Walgreens Balance Rewards Deals

Notes on Balance Rewards

If you use Balance Rewards to pay for an item that generates more Balance Rewards to your Walgreens loyalty card, the second set of Balance Rewards will not accrue. Paying with points prevents more points from being loaded. Save your points and spend them on non-Balance Rewards items.

New Everyday Balance Rewards points

Get 10 Balance Rewards points for every $1 you spend at Walgreens! These new Everyday points DO need to be activated online with your card prior to shopping. Visit this link to activate.

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 Colgate. If I use it to buy more Colgate, the register will not generate another reward, as the first Colgate reward prevents it from printing. Now, if I used a Crest Reward to buy Colgate, the 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.

FREE + moneymaker Colgate toothpaste

Colgate toothpaste (ad says "select varieties" and shows Optic White and MaxFresh) are on sale for $3. Buy one and get $2.50 in Register Rewards! Use this $1 printable. Pay $2 and get $2.50 back, making this FREE and a moneymaker! The 8/16 SS has a .50 coupon too that will make it FREE after the deal.

$1.50 Crest mouthwash

Crest 3D White 16oz. mouthwash, 4.1oz toothpaste and Oral-B toothbrushes are all on sale 2-for-$8. Buy two and get $3 in Register Rewards. The ad says to use a $2-off-2 printable (posted online after Sunday). Pay $6 and get $3 back. That's $3 for two, or $1.50 each. (Mouthwash is your best deal here.)

$2 Glade products

Selected Glade products are 2-for-$6. Buy two and get $1 in Register Rewards. Here are your matchups:
