How Many Register Rewards Can I Get?
One of the questions I get a lot when I post Walgreens deals is:
How Many Register Rewards can I get?
I know this question might seem basic to some people who have been shopping at Walgreens for a while, but for Newbie Couponers Walgreens can be very confusing and I know this question often comes up!
Walgreens Ad Says that Register Rewards are Limit 1 per Person. So the natural question that follows is Can I buy more than 1 Register Reward Deal?
The answer is 2 Fold so I’m going to answer this in 2 sections hopefully you will catch the difference:
1) You can Only Buy 1 Of Each Register Reward Deal Per Transaction!
For each Register Reward Deal listed in the ad you can purchase 1 per transaction. That means that in the deal above. The Listerine Mouth Wash and Listerine Pocket Packs are the same deal. So you can purchase 1. Either the Listerine Mouth Wash or the Pocket Packs. If you want to purchase both Items you need to do this in separate transactions. If you purchase both items together only the first register reward will print since there is a limit of 1 per transaction.
2) You can Buy Multiple Register Reward Deals in the Same Transaction!
This simply means that if there is more than one deal in the ad that you want to take advantage of then you can do these deals in the same transaction without problem. So for example you would be fine purchasing 1 of the Listerine items and 1 Aussie Hair Care Item in the same transaction. Both Register Rewards should print just fine. So the general rule of thumb is you can buy more than one Register Reward Deal as long as it’s not multiples of the Same deal!
Hopefully that clears things up a little! Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what other questions you have and I’ll answer those in future posts!

Walgreens can have som great deals, but their prices, in general, are way more expensive than Walmart. I only buy Walgreen items when it is really a great deal. My best: 4 GM cereal for $10.oo get $5.00 RR= 4 boxes for $5.00 less gr. $1.50/ 3 and $1.00/1 = total of 4 boxes 2 mimi frosted shredded wheat and 2 Special K almond vanilla for $2.50 !! That was a great buy.

I use coupons to get lots of items.Coupons are put out by companies so you will like and purchase their products, which I do . It really upsets me when a cashier gets irritated because you are using coupons , Its like it is such an inconvience to them .

is there a limit on how many transactions i can do to recieve RR’s
like the example given i buy 1 listerne item in one transaction, then another transaction i buy another listerne product, can i do multiple transactions or is there a limit of those items i can buy that give me back RR’s?
does that make sense, so tired not sure if i worded that correctly lol :)

Nancy,
You can do multiple transactions and receive multiple RR’s BUT in order to receive more than 1 RR per offer you can NOT use your RR’s you received from that same offer….Am I making any sense?
Example of what will NOT work:
Trans 1:
Buy 2 listerine products receive $2 RR’s
Trans 2:
Buy 2 Listerine products and use your $2 RR’s from Trans. 1 will NOT receive $2 RR for that offer since you used your RR’s from that promo
What WILL work:
Trans. 1:
Buy 2 Listerine products, receive $2 RR’s
Trans 2:
1 Aussie Hair Care use your $2 RR from trans. 1 and get $1 RR
Trans 3:
2 Listerine products use your $1RR from trans. 2 and receive $2 RR again
To make this long story short….you CAN receive multiple RR’s as long as you DO NOT use RR’s from that offer to pay for that offer..
I hope this helped you out, I know how confusing it can all get!!

I had an issue with register rewards that I never encountered before. I had three items to purchase with my first transaction. I had a coupon for each item. The cashier said I couldn’t use my register rewards with my purchase because you are only allowed one coupon per item. I told her that I wasn’t aware of a register reward being counted as a coupon when making a purchase. The cashier tried to scan the RR to show me and it wouldn’t take them. I was able to use the RR on my second transaction though. I’m not sure if shoppers are aware of this so I thought I would post it after seeing the topic on register rewards.

