 Shopping
at RiteAid is now
HOT! That's
because there are so many new programs that
overlap, meaning a single purchase could end up
dirt cheap, or free, or even give you
overage to spend on other items. To maximize
your RiteAid experience, study this guide, then
dive in. You will soon be an expert who is
delighted with numerous freebies. Be sure to
read and print the current
list before you shop.
Rite Aid
store coupon vs. manufacturer coupon:
 You
are allowed to stack one manufacturer coupon and
(at least) one store coupon per item according
to the official
RiteAid Coupon Policy. However
since that policy came out there have been
products in the weekly ad showing the use of two
store coupons so this seems to be okay now.
Store coupons, as defined by
Rite Aid, will have an RC at the
beginning of the barcode.
 The bar code
also looks considerably different than regular
manufacturer coupons and that's the giveaway
that they are store coupons and not manufacturer
coupons. Many Rite Aid store coupons will have
the words "manufacturer coupon" at the top but
they are, in fact, store coupons and should be
treated as such.
There are
eight types of coupons
available for use at Rite Aid:
* Video value coupon:
 Go
to
http://my.adperk.com/splash/d30b50da/index.html and
register for an account. You can then select
videos to watch (15 seconds to 3 minutes in
length) and you will be able to earn coupons for
the products that you watch. In addition to each
individual coupon you earn points for watching
videos (one or two points each). Once you earn
20 points in a month you are eligible to print a
$5/20 coupon good on your total transaction.
You can watch as many or as few videos as you
want each month. Once you watch a video the
coupon is banked in your rewards section. That
coupon will stay there until the following month
in which it was earned allowing you up to two
months for redemption. However, if you don't
watch a coupon during the May month for example
then come June that video will not be available
for watching anymore, while if you had watched
it and banked the coupon in June it would still
be available to print from your rewards section.
You can set up as many video value accounts as
you want, the video value coupons are not
connected to your computer and you won't receive
the "print limit reached" message like you do
with Bricks coupons. Each different account just
needs a different email address. All video value
coupons I've ever seen (with the exception of
Prevacid) are store coupons.
*There has been some controversy in how many
video value coupons you are allowed to print and
redeem. You are only allowed one chance at
printing coupons from your computer for each
account and then they are removed from your
rewards section. However your computer prompts
you at the time of printing as to how many pages
you'd like to print and you can change that
number to whatever you want and print multiples.
You can also save these coupons to your computer
for unlimited printing at a later time. To do
that you can use Cutepdf which I will explain
later. There have been mixed experiences with
using multiples of the same video value coupon
in a single transaction or during the entire
month. The $5/20 video value coupon seems to
have caused the most scrutiny. As it stands now
there is no official across the board word on
this so you will need to do what you feel
comfortable doing and what your store allows.
 *
Weekly in ad coupons:
Weekly in ad coupons need to be cut out of the
ad and given to the cashier. You will need one
coupon for each item you want to use.
These coupons do not work like Walgreens whereas
you give one coupon and it automatically deducts
for each product. The cashier will keep your in
ad coupons but you can usually find as many of
them as you want up front by the doors. Almost
all weekly ad coupons are store coupons, very
rarely there will be a real manufacturer coupon
in the ad.
* Wellness printed coupons:
 If
you have a Wellness card you can register your
account here
http://www5.riteaid.com/wellness After
logging in you will see in the top left hand
side of the page available coupons and a link to
view all of them. Each week they change, however
the coupons are dated two weeks out. These are
in a pdf form and can be saved to your computer
and printed unlimited amounts of time at your
discretion. These are store coupons and must be
used with your Wellness card.
* Wellness receipt coupons:
At random you will receive coupons that print
out on the bottom of your receipt. Each week
everybody gets the same coupons, but you may
or may not get them on any given transaction.
These coupons are now for things such as $1 off
a purchase of $10 or more in seasonal products,
allergy products, cosmetics etc. These are store
coupons. You need to scan your Wellness card to
receive these coupons and to redeem them.
* Up+ Rewards:
 If
you are familiar with ECB at CVS this is very
similar. You must use your Wellness card at the
time of purchase and purchase certain products
in certain amounts to receive a coupon on the
bottom of your receipt that is good towards your
next purchase of almost anything in the store.
