    Is the Checkout51 All offer still available for others? Mine says it is gone.

    • Angel

      Yup, it’s showing zero remaining. 🙁

    • Kat

      Mine says it’s gone too. 🙁

    • Happymama

      I didn’t did it either. Shame because its the easiest app to use! 🙂

  2. Vanessa

    Just when I thought I was going to skip Walgreens this week. THanks Collin for all that you do.

  3. Tammy

    The All offer on checkout 51 is gone.

  4. Heather

    My ALL offer is gone, but it does say new offer on Thursday….so hopefully that means the same deal.

  5. Lynn

    Just wondering…can you do the points booster coupon multiple times or is it once per card? Also, I was trying to understand the fine print, it looks like you can’t redeem points and get the bonus in the same transaction, can someone clarify? I am new to this site and new to walgreens shopping! I have always found them a little confusing with all the rules so I stopped going there, however, there are so many good deals!

    • Becka

      You can not redeem point and earn in the same transaction at Walgreens.

    • I Love Shopping

      I need help clarifying too, if I buy items that generate register rewards only, can I pay with points? Then vice versa, if I buy items that earn points only( i.e. gillette and booster points) can I pay with register rewards? Collin, do you already have a video on this? Sorry, if I missed it.

    • Leslie

      I’ve done the points booster twice already using the same card. I plan to do it a couple more times today.

  6. seema

    Can the total be $25 before Walgreens coupons as well or after Walgreen’s coupons?

    • Becka

      Your total must be $25 before the Walgreen coupons but you can use MQ to lower your oop.

      • mel

        $25 has to be AFTER Walgreens coupons have been deducted, otherwise the booster coupon won’t work

  7. I Love Shopping

    Oh, and I have a manufacturers coupon for each item I am buying.

  8. Mel

    I have almost 40,000 points at Walgreens and I can never find a way to use them since you can’t use points on a transaction where you earn points and that’s most of the sale items!

    • Emma

      This is never an issue for me, I can always find something I want or need that is not on sale

  9. Justine

    I was just told at a Walgreens that I have to have my total over $25 AFTER all coupons in order to use the point booster. I have been looking all over the walgreens website and I can’t find the answer anywheres. I called the 800 number and they said the same thing. Is this new because I swear I have done it before with coupons and it was fine.

    • Nicole

      I don’t get how these transactions work either. I’ve tried booster point offers before (with MQ only to lower oop) and they’ve never generated the extra points! Cashiers told me I definitely had to spend $25 oop, and when I called corporate they confirmed that it HAD to be $25 oop. I don’t know why it works for some people paying less. Definitely not with my card!

      • emma

        Yes, my store and corporate told me the same thing. $25 cash money oop, after coupons. hip2 save, krazycoupon lady and others come up with these scenarios that technically should not work.

      • Laurel

        I had this same problem, but when I called customer service (855-225-0400) they added the 5000 points to my account. They told me that the total only has to be $25 before the mfg coupons.

    • K

      I believe it has to be over $25 after Walgreens coupons but before mfg coupons – I’ve done it in the past many times and my total oop was less then the $25 because of my mfg coupons… They may have changed it this time though – I will have to try it out

      • K

        Just a side note – make sure to scan the booster coupon Before scanning in any coupons

    • Natalie

      They are wrong.I just did the points booster deal a few times yesterday and all my transactions were around $15 after coupons.On one transaction my total was about $27 and then I had them scan my walgreens rewards card and then the points booster coupon and then they scanned all my coupons.I earned all my booster points on my transactions.

  10. Suzanne

    What is “item to coupon ratio?” Thanks!

  11. susan

    I think it’s AFTER all coupons too. I bought $27 worth of products, but $18 after manufacturer coupons and didn’t get the 5,000 points.

  12. Justine

    “item to coupon ration” means there can only be one manufacturer coupon per item. If you have a BOGO coupon that is 2 items but 1 coupon so you could use a Register Reward coupon with that transaction. That is why Collin will have fillers such as the Elf cosmetics in this scenerio.

  13. Anita Brann

    I just did 5 transactions. Scan items, scan Wags cpns, make sure total is $25, scan booster cpn and then scan mfg cpns. Recieved 5000 points everytime.

  14. sid

    I did it yesterday with nasocort, firefly and neilmed.. it wrks. Remember coupon ratio and always scan point booster before coupons and found out u can not use store credit and get points, its messes up the whole transaction.

  15. Maria

    Just came back from Walgreen and I was told I could use mfg coupon with the 5000 busters poing.

  16. Ginger

    So how can I use the points booster with my Almay coupons ? Will it work as long as I start at $25 not including then IvC coupon?

    • Ginger

      Can I use points booster then wags ivc coupons and Almay coupon with Bogo? Lol .. Wow no wonder we are confused 😉
