Ok I am so NEW and don’t get Walgreens Register Rewards at all!
I want to get the Tone body wash, I actually want to get 2 of them. I have 2 coupons, so I know that I’ll be getting $6 in RR and I know I have to purchase them seperately.
Question, Can I use the $3 RR from the first Tone on the second Tone? Question if I have $6 in RR and 2 coupons, do I have to purchase 8 items? None of this makes sense to me. lol I don’t want to look like a fool when I go into the store. Can someone please just post something explaining how to use the RR’s in a simple way?
CVS was easy for me to understand, but Wags is not.
Thanks for any help

If you use a RR from one Tone on the purchase of the next one, the register won’t spit out a new RR. They call it “double dipping”. But you can use the RR on a different purchase. I try to steer clear of the same company even, as it has kicked me out in the past. If it happens, just ask for manager and they can fix it for you.
Always a joy to read your articles, and always learn something new! thumbs up!