Each week the weekly ad will showcase any
available Up+ Reward sales. On the sales
flier, the Up+ Rewards are
highlighted in yellow. (See example
above). You may only earn one Up+ reward per
transaction per offer. You can receive multiple
rewards on one receipt, but not more than one of
the same type. Up+ rewards are dated
approximately three weeks out from the week you
earned them.
 They
are store coupons. They are good on your total
purchase of almost anything (excludes giftcards,
stamps, lotto, the usual exclusions). If you
have a $3 up+ reward you do not have to purchase
an individual item for $3 or more. You may
redeem as many up+ rewards in one transaction as
you want. You may use an up+ reward to purchase
the same products again that you just earned the
first reward from. (ie: Buy Pantene and earn a
$1 reward, you may buy another Pantene, use your
$1 reward and you will get another $1 reward)
*Even though the weekly ad says you will only
receive one up+ reward per offer per transaction
there are reports that multiple rewards will
print in one transaction. (Like buy two Old
Spice products, get a $4 reward. If you buy four
Old Spice you'll earn two $4 rewards at once)
* Total purchase coupons
 Total
purchase coupons are coupons such as $5/20,
$3/15, $5/25, etc.
Print the latest $5/$25 RiteAid
coupon here.
These coupons are currently plentiful and
available in a variety of places.
often offers a $5/25, click here
to see
. The video value site offers a
$5/$20 monthly. And other total purchase coupons
are common in Rite Aid emails and on the
Wellness website. According to the Rite Aid
coupon policy you are allowed to use one total
purchase coupon per transaction. You are allowed
to do multiple transactions, at the discretion
of management.
* Coupons in magazines &
booklets:
Occasionally at the front door, up by the
register or back by the pharmacy waiting area
there will be free informational books and
magazines, usually about health related topics
like allergies and diabetes. These books are
free and sometimes contain store coupons or
manufacturer coupons.
* Manufacturer coupons:
Rite Aid accepts all manufacturer coupons
including internet coupons.
One per customer:
The majority of Rite Aid store coupons say
one per customer. The register will accept
as many of these coupons as long as you have one
per item. Most stores do not enforce this and
you're allowed to use as many of the same store
coupon as you want, this is especially true of
weekly ad coupons.
While it's up to each person and store as to how
many store coupons they will allow for one item
the register will accept as many store coupons
for one item as you use. You could in theory use
a weekly ad coupon, a video value coupon, a
wellness coupon and a manufacturer coupon all on
one item.
Coupon to item ratios:
The Rite Aid register system does not recognize
coupon to item ratios and you may use as many
coupons as are applicable to any number of
products and the register will not beep. You do
not need fillers as you do at Walgreens. I have
bought four items before and used a total of
nine coupons (a total purchase coupon, four
store coupons and four manufacturer coupons) and
none beeped.
Receiving overage:
You will always receive overage unless your
cashier is aware of the price difference and
enters the coupon by hand. This is true of store
coupons and manufacturer coupons. The register
will not beep because your coupon amount exceeds
the cost of the item. It doesn't matter if it's
one coupon that exceeds the value or a
combination of two coupons that totaled exceed
the value of the product. None will beep.
 Wellness
card:
Rite Aid now has an in store loyalty card.
You can sign up for this card in store or online
here
http://www5.riteaid.com/wellness If you sign
up in store you will be given a card instantly
to use. If you sign up online you will be given
a printable temporary card until your real card
comes in the mail. You need a wellness card to
receive the sale prices, up+ rewards, wellness
coupons and other special offers. You will
receive 10% off all Rite Aid brand products
every time you use your wellness card from day
one. You will also earn points on your purchases
that can allow you to earn additional store
discounts. The point system ~~~~~
How do the points accumulate:
You will earn one point for every dollar
spent. This is accounted for on your after
store coupon total and your before manufacturer
coupon total. Example: You buy $30 worth of
stuff and you use a $5/25 coupon, three $2 Rite
Aid weekly ad coupons and six $1 manufacturer
coupons. You will earn 19 points for this
purchase. You can track your points on your
account page after registering your wellness
account on the link above. Points can (and
usually do) take up to 48 hours to post. Once
your reach a savings level (10% or 20% off) that
savings discount will remain in effect until the
end of the calendar year (12/31) of the current
year. On January 1st of any given year everybody
starts over at 0 points.
