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."

Question about Q expiration dates on the Wags rewards front.
I have 2 Wags cash rewards deals:
1) runs from 2 /3 - 2/ 11
2) expires on 2 /3

Does this mean that the two will stack on 2/ 3 only or does it mean that stacking is not an option? TIA

It means that both should stack on 2/3.

Thank you!

With any luck, I can triple stack with a paper booster.

Disabled couponers are not able to go to the store. Used to send my husband without first ordering for pick up and guess what? He also found items out of stock so that is not a solution in my city.

ETA: Not sure how it can be a 'lazy ass employee issue' as the web site, not an employee, tells me the stock is not sufficient to do my order.

They normally have it in the back. They just refuse to get it for you. I absolutely know this as fact. They cancel orders on purpose. It's a common problem. If you don't believe me, ok but employees have even gotten on SM and admitted to canceling people's orders on purpose. And the app & site can't always be trusted as if the store doesn't add the current qty to their system, it'll tell you there are none with a shelf full. But what do I know, I've only been doing this since the beginning. I know their system better than they do.

And yes there are disabled couponers but for those that aren't, you're going to miss good deals relying solely on curbside. FYI, you can still not get your items even after you place your order.

Read on IG that as of yesterday afternoon second $5 RRs were not printing for many items. Fab, maybe that was the issue with ur second store not working properly
It's mostly the attitude that gets me upset. The employees really don't care. It's call customer service. It's not our job to help you or make you happy. If your RR didn't print, those are the breaks. I'm too busy to spend time dealing with coupon issues.

I honestly think Wags last lost their minds. They had the Kinder eggs on clearance a couple of days ago for 29 cents. Ralphs has them in this week's ad for $2.29. The exact same Harry Potter ones. I appreciate the great price but why?

I heard that Wags was giving double rewards on curbside a week or two ago. You got the points and if they printed you a receipt when you picked up your order you got the RR's, too. I'm pretty sure that my store would've ripped up the RR's if they had printed.

I'm a disabled couponer; guess I didn't make that clear. I rarely leave the house. I'm supposed to go for a dental cleaning tomorrow and am not sure if I'll be able to. If I do go, it will be the first time going out this year.

And I have had different experiences than you. As an example, per your last statement, after being able to place an order (when the site says the items are available) and I have someone go to pick up the order, I have NEVER had the items/order not be available. Maybe different areas do things differently. I would not assume to know how every Wags works.

I live in a small town and I love my Wags team. If I show them a deal on my phone that didn't print RR or credit cash, they add WC to my account. And they are great at letting me know if there are new markdowns. Our Rite Aid closed a year ago, so Wags is the only non-grocery store drug store in town.

I have always felt like the Catalinas have always been a poor business model from a CS standpoint. Why would you offer a reward that you are not 100% in control of giving out? If the other company makes a mistake, you look bad for it or you have to give credit as goodwill that you will not be reimbursed for. Either way, you lose.

And then one day corp will call and say that they can no longer issue points if a RR doesn't print. My local store goes back and forth between being able to issue points and saying tough luck. I don't blame the stores. They're obviously reading off a script because I hear the same line at every Wags that I go to. Corp wants customer service to handle it but who wants to spend 30 minutes on the phone fighting with somebody over Crest toothpaste?

And if you get a RR on a P&G product, you can't use it to buy another P&G product in the same week (except in rare cases). What sense does that make? Shouldn't the point of a P&G RR be to encourage you to buy more P&G items? It shouldn't be to help Unilever. It's the dumbest system in retail.

I was at one store like that the other day, no help, no nothing. Thankfully my closest store is super nice. Especially helpful for me cuz Wags is super confusing for me still (kinda just starting)

I believe there are stores that print RRs on curbside pick up and some that don't. I have not tried to see if mine does. It's too bad you have an "ugly" store Frown
