Q: How does Walgreens EasySaver rebate work?
A: Walgreens rebates are mailed in (except for online submission states - see next Q).
First locate the rebate booklet in the store or online. Take your receipt and circle the price and the item and write the offer number from the booklet next to the item on your receipt. You can choose on the rebate form to either receive your rebate in the form of a check or a Walgreens gift card. choosing to get your rebate back in the form of a gift card you earn 10% more back on your rebate (except for offers that exclude the 10%). You can then use your Walgreens gift card to purchase next month’s rebate items or to purchase gift cards for other retailers. No UPC is required for most Walgreens rebates unless noted in the rebate booklet.

Q: When submitting for a rebate, do I request a new card each time, or just continue to reload the one I have?
A: You can select either method. GC reloads are reportedly faster than the issuance of new GCs. If you opt for GC reload, Walgreens will mail you a postcard with the reload details
Q: What if I forget to send my receipt in?
A: Call Walgreens and explain the situation. They should be able to help you with it.
Q: Item in the ESR catalog is FAR. The wording used on the tally sheet is that the "price paid" is refunded. Is this the actual price paid, or the original price between coupons? Example: an item is $5.00 and I use a $2.00 manuf coupon, bringing total paid to $3. Will I receive a $3 rebate or $5 rebate?
A: You will recive the price BEFORE coupons. In this case, $5.
Q: A rebate in the ESR catalog is buy two of an item to get $x rebate. I bought two when it was bogo so my CRT reads $x.xx and $0.00 for the 2nd item. Will I still get the rebate ?
A: Yes, the offer is for buying two so your purchase will qualify.
Q: A rebate in the ESR catalog is buy $x amount of items and get $x rebate. Do I calculate the before or after coupon price to meet the $x requirement ?
A: You count the item price as it appears on the receipt toward the dollar amount needed to reach the rebate requirement. Before any 7-day, manf or IVC coupons.
Q: On rebate deal where you have to spend so much on certain items (buy $10 of Stayfree get $10 rebate). IS that before or after coupons. So lets say the orginal price is $10 but w/ coupons its $5 (just making up numbers) will that work or does the price have to be $10 AFTER coupons.
A: BEFORE coupons = that is how you profit from these deals!
Q: Are special promotion offer totals added to the rebate total row? For example, P&G Buy $20 and get $10 GC. Is the $10 GC amount added to total of other rebates for that month ?
A: Yes add it to the total. Just remember the 10% bonus does not apply to the Walgreens GC offers.
Q: What if I lose my receipt on a rebate item?

Q: What is the longest time it takes for the online ES status to update?
A: terms from ESR booklet .....
"allow 8 to 10 weeks for delivery of your rebate after submission is received"
Q: Does Walgreens round up at all for their rebates? Say I buy $19.98 in xyz products, but the rebate states buy an even $20 to get the rebate do you have to hit that number or above to actually qualify (even if you're only a few cents short)?
A: Purchase must meet or exceed specified amount
Q: If a rebate states buy $x.xx and receive $x.xx back does it have to all be in one purchase? For example buy $15 get $5, would I have had to purchase all $15 on one receipt ?
A: You can buy separately as long as the total meets/exceeds the purchase requirement.
Q: Can I print the easy saver book that is on walgreens website and use those coupons in the store or do i need to get the book from the store and use those
A: This requires a lot of ink, but you can print and use at the store.
Q: What is a Walgreens Instant Value Coupon (IVC)?
A: These are Walgreens store coupons found in the EasySaver rebate booklet in the store or view online. You need to use the coupon from the printed booklet. You can combine both an IVC and a manfacturer coupon on regular, sale, clearance and rebate items.
Q: Can I use a mfr. Coupon with a Walgreens 7-day coupon or an EasySaver instant value coupon?
A: Yes, you can. If the mfr. coupon causes overage or even .01 more than the cost, you may have problems (coupon will beep). Walgreens does have the capability to override the cost of the item to make it match the coupon, though not all stores will do this. To avoid overage beeping, scan the manf coupon first, then the 7 day &/or IVC.
Q: Can I use a Walgreens 7-day with an EasySaver instant value coupon?
A: Yes, you can.
Q: Can I use an IVC and/or 7 day coupon on B1G1F items?
A: Yes, the IVC and/or 7 day coupon should automatically deduct the $ amount for each qualifying item scanned.
Q: I forgot to redeem my mfr., 7day, or instant value coupon what do I do?
A: Walgreens is pretty good about honoring them after the purchase has been made. Go back into the store and ask them.
Q: The IVC or 7 day coupon has a limit of (lets say) 4. Can I only purchase 4 items with the coupon? Will I need 2 coupons to purchase 8 items?
A: The limit on IVC and 7 day coupon can be enforced by your store, but they rarely do. If you purchase 8 items the amount of the IVC or 7 day coupon will be taken off automatically for all 8 items you bought. You do not need multiple Walgreens coupons for multiple items. If there is a limit on the coupon and the store is out of stock and you wish to get a raincheck it is very likely that the limit on your raincheck will reflect the limit on the WAG coupon.
A: Walgreens rebates are mailed in (except for online submission states - see next Q).
First locate the rebate booklet in the store or online. Take your receipt and circle the price and the item and write the offer number from the booklet next to the item on your receipt.