 You
also earn 25 points for each prescription
you fill.
You do not want to sign up everyone in your
household for a different card. Since you earn
points on your purchases that get you to the
discount level you want to get all the points
possible on one card. When you sign up you will
get one regular size card and two keychain
cards. Give those out to spouses or children to
use. Rewards and sale prices are not limited to
one per card ect. like CVS so there is no reason
to need to have different cards for different
family members.
How do the discounts work:
Once you are at a discount level your discount
applies in different ways. You will receive
10% or 20% off of all products in the
store (excluding cigs, lotto, giftcards etc.)
You will receive either the current sale price
or your discount, whichever gives you the better
price. So if an item has a regular price of
$5.49 and is on sale for $4.99 and you are at
the 10% off level you will receive this item for
$4.94 because the 10% discount from your
wellness card is a greater amount off than the
current sale price. You always get one or the
other, but not both.
The Wellness + card has replaced the Living More
card for seniors. There is currently no senior
only discount I'm aware of.
 Single
Check Rebates:
Each month (not a calendar month) Rite Aid has a
booklet of available rebates. It's called the
Single Check Rebate book, and it's available
in every RiteAid. This booklet overrides any
information in the weekly ad. Occasionally the
weekly ad will say an offer is limit 1 while the
rebate book says limit 2. The rebate book is
correct and what you should go by in the case of
a discrepancy. Each rebate is listed and will
give the full details about product sizes,
rebate limits and possible time frames. Most
rebates are valid for the entire rebate month,
however some are only valid for a certain week
or even a one or three day period. These dates
should be marked in the weekly ad and they will
be marked in the rebate book on top of each
individual rebate.
Rebates can be combined with manufacturer
coupons and store coupons.
You can combine up+ rewards with rebate offers.
Even if the rebate booklet has a notation that
your rebate amount will be deducted after any
and all coupons I have never once seen that
enforced. Count on all of your rebates to be
based on your before coupon amount (before store
and manufacturer coupons).
You are allowed one rebate account per
family/household.
If you happen upon a product that qualifies for
multiple rebates all applicable rebates will
apply. For instance if Pantene has a $1 rebate
available and Pantene also qualifies towards a
rebate of $5 when you buy $20 in P&G products
the Pantene will qualify for both rebates and
show up under each one separately and
automatically.
Sometimes there are rebate offers that require
multiple purchases - Buy two bottles of Pantene
and receive a $2 rebate or Buy $20 worth of P&G
products and receive a $5 rebate. Any time a
rebate requires multiple purchases you may make
those purchases on as many receipts as you want.
They have never once to my knowledge been
required to be on one receipt. You may also buy
them throughout the month as long as you stay
within any date specific rebate terms.
Occasionally on your rebate account page you
will see a giftcard offer listed separately from
your monthly rebate totals. If you have reached
the maximum amount for that rebate which is
listed separately you may request that rebate
and it will not have any bearing on your monthly
rebate and you can continue to accumulate
monthly rebate items.
If you want to see a detailed listing of what
items are currently qualified towards a rebate
click the "show detail" button on your Single
Check Rebate page. In the past Rite Aid has not
rounded up amounts. So if the rebate offer says
spend $20, spending $19.98 will not qualify.
You can enter receipts throughout the month or
all at once, it's your choice. I recommend
entering receipts as soon as you get them for
two reasons. 1 - you don't misplace the receipt
and lose your chance to enter it. 2 - If you
enter a receipt early in the week and don't
receive credit for a rebate you still have time
in that week to correct the problem with your
local store and return and purchase a different
product.
What if I lost my receipt:
Call the store that you made the purchase at and
ask to speak to the manager. Tell the manager as
much information as possible about your
transaction. The date, time of day, method of
payment and items purchased. The manager can
find your receipt in their computer and give you
the information you need to enter your receipt
online for the Single Check Rebates. If you need
the receipt for a mail in rebate offer the
manager can print this computer generated
receipt out and give it to you.
You may only request one rebate per month and
the rebate check will be for your total monthly
rebate earned except any separate giftcard
offers you qualified for. Your check will come
as a postcard without an envelope. I believe
only rebate checks in excess of $200 will come
in an envelope. Your check can be cashed or
deposited in your bank or cashed at a Rite Aid
store or used towards your purchase and if your
purchase is less than the amount of your check
you will receive cash back for the difference.
