Walgreens loyalty program is called Register Rewards (RR). It is very similar to the CVS ExtraCare program in that the RRs are coupons that print out at the end of your cash register receipt and can be used on your next transaction. The major difference between the two is that you do not need a store card in order to earn RRs.
KALEY’s TOP 5 BIG TIPS for Walgreens
- Keep your RRs in a safe place and don’t forget to bring them to the store! (Consider that coupon organizer I suggested for CVS!)
- You don’t need a store card for Walgreens, so there is no limit to the number of RR deals that you can do. You may be limited to only one per transaction, so just separate them into multiple transactions.
- Walgreens will often not let you roll over the RRs multiple times on the same deal. If you are purchasing more than one RR deal, you may need to alternate them.
- Unlike CVS, you cannot use RRs and a coupon on the same item. You may need to add a small item (i.e. a pack of gum) to your purchase in order to have the same amount of items as coupons.
- You can, however, use a store coupon (from the weekly flyer) and a manufacturer’s coupon on the same item.
I am new to the coupon drugstore game….I have been told that you have to have :
one item for every:
coupon used
RR used
RR received
is that true?…..and does that include Walg. coupons?
I am very overwhelmed and hoping to get good at this…thanks….your site looks easy to understand!

Dy,
Walgreens does not allow you to use a Register Reward and a manufacturing coupon on the same item. So yes, you do need one item per coupon or RR used. (You can, however, stack a store coupon from their flyer with a manufacturing coupon).
You do not need to have one item per RR received, however. For example, if you are purchasing a box of crackers that produce a $2 RR, you can still use a manufacturing coupon or a Register Reward to purchase it.
Does that answer your question?
Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it. It is overwhelming at first, but you’ll be a pro in no time!

Does Walgreens OR CVS price match? And do either of them accept a competitor’s coupon? Thanks!!

DeeDee,
I don’t believe that either of them price match or accept competitor’s coupons. Occasionally stores have their own policies, however. So you may want to ask at your local store.

I am confused about the register rewards. Is this something I have to sign up for?

Thelma,
No, you do not need to sign up for Register Rewards. When you purchase something that is offering RRs that week, it will simply print out at the end of your receipt. I think you usually have a week or two to use them before they expire.

Do you need to sign up for the Walgreen’s RR program? Or do the coupons just print randomly?

Tracy,
You do not need to sign up for the Walgreens RR program. The Register Rewards print at the end of your receipt.

Is there a website where it shows you how “flip” deals at the drugstore…specifically Walgreens. I walked in to buy a fingernail polish before Christmas. A lady goes buy the fingernail polish use the rebate to buy hair clips plus something. Then I used the rebate from the hairclips to buy the other fingernail polish. This was the first I knew about anything like this and it was the only time I was able to do this. I am looking for more information.
