At the end, when I checked out, a $2.00 OYNO catalina printed out. It was a result of buying the Crest products. A 'thank you from Crest' was what the catalina said. I'm not sure how many you have to buy to trigger the catalina to print out. I don't know if you can get it with getting 1 or 2 crests, but I got 3 tonight and the catalina printed out. Now, this particular catalina can be used on ANYTHING (unless prohibited). It's not just a coupon for Crest. OYNO are my favorite kind of catalinas to get. :)