Since you enter your receipt information online
you can use your original receipt to mail away
for any available mail in rebates.
How do bogo sales effect my rebates?
Two ways-
If the rebate says Buy two Pantene and get a $2
rebate - you only have to buy two Pantene total
(one free from the sale) and both will qualify
and you'll get the $2 rebate.
If the rebate says Buy $10 worth of Pantene and
get a $2 rebate any bottles of Pantene that ring
up with a 0.00 price will not qualify for the
rebate. Using bogo coupons has no effect on
rebate offers and if both Pantene bottles ring
up with a price and one is free only because of
your coupon they will both qualify.
Generally clearance merchandise and special
packages with freebies attached etc., will
qualify for the rebates, however there have been
times when bonus packages did not qualify. Buy
at your own risk.
I looked at the rebates available online and
they say valid only in select CA and NV stores.
All the rebates shown in the rebate booklet and
online are valid for everyone. The CA & NV
notations are to alert customers in the Las
Vegas and Southern California markets that their
rebates are different. Those markets start the
weekly ad on Friday, while the rest of the
country starts the weekly ad on Sunday.
You can purchase products online at RiteAid.com
under their online shopping tab and these
products will qualify for the rebates. This
option would be good for people who do not live
near a Rite Aid and want to take advantage of
advertised FAR items. There are many downfalls
to buying online for the rebates. Weekly sale
prices may or may not be the same as the online
price. Coupons cannot be used at all on
RiteAid.com You will not earn up+ rewards or
other special coupons from buying online. You
may have to pay shipping & handling.
How to use the Single Check Rebate online
account pages:
Go here
https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/default.asp?jse=yes
and sign up for an account. You'll notice many
links on the left side of the page. You can view
all available rebates, make shopping lists, view
past rebate programs and check the detailed
status of your rebates as well as other things.
There are also tabs at the top of the page
including Enter Receipts. After clicking that it
will allow you to enter receipt information for
a store or online purchase.
You can only request your monthly rebate check
once. I recommend waiting until the end of the
month to do this because many times good rebate
offers come up combined with new coupons and if
you've already requested your rebate you can't
particiate in them. There are many last minute
deals so hold off until you're sure that you
will be buying no additional rebate items.
 Allergy
Savings:
Currently Rite Aid is offering an Allergy
Reward program. You can sign up here
https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/zyrtec/default.asp?jse=yes
You will earn a $20 gift certificate when you
buy $75 in Zyrtec and/or Benadryl purchases. The
$75 is based on before all coupon amounts. You
can earn three $20 gift certificates. Each gift
certificate must be used in one transaction with
no cash back. The current Allergy Reward program
goes until 8/28/10. Once you reach a $75 level
your $20 gift certificate will be requested
automatically on your behalf. Requesting your
first certificate will not mess up getting a
second and third certificate. Any money that is
left over from the first $75 (if you entered $79
worth of receipts) will carry over towards the
second certificate etc. ($4 would carry over) If
you enter a receipt in your Single Check Rebate
account you do not need to enter the receipt
again in your Allergy Rewards. They are
connected and entering the receipt will once
will show up in both accounts.
CUTEPDF
Cutepdf is a program that you can download to
your computer and it "prints" things and saves
them in a pdf format on your computer. This
program is free of charge and free of ads and
popups. Go here to download the free version
http://www.cutepdf.com/ Once you download this
the cutepdf option attaches itself to your
printer options. When you want to save
something, like a Rite Aid coupon, you bring up
the internet page you want to save. Click the
print button. Your computer print box will pop
up on the screen, at the top you need to click
the drop down menu and select cutepdf. Then hit
print. Nothing will actually print from your
printer. Cutepdf sends an image of the internet
page to your saved documents in a pdf format. It
will prompt you to enter a name for your new
document. You can access this document by going
to your start menu, my documents and then
selecting the name of the file you just chose.
(That is how mine works)

reader comments:
"There are so many AWESOME
things about Rite Aid that I am going to
concentrate on only one: Video Value
coupons. They are the GREATEST addition to
Rite Aid because
a) you can stack them on top of manufacturer
coupons
b) you can get a $5/$20 coupon every month
and
c) as someone who isn't always a TV watcher
- you are in tune with very clever
commercials that are new.
