Tips: Have a Walgreens RR/Catalina Coupon Question? Ask it Here

[TandEsMommy]

Sorry if this has been covered in better detail somewhere, but I have only been able to find vague references to there being some sort of rule, but no actual explanation.

I think I know that we cannot use a RR generated on a particular deal to generate another RR for the same deal; for example, I cannot purchase a Gillette razor this week to receive the $5 RR, then turn around and purchase another but pay some of my OOP with that RR if I want to get the RR again. Correct? Seems logical enough.

I have seen some reference, however, to not being able to use a RR generated by one manufacturer to get a RR on a different deal when the two products share a manufacturer. So, is it correct that I also cannot use my hypothetical $5 Gillette RR on, say, a Febreeze or Crest RR deal without forfeiting the RR for the new deal?

I hope that makes sense outside of my head....and if this is the case, is it only one manufacturer RR per week/reward period?

Your question makes perfect sense. I hope my answer doesn't complicate things more for you.

All P&G RRs have special wording on them that say that they cannot be used to purchase other P&G products. So, according to the wording on the coupon, you could not use a Febreeze RR to buy a Gillette product.

If you are talking about another manufacturer whose RRs do not have that restriction then it is sometimes okay and sometimes not. If you had a $5 Skippy RR (made by Unilever) and wanted to buy Dove (also made by Unilever) that would generate a $4 RR then they would be two totally different deals and it would usually work. If they were for the same amount then it would depend on how the RR was programmed. There is usually no way of knowing before the sale starts, but someone will almost always post here and let us know if it will work. If you have a question about a particular deal you can ask in that week's deal thread and someone should be able to answer your question. HTH.

I went to Walgreens in Depew NY on the corner of George Urban Blvd. I wanted to purches the socks and Blistex smoothers that were free after RR. They were out of stock and refused to give me a raincheck for the item. They said that they couldn't give a raincheck for an free item because the manufacturer would not reimburse them for the cost after the RR event was over. How does your Walgreens handle this when they are out of an item? Thanks.....Ann Marie

Most stores will write you a raincheck for the sale price only. They can't make the RR print after the sale is over.
There have been a few folks say their store will write it for free, but unfortunately very few will do that.

i had a question regarding how many rr could you use per transaction. I dont shop at walgreens much because of the hassle regarding rr and coupons. Anyways, I went today to buy the gillete profusion. I had 2 rr i was going to use, 1 was for buying pepsi and the other was for the aussie in the previous week. Well the cashier went to scan the rr and the computer kept beeping on the second one only allowing me to use 1 rr on the transaction. This was not the case a couple of months ago so have they changed there policy regarding the rr?

RR count as coupons. At Walgreens you can't have more coupons than items. If you were buying the Fusion razor with no manufacturer's coupons then you can use 1 RR unless you have a filler for each rr more than one. If you were trying to buy it with a manufacturer's coupon you would not be able to use any RR unless you had small filler items in your order as well. So basically you had more coupons than items and that's why the register beeped and wouldn't take the second rr.

you will always get a register reward with any coupon except of the same register reward you got from (as in the same items you bought) sounds confusing but it is the best way I can explain it. most managers don't know that~ there must be some sort of bug in their system or the one you bought was excluded. try another store and have them void the whole transaction, if the same thing occurs, you will need to most likely contact 800-walgreens

If I use a RR towards the purchase of another item that generates a RR will that RR still print as long as it's not for the same product?

Yes, it will print. Just be sure to read the RR carefully. P&G RRs state that they are not to be used on P&G products. Real smart marketing there, huh?

Catalina playtex question...I have 2 of the free boxes cats from the Kotex deal...Do you think this would work?

$11.97 - 3 boxes of tampons
- 3.00 - IVC for $1 off
- 3.99 - Free Playtex Cat for 1st box
- 3.99 - Free Playtex Cat for 2nd box
- 1.00 - MF Q for the 3rd box
+ .25 - cheap filler
= $0.24 plus tax

Just curious. I have never used a Free Item Q/Cat with the IVC before! Thanks!!!
