New Policies at Walgreens concerning Register Rewards

As you know by now, Walgreens has suspended their Easy Saver Rebate Program. There appears to be an increase in their Register Rewards but after speaking with a manager- they are not going to be treated just like cash like ECBs at CVS.

What we encountered was if you have a Register Reward and want to use it to buy an item that you have a coupon for- the system treats the RR as a coupon and you have more coupons than you have items.

For example, say you had a $2 RR and wanted to buy toothpaste that was on sale for $3.99 plus use a coupon for $1.00 off. System won't let you use both. But you can add to your purchase a cheap item like a pencil, a pack of gum... called a filler. It should let the transaction go through.

It worked for us but I'll keep posting as this new system is coming together at Walgreens.
