By consensus, the weekly Walgreen's Ad is being replaced by this comprehensive thread. Until Walgreen's gives us better deals, we'll be able to follow more easily all the comments in one continuous thread.

Please post any tips, deals, coupon finds to help us all improve our Walgreen's shopping experience.


Thanks to Sugraray for the reminder:

If it is a BUY deal, ex: Buy 2 and earn RR, you can use WCR, RR, MQ, IVC whatever you want and still will earn your reward.
If it is a SPEND deal, ex: Spend $12 earn $5 RR, be careful! You cannot use WCR because that is taken off before it totals your spend. Same with IVC coupons (Walgreens coupons, found in the little paper book and also digital). If you have RR, be sure it is the regular manufacturer RR with a normal large barcode. That is treated like a MQ so you do need an item without another coupon to attach to. The store RR have a small barcode and says Store Coupon and lowers your "Spend" amount.

Important Information not to be Ignored: Updating 8/8/2023 Restarting the Info thread.

If you have an issue in store, first come here and post about it. Do not run off to call Corporate because it can have unitended consequences.


(No longer available in store-The monthly book is in your DQ account coupons)
IVC is the paper coupon book found at the front of the store, new each month. Also available as digital store coupons. These are Walgreens coupons that can be paired- used at the same time as regular MQs.

At Walgreens, you must have one item for each coupon to attach to. For example: you are buying detergent, there is IVC for $1/1 and you have MQ $1/1. That is two coupons, so you need to add an item without a Q as a filler. Often Ramen, candy bar, sometimes tuna or broth.



Abbreviations:

DQs (Digital Coupons found on your account)
OTU (One Time Use)
OFY (Only For You-DQs)
Booster (Points coupons found digitally on your account or printed in store at the register's catalina machine)
PO or BOPIS (Pickup Order or Buy Online Pickup In Store)


Do I earn rewards on prescriptions?
You earn 1% Walgreens Cash rewards on the amount you spend out of pocket in our stores, including the amount you spend for a prescription. A prescription with a $0 copay won't earn Walgreens Cash rewards because you didn't pay anything out of pocket for the prescription. (Varies by State)


What do I need to redeem my Walgreens Cash rewards?
Your email or home address is required to redeem Walgreens Cash rewards. The best way to access personalized deals and additional program benefits is by adding your email address to your profile. - Your zip code is your redemption code.


You can earn 5% Walgreens Cash rewards on all Walgreens branded products. This means anytime you buy a product carrying the Walgreens brand name—including beauty products like facial cleansers or nail polish remover and health essentials like vitamins—you'll earn unlimited 5% Walgreens Cash rewards.

How does Pickup at Walgreens work?
Our Pickup service makes it easy to shop your local store online at Walgreens.com or with the Walgreens App, then pick up your order in as little as 30 minutes.4 Choose your store and shop products on Walgreens.com or the Walgreens App. Then choose curbside, drive-thru or in-store pickup. It's easy! We'll send you a notification email (and text if you opt in) when your order is ready, then visit the store and tap the "I'm here" button in the email or text link to let us know. A team member will bring the order to you.


How do I create a digital Wallet for contactless checkout? (Updated some areas have no access to this)

Join myWalgreens® and make sure you're using the latest version of the Walgreens App. Once you sign in to myWalgreens on the app, select your digital Wallet in the menu to add your credit card. Then you can start enjoying fast, contactless checkout!

Q & A
Credit: Valencia22

KikiandD Q:
"I am not a Walgreen's Extreme Couponer, though I aspire to be. I think you actually have to have a total over the booster threshold to get the points. Like, this week my digital booster amount is $30, so I have to actually spend that. I *think* that you can use register rewards in the store as part of your payment and it will still work, but I haven't gotten to this level yet. Still trying to amass register rewards.
Still a little confused about how it works if you use some Walgreen's bucks but still spend over the amount. I don't think that would work but I could be wrong. But another question, If you use Walgreen's bucks but still spend over $20 out of pocket, will that transaction count on your score card (meaning, do seven transactions of $20 or more in December, and earn an extra $10 in points)?"

