Let’s face it shopping at Walgreens can be a little tricky. It takes a bit of time to learn all their weird little tricks and rules. But once you get it down, it is totally worth it because they have awesome deals each week! I happen to have a VERY coupon friendly store, with knowledgeable staff that makes shopping there very easy.
Once of the hardest things is when your Register Reward does not print. I get an email at least once a week from my readers telling me that their local store said the reason there register reward did not print was because they paid with a coupon. This is the the #1 excuse given but never the case.
I encourage you to find this weeks Walgreens ad, and on the back page it clearly shows you can use a MFR coupon and still get back a register reward. If you happen to shop at a store that is not so coupon friendly clip this out and keep it with your Walgreens coupon policy in your coupon binder for future reference if needed.

Hi Liz, That is correct. If you have An RR for say Gilette you can use the RR to payfor another Gilette but it won’t print anoher RR. I did this scenario with Finish Gelpack.
I recently bought my husband 20 gillete razors. I used a MFR coupon for my first razor, and then I received the RR back. I used a MFR coupon and the RR on the next razor, and it printed out another RR. I continued to do that until I had used all of MFR coupons. Then I ended up with one RR left for my next purchase. It may depend on the state in which you live. I’m not really sure, unless they have changed their policy.
The way Liz explains it is the way it has been explained to me.
If you buy a P and G item that produces a RR you can not use it on another P and G item and get a new RR as the RR is a coupon sponsored by P and G and they are paying for the item in RR they are not giving you another coupon for buying with one of their coupons.
At least this is the way it has been explained to me many times by customer service and various walgreens.
I am not 100% on this either but this is what seems to be true.
Sorry, to clarify I meant you can’t use a RR that you got for one item to pay for AND get another RR. HTH!
Kassi- I have heard that you cannot use a RR for one item, on that same item. So, I’m assuming if the RR said “gillette”, I’m assuming you can’t use that on another gillette item, but I’m not 100% on that.
It can be pretty confusing, but I’ve got some great deals still!
Kassi- that is true and you have to make sure that the item is not by the same maker(P&G, etc…) or it will cancel out the RR. It gets a little tricky and I think that is why people do the deals and keep the RR for the following weeks sales.
An FYI– Fred Meyers will accept the RR (if Manufacture Coupon is on top) they get reimbursed the same so they gladly accept them.
Yesterday I went to Walgreens and tried this very thing. They said if the register rewards you are using to pay with was for the same brand as what you were using it with then you couldn’t get another rewards printed.
as of yet i havent had a problem with not printing a rr. fingers crossed.
