New Walgreens Balance Rewards program

This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

by

Walgreens is rolling out a new Balance Rewards Program starting 9/16/12. You can Pre-Enroll now through 9/15 and you could win 1 Million Points in Walgreens 10 Million Point Giveaway. Now through the 15h, if you join online you’ll be entered into this giveaway in which 10 Grand Prize winners will each snag 1 million points.

A little bit about this program:

Balance Reward Members will be offered exclusive deals and you’ll be able to earn points which can be redeemed both in-store & online. You can also earn points through Walk with Walgreens programs which is nice. Here is how the points are set up:

5,000 Points = $5.00
10,000 Points = $10.00
18,000 Points= $20.00
30,000 Points=$35.00
40,000 Points=$50.00

As this is a new program, not all the details have yet been released. Walgreens has been saying that this will not replace the Register Rewards &  I guess time will tell. It remains to be seen how well this program will work and what benefit it will actually offer. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve had a chance to try it out a bit myself first. Hopefully, it’ll be a good thing. 🙂

If you have questions, you can contact Walgreens at (877) 250-5823 & you can also view their terms & conditions. I’ll be posting more details as information comes available

My Walgreens Shopping Trip – A Hot Mess & Eventual Success

This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

by

So, I would have to say that my Walgreens shopping trip today was a bit of a mess but it eventually, with persistence, worked out. I headed out bright & early this morning to shop at a few places including Walgreens. The first Walgreens I stopped in was already completely wiped out of Kraft products, so I had to settle for one purchase there. I was a bit disappointed that they were already out of stock of several items since I showed up about 10 minutes after they opened their doors, but, hey, that’s Walgreens for ya. 😉 After that, I headed to Dollar Tree to check out what products they had. I’ll be sharing my shopping trip from there in a bit. And I took a BUNCH of pictures of what they carry, so I’ll be sharing that tonight or tomorrow too. 🙂

Anyway, after Dollar Tree and a couple other stops, I stopped in at another Walgreens. I found everything I was looking for in stock and I soon found out why. I had planned on doing 2 transactions. I did the first one without any issues and then I hit a snag. The Kraft Dressing was ringing up at $3.99, not 2/$4.00 like advertised online. I talked to the manager and he checked online, but said he didn’t see it and left it at that and pretty much walked away from the conversation with no resolution. Then I started second guessing myself wondering if I was correct and I let it go and left without making the rest of my purchase. The more I thought about it on my way home, the more sure I was that I was correct, so as soon as I hit the door, I checked the Walgreens ad online and sure enough, it was there. I called the manager told him where the correct pricing was online, he confirmed it and, so long story short, I dashed back to the store and made my purchase. Normally I wouldn’t have messed with going back, but at that point, it felt like a well-deserved victory to come home with the items I wanted in hand. LOL Anyway, my advice to you is if you run across this problem, direct them to the ad online (while you’re still in the store unlike what I did) so the store can then manually key in the correct price. Whew! I hope you have better luck that I did and I also hope I have a more successful adventure when I go back on Wednesday to take advantage of a few more Walgreens Deals along with the Friends & Family 15-20% Off coupon. So, here’s my transactions from today:

Store #1:

  • ZenTrip Motion Sickness Prevention Thinstrips (8 pk.) – $3.00, got back $3.00 RR
  • Used $3.00 RR from previous trip
  • Final Cost FREE
