    Default Walgreens I've noticed lot more RR-- Is this a trend?

    Is this is what going to replace our ESR? Having more RRs? I liked the ESR because it loaded onto a gift card and there was no expiration date. With Register Rewards they expire in two weeks.

    I was thinking the same thing..RR stress me out though worrying about getting a filler, spending them in time, etc.

    I wish they would do it where it was auto-loaded on a card. Like you get your $10RR loaded on your gift card and it doesn't expire. Is that how CVS works? Not sure I don't have one :(

    From what I understand the extra RR is something they are trying out.....as far as I know these are not replacing the Easy Saver

    I do NOT know anything to be fact......but I have heard RUMORS about a card and earning points based on certain purchases. I don't like RR's so I sure hope they aren't a replacement

    CVS expires in one month and RR expires in two weeks. I think this is too short of time period to use them to our advantage.

    I don't really like rr's either -- I'm always holding my breath waiting for them to print. You don't always get them when you're suppose to, and when we use coupons, that is always their excuse for the rr's not printing ... manager is called, yada yada yada

    Happened to me the other day. They always get so snippy when you use coupons with a RR deal. It's almost like some of the cashiers hate to see you save money.

    I think the "Great" weeks just come and go. There are weeks with a ton of RR deals and weeks with none. I don't think this week is an exception - we have had weeks like this before, just different product.

    I hope RR isn't the substitute for the EasySaver program....

    I think the RR's are more to WAGS advantage than rebate offers and even coupons because 1)for a variety of technical reasons the RR might not print, 2)at my stores they print so slowly you could be leaving the register before they print unless you know to expect them, 3)it's pretty easy to lose those little slips of paper in a messy wallet, and 4)they may expire before you use them. So in the end I think it will end up that you can still get really good deals as long as you pay a lot of attention to what you're doing but that WAGS will end up ahead in the long run because most people won't end up using all their RR's anyway. Trying to stay positive and just see it as a new game to learn to play :))
