, 2009 at 8:37 am: I signed up many months ago and was offered a survey in May. I got $10 in ECB. Sweet!
2 Michele June 18, 2009 at 8:44 am: I am part of the CVS advisor panel, and it has been great. While I don’t get surveys frequently, I get them often enough. The surveys are always interesting, and I feel like I am really contributing to making their store a better place to shop. It seems like for each survey I get $5 in ECBs which is a great incentive. I am always excited when I see a survey from them in my inbox!
3 Heahter June 18, 2009 at 8:52 am: I have been doing it for a while now, and I love it!!! The surveys are quick and easy, and I have earned $5 and $10 ECB!
4 christie June 18, 2009 at 8:56 am: I’ve only received 1 survey in the 4 months or so that I’ve been on the advisory panel. The surgey was a little lengthy but in reality only took 5-10 minutes to complete. I received $10 ECB for it! Totally worth it!
5 Ronda June 18, 2009 at 8:58 am: Just signed up. Thanks, I can’t wait!!
6 Tricia June 18, 2009 at 9:01 am: I just signed up for this. Thanks for providing the link!
7 jessica June 18, 2009 at 9:12 am: I’ve been doing them a year, and I’ve only gotten 1 survey for 10 ECB. Granted a good return, but I wish I got them more often.
8 Christi June 18, 2009 at 9:16 am: I have been a CVS advisor for over 2 years now…The survey’s are infrequent, but I’ve probably got 6 over the last 2 years and they were all for $10…nothing like a surprise of $10 ECBs waiting in your inbox !
9 Letty June 18, 2009 at 9:19 am: I signed up a year ago, and have NEVER been asked to do a survey. I figure I am not in the demographic they are looking for. I woud love to get a survey!
10 Erin June 18, 2009 at 9:21 am: I signed up 6? months ago and I just got a survery for this Sunday! I’m so excited it is for $10 ECB’s and it deals with comparing the Walgreens ad to the CVS ad. I had gotten an email earlier but didn’t qualify for the survey because I don’t have prescriptions to fill and the survery was about prescription drugs.
11 Momma June 18, 2009 at 9:22 am: Thanks for sharing this! I signed up as well. If I couple any ECB I get from this, and the CVS gift cards I get from MyPoints.com, I should be set
12 Kim June 18, 2009 at 9:34 am: I signed up a few months ago when you posted about it. I’ve gotten two different surveys – they were all about how to make the store better, from comparing ads to redesigning their photo center price chart. I’ve gotten $5 ECB’s each time I did it, so it was well worth my 10 minutes!
13 Ashley June 18, 2009 at 9:38 am: I’ve only gotten one survey worth $10 ECBs.
14 Crystal June 18, 2009 at 9:42 am: I am part of the panel and I once received $10 ecb for taking a pretty simple survey and I’m eligible to do one again this Sunday!
15 Lee June 18, 2009 at 9:51 am: I have been a member for about 8 months I have gotten 1 survey. I earned 10 ECB for it, so I would never complain it is free after all!
16 Chris from St. Mary's June 18, 2009 at 9:52 am: I have been a member for six months and I have never gotten a survey.
17 Roxanne June 18, 2009 at 9:56 am: I signed up over a year ago and haven’t had any surveys to do yet. Oh well, it’s still worth a try to sign up.
18 kandle June 18, 2009 at 9:58 am: I signed up about six or so months ago. I’ve done more than four survey and have always gotten the ECB’s. Most of the longer surveys are for $10.00 and the quick ones are $5.00. I figure for looking at the ads for CVS and Walgreens (which I do every Sunday anyway), and telling them what I think, $10.00 is mostly profit.
19 Julie June 18, 2009 at 10:00 am: I signed up over a year ago and have only had one survey. I received $5 ECB for it. Wish I’d get more!!
20 Stacy June 18, 2009 at 10:02 am: I signed up not quite a year ago and have done 2 surverys for them that both earned $10 ecbs. It’s such a treat when those print on your receipt!
21 Jennifer June 18, 2009 at 10:06 am: I posted about this on my Coupon Mommie site too just yesterday.
I enjoy doing the surveys and earning the FREE ECBs. They are very random but easy to complete and I love providing my input to help make an influence.
