Notes on Balance Rewards points

Walgreens Balance Rewards points accrue on your Balance Rewards card when you buy featured items in the ad each week. Every 1000 points is worth $1.00. You can "cash out" (spend) your Balance Rewards points in increments of $1.00 too. If you allow your points to accrue, they are worth more toward a larger total (must use all points in the same transaction to enjoy this perk):

$10 10,000 points
$20 18,000 points
$35 30,000 points
$50 40,000 points

Your points expire 12 months after they are earned or if an account has been inactive for 6 months. Learn more about Balance Rewards at this link.

Register your card at Walgreens' site to receive 10 points for every $1 spent in store too.

Walgreens Beauty Enthusiast Club

Join Walgreens' Beauty Enthusiast club and earn 5000 Balance Rewards points ($5) for every $50 spent on beauty and personal care products at Walgreens. Get a 20X Everyday Points digital coupon when you sign up too.

No RRs this week

There are no notable Register Rewards deals this week.

Notes on Register Rewards

You will only receive one Register Reward per offer per transaction. Example: A name-brand box of cereal generates a $1 Register Reward. Buying three identical boxes will not generate three $1 rewards. You cannot use Register Rewards to pay for items made by the same manufacturer. This will prevent the next set of Register Rewards from printing.

Example: I have a $1 Register Reward that I received buying Crest. If I use it to buy more Crest, the register will not generate another reward, as the first Crest reward prevents it from printing. Now, if I used a Crest Reward to buy Colgate, a Colgate Reward would print. I could then use that to buy Crest, and so on.

You can receive multiple Register Rewards in the same transaction, provided they are separate offers. I can buy a box of cereal that generates a Register Reward, a tube of toothpaste that generates a Register Reward, and a bottle of shampoo that generates a Register Reward -- all in the same transaction -- as long as they are different offers in the same ad.

Shopping this week at Wags, my favorite cashier mentioned the Balance Rewards program was changing. This is what I found on their site.

Balance® Rewards program changes

Starting Nov. 4, 2018, we’re simplifying our redemption levels so every 1000 points equals $1. You’ll be able to redeem at any of these five tiers, including the new 4000-point tier. The maximum redemption limit per eligible transaction is 5000 points ($5 reward).

So that means we can no longer save up our points and use 40,000 and get $50 off your order. So sad …