Register Rewards are considered Manufacturer’s Coupons. And just like all coupons, you can only use 1 coupon per item. So, you have to buy “filler items”…aka really cheap items, like a small piece of candy, a pencil, whatever to use the RR rewards on. So say you were buying something that cost $5, and you were using a $3/1 coupon and wanted to use a $2 RR…you would need to buy a small item (like a .30 caramel candy) or something else small in order to be able to use both :) Hope this helps!

If I am getting a great deal. Sometimes I will find out what the “contest” item is for the week. They normally have a candy bar or something they are promoting. If you have a cashier that is not so nice sometimes this can make a world of difference. They also sometimes are asking for donation for different charity’s. I will also donate to that sometimes. Walgreens is difficult to get but I think we all have that moment when it clicks.

yup! at my walgreens they have caught up to me and every time i do a transaction because i do several to get the reward i usually have 2 coupons , soooo now they check all the coupons 1 per item, so its better to get a few candies or other things like jello to be able to use the rewards. but if you buy a pantene shampoo and got a reward for that 1, dont buy another pantene shampoo using the reward you got from the 1st. you wont get another reward for the 2nd!!!!!!!! i’m new to this so it happened to me! the only safe place to use the up rewards in like items is Rite aid, you can even use rewards for other cards!

You should also mention that you shouldn’t pay for a transaction using the register reward of the same deal because another RR won’t print out in those cases.

i am new to this and that does help me to understand the process. thanks for all your help.

You should also point out that the deals do not “roll” meaning that if you use your register rewards from the first transaction to purchase the same deal in the next transaction it will not print a register reward for the same thing. You can however put a third transaction of something else between the two and get it that way.

Thank you for this. I am still kinda new to couponing and have gotten great deals at Target and Walmart but have yet to do drug store couponing and I was actually planning my first trip for tomorrow. So this will def help me out. :) thanks again from Texas.

here is wht i think is a good deal publix has Garnier fructis on sale at 2.99$. So since the take other store coupons u can bring ur target 1.00$ off for the shampoo or hair treatment nd the mfc nd it will come to a .99$ for each one with ur coupons
Or you ca bring them both to WM and get the same deal.

I went to use a RR from Walgreens on an eyeshadow (the RR was $3.00)…I also had a Manuf. coupon for the brand of cosmetics. I was told by Walgreens I could not stack my RR with the manuf. coupon as the RR is a manuf. coupon (which is says at the top of the RR)…. Is that right? I thought the RRs would be Walgreens coupons… I thought I saw someone using their RRs (a bunch saved up) on one of their transactions….ie. they bought a bunch of things, then handed the guy like 20 RR slips…and he kept swiping them all until the total was really low… So that person did not use any manuf. coupons along with those RRs? Am I making sense?

Check out my reply on Christina’s post :)

Don’t forget to mention that you can’t use RR rewards from one item to buy the same item your next transaction :)

It would be very helpful if you would read Walgreens coupon policy to get a better understanding of how the RRs and MF coupons work. Just remember to 1) count the items you are purchasing and 2)the coupons and RRs you plan on using and the amount MUST be the same or the items you are purchasing most be more. You can not have more coupons and RRs than items you are purchasing. That is why it is important to have your filler items. You will never be able to go into Walgreens and buy only one items and use a coupon and a RR. If you plan on using a RR and a coupon you MUST have at least two items. I hope this makes sense to you all that are having trouble understanding. I always count my items and then count my coupons and RRs (combined total) before going to the register. I also try to have more items than I have coupons and RRs (combined) that way there’s no having to think quickly and get stuck with some candy or something I don’t need regardless of its price. There has to be something you can find in the store that you will have a use for i.e. pencils, pens, erasers, etc.
And like others have pointed out, you can not use a P&G RR to purchase more P&G. Which is really odd, but that’s the way it is. You would think they would want you to purchase more of their products, but you have to purchase another brand.
The only way you are going to be successful at Walgreens it to know their policy in and out. So study it, learn it and save!