Valencia22 A:

Yes, you can use Register Rewards to help cover your amount toward Boosters but you have to make sure that the ones you use say, Manufacture CPN at the top. Those count like coupons. You just have to make sure you have an item for each one to attach to. The Register Rewards that say Store CPN at the top work like store coupons so that amount would count against your total and only one can be used per transaction.

As far as boosters, the digital ones are more flexible to use than the printed ones. Printed ones, you can not use any Wags Cash and still earn the Booster. With the digital offers, as long as your subtotal before manufacture's coupons but after any Wags Cash/StoreCredit/Store Qs used is equal to or greater than the amount of your threshold, you can earn the Booster. To specifically answer your question about your 7 transactions, you don't have to spend $20 cash oop each time. Manufacture's coupons and RRs will count towards that $20. I did a transaction this week that may be a little bit more advanced but hopefully it will give you a better idea of what I am saying:
My Booster Offer was $5 wys $20 so I bought:

3 Snickers Bars $2.64 - $1/2 ip
2 Colgate Renewal $13.98 - $3 dq - $3 dq
2 BIC Razors $9.73 - $5 dq
2 Colgate Adv. $7.98 - $4/2 dq
2 Crest PH $6 - $2 mq - $2 mq
Subtotal: $40.33
I redeemed $20 in Wags Cash so now my total was $20.33 (still enough to earn Booster)
$20.33 - $20 qs = .33 + tax (paid oop)
I got back $9 WC ($5 = Booster, $4 = Colgate) $13 RR ($6 = Colgate Renewal, $4 = BIC and $3 = Crest). I also earned an extra $2 WC because I get 10% back all month for my birthday and I got .75 rebate offer for the Snickers

Wags can be confusing and irritating sometimes. I have had my share of failures but it gets a bit easier over time."

Quote from Valencia22 :
There is no limit. Deals are not linked to your card and can be done multiple times over the same week or over multiple weeks on the same card. RR have been known to stop printing for various reasons that have nothing to do with the customer. The manager does sound like a real piece of work. If you have other stores, I would try those instead. If that is your only store and you want to try again, I would try again. You can contact Catalina if the RR don't print. You will need to submit your receipt and I find that it helps to submit a picture of the RR deal.
You've hit your limit is the new go-to bullshit explanation at Wags. Whenever something doesn't work, the jackass manager goes you've hit your limit. The say it because there's not much that you can say back to them. Have you don this deal before? Yes, a few weeks ago. Well, you've hit your limit. What do you say at this point other than ok, give me a refund? The manager has made it clear that he's not going to budge. Wags would rather lie than try to help the customer and figure out what went wrong. A lot of people aren't going to ask for their money back and will just walk out. I guess that's how Wags makes their money. Couponing right now is as bad as it gets. When Wags piles on bullshit like this, we have to call it out.

I haven't exactly been told that I hit my limit. I have had a cashier ask if I had already done the deal on my card and maybe that was why it wasn't working. I said today is the first day of this sale, this is the first store I have been to and y'all just opened. She wasn't rude or anything. She just didn't know and, it is in that regard, I will cut the cashiers a little bit of a break. A lot of them truly don't know how things work because Wags doesn't train them, especially when it comes to coupons and RRs. I have done my fair share of teaching some. I do agree that it is becoming more challenging to do deals. Things change, we adapt, they change some more, we adapt some more or throw in the towel. Just have to decide what is and isn't worth it to you.

I was talking about the manager. I'll cut the cashier some slack but the "I don't know, call customer service" line also doesn't cut it. I put the blame on Wags for not properly training its managers and the managers for not properly training the cashiers. Sometimes it can be something simple like you bought a Sensitive instead of Total and while the RR printed, the $2 dq didn't come off. A manager should be able to figure that out otherwise the Wags system is too complicated for a retail store. The manager shouldn't make up stuff because it's easier for him to do that than say I don't know.

