Walgreens Register Rewards Deals

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.

Select Colgate products are $3.79 each or 2-for-$6. Buy two and get $4 in Register Rewards. Here are your products and matchups:

Colgate Max White or Max Fresh toothbrushes - 2-for-$6

- .50 off - 2/21 SS
- .75 off - Parents Magazine December 2015 issue

Buy two toothpastes. With two .50 coupons, pay $5 and get $4 back. That's $1 for two, or .50 each!
