How long does it usually take to get your Walgreen's Rebate Gift Card in the mail?

The first one usually takes 4-6 weeks to arrive in the mail. It comes in a very plain white envelope so be careful not to throw it away! After you receive your first one you can just 'reload' it so you don't have to wait very long to receive your rebates.

What do I do with expired coupons?

If you're like me, you've got a stack over a foot tall of expired coupons...so what do you do? Throw them away? NO! Military commissaries overseas accept manufacturer cents-off coupons for up to six months past their printed expiration dates. For more information please visit http://www.ocpnet.org/.

How do you use the EBC's on your card? I know you make 2% on almost every purchase, so how do you access that money that is on your card?

The ECBs that you earn from spending are available quarterly. They will either send you an email and you can print them, or they will print out on your next receipt once they are available.

Can ECB's from one card be used to buy things on a different card?

No. The ECBs are specific to their own card.

How do you convert Walgreen's RR into a Gift Card?
Buy everything that is Free after rebate (FAR) from the Easy Saver Catalog (ESC) and paid with my RR. I will submit my receipt online and get that money back in either a check, or on a Wags GC. If you choose the Wags GC they give you a 10% bonus.

How many ECB receipts can I use on a purchase? Lets say I purchase $20 worth of items and I have a $10 ECB a $5 ECB and a $4 ECB can I use them all at the same time or do I have to choose one of them to use PER PURCHASE?
There is no limit on how many ECBs you can earn or spend on one transaction.

Can I use my ECB's online?
You can only use the quarterly ECB online, not the ECBs that print at the bottom of your receipt

Do I earn ECB's if I purchase items online?
No.

I went to Walgreens and got stuff on the 9 or more get $20 RR...we'll I did that and it worked okay, but then when I bought more stuff on that sale and used my RR it didn't spit out any more RR's...what's up with that?

At Walgreens, the RR cannot be rolled into the same deal. This particular week I did the P&G deal, used the RR from that deal to buy the Venus Embrace Razor, which produced at $6 RR. I used that RR to do the P&G deal. Rinse and Repeat!

1. What is a Single Check Rebate from Rite Aid?
We don't have them in Florida...but from what I can tell they are rebates. It looks like you submit them at the end of the month and they'll mail you a check that can either be cashed or used back in the store.

Go HERE to sign up

2. There is a mouth rince for $2.99 and a single check rebate of $2.99 then I also have a 1.00 off coupon...what does that mean?
That means that you just made a dollar! Go buy it, use the Q and submit your receipts at the end of the month and you'll get the $2.99 back in an SCR.

3. Does Walgreens double coupons?
Not to my knowledge. Nobody doubles coupons where I'm from...you have to check with your local stores.

4. Do you only get ECB, RR or Single Check Rebates on items that are listed that way or do you earn them on each purchase?
I know at CVS you get 2% of everything you spend back in ECB, as well as $1 for every two Rx filled. Walgreens doesn't have a card, so there is no real way to track your spending there. And from what I can tell, Rite Aid doesn't do any percentage back, but I could be wrong.

5. The first time I go to Walgreens or CVS, will I spend more money in order to build up my ECBs.
Yes. Since you will start out with no RR or ECB in hand you'll have to pay cash. The only way around that is to transfer a Rx when they have a promotion going for a $25.00 gift card. Most of the time they'll take competitors Rx coupons...so if you have something that you get filled at Walgreens you can transfer it to CVS, hand them a Rite Aid coupon and get you gift card.

When you earn your RR, do you get to use that money right then?
Register Rewards can be used like 'cash' on your next purchase. The only trick is you cannot use more manufacturer's coupons than you have items, and RR count as a manufacturer's coupon.

And, do you follow the ads that come weekly to see what is on sale, and then go to the sale and use the coupon ON TOP of the sale?
Coupons can be used on top of the sales! I check them about a week prior to see if there is a deal that I need to buy coupons for.

If I try to use my ECB coupon for a purchase with total less than the amount of the ECB, am I wasting money? Does the remaining amount go into an ECB balance or do I loose it?
You do not get any part of the ECBs back. If you end up with a purchase less than what your ECB is worth, grab something that you'll need anyway - milk, diapers, etc.

I have a question, when you get a buy one get one free item at Publix if you had two coupons (one for each item) could you use them both or not because technically you are only purchasing one of those items?
That is a YMMV situation. There is a snotty manager at the Publix at Town Center who claims you can't use two coupons since you're only paying for one, but she's the only one I've ever had a problem with.

Also, at CVS if you were to buy several things in one transaction that had the extra bucks attached to them do they add them up or should you make separate purchases for all the items?
If you are buying multiples of the same item they will print on one ECB...but if you are buying different items they will print on separate ECBs

Last question, with that $4 off cosmetic coupon you posted, does it just have to be one item or can you get a few to add up to $20?
It's just $4 off a $20 purchase of beauty stuff. If that means you buy 20 products that cost $1 each you still get $4 off.