Every month watch the
Video Value adperk videos online. I try to
do it on the first day of the month either
when my son goes to sleep at night or during
his nap. You have to watch them and then put
in the code to get points (20 points = a
$5/$20 coupon every month!!). I fold clothes
or file endless paperwork while watching.
That way I am getting things done. As for
which ones to watch? I find any time there
are Huggies videos, I watch them....or any
other product that I buy every month (and
have coupons for). That way I can stack the
manufacturer coupon with the VV one. I also
check the rebate list for the month and
match that up with any VV coupons I can.
Sometimes they don't match up at all, but
the VV coupons are good for two months - the
current month and the next, so chances are
some of the VV videos will match up with
next month's items!!
You can access the VV
coupons you "earned" until they expire. That
way, you don't have to print them all at
once and waste paper if you never used one
before it expires. Speaking of printing,
there is another interesting thing about the
VV coupons, but it's a bit controversial.
You can print multiple copies of the coupons
you have earned ONLY the first time you
print. Once you've printed the coupons, you
cannot reprint a coupon. So, when you choose
which ones to print, a screen comes up for
your printer. At that time you can adjust
the number of copies you want to print. Some
stores will not accept these, some will.
Some stores do not take multiple VV coupons
in one purchase, so YMMV with that part.
Even if you only earn 20
points every month, print out one copy of
the coupons you want to use, and use the
$5/$20, you will see amazing results in your
RA purchases. Saving 60-80% every time is
not uncommon when you are use a VV coupon
and a $5/$20. Lastly, here is my most recent
AWESOME purchase! (keep in mind, I am in CA,
where sales tax is high...so I bet your deal
would be better!!)
Last week I purchased:
2 - Huggies Lil Movers @ 8.99
each
1 - Tugaboo sample pack @
0.99
subtotal: $18.87 + tx =
$20.66
- $5/20
- 2 Huggies coupons @ $3 each
- $1 Tugaboo coupon
-$0.10 for Tugaboo (because
of the wellness card - another RA perk!!)
- 2 $1 VV Huggies coupons
from May VV videos
OOP $6.56 with tax. ( 68%
savings) ** this was the last two packs of
diapers I needed for the Huggies rebate, so
it was an awesome purchase! :o)
Enjoy your Rite Aid
endeavors!!" Karentina Fujinaga

Combining Coupons
From my experience (may vary from store to
store or even cashier to cashier) you can
use 1 Manufacturer Coupon + 1 Video Value
Coupon & when applicable 1 Wellness + Coupon
for a single item.
Actual Example from 5/25/10:
All Rite Aid coupons are deducted before tax
is applied.
Transaction #1
(1) $29.99 Olay Regenerist Cream
After I scanned my Wellness + card it
automatically dropped to $22.00 (The sale
price is $22.00 with card - better than 20%,
so the CPU automatically took the best deal
for me)
Here are the coupons I used...
(1) $5 off $20 purchase Video Value
(1) $3 Olay Manufacturer coupon
(1) $1 off $10 Skin Care Purchase from
Wellness+ (e-mail I signed up for with
Wellness + Card)
Total OOP $14.08 [ Includes Tax
{$22 - ($5/$20 + $1/$10) x .0675 tax} ]
basically I was taxed for $16 of the $22.
Transaction #2
(1) $29.99 Olay Regenerist Serum
After I scanned my Wellness + card it
automatically dropped to $22.00 (The
sale price is $22.00 with card - better
than 20%, so the CPU automatically took
the best deal for me)
Here are the coupons I used...
(1) $5 off $20 purchase Video Value
(1) $3 Olay Manufacturer coupon
(1) $1 off $10 Skin Care Purchase from
Wellness+ (e-mail I signed up for with
Wellness + Card)
Total OOP $14.08 [ Includes Tax
{$22 - ($5/$20 + $1/$10) x .0675 tax} ]
basically I was taxed for $16 of the
$22.
