Rite Aid: Official Corporate Coupon Policy

by 52 Comments

rite_aid
I know one of the biggest complaints I hear over and over about Rite Aid is that you’re having issues with Internet printable coupons. Reader Heather took matters into her own hands and contacted Rite Aid customer service.

They were kind enough to send her a copy of the official Rite Aid corporate coupon policy (PDF), which she in turn sent to me so that I could share it with all of you!

You’ll want to read the document in full, but I’ve picked out the most important parts to post here.

Rite Aid accepts four types of coupon:

1. Those generated by the manufacturer and found in newspapers and magazines
2. Manufacturer’s coupons found in Rite Aid circulars
3. Rite Aid store coupons, also known as “valuable coupons,” that are also found in Rite Aid circulars
4. Internet or print at home coupons

Limits on usage:

Standard Coupons (Non-Internet) — Only one manufacturer’s coupon is accepted for each product, unless coupled with a manufacturer’s or valuable coupon found in a Rite Aid circular.

Rite Aid reserves the right to deny redemption for coupons that exhibit signs of misrepresentation, including, but not limited to: “gang cut” (coupons presented in bulk that appear to have been cut by machine — a form of coupon fraud), similar cuts and tears, or sequential number patterns. Coupons may not be reproduced, photocopied, trimmed, or altered in any way by the customer or Rite Aid associate.

Internet Coupons — The following limitations apply:

  • Only one Internet coupon is accepted for each item unless coupled with a manufacturer’s or valuable coupon found in a Rite Aid circular
  • $5 limit on each Front End Internet coupon
  • $25 limit on Pharmacy Internet coupons (Rite Aid Prescription transfer offers, Competitor prescription transfer offers, etchttps://dealseekingmom.com/)
  • Internet coupons must have a valid barcode that scans successfully into the register
  • Manual entry it not permitted for Internet coupons that do not scan

So basically, yes, you can use Internet printable coupons, no limit, as long as they scan! I recommend printing this document and keeping it your coupon binder if you shop Rite Aid.

Thanks, Heather!

I know many of you have also had questions regarding the policy for using BOGO coupons in conjunction with a BOGO sale, a matter that’s not directly addressed in the document attached above. Reader Kelly took the time to email them, and here’s the response she received.

Kelly,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Our policy states that customers can use a BOGO coupon during a BOGO sale. You do not have to buy an extra item just to use this type of coupon.

So, you can use one BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale, therefore getting 2 items free. The register will automatically calculate any sales tax due on a zero sales transaction.

Carrie
Customer Support


Thanks, Kelly!

                    Taste of Home Magazine $2 Subscription

                    by 39 Comments

                    Taste of Home Subscription
                    I’m always on the lookout for new recipes, and I find a lot of great ones in my Taste of Home magazine. I’ve never seen it priced this low, so I thought I’d share this offer so all my DSM foodies can get in on it!

                    Get a one-year Taste of Home subscription for just $2. The site mentions that it’s a weekly special, so I’m not sure exactly when it ends. I’d recommend ordering ASAP if you’re interested! New subscriptions only.

                    Thanks, Cindy!

                    Giveaway: Avery Dennison School Supplies & Box Tops for Education

                    by

                    gift_basket-prpl 72

                    Now that school’s back in session, the focus has shifted to helping our schools raise money to afford new supplies, equipment and programs to provide better education for our kids! This year, Avery Dennison has partnered with Box Tops for Education, and Avery school supplies now include coupons to clip and turn in to your school to be redeemed for cash.

                    Avery Dennison sent me this great gift basket of products so I can share my thoughts on them, plus I get to give the same basket away to one of my readers! I wish I could say I’m an organized person, but I subscribe more to the organized chaos theory. However, products like these inspire me to file things away in a more orderly manner. I enjoyed sorting and filing and labeling my papers with Avery’s easy-to-use systems. Now if only I could keep them that way!

                    And who could resist the handy tote it was all packaged in? I have baskets and totes like these all over the house to corral all of our stuff. We have far more “stuff” than we actually need, but that’s a project best tackled when I give these crutches the boot. Anyone want to help?

                    One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a back-to-school prize package (worth over $50!) full of Avery Dennison school and office supplies, including: Hi-Liters, labels, GlueStics, binders, dividers, sheet protectors, Marks-a-Lot permanent markers, and t-shirt transfers!

                    To enter, share your favorite way to get involved at your kids’ schools! Do you volunteer in the classroom? Coordinate the bookfair? Help with fundraising?

                    +++++++++++++++

                    Every reader has four methods available to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, three, or four for up to a total of 4 entries!!!

                    Methods of entry:

                    1. Leave a comment. Tell me how you are involved at your kids’ schools. What is your favorite volunteer activity?

                    2. Add Deal Seeking Mom to your blogroll or add my badge to your sidebar. Make sure to come back and leave the link to your site in a separate comment!

                    3. Join the new Deal Seeking Mom Forums to chat about your great finds, special coupon codes, and chances to win exclusive giveaways. Leave a separate comment letting me know you’ve joined or that you’re already a registered user!

                    4. Subscribe to my feed via RSS or email. You must confirm your email subscription for it to be a valid entry! Leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. If you’re already a subscriber, simply leave a separate comment letting me know you’re already subscribed. Lovin’ my subscribers! You guys make this all possible.

                    Prize:
                    (1) Avery Dennison School and Office Supply Package, as described above

                    This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on 9/22. I’ll use Random.org to select the winning comment. Winner will be notified by email on and listed on my Giveaway Winners page. Good luck!