22 Liz June 18, 2009 at 10:13 am: How awesome! I just signed up and am really excited to earn ECB!!! Seems like a pretty easy quick way to get some free stuff! Thanks for the info!
23 Jan June 18, 2009 at 10:16 am: I’ve gotten two $10 surveys in about a year
24 Jolene June 18, 2009 at 10:18 am: I signed up a couple months ago and have done one survey. They gave me 20ecb’s for it. Totally worth my 5-10 minutes for doing the survey.
25 Carolyn June 18, 2009 at 10:41 am: I signed up the last time you mentioned this and have had 2 surveys since, earning $10 and $5 ECBs. When you sign up, it does mention that you will probably only get 3 or 4 surveys a year, so you shouldn’t expect it to be a frequent thing. I’m happy to do them whenever they are sent, and like everyone else has said, it’s a good ECB payoff for a very short amount of time spent in answering questions.
26 Cynthia Crowell June 18, 2009 at 10:45 am: I have completed 2 surveys, one for $5 and one for $10. It is so worth 10 minutes of your time!!
27 Shannon June 18, 2009 at 10:48 am: I’ve done one survery and it was worth $10 ECBs… which definitely is worth it, in my opinion. $10 free money for maybe 10 minutes of time.

28 Faiza June 18, 2009 at 11:17 am: I love CVS Advisor. I have signed up my husband and myself so occasionally we both get the surveys. Yeay!
29 heather June 18, 2009 at 11:26 am: Thank you so much for providing this link! I just signed up. Even if I get surveys infrequently, some is better than none!
30 beth June 18, 2009 at 11:28 am: I’ve taken two surveys so far. I’ve gotten 10 ecbs each time. It’s a great way to make their stores better:)
31 Shelly June 18, 2009 at 11:30 am: I’ve made several extra ECB’s this way. The survey’s aren’t often but they pay well! I’ve heard several people signed up but never got a survey so I’m happy every time I get one!
32 fairy dust June 18, 2009 at 12:03 pm: Way cool! Just signed up and am looking forward to participating – thank you for posting this!!
33 momtaylor June 18, 2009 at 12:21 pm: If you haven’t been getting surveys, I suggest you check your spam! Mine were going there and I emailed them about it and they told me 2 email addresses to add to my contacts, but that they would key me in for the next survey to go out. I did and they sent it and I received it in the right place. However, I am having an issue with the ECB not being credited to my card like they said. I have emailed numerous times and have not gotten any responses. Make SURE you attach your card correctly. I am not sure if that is my issue or what.
34 Jannel June 18, 2009 at 12:31 pm: I signed up a few months ago and still have not gotten any surveys. Hope to get some soon!
35 Charlene June 18, 2009 at 1:00 pm: I’ve been a member for quite some time and have only been offered one survey opportunity–definitely worth it, though, and some obviously do receive more offers.
36 Therese June 18, 2009 at 1:03 pm: I just signed up and I can’t wait to get my first survey! Thanks for posting this. I’ll have to put a link to this on my blog!
37 Christy June 18, 2009 at 1:24 pm: We just got CVS stores in my area, after the merger with Longs. I’ve got my Care Card and can’t wait to start earning ECBs!
38 Alisha Hughes June 18, 2009 at 2:37 pm: THank you Crystal.
39 Kerrie Wilson June 18, 2009 at 4:12 pm: I did my first one about a month ago and received a 10$ ecb at the end of May.It was great to get free money to spend at CVS,and it only took me about 15 minutes to do the survey.
40 Maria June 18, 2009 at 5:11 pm: i just sign up this month and i received my first survey link. they will send me the link sunday and im supposed to have the ads in front of me… they say they will give me $10 ECB
41 Lady Di June 18, 2009 at 10:28 pm: Just signed up. Thank you MSM!!
42 Deanna June 19, 2009 at 3:28 pm: :O( they wont let me because my sis works for CVS. SIgh.
43 A.D. June 19, 2009 at 6:46 pm: I signed up several months ago. I have done two surveys so far and earned $10 each time. They are very easy to complete and I love the “free” ecb’s.
