Today we look at Rite Aid.
Like Walgreens, which we looked at a few days ago, there are a couple different rewards programs at Rite Aid. +UP Rewards are very similar to Walgreens' Register Rewards. Wellness+ Points on the other hand are quite different than Walgreens' Balance Rewards.
Important things to note about Rite Aid's Coupon Policy:
- You can stack one manufacturer coupons with one Rite Aid store coupons on a single item.
- Every month Rite Aid releases Rite Aid Video Values, which are short videos you can watch and allow you to earn store coupons. It may be worth it to play through them all at the beginning of the month and then just print them as needed, since the videos are only up until the end of the month, but the coupons will be availible for you to print until usually the middle of the next month.
- On their website Rite Aid offers Load2Card coupons which are linked to your Wellness+ Card. They do not stack with paper coupons and take precedence over them. So if you'd rather use a paper coupon, do not load it to your card.
- Rite Aid may accept up to 4 identical coupons for the same number of qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers within the store manager’s sole discretion.
+UP Rewards
- +UP Rewards are special coupons earned by a customer in a prior purchase that can be used for any non-prescription purchase with a small number of exclusions that are listed on the +UP coupon.
- Multiple +UP Rewards can be used (subject to the printed exclusions) up to the amount of purchase before sales tax.
- Usually +UP Rewards expire two weeks after the date they are earned and are not available to use until 6 am the day after they are earned.
- +UP Rewards by default are loaded to your wellness+ card and are discounted automatically. There are a few ways around this:
- You can structure your transaction so it will use all your +UP rewards, which can be a pain in the backside.
- Do not scan your wellness+ card until all other discounts are applied.
- You can go online to your load2card account, select Rite Aid Rewards, and clip and unclip rewards as needed, but be careful of the expiration date, when you do so.
- The website suggests you tell a sales associate if you would have your +UP rewards printed instead of loaded to your card. I have an interesting story involving that, but that is for another post. Personally, I suggest you go to your wellness+ page and click on "Chat Now" and ask them to switch you to your +UP Rewards to printing instead of loading to your wellness+ card.
Wellness+ Points
- Earn one point for every dollar spent on non-prescription purchases. (The value of Manufacturer's coupons will count toward your purchases. Rite Aid coupons will not.)
- Earn 25 points for every non-government funded prescription.
- As you accumulate points you rise to certain levels:
- Bronze - 250 Points. 10% off Rite Aid Brand every day for a year and a one time used 10% off shopping pass.
- Silver - 500 Points. 10% off the entire store for a year and a health and wellness reward of your choosing which can be found here.
- Gold - 1000 Points 20% off the entire store for a year.
- Your wellness+ point are accumulated based on the calendar year and you retain your wellness+ level to the end of the next calendar year after your point reset.
