   I called Rite Aid Customer Service and they said the Coppertone deal combining the In-Ad coupon and Video Value coupon was a mistake. You are not supposed to be able to use these together (as we already know) however, because this is a printed mistake, they will honor it and if your cashier has any questions concerning it, just ask them to give Customer Service a call! 🙂

  Actually, according to Rite Aid’s coupon policy, you can use 1 video value cpn, 1 in ad coupon, AND 1 mfr coupon ALL on one item.

  The policy says :
  No more than one “48” Rite Aid Valuable coupon, one “49” Rite Aid Manufacturer coupon, and one “5” Manufacturer coupon can be used on a single item.

  Both the VV AND in-ad manuf coupon start with “49”.

  My rite aid has a blinkie machine right by the twizzlers for $0.75/1… makes a good deal if you didn’t get the Sunday ads! I was kind of excited… I’ve never seen blinkies at Rite Aid before 🙂

  My twizzler coupons state Use Only at CVS. Is this the same coupon that everyone received? I keep seeing these on all of the write-ups. and I’m not sure if I’m thinking wrong on it. Thanks!

  Some parts of the country will have some additional sales and +Up Reward offers. These regional offers will be denoted by the symbol *R*. Be sure to check your local ad for all of the offers specific to your region of the country.

   I’m confused about the bengay. Are you allowed to use 1 mq, 1 video valie, and 1 in-ad coupon on 1 item??

   Reply1
• 

  Collin June 25, 2011 at 7:20 pm MST

  No, you are right. Since both the Video Values and the in-ad coupon start with “RC49”, you cannot use the both of them on the same item. As a result, I just removed the Video Values coupon from the deal scenario.

  Nicole June 25, 2011 at 10:40 pm MST

  I did not know that was Rite Aid Policy to not use more than one ’49’ coupon per item.
  I do it all the time and I have never been denied it nor did the register beep.
  I used the man. Q, the in-ad Q, the VV Q and and UP+ reward for the Bengay and had a moneymaker of $1.51.
  I always use survey coupons with in-ad Q’s and VV coupons stacked with manu. coupons plus I always pay with the previous weeks UP rewards so I never pay anything out of pocket.
  That’s why Rite Aid is my favorite store you can use so many coupons on one item.

   First, yes you can use a video values and a rite aid ‘valuable’ coupon on the same item. It -is- in the coupon policy, but it is in the longer version that the employees get to read rather then in the shorter version.

   Second, some of your deals are technically incorrect. If something is on sale BOGO 50% (say, for $3.49) you cannot use 2 $2/1 coupons. Yes you can use two coupons, but technically one must be marked down to $1.74 (since that is the half price of the second item, and the coupon policy clearly states that the value of the coupon cannot exceed the price of the item) I noticed it in at least two of your deals. One for Sally Hansen products and the other for the Benadry Itch sticks. Now im not saying a cashier wont let it slide, but according to the coupon policy your deals are off.

  I’ve been told by RA managers a few times that they are under no circumstances allowed to alter the value of a coupon, that their only recourse is to modify the price of the product to match the coupon. I guess it’s the same idea that you’re referring to but I’m curious as to how that will work when the computer automatically rings the BOBO 50%, it almost makes the deal not worth the trouble it’s likely to cause…(I said ALMOST) 🙂

  Reply2
• 

  Heather June 25, 2011 at 9:23 pm MST

  Thats odd, because it is clearly in the policy that the cashier is supposed to change the value of the coupon (the RA coupon over the manuf. one if there is the option)

  Heather i work at Rite Aid and no we can not change the value of a coupon … we can increase the value of an item to corresponde with a coupon but CANNOT lower the coupobn to fit the item i dont know where you get your information about rite aid but it is wrong!!!!!

  Reply2
• 

  Cindi June 26, 2011 at 4:23 pm MST

  I believe the coupon can manually be entered for the value of the item if it is less than the coupon value..ex. 1.74 for a bogo 50% off, but the coupon value is 2.00. One can not get more money back than what they would have paid..before tax. the consumer gives up the full value of the coupon, but in return you are still getting the item for free.

  Collin (Mrs. Hip) June 27, 2011 at 3:52 pm MST

  Wow, people need to calm down and realize that there are nice, kind ways to relay information. I also work at Rite Aid and we adjust the coupon down to match the item. Is this policy? Obviously some would say no, but regardless this is what my store does.

  Thanks Collin for all your hard work on these!

  I have had a problem with some managers (actually only one certain one) at my Rite Aid here in Eugene refusing to alter the amount of the coupon so there is no overage. At this point I just try to go in when she is not there. I think this is a training issue and some employees just aren’t aware of how to change the amount.

    Is there a deal for the culturelle as well? Do you get the register rewards for buying two like the other product mentioned? There’s a $3 coupon online for referring a friend. If I did my math correctly, it would make the culturelle about $7.50 each if they retailed for $22 each like Wags does. That’s a great deal!

