Rite Aid’s Coupon Policy

Rite Aid’s Coupon Policy (in-depth video version):

• In-store coupon stacking policy: Will take all manufacturer coupons (learn how to get sunday coupon inserts), and you can stack it with a Rite Aid in-store and/or circular coupon (even if it says “manufacturer’s coupon” on it!!!) OR Video Values coupons. Video Values coupons can no longer be stacked with Rite Aid in-ad coupons and coupons from the Flu Shot Coupon booklet.

• Video Values Coupons: You can visit Rite Aid’s Video Values website to get video values coupons, which can be “stacked” with manufacturer’s coupons:

• You must create a username and password and login.
• Then you will watch video, normally 30 second product clips, and at the end of the video you will type in a code to verify you watched the video.
• Then you can click on “My Rewards” and it will show all the coupons available for you to print.
• Print them right from your computer and take them to the store.
• $1 off any purchase of $1 or more Rite Aid Video Values coupons have appeared. These coupons can be applied to virtually any deal scenario BUT can only be used once per Wellness card, so just plan on using one when you go in.

• UP+ Rewards (UPR): The +UP Reward consists of a coupon or a number of coupons that print at the bottom of your receipt and can be used on the next day after 6am.

• Tear the coupons off your receipt and hand them to your cashier when you are ready to use them; they will scan like regular coupons.
• These coupons are a set price off any transaction you choose to scan them on. $2 UP reward would mean $2 off the purchase; you could purchase anything $2 or more, and $2 would be taken off the purchase.
• Each advertised +UP Reward is limited to 1 per wellness card (unless otherwise stated). For example, if you purchase 2 bottles of Clariol in one transaction, you will only receive 1 $1 +UP Reward. So if you are interested in purchasing more than one of the same +UP Reward item, be sure that you purchase each item in a separate transaction!  If you can get multiple UP rewards in one transaction, it will say so in the weekly circular and I’ll tell you in my weekly Rite Aid deals post.
• Frequently Asked Question: “For the +UP rewards that have a dollar amount attached, like “Spend $15 get a $5 +UP”, does that have to be in one transaction, or does it keep track via your Wellness card that you have already purchased qualifying items, and once the dollar amount is reached, you get the +UP?”   Answer: It has to be done in a single transaction. Rite Aid receipts don’t keep track like CVS/ECB spend X deals do.
• Can us “UP” rewards on the very NEXT day after 6 am.  You can “roll” your UP catalina rewards and save them for about 2 weeks (this is how long they are usually valid) and wait for another hot sale to use the UP rewards on.  This often leads to lots of freebies!
• Also +Ups automatically load onto your card now. It will show at the bottom of your receipt how many you have.
  IMPORTANT: Since they load automatically they will come off BEFORE coupons. To avoid this DO NOT let them scan your wellness card until after they have scanned all your coupons.You can call 1-800-RITE AID to opt out of the system and have your +Ups printed for you. Then it will print out like it used to, but again they are not valid until the next day after 6am.

• “Wellness Rewards Card” must be scanned to get in-store best prices and UP rewards.  These are free and you can sign up for them in-store. Plus they give you up to 10% off everyday purchases!
• Silver & Gold Rite Aid Wellness Rewards & how to plan purchases with them.
• BOGO: When items are featured on a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the item being purchased.— more BOGO info: If a customer presents a Buy One Get One Free coupon for the purchase of two items that are on a Buy One Get One Free promotion; we accept the coupon, essentially making both items free, although you must pay tax if applicable. UPDATE: They changed the policy so you can no longer use a BOGO free coupon on a BOGO free promotion

In-depth BOGO free coupon policy info:

• Will take printable Internet coupons
• Don’t need to have as many products as coupons like Walgreens!
• Rite Aid may accept up to 4 identical coupons for the same number of qualifying items as long as their is sufficient stock within the store managers discretion.
• Single Check Rebates (SCR) ***I have a picture-by-picture walk-through of how to do SCR’s here!: Short version: You can use a coupon for an item and still get your Single Check Rebate.  Example: Item is $2, with a $1 single check rebate. You can use a $2 off coupon, then enter your receipt into the online single check rebate program and get $1 back via check in the mail. In essence, making $1 off of the transaction.  Since you enter the receipt # online, you don’t have to mail-in anything to get your rebate; thus saving you even more money!
• Requesting Your Single Check Rebate: As you make purchases throughout each month, you can save your receipts and enter them online all at once at the end of the rebate program period (typically this is the end of the month). If you prefer, you can enter your individual receipts each time you make a purchase throughout the month (there is no limit to the number of receipts you can enter); I prefer this option as there is less of a chance that I will lose the receipt(s) or forget to enter it.  At the end of the month, request your rebate by clicking the request rebate button. Do NOT click the “request rebate” button if you are planning on purchasing more Single Check Rebate items before the rebate program period has ended as Rite Aid ONLY allows one submission per household.  RITE AID HAS DISCOUNTINUED THE SINGLE CHECK REBATE PROGRAM
• Single Check Rebates are quite difficult to explain, please watch the video I made explaining them! SCR’s are huge money-savers.
• Does not match competitors ads or prices
• Does not take other stores in-store coupons
• Rainchecks: Rite Aid rainchecks should be issued for the “after UP rewards” price on them, so you are essentially getting your UP+ rewards!  Also, rainchecks will be honored for all rebate offers (SCR’s) during any promotional rebate period. Rainchecks must be used within 30 days of issuance to purchase the product on rebate and qualify for the rebate. Your receipt must state “Raincheck” under the participating rebate product item to qualify for rebate.Remember:
  • If you purchased the item on raincheck within the valid rebate dates then the rebate item will show on your account.• If you purchased the item on raincheck outside the valid rebate dates then you will need to resubmit your receipt information to Special Services for manual processing.
• UPromise has teamed up with Rite Aid.  Login to your Upromise account (or create one), then:

1. Enter your 11-digit Rite Aid Wellness Card Number (numerical digits only)
2. Click on the “My Account” link (upper right corner)
3. Click on “Add Grocery Card” link (on the left side bar)
4. Simply select the eCoupons for products that you think you will purchase.  These stay the same all month, so I login on the first of the month and select them all, then if I happen to buy that item, the coupon gets used.
5. Buy activated eCoupon products at Rite Aid, and then scan your registered card at check-out and get college savings!
6. Remember, UPromise coupons CAN be stacked with in-store and manufacturer’s coupons.
7. The UPromise coupons don’t come off your total, instead they are put in an account for your children’s/grandchildren’s  college fund.
