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."

I did see that😊. I just remember what it was like in my early stages. Although Wags was much easier back then, I had some missteps and several people helped guide me in the right direction.

This is the reason we post so they can learn. Not reading is the reason some people are having a hard time. They literally skip over the answers to post a question.

I do agree with you that is the case a lot of the time. The reason I answer in certain cases is because sometimes, even with reading everything, someone doesn't quite grasp it just yet.

Thanks to both of you and everyone for their helpful hints.

I DO read things, often several times. Most likely due to getting older, medical conditions as well as medications, etc., I just don't grasp things like I used to.

Also, one thing I've noticed, at least for myself, is that lots of folks use acronyms/abbreviations or some phrase unique to a specific store when posting and I often have no clue what is being talked about.

No matter what, I appreciate all the help. Thanks!

I'm curious about spending Wags money in combination with various deals.
Right now, there's a number of promotions and I'm wondering if and how I might combine them to the best effect.
1) Buy 2 Gillette cartridges, razors, or razor systems. get $10 in Wags cash rewards
2) Spend $30 on P&G products, get $10 in Wags cash rewards
3) Spend booster $6 Wags cash wys $22

I assume that the second two require me to spend those amounts (including MQs), but I could manage to get #1 if I only used Wags cash. But, say I just bought $30+ of razors, does that mean I'd get the three deals, so $26 back in Wags money? And I could presumably stack a paper booster with the others?

Would I run into trouble if I used a $5 off P&G RR to defray the costs? I've gotten the impression that a P&G coupon might mess things up. Of course, if I had a total that was, say $36 in store and used it, would the fact that I still hit the $30 spend threshold eliminate any problems?

TIA for answering all these questions.

In certain instances, yes. But if it's posted that booster coupons are OTU (One Time Use) unless otherwise stated, that's not difficult to grasp.

Couple examples of my earlier post -

OTU - thanks for spelling it out; now, hopefully I can remember this.

'booster' coupons - what is a booster coupon? is it something unique to Walgreen? I just looked in my Walgreens account and as usual, I had trouble finding any coupons. So I did a search for 'coupons' and got some but nothing that says 'booster'. I have no clue what a booster coupon is.​

Sorry, but I believe it's understandable how this can get confusing.

You can select which coupons display when you look online at the digital coupons. There are categories, like "Household", "Beauty", etc. Select "Other" and if you have personalized spend booster promotions (Get $6 in Wags bucks wys $25) they will show up there.

Repped and thanks for the info. Here's what I encountered when I checked the online digital coupons. After the word 'other' was (3) but when I went to that category I got the following message: 'No coupons available. Please come back later for more. Try the Weekly Ad for deals in your area.' I guess I was expecting to find three (3) coupons but not today, lol.

Boosters can be online (like, spend $25, get $7 Walgreen's cash) or paper (same things, buy $$, get $ Walgreen's cash). The online boosters are specific to the account they appear on. I only have one Walgreen's account, and I do NOT get boosters every week. Maybe two out of three weeks or every other week. The paper (catalina print out type) boosters are not account specific, so if you find one on the ground in the parking lot, you can use it (as long as it isn't expired).

Thankfully boosters are normally the first items on the front page. I'm getting the same message when I click "other." Within the last few weeks, they have somehow semi-broken the digital q page. The main page is supposed to show you all unclipped available qs and then, if you wanted, you could further break it down with categories but right now you can only see 50 so you have to either pick categories or go to product pages to find what you are looking for.

You are correct. And based on what you just said and some other's comments, maybe we should have a "Basics" page that explains things like that, abbreviations, terminology, etc. since things can get buried among the posts.

Not really since I literally just started doing that. I normally say it outright but since it's said all the time, I said OTU for future reference. And again, reading is the key to knowing. "Booster" is mentioned every single week in this thread. I have found that many people only want the deals & info spelled out for them. And they are the same people that do not contribute on a regular basis. I've seen lurkers jump in the thread that I've not seen once in the thread but they are lurking for deals instead of wanting to learn & be regulars.

I'll help those that want to learn and it's a process so I'll help the trying person. I refuse to help lazy people that will read only their post where you answer a question already answered in the thread. Some members have been here for years & refuse to contribute. They ask questions & I skip their posts. That goes for any person not learning or contributing. Or if you're a pest from another thread in the forum, I skip those posts too.

And I'm not referencing newbies that are trying to learn but rather those that have zero intention & only looking for a score. Just like some people jumped in my messages trying to score deals but have never once posted in this thread nor do they contribute elsewhere. And for a member here to admit they're using us for info, just no. I refuse to help these kinds of people. I don't care I just refuse to help those that refuse to contribute or learn.

I tried that but it seems me, you and a select few are the only ones willing to really contribute to it.
