On the walgreen coupon policy it says that you may not recieve register rewards if you try to redeem a register reward on the same offer. Is this true, does anyone know from experience?
@Liseli, On the same offer, yes that is true. You can “roll” your register rewards on another deal and earn more. Great question!
@Alyssa Francis,
Basically you have to ‘mis-match’ your Register Rewards. Don’t use your P&G RRs on P&G product deals or it won’t print your new RRs. I learned the really hard way and lost some RRs. I have heard that sometimes the register will print them on some deals but I don’t know. I only have one manager at my Walgreens that doesn’t mind experimenting with a transaction and cancelling it if it doesn’t work out.
