I did 2 identical transactions, but somehow they came out differently.
#1 (my card)
8.99 Maybelline Mineral Power
1.50 Paper
=10.49
-3 Maybelline Q
-4 ECB
-3.49 ECB (4 dollar ECB adjusted)
+.18 tax
=.18 on Gift Card
+8.99 Maybelline ECB, which is a profit of 1.32
#2 (DH card)
8.99 Maybelline Mineral Power
1.50 Paper
.50 Mounds Bar (this was used b/c the ECB didn’t adjust so I needed a filler)
=10.99
-3 Maybelline Q
-8 ECB
+.18 tax
=.17 (a penny overage!) on Gift Card
+8.99 Maybelline ECB, which is a profit of .82
Grand total: Bought 20.98 worth of merchandise for a profit of 2.14, which is 100% savings!

Great job! Did you see the limit on the Maybelline is actually 2? I just went and got another one on my card and my boyfriend's card this morning. Yay!
