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.

Q & A

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."

Has anyone ever checked to see if the additional item that was missing is on the shelf before picking up your order? Or have you had any success getting a substitution at pick up? It just seems unfair that I couldn't get something else just because I didn't want my total $$ amount or the brand I was buying to change as the result of approving substitutions.

Thanks!
I have a 7/30 and 5/15 online or in store WG cash offer and today got a 7/30 in store only paper cat. I also have a $5/2 Hallmark valentine cards. If I include 2 Hallmark cards in my $30, can my total fall to $25 after the $5 digital coupon and still get the WG cash deals? Or does my total have to be $30 after all digital coupons.

Well, a quick update on this, I had an amazing interaction with the shift manager. I explained what happened. She returned all the items, found a more expensive item for the BOGO that I could use and rang everything up so I just owed a few dollars. I did end up paying a couple more dollars net than I otherwise would have, but she allowed me to use WG cash and I was satisfied. She said the store manager had authorized her to handle situations like this.

It's so frustrating because I was looking online, as there is now a 20% off coupon. Looking at the ad, it looks like there's a 'spend $20, get $10' offer on some hair products, but when I put qualifying items in my card, that $10 did not appear to be applying. Plus of course when you order online, there's a chance the items won't be in stock. While I had an amazing experience with the manager recently, I'm not sure I'd push my luck with more potential problems coming up.
I have to pick up a prescription tomorrow and might see what I can work out in the store to use all my boosters. I guess if I get the Valentines cards, I'll just add them above my threshold totals.
I took screenshots of everything after the last debacle. This time, I think I'm just going to return everything. I want to do the survey, but am wondering if a negative survey will impact the store. Anyone know?

It was quite the effort though. First girl I saw, I asked to speak with a manager. She says ok and goes on stocking a shelf. An older guy asked if I asked to speak with a manager and I said yes. He said, well, you're looking at one and pointed to the young woman. She looked kind of sheepish, put the stuff down and walked over. She did not know what to do, so she called someone else.
A very nice woman came - another manager - and offered to give me a gift card. I was surprised and said if that's an option, that would be fine, but I had already decided a return would be easiest. She calls someone else, who says we'd have to call customer service to get the approval to do that. I had no interest in standing around while she did that, so said I'd just take the refund.
Somehow they messed up the refund and I may have gotten $10 more than I was supposed to. I haven't checked my credit card to see if they managed to adjust it again after the fact.
I'm just glad I didn't share the deal here and lead others to be frustrated by this too.

The one time I did file a negative feedback via the receipt or an email asking me about my experience, I simply pointed out that I was frustrated that I normally could expect items I ordered online supposedly "in stock" were often not in stock when I arrived to pick up the order. So I stressed the problem was with software and inventory updates, not the people working at the store. The result was a nice email from the mgr with a $5 Wags cash added to my acct for the inconvenience. so I wouldn't worry too much about responding in a constructive way to suggest improvements that could make the whole shopping experience better. They seem to be open to that kind of feedback.

I get to the store for online pickup, ask for the receipt. No Wags cash earned. Since they've substituted some cheesier Oral B toothbrushes that somehow don't qualify for the $5 cash back and have managed via the substitution to depress my order total below the $30, I get no Wags cash back. I ask the mgr about it and she just gives me 10k points. No real argument, but the store is busy and this is MN so everyone seems to have this oddball upper Midwest niceness. I'm sure there's jerks here but I've yet to run into one. So after $18 and some change oop, I get $10 back in store credit, so end up paying about $8 for 2 Tom's of Maine toothpastes, a bag of Ghirardelli squares, 2 cans of Blue Diamond almonds and 3 oral b toothbrushes. So I'm back to shopping at Wags after a hiatus of several months.