I registered for SCR (Single Check
Rebates). These two transactions are for
SCR #73
Valid from 05/23/10 to 05/25/10
$20.00 Rebate
Olay
Regenerist
Both items must be purchased to qualify
towards rebate LIMIT ONE (1) $20.00
REBATE
I am also
looking in to the Rebate Michele posted
"Conde Nast Special Programs P&G" for a
$12 rebate or
free one year subscription.
$28.16 OOP for both transactions
-$20.00 SCR
-$12.00 P & G Refund
$3.84
Profit
If I hadn't used
any of the above coupons or rebates I
would be looking at $64.03 OOP instead
of $3.84 profit.
Single Check Rebates aka "SCR"
RA puts out a new SCR every month.
Some SCR are only good for a few
days, a week and up to a few months.
From my experience when you sign up
online for the SCR it saves a ton of
time & money on stamps & envelopes.
Not to mention when you mail your
rebate in, who knows if it will even
make it to the intended
destination. By entering minimal
information from your receipt
directly on-line you know they got
your rebate information. If you
made a mistake all you have to do is
enter the information again.
Getting Started On-line:
- Sign up online for SCR @
www.riteaid.com Look towards
the bottom left & you should see
"Single Check Rebates"
- If you prefer the
traditional Rebate forms, you
can pick up a monthly circular
from your local Rite Aid
- Benefits
- No long form needed
- No stamp
- No envelopes
- No cutting & sending UPC in
- No relinquishing of receipts
just to find out you need it for
another rebate offer or you need
to exchange an item but have no
receipt.
- Enter all your receipts just
in case there is a rebate you
were not aware of.
- Down Falls
- I have heard some of the
rebates take too long...luckily
I have not had problems with
this.
- I can't think of any other
issues.
How to Enter Receipts:
- Log-in to your account (this
will take you right to "My Rebate
Status")
- You should see the following at
the top
-
"View Offers"
-
"Enter Your Receipts"
- Select Receipt Type
"In-Store" or "Online"
- Enter the following
information...
- Store #
- Register #
- Transaction #
- Date of Purchase
-
"Request Your Check"
(Same for vouchers & coupon
books - everything is mailed at
one time)
- You can request one
check per calendar month.
If you request your check in
the middle of the month &
still have rebates for that
month that you entered after
you requested your check,
you will have to wait until
the next month to request
your check.
After everything is entered you
should receive an e-mail confirming your
receipt entry. It generally takes 2-5
business days before you will receive
another e-mail updating the status of
your rebate. This e-mail will attach a
link that takes you right to your status
page to view the progress of your
rebate. Stephanie

"Rite Aid has
improved the customer shopping
experience tremendously for those of
us that like saving money! The new
Wellness Card Program along with the
Video Vault provides more ways for
us to save money! Here are some
tips:
·
If you do not have
your Wellness card with you, the
cashier can easily locate you via
your telephone number. As soon as I
registered online, they were able to
find me in the computer the next day
even though I didn’t have my card.
·
The videos in the
vault are Manufacturers Coupons.
This is important to know for those
of us that like to “double up” our
couponing when possible.
·
When watching video
vault coupons, they make sure you
are actually viewing the
advertisement being played on the
video. I tried continuing to surf
while a video was playing, and it
paused automatically until I
returned to the page.
·
At the end of the
video, you will be required to enter
in the security words viewed on your
screen. It’s important to know that
they put a time limit! Don’t just
wander off or you will miss the time
limit. But here’s a tip if you do…I
found that if you hit the button
that requests a different security
code because you couldn’t read the
first presented, it will allow you
to then at that point have a new
“countdown” on your time.
·
After watching the
video, you are not instantly
presented with the coupon to print.
Rite Aid has made it quite
convenient to view several videos
and THEN go print ONLY the coupons
you wish to at that time.
·
While you get a $5/$25
coupon after signing up for the
wellness program, I’ve also found
the same coupon to print again on
RedPlum.com so you can keep
repeating the savings! Hopefully
this will continue!
·
The video vault will
reset with new offers every month,
so keep a close watch!
·
Pair video vault
coupons with Rebate offers for
outstanding deals!
Best of luck!
I’ve always found Rite Aid to be
friendly and quite open to coupons.
In fact, I can’t think of a single
time I’ve ever had coupons. Given
the new program, it seems like
corporate also supports couponing
and money saving offers for their
customers!
Sincerely,
Stephanie M. Lada