  The RA VV Q’s arent doubled and can only be used once. But, you can have more than one VV account because they’re not attached to your card, only an active email account. One can open several, free, email accounts per day then open the other RA VV accounts attached to each email account. That way you can watch, print and used multiple VV q’s and each one will be legit and scan without any problems.

  No, it doesn’t have to be purchased in one transaction. The buy $xx get $xx tracks at the bottom of your receipt, the promotions where you have to buy 2 to get $5 UP have to be bought in one transaction.

  Also, didn’t read up, but the jJuly Gold bond vv is $2/1 making the body wash FREE, watch it quickly before they realize they put up a $2 and advertised a $1!

    Just a heads up the Aleve that is 4.99 is NOT the right one for the $5 UP reward 🙁 I learned the hard way and bought 2 that were $4.99 and did not get the Up reward when I asked why she said because it has to be 40 count or larger! It does say that in the ad but I missed it. Kind of confusing though when it says retail value 4.99-9.99? The cheapest 40 count at my store was 7.49 🙁

    Reply1
• 

  Collin June 26, 2011 at 12:21 pm MST

  That is so strange as the ad specifically states that any Aleve 40+ ct. with a regular retail price of $4.99-$9.99 qualifies for the +Up Reward. You may want to contact Rite Aid customer service about this issue.

• 

  michelle June 26, 2011 at 5:37 pm MST

  I didn’t buy the 40 count I actually bought the 24 count because that’s the one that was 4.99? None of the 40 ct were anywhere near 4.99 and I wasn’t paying attention to the ad stating that it had to be 40ct or higher. I just don’t understand why it said retail value starting at 4.99 because none of the 40ct were even close to that price and that’s what threw me off!!

    Another question related to VV. I click “print” and the stup… silly printer didnt work (probably out of ink 🙂 but the VV shows as printed. What can I do? I already emailed Customer support but I am wondering if this is fixable, I hope so, since I can not use it twice, why would anyone lie about this…right?

  This has happened to me before and customer service emailed back within a day or two and reactivated the coupons for me. They are very helpful 🙂

    The Gold Bond VV coupon was for $2/1, so the body wash ends up being free!

    There is a $1 off Welness in the July Video Values. Does anyone know what it can be used on? It says non-prescription purchase. Can it be anything or it has to be a pharmacy item?

    Thanks

  I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure that the new VV’s come up the week that the new month begins, and so the previous month’s vv’s also end the week a new month begins, even if it’s still technically that month.

    For the Stayfree pads, could you use the BOGOF coupon, and one $1 off coupon (expires 6/30). I believe the knew policy states that you can use one “cents off” coupon with a BOGOF promotion or coupon. Therefore, these would be a moneymaker. (Buy 2, use BOGOF coupon ($2.50) and $1 coupon, pay $1.50, get $2 +UP on 2. $0.55 MM.

    Am I thinking this through right? or did I misunderstand the policy?

  you are right, but Collin doesn’t post deals that use a BOGO with another MFR coupon anymore. But like you said, Rite Aid’s policy does allow it.

    ok, I’m posting this to get some feedback/thoughts – visited Rite Aid tonight to do the Old Spice deal which is the following BOGO coupon, coupon reads: Buy one old spice deodorant get one old spice body wash FREE – beside the word FREE reads (of equal or lesser value) then a few words in spanish follow then after that in small print …are the words Up to $5.99 – so up to the counter I take my deod $2.50(proper size) and my body wash ($5.29 in price) and she now says that because the coupon says (of equal or lesser value) beside the word FREE – the body wash has to be equal or lesser value of the deod? I thought the body wash had to be under or equal to the $5.99 that was printed on the coupon? I kept saying I thought it was the 5.99??? any comments/suggestions to this???

    Has anyone ever gotten the message on the register when a coupon beeped “coupon exceeds amount due.”? This happened to me twice yesterday. The first time the associate said it was because I was recieving up rewards and they couldn’t pay me to shop…..what a load of bologna. But it was in regards to the Coppertone deal, using the 3 coupons and I figured the register must be smarter than the person editing the ad, so I didn’t push it (although his rudeness was not lost on me and I was glad that a survey code on my receipt printed so I could evaluate his customer service.) But then it happened again! I was buying the BOGO Banana Boat and used some UP rewards and a VV coupon to lower my out of pocket and when I tried to use 1 MQ on the Banana Boat I got the same message about the coupon exceeding the amount due when I still owed $4. It was sooooo confusing. So they called a manager over and he said it was because the coupon said one coupon per purchase and I had used several Up coupons. He couldn’t back it up with the coupon policy….he didn’t even know where one was and I was kicking myself for not having my binder. And to make matters worse, he told me, “You know what, we aren’t one of those shows where you can get a bunch of stuff for free.” I felt so demeaned! I wasn’t trying to clear any shelves or do anything against the coupon policy I was just buying some sunscreen for my kids! And to make it even worse, I just realized this morning that I left the sunscreen that I bought at the store. After all that, I just wanted to get out of there and didn’t even get the products I paid for!

  I went back this morning and my bag was there and a copy of the coupon policy was in the bag. I guess the manager had gone and found one, because he couldn’t find one when he was talking to me. Someone had circled the statement that more than one coupon can be used for a single item and then they circled the max number of three. His arguement was that I had used too many coupons on the one item, counting the up rewards as coupons. I wish I could have had the policy to say, “read on…..” because it goes on to state, ” Up coupons are EXCLUDED from these maximums since they are credits earned from prior purchase.” So he proved my point. I am thankful he gave me this document. It is the one that associates are suppose to read and sign. It even says under Common Errors and Misconceptions: “Savvy Coupon customers can buy $50 in merchandise and after they presented all their coupons, they pay $5. My store is taking a big loss here.” And then goes on to explain. “In reality the vast majority of savvy coupon shoppers are using manufacturer coupons which are fully reimbursed by manufacturer. These sales are profitable for Rite Aid, provided the guidelines discussed above are followed. These savvy customers are to be treated with the same courtesy we show to other customers.” I think I am going to highlight a few statements and lamanate this thing!

  I’m sorry you had such a bad experience and the customer service was less than inviting! Some people are so against anyone getting a good deal – even when we are following the rules and being courteous couponers.

  I think what you ran into is you had too few items and 1 to many coupons. This has happened to me in the past when I was buying a B1G1 item, using 2 coupons (1 for each item) AND a register rewards to pay the difference … 2 items and 3 coupons. The quick and easy way to resolve this is to snag a piece of wrapped carmel that they have at the register – 30¢ a piece (or a pack of gum, soda, candy bar) anything to make the items equal the amount of coupons including RR. Once I started throwing in a piece of candy – the nasty beep was silenced. Good luck!

  This coupon item ratio would be right IF this happened at Walgreens 🙂 Rite Aid doesn’t have that rule though, you can use 100+ups on 1 item as long as the +ups dont exceed the value of the item. Happening 2 times, i am thinking it was a glitch of some sort I’d efinetely fill out the survey but also CALL corperate and speak to someone about the issue, they are great about fixing issues and setting managers and whoever straight!

    I have a question has the +up policy changed?

    Today I purchased around $35 worth of goods and after Q and +up (from the last two weeks) my OOP was just about $3. I was suppose to receive $7.39 in +up but they did not print. we called over the manger and she said…BECAUSE I PAID LESS THAN WHAT I WAS GOING TO RECEIVE IN +UP THE SYSTEM WILL NOT PRINT THEM. SHE ALSO SAID THAT RA IS PUTTING TO AN END PEOPLE GETTING PAID TO SHOP “GETTING OVER ON THEM AND RIPPING THEM OFF”… I shop at RA every Tuesday, I don’t clear the stock, my Q’s are ALWAYS in order (date, sizes, etc), I am not a scam artist and certainly not trying to GET OVER ON THEM AND RIP THEM OFF! However after my transaction ( without said +up’s) I felt 2 inches tall, I could not believe she said that in the tone that she had. It seams to be getting more and more complicated and demeaning to use coupons…really don’t want to go back to that store anymore…

    thanks for listening (reading) my rant..oh and can someone answer my question…thanks.

  I would contact Rite Aid Corporate and explain to them about your experience. There should have been no reason why you didn’t receive your +UPs. In the past, I have never had a problem with +UPs, when my total was less, but then again, they might be changing their rules. However, I did find out that when I went to input the survey codes for my mother and mother in law on my home computer, it wouldn’t work. Then I tried on my work computer, no luck. I called corporate to find out that you can only do 3 surveys within 30 days and if you attempt to try it for the 4th or 5th, etc survey codes, those codes will lock up and won’t be valid on another computer at all. I had lost 4 survey codes due to this. The customer service person was very sweet and felt bad for me, since this is a new policy is said that she would send me a $12 gift card. So I would highly recommend, a call to corporate.

    First off I want to tell Pam that I’m sorry she was treated that way! My question is if anyone knows where to find a copy of RA’s return policy, particularly regarding items that come with an +UP. I didn’t realize until I checked out yesterday that when it says “one offer per household” it apparently means for the entire group of items, not each one specifically. I got my +UP for the Crest toothpaste, but then it did not print for the toothbrushes and said I had reached the limit. I’d like to keep the toothbrushes and return the toothpaste if possible, as I am in need of them more. Thanks!

    There was another Stayfree coupon from the Sunday paper for $1 off any product. I used both the BOGO and the $1 off on the Stayfree deal.

    So first off, I didn’t take out the time to read all comments and make sure this deal was not already posted, so if I’m reposting it, I’m sorry.
    Last night I was at my Rite Aid and found john frieda full repair shampoo and cond. in the travel size section for 1.49. I used my 5.00q off ANY john frieda full repair and scored 3.51 in overage!! 😀 Lets just say I treated myself to some much needed nail polish. 🙂 I plan on going back this weekend and seeing if they have restocked 🙂 Mama need’s a new red lip stain! 😉
