Walgreens' Register Rewards

Walgreens Register Rewards (RR) program is my least favorite of the reward programs I use.

1) RRs are MFC, and therefore CANNOT be used with another MFC on one item

2) Only ONE (1) RR for a product will print per transaction. If you purchase more than one RR item in the same transaction
     you will only get one RR.

3) If you use your RR to purchase another of the same RR product you will NOT receive another RR. Example: Get $2 +UP WYB (1) Crest toothpaste. #1: Buy (1) Crest toothpaste, get $2 RR. Transaction #2: Use $2 RR from previous transaction to purchase another Crest toothpaste. You will NOT get $2 RR back.

HOWEVER,
If you use RR that you received from one product to purchase a different RR product you will get your RR. Example: Get $2 RR on purchase of Excedrin pain reliever and get $2 RR on purchase of Crest toothpaste. Transaction #1: Buy (1) Excedrin pain reliever, get $2 RR Rewards back. Transaction #2: Use $2 RR to purchase Crest toothpaste, get $2 RR back.

4) RR can be used on most items (exclusions include alcohol and prescription drugs, so read the fine print).

5) The amount of a RR can exceed the cost of an item, but you will still get the full RR amount credited toward your transaction.*

Here's an example that shows you how to make the most of your RR:

Scott's Naturals paper towel 6 packs are on sale for $4. You have (1) $1/1 MFC and (1) $3 RR coupon. You CANNOT use the MFC AND the RR on one (1) pack of papertowels. So, pick up the cheapest item you can find, like a pack of Silly Bandz on sale for $0.25. Transaction: Buy (1) pack of paper towels and (1) pack of Silly Bandz. Your purchase will total $4.25. Use (1) Scott's $1/1 MFC coupon for the paper towels and (1) $3 RR coupon for the Silly Bandz. $4.25 - $1 MFC - $3 RR = $0.25. It's not the free paper towels you would have been able to get at CVS or Rite Aid, but paying $0.25 for six rolls of paper towels is still an amazing deal!

*The RR amount cannot exceed the cost of the transaction.
