Walgreens Register Rewards

These are Walgreen's Register Rewards (RR). They are like gift cards that print from the register when you buy certain items that are listed in their ad and are from the manufacturer. They look like worthless slips of paper. They, however, are not. They are like cold hard cash. Cold hard cash that have a lot of rules.

RR rules

• have to be used 2 weeks from print date (see top for expiration date)
• This is the confusing one: can be used on anything in the store, except for products made by the same manufacturer as the item that printed the RR. If you use a RR that printed when you bought, say, Johnson & Johnson baby wash to pay for a Johnson & Johnson other product like lotion it WILL go through. However, if the lotion was supposed to print a RR, it will not print another RR. So the rule is: use RR to pay for products made by other companies if they are supposed to print another RR. You can use RR to pay for other items that print a RR if you follow that rule. You can tell who gave you which RR by looking at the bottom of the RR. It says "Thank You from Glade" or whoever.
• One thing about Walgreens in general is that you have to have more items than manufacturer coupons and RR count as coupons since they are from manufacturers. That means if you have 5 items and 5 coupons and want to pay with a RR then you have to get a cheap filler item, like a clearance item or piece of candy. I usually grab a couple of things to use just in case because I'm not smart enough to have that part figured out before I get to the register. The in store coupons don't count in this number- they ring up like a sale.
• You can only get one RR per item per transaction. If you wanted to get 3 things of floss you'd have to do 3 transactions to get the RR to print on each.
• You can't use RR to pay for sales tax.

This is super confusing at first but it's totally worth figuring out. I have gotten so much free toothpaste, body wash, razors, etc from here by using RR to pay for items that print RR.
