I'm looking but haven't found yet. WAGs coupon official policy. I'm new to shopping there on a regular basis. The cashier today said they didn't take IPs. I was trying to use 2 Stayfree IPs w. 2 BOGOs. So because the line was backing up I had him take out my All because it was going to mess up my totals. I'd like to go back there with my receipt and have them take them off the total. KWIM? I'm pretty sure I used IPs there last week. Do they take IPs? And would you go back?

The frustrating thing about WAG is that they have no official coupon policy. Each store manager is allowed to set the "rules" for his/her store. Your best bet is to speak with the store manager and if you can't get assistance there, speak with the district manager. Some stores allow IPs and some don't. Some allow 2 Qs for BOGO sales, some don't.

Help! Need to know about paying w/ RR's...

Here's my scenario:
Transaction #1: I purchase item X and it gives me $5RR.
Transaction #2: I purchase the SAME item X and it gives me $5RR

Transaction #3: I purchase a $4 item and a $6 item... Can I now use BOTH of the RR's I've received to pay for this transaction?

I know if I was buying 2 of X in one transaction, I would only EARN one RR, but can you only spend them that way too? I can't find that addressed anywhere... I've got a bunch of meter Q's, so I was hoping to buy several in separate transactions, but then spend them all at once in one big transaction...

Am I making sense? New to Wags... Have CVS down, but trying to expand :) Thanks!!

RRs don't roll at WAG, except in very rare instances. So, you can't use a RR from any promotion to purchase items from the same promotion and get another RR.
Using more than one RR per transaction is YMMV. Some stores won't allow it because they misunderstand the one per transaction wording in the ad. All it really means is that only one RR will print for each promotion per transaction. HTH.

Hi... thanks for the reply.. that's not exactly what I'm asking... I don't want to roll in the same RR promotion... week of 1/31, I want to buy 3 meters in SEPARATE transactions... get 3 x 10 RR's...then I want to use all 30 in RR in one transaction to buy lots of other stuff, some that generate RR's...but no other meters included in my $30 transaction... Can I do that? Can I spend the 30 RR in one transaction, even though they were all generated from the same original product in separate transactions?

Yes, you can do that. As long as your store will allow you to use all three RRs in the same transaction. The register will allow it, it's the store's issue of not allowing it IF they won't. If they won't allow it, just stand there and break up your items into three transactions and make people wait. LOL. Maybe they'll get the idea soon enough, and let you do it in one transaction.

EXCELLENT!!! Thanks so much for the super-quick reply... Now I can continue my planning! I'm so loving Walgreen's!!!

I had that same problem as well. The Walgreen's near my house takes ip's if I'm not mistaken. I went to one close to my fiance's school today and they don't take them. :sad: It's frustrating that some stores don't treat ip's like the inserts. I believe every store needs to treat ip's like inserts since companies like smart source offer inserts and online. Just my opinion.

Most of my stores take ips, but Mikki is right. It is up to each store and store manager to decide. I would go in and talk to the manager rather than the cashier and see what the manager says. If it is still a no go, at least you know the policy for that store and can hopefully find a store that does take them.

i totally understand your frustrations. Due to all the fake IP's it's hard. Some of my kroger will take IP others won't. I can't blame them, because they lose alot of money because of fake coupons :sad:
