411 on the Rite Aid Wellness+ Program

For every dollar you spend at Rite Aid, you earn a 'point' towards their Wellness+ Program.

Everyone is automatically started at the basic level but it gives you the discounted store prices that you see in their weekly ad, 'Load to Card' (e-coupons), Register Rewards (these track like CVS, so you don't have to knock out an entire deal at once, you can do it little by little if you want & it will print your progress at the bottom of your receipt), 2/7 access to a pharmacist &/or chat with a Rite Aid rep online for assistance.

The next level up is Bronze 250pts (you move up to a new level according to the amount of points that you earn).
->you still get all the same benefits, BUT you get 10% off on all Rite Aid brand items & a 10% off shopping pass.

Then Silver (500pts)
-> same benefits, but now you get 10% EVERYTHING in the store (sale, non-sale & clearance items)
->Free health & wellness reward at 500pts

The highest level you can reach is *Gold* (1,000pts)
-> same benefits but now you get 20% EVERYTHING in their store.****

As mentioned in a previous blog, you can do "Video Values" where you watch a short ad for a product & 'earn' a store coupon for it. These come available at the first of each month & actually don't expire until the beginning-mid of the following month. You are only able to print 1 of each coupon, so make sure you printer is acting right before you hit print or you lose it. These Video Value coupons can be stacked with an in-ad coupon, a manufacturer coupon AND an e-cpn.

You can get rainchecks for items that aren't available during that sales ad. I just learned earlier this week, that when a raincheck is issued, the cashier must scan your Wellness Card in order for you to still get the Up rewards. Their rainchecks are printed from the register & comes off on receipt paper (I will attach an example of a raincheck I had just to give you an idea, it's incorrect though because she didn't scan my Wellness card to attach the Up rewards & the rewards also weren't mentioned on it).
->When you redeem your raincheck your Ups should print with the rest on the bottom of your receipt because it is triggered between the raincheck & your wellness card when you purchase that item..
                    **Be advised that they EXPIRE 30days from the issue date**

*Receipts-you will notice that the coupons used will print underneath the item/brand that you purchased, this includes the 'load2card coupons', manufacturer coupons, and video value coupons...I'm not sure if the store ad coupons show there as well, sorry guys I'm still learning too lol.

Rite Aid often has monthly deals, which means you have the entire month to work on that promotion to earn the Up's for it. Be mindful of the 'limit', you don't want to attempt to do the deal twice if there is a limit of 1, because you won't get the Up's for it.

Their weekly ad has tons of Up reward opportunities, some of these also have limits, so be mindful when doing those deals as well.

Your Wellness card:

-will track all of your purchases, so it knows how much you have spent &/or if you have already reached the limit on a deal, so be sure to scan your card to not only receive items at sales prices, but also to help you keep up with what deals you've done so far & to see your progress in each deal

-Gives you the option of receiving your "Up" rewards printed on your receipt OR automatically loading to your card.
**As a couponer, I strongly recommend you just letting them print out on your receipt, that way you can control when, where, how, why & what it's applied to. (Ex: I bought 2 Poise products & $5.98 in rewards loaded to my card. I did the Bayer meter deal the following day & the $5.98 automatically came off on that purchase....this wasn't good because the meter was $9.99 & I had a store coupon for that meter for $10, so I wasn't able to use the coupon. HOWEVER, the cashier was able to cancel the transaction & I went & grabbed something else to add into the order so I can use the rewards AND the coupon).

-Will automatically PRINT your Up's on the bottom of your receipt unless you either go online or call customer service & have it changed to load to your card instead.

-Has a Rite Aid app that can be installed on your phone that gives you quick access to all thing Rite Aid
*you can 'clip' & 'unclip' coupons to your Rite Aid card (an AWESOME thing about their load 2 card coupons, is that once you have used one, you can go back in & add it to your card again if it is still available!)
*see what level you are at & how many points you currently have
*find a rite aid store near you
*view your wellness card (in case you forget your card, the cashier can scan your wellness card from your phone)
*Transfer/refill prescriptions
*View weekly ad
*Take a picture AND/or send a photo order to the store for pick up

**Once you are registered & log in to Rite Aid's website, you will see that it also:
-tracks your points & level
-tracks how much you have saved  through the weekly sales ad discounts, as well as how many Up's you have received!
-You can only CLIP coupons to your card, you can't remove it at this time (so the app is a more convenient way for you to make changes on there).
-Should you choose the option of 'load2card' for your Up's, you are able to see those as well, both online & on the app.

**Coupons (of course refer to their actual coupon policy: https://www.riteaid.com/customer-support/coupon-acceptance-policy 
Here are some important things to take note & be aware of:
*You cannot use a b1g1fq on a b1g1f store promo/sale. You CAN however, use a coupon on each item that is b1g1 50% off (a b1g1f q cannot be used on this either)
*Multiple coupons can be used on one item (see my earlier notes in the upper part of this post in the Video Value info)

**UP's Rewards:
- can be used on any non-prescription purchase,the exclusions are listed on the UP's
-apply to your transaction amount BEFORE tax. (the only way it MAY knock out some of your tax amount is if you give them to the cashier prior to any other coupons that you have. But I would only suggest doing so on a carefully planned out transaction so that you don't use too much of the Up rewards, which would result in you not being able to use the coupons if the balance is too low.
->Example: Using the current Schick deal, let's say I plan on buying 2 Schick Hydro Silk @ 12.49 ($ 24.98), I have 2-$4/1 in-ad store coupons & 2-$4/1 manufacturer coupons I will be using ($16 total in coupons): 24.98-16.00=$8.98 (before tax), if you have $8 in Up's you can plan on giving that upfront, and THEN after the cashier scans them, hand over your store coupons. If you have a $10 Up reward you wanted to use, then just add something else to your transaction in order to use it. They will not accept an Up reward if it is higher then your transaction amount BEFORE taxes.

Ok folks, that is all I have at this time. Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, don't be afraid to ask! If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find out!