I had accumulated a bunch of Wags cash that were going to expire, so I opted to do a P&G deal that said, buy 4 get $5 RR. So I went out of my way to get 4 participating P&G items. No RR printed. The clerk said it was because I'd used Wags cash, but that wasn't the deal. Finally, the mgr came and added another $5 Wags cash to my acct. But that seems to be another convenient excuse. It's frustrating because, in the past, you could whip out the paper ad and show them the exact terms. Now, if you can't get a signal on your phone to open the app to show the weekly ad, you just have to keep repeating the terms. I think I've been in 2-3 situations where I attempted to open the app to show the deal and got no signal in the store. That can be maddening.

I had no W Cash on my card so I did a transaction yesterday where I earned $12 W Cash. I got an email from Wags today that said Time to Spend Your Walgreens Cash. Geez, give me time to walk in the door...LOL

Wow, thank you to all who replied to my question! This particular store ass manager is outright hostile and threw me out of the store! Nothing printed, I had not done the offer before, she insisted I had to show her in the ad where the offer was, took forever with their lousy wifi, then she insisted she had to go look at the tags on the shelf and she took forever to come back to the front and tell me all smug 'there's no tags for that offer on the shelf!' I told her I don't care whether you tagged the shelves correctly, I showed you the store ad, these items are without question shown in the ad as part of the offer. She dug in her heels, I told her that's a consumer fraud act issue if your store puts out an ad and doesn't honor it in the store, your shelf tags aren't the final say on what's advertised. Then she got mad and told me to leave. Next time she gets bitchy with me I'm buying a bunch of bagged popcorn and summoning my friends the squawking shrieking seabirds to swarm the parking lot for a frenzy of squawking pooping mayhem (store is 2 blocks from the ocean). A few years ago the Florida Attorney General sued the pants off CVS for this same kind of crap - offers in the ads not working in the stores. Anyway, my go to resolution that's worked fairly well for me has been online chat, they almost always fork over the wags bucks without any arguments. Still, there's no excuse for advertising stuff and knowing it won't work in the store.

I would have asked her name, politely, and then gone home, called CS and registered a complaint. If you really want to go nuclear, there's usually a Consumer Protection division of the State Attorney General's office that will enable you to register a complaint against the store. Usually, there's just a form you fill out online. It might take a while, but that will get you a response from Corporate.

There's no excuse for the way that manager treated you, and the least I'd do is call CS and complain. They need to know that this woman is losing them business.

Oh, I completely agree with you zippy2u! Years ago at CVS I actually called corporate right in the store one time, right in front of the shift supervisor who was being that level of unreasonable. The CS told him over speaker phone he was being unreasonable and I was right. I promptly got my ecb and he knew he better not mess with me again unless he was actually right.

Has anyone done P&G deal this week, the spend $20 get $5 RR?
On tuesday I bought two big downy and got $5 RR on 2 and $5 RR on $20
Today I bought 3 olay bar soaps and only got one of $5 RR. I assume its the $5 for buying 3. I believe P&G $5 RR wys $20 has short expiration date

Does wags turn their deals on and off throughout the week or what's going on?

That's interesting. I did Gain/Downy (all they had) on Wednesday and I only got one $5 RR. I did Carefree and didn't get the bogo50% and $5 RR even though it was tagged for it. I had a Colgate RR rejected from a previous week that I tried to use with Colgate RR's from this week. I used a paper 5/25 booster but I got $12 in W Cash. I had a 7/40 digital loaded to my card but my total was less than $40 because I only needed to hit $25. The store was nice and I ended up getting everything fixed but I'm still confused about the extra $7.

I spent 10 minutes in the detergent area trying to find 2 products to do the deal. There was a Gain detergent on the shelf and somebody had hidden a Downy beads. I went to feminine care and the items I wanted were sold out and what I got was in the wrong spot so the whole thing was a mess. I did it on a card that had a 7/40 digital. I should've found something to get to $40 but I was done at that point and just wanted to get what I had and leave. Colgate would've been an option but I was using Colgate RR's to pay and I didn't want to switch to cash. I don't blame Wags or myself. It was one of those days where I was in a hurry to go someplace else and I shouldn't have stopped at Wags.

A little off-topic, but why does the app lie about how much WC you'll get on a deal? It showed almost $8, & I got 53 cents today. Is this why no one uses the app to order?
