I've read the FAQ on Lowes site for Fresh Rewards but........
they have a special this week, buy 4 DiGiorno get $2 in rewards cash.

Can I use this $2 like real cash on my next purchase?
Or do I have to wait until I have $5 or more in rewards cash before I get a coupon for $5 off my next order?
If I have $7 in rewards cash and my total order is $8.00 then I only pay $1 out of pocket?
thanks.

-----------------
so all fresh awards coupons are for $5.00 each.....?
so if I buy 12 of the DiGiorno, I get $6 in rewards cash and this gives me a $5 coupon off my next, or some visit over the next 30 days and a $1 credit toward my next $5 coupon?

Is this the way it works?

Fresh Rewards Cash (FRC) is given out in $5 increments. You have to accumulate $5 in rewards before the cashier will give you the $5 FRC. So, if you are only doing the DiGiorno deal, you'll have to do the deal 3 seperate times before you'll get an FRC.

Hope that makes sense. The $5 FRC is a pre-printed coupon that the cashier runs through the register printer to validate it. The register prompts them to do it, so they can't forget.

The last 2 weeks the FRC deals have been poo. Hopefully they didn't just lead us on with the first 2 weeks. Here is to hoping...

I'll have to buy the 12 items in 3 trips, since I have coupons and they have a limit of 4.......:shrug7:.......4 coupons in 3 trips = 12 coupons in 1 trip = what will happen, so the limit is a rule they think is a benefit to them, so I'll go by their rules and make 3 trips.

Yep, that is the way it works. At the moment we have $2 in rewards sitting on our account. Right now, we aren't doing any of the FRC deals, so it will sit there until we earn another $3 in rewards. When that happens, we'll get another FRC worth $5.

Well, kind of. It depends on your store's interpretation of the "4 coupons for 4 like items" rule. At my store, I would have no problem using 12 of the same coupon on the Digiorno deal, as long as I was getting 3 different flavors of the pizza. For example, if I got 4 pepperoni, 4 cheese, 4 supreme, they'd let me use 12 coupons...but, if I got 12 pepperoni pizza's, I would be denied (plus it is against their coupon policy). But remember, this is a YMMV situation based on the store's interpretation of the coupon policy. My store interpretes a "like item" as a certain SKU, not a broad range of products that are the same item, just in different gflavors. I seem to have a fairly coupon friendly store, while some on this board don't.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: One last thing on the using more than 4 coupons. If the coupon is one that will double, only the first 4 will double. It would be to your advantage to do them in seperate orders and not combine them. If your coupon is $1+, then it doesn't matter, and refer to the YMMV situation laid out above.

all my coupons are off the flatbreads, so maybe there are more than one variety of flatbreads.
The deal says buy 4 and get $2 in rewards cash. So, if I was able to use all 12 on one order would that = $6 in reward cash? (you can do more than 1 of the same rewards deal in the same order)

[katncaed]

The Lowes Foods To Go website shows 5 different flavors on the Flatbreads, although you'll have to check the store to see if they carry them all.

You can do more than one of the same FRC deals in one transaction. I did 2 of the McCormick deals a few weeks ago just to see if it would work, and it did with no problems.

But, remember, if you have the $.75/1 coupon for the Flatbreads, you'll need to break the order up. Only 4 like coupons will double. If you have the $1/1 coupon, then you can do them all in one transaction as long as you get different variaties, YMMV based on the store.

If you do need to break them up, just do the transactions back to back. I've never had a problem doing that. Sometimes they ask me when I go in if I need to do that. (Guess I go too much. :biggrin:)
