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 sugraray99 :
As far as I know, if you use WCR online, you will not earn WCR, even if you pick up in store. It shows on the pick up receipt as "Pending" but then you don;t get it. Which stinks because the prices on Nexxus online are so much cheaper than in store. Maybe you can buy it in store and price match to the website? I know LadyD does that, but I have not tried. If that works, you can use whatever amount of WCR that keeps you above $20 before tax. So if your products are $28, you can use $5 WCR but not $10. MQs don't affect the threshold for Spend deals, so clip whichever ones are best for your products.

HTH and good luck!
thank you

Another question: If an item is 19.99 and the spend deal is $20, it won't work at Walgreens, correct?
There no such thing as the 98% rule at CVS?

before I pull the trigger on this, would this work
buy 2 nexxus conditioner @ 16.99 eac and 1 nexxus shampoo at 11.99 each, total 45.97
-$13 in DQs = 32.97+tx
redeem $5 in WC, pay 27.97+ tx, earn $20 in WC?

also for some reason the 15% wys 40 won't come off with code15

I am sorry that seem may seem like basic questions, but I have been burned a couple of times now with transactions where I felt, I did it right.

Correct that there is no 98% rule, must spend $20. I don't pay with WCR on spend deals as they block the boosters from working.

After reading sugraray99 and LadyD's posts, my understanding is that when the threshold is met, don't pay with any WCR online otherwise you will not get WCR; however, if you use WCR to pay partially in store, you will still get your WCR. Is this correct?

And the qualified threshold is before any digital Qs, either online or in store. Correct?

TYSM for your generous sharing. That helps a lot to shop in walgreens.

Not working even in store. I have tried & done so with success before but something changed to block the points from being awarded paying in store too.

Keep an eye out for these. They are clearanced for .15 each. They can be found near the checkout on the top shelf. Only the stores with long checkout lanes have them. One store had the clearance tag, another store didn't. At the store that didn't have the tag I had them scan one to see what it rang up at and sure enough, they were .15. Also this store had some Halloween stuff left. Just some various flavors of candy corn and other non candy stuff. The signs and tags said 70% off but I had her scan a bag of candy corn to see what it rang up at. Still only 70% off so I said no thanks to that. Darn, my son likes candy corn and hasn't had any yet so I was hoping to get some. The other store I was at didn't have anything Halloween left. On the Haribo gummy cardboard stand in the aisle there were misc flavors of gummy worms, strips, etc. and I found three bags of the Halloween kind. Went up to see what they rang up at. They scanned regular price at .99 and right away she said that the Halloween was 70% so she started to mark them down to .30 but I didn't want to pay that so I told her thanks but no thanks. Oh well. Glad I got the dark chocolate. These are really good, too. They don't taste bitter like a lot of dark chocolates do, and the sea salt helps.

I got an email from Wags suggesting that if I shopped twice in Nov. and spent more than $10 each time, I'd earn $7 in W Cash rewards.

So today, I was shopping for almonds on sale. Spent $26. But on the way in the store, I found a catalina on the ground that said if I spend $25, I'll get $7 in W Cash rewards. That deal did work, so there's $7 on my account. I know that I can't use that in order to reach the spending threshold for the other deal. But does this exclude the deal I got in the email? In short, do I have to begin from scratch to earn the other deal in my account or can I shop just once more and spend $10 to qualify for this?

I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to Wags shopping so thanks in advance for advice.

Just need to shop one more time. But fair warning, sometimes the pts amount changes. It did to me when it said only 3 times, then it gave me only $5 & not 7.

The weekly ad this week is very vexing. If there are lots of deals, I can't figure out how to see them. "View All" shows me nothing. I see on IHW she has many pages of stuff, though.

ETA: After fumbling for a while, I found you can start by setting "Jump To" to "Deals of the Week" , then use "next category" at the bottom to cycle through all the things. "View All" appears to do nothing.

But hey, I did discover (thanks to IHW - not to Wags itself) that the Chili's GC deal is back. Buy 2x$15 Chili's GC and get a $10 Wag GC, or basically a 33% savings. This is a great deal if you eat at Chilis (or On the Border, or Maggiano's).
