RITE AID: Winter GOS Nov 22 - Dec 24 (GOS talk goes here)

[ca2003]

As soon as the last receipt I entered on RA's website goes through I will have earned my $20 GOS certificate. Never did it this fast before

Is everyone claiming them as soon as they earn them?

This is what I did in 4 transactions. I know it is not as good as many of you did but I am happy

Total OOP for 4 trans (after SCR):$44.79 and 4 trans qualified for $20 GOS so after GOS total OOP $24.79

I know I paid a lot for the tooth brush heads but I really needed the refills and so did my parents which is why I bought 2 packs in transactions 1 and 2. Of course they went on sale the following week but I had already opened mine and already given the other pack to my parents.

I bought another pack when they went on sale because that was just too good to pass up. With sales and coupons I usually spend about $12 bucks per 3 pack and with total OOP at $24.79 that is like getting the tooth brush heads for $8.26/3 pack and getting everything else free. I am set on those tooth brush heads for about a year and half too

OP- Haven't done Rite Aid deals in a while, but FINALLY got my $25 gift card from them for a July 3, 2009 purchase... Yes, seriously, 4+ months later...

Anyway- they are still offering the Buy 5, get 6th free voucher deal- or if I already did it once I can't get it again? Thanks!

I just looked at my status for the GOS and it looks like they automatically mailed it because I qualified for the $20 one. Does anyone know if these go out relatively fast like the rebates(I usually get my rebates in 2 weeks max)? We are moving at the end of the month and I am having mail forwarded but I am scared I will still lose stuff. :hectic1: I will be so mad if I don't get my GOS:sad:

I could be in the minority, but I usually think the GOS that you get automatically for getting the max go out even more quickly than the regular rebate checks. I think last time I had mine within two weeks of it being auto-requested.

I agree. And on the plus side, the GOS comes in a real envelope instead of those stupid postcards. That may make it easier to avoid getting lost or stolen, even if it is forwarded.

Did anybody else reach $100 but not have their check automatically requested for them? I know they usually are automatically sent as soon as you reach it, and I'm wondering why mine wasn't! I just checked it and it says I am at $101.xx, and I have the option to click on "request my rebate" just like a regular SCR. I thought it was strange and I was afraid to click request in case I was missing something. But I guess it does say I "spent" the $100, and it does say it's a $20 rebate...weird!

Same with me...I had to manually request it.

I know that the GOS works with the total before coupons, but how does it work with B1G1 coupons? Like with the Olay deal coming up on the 20-26 ...they're $4.99 and there are coupons for B1G1. If I bought four and used 2 coupons, would I get $19.96 credited towards my GOS or $9.98?

Thanks! :)

The only time something does not get counted towards your GOS is when it's a Rite Aid BOGO sale. If it's a BOGO coupon, it will count.

Hey, I only need another $11.50 (or so) in purchases to get to $100 for my $20 certificate. I was thinking about getting another pack of the P&N diapers since I can always use those and then throw in some Christmas candy. But, it would be nice to do it for not much out of pocket. Anyone got any ideas for me?
