There was a $2 SCR on the Prell for the week in which I bought the Prell. I have already submitted for my December SCR - will I still be able to get the Prell SRC as well? Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by register reward BUT
Rite aid rain checks usually expire in 30 days. However if they have not got the product back in stock by then you can have them rewrite the rain check. I have to do some updating in this FAQ thread about rain checks. But once the product does come back in stock and you make your purchase then you call the SCR number. I believe option number 2 is for rain check purchases. Tell them which month you are referring too and they will issue you a check out.

Fixed it to read Single Check Rebates - obviously had wags on the brain!

Now that you say that I see the 30 day thing on the receipt - I should have renewed it yesterday! Ah, well, thanks!

Don't throw it away, ask the manager if he will still accept it or if he would be willing to rewrite it. Never hurts to ask.

I just started using the Video Values to get coupons and have a few questions.

I know we can only print one time but it asks for a number of copies, can we print out any number we want or is there a limit for what you are supposed to print?

Am I correct in assuming the coupons get refreshed every month and you can earn 1 - $5/20 per month?

After I watch the videos, how long do you have the option to print the coupons from "my rewards"? At the top it says "January Coupons, coupons expire 2/28/10" so does that mean I can print them anytime before 2/28/10 or do I need to print them before January is over?

Thanks

Since it gives you the option, you can print as many as you want.....HOWEVER please note they do say 1 per customer---some RA's enforce the limit, others don't......so YMMV on using more than 1 at a time. Am I correct in assuming the coupons get refreshed every month and you can earn 1 - $5/20 per month? So far this has been the case. After I watch the videos, how long do you have the option to print the coupons from "my rewards"? At the top it says "January Coupons, coupons expire 2/28/10" so does that mean I can print them anytime before 2/28/10 or do I need to print them before January is over? I believe you should be able to print them up until they expire....HOWEVER the videos will disappear (when the new month ones become available) before the coupons expire so make you watch the videos you will be needing. Thanks

I've only been hard core dealing since last year. I've got CVS, Wags, and my Food Lion down pat. I have stayed clear of RA because it seems there are NUMEROUS variables (VV, ADQ, MFQ, SCR) to consider. I really want to attempt the deals at RA, but I have been studying RA for about 1.5 hrs now. I have 5 tabs in my IE open: RA forums, HCW CDB, RA Master List Thread, SCR Program, and VV Program. I am sooooo burnt!! I understand what everything stands for and what can/can't be used together. It seems the deals are great but I can't seem to process it all into ONE BIG scenario that satisfies me. So my question is, when you began dealing at RA, how did you begin, what was your method?

I almost shed a tear at how much I want to attempt, but feel crazed when I think about it. Off to bed to now, my brain is fried. Will try again tomorrow.

First.........I want to tell you that I know NOTHING about CVS because we do not have any around here. However, we do have walgreens and I can tell you with 100% honesty that if you can do walgreens than RA is a piece of cake! THANK YOU for taking the time to get familiar with the RA, that is a great start..........but remember you don't have to know everything all at once. The best way to get started is just to hop right in! Check out the weekly thead and pick a deal that you want to start with. Everyone in the RA forum is very friendly and helpful. Also......you can PM me anytime with questions. I can't wait to hear about your first RA deal!

Thanks for the love! I feel a bit more optomistic today. I'm determined to work a great deal!

One more question....is there a particular order coupons should be presented to the cashier for the lowest OOP?

No, except the only coupon you always want to hand first is the $/$$
Besides that coupon, it is NOT like walgreens.......order does not matter. (See, told ya RA is easy compared to walgreens )
