"Earn points every time you shop. Earn one point for every dollar spent on non-prescription purchases*, and earn twenty-five points for every prescription you purchase.
*Points are calculated after all Rite Aid coupons, including Video Values, +up rewards, $/$$ coupons, in-ad coupons, and all other store coupons."

The above quote was taken from the first post.

Can someone clarify if points are calculated before or after manufacturer coupons?

Also do points show on my receipt in real time? I'm not seeing them on the bottom of my receipt after I make a purchase, but my total Resolution amount seems to be in real time.

Points are calculated as your original total minus any RA qs listed above. If you use manufacturer qs, it doesn't change your points total. So let's say your OOP is 1.79, and you used $3 in manufacturer qs and $6 in +ups, you would get 5 points (1.79 + 3 = 4.79 rounded up to 5, +ups do not count). Your points from what I can tell are not real time. They take a bit to catch up on your receipt. You can check your wellness account online, but I think that's a little behind too.

We are living in an area with a RA now! I'm an experienced couponer, but I need a mentor for RA! Thank you!

[amylynne01]

I would suggest reading the ad threads and checking out what others are saying. We have three weeks of ads up right now (through 2/18), so you can start planning ahead. Check out the FAQ thread and the sticky that says Read First to learn about RA's coupon policies and their various programs.

If you have questions, post them in the weeks' threads. Our RA posters are super helpful and will give you a hand in figuring out the best scenarios with what you have. As far as a mentor goes, you just gotta jump in head first and try it out!

Welcome to the RA board!!

I was wondering if video value coupons are tradeable. I was having problems with my printer and lost several of them because it was insisting there was a paper jam and would cancel the print job, and then of course they say already printed. I know they have a name on them but aren't linked to the wellness card. I doubt my cashiers would care about the name as long as they scan. I was just curious because I haven't seen any up for trade.

Yes you can trade them because (as of right now) they are not attached to any wellness card. If in the future, they do become attached to a certain card like CVS qs that print from the coupon center, then they become un-tradeable.

I was wondering how many rite aid cards can you have like if i wanted to get one and if my husband wanted a different one could i do that?

[amylynne01]

From RA's website:

Limit of one (1) card per customer, four (4) cards per household

I'm reading this as if you go in the store alone, you use one card. If you and hubby go in the store together, you can each use your own card.

I need to update the FAQ sticky with this info.
