From reader Laura on the Pilot G2 Pen deal:
“Also, I discovered yesterday that the $1 RR from the Pilot G2 pens is rolling! If you notice at the bottom of the RR, it simply says “Thank you for your purchase.” with no mention of the RR being sponsored by Pilot or any other brand.
I used my $1 RR to purchase another Pilot G2 pens just to test it out: bought (1) Pilot G2 2-pk pens, used $1 RR from previous Pilot G2 pen purchase, paid nothing OOP, and got another $1 RR! I repeated this 2 more times at a different store and it worked both times. Both stores had plenty of these pens in stock. I’m planning to stock up on red Pilot pens for grading – teachers love them!”
Pilot G2 Gel Pens (2-pk.), $1
Get $1 RR
FREE after RR!
Laura also mentioned that she saw a sign advertising that Colgate Total will be FREE after RRs for the week of 8/9. Hold on to any good Colgate coupons you have for a money maker!

From what I understood Walgreens does not have a printed coupon policy and therefore does not have a policy about adjusting coupons down. The only time I’ve had luck with coupons that are over the value of the item is for ones that have a IVC in the flyer as well because the actual price is higher and the manufacturer coupons work.
Basically Walgreens has said it is up to the inidividual store from everything I”ve seen!

^^^^
IVC = ???
Lauren
The instant value coupons (IVC) that they use in their ads that are Walgreens coupons.
K
thanks Lauren! :)
Lauren
No problem, K. Sorry for the confusion, I’d seen it abbreviated elsewhere and didn’t think :D

My mom howns her own business and I purchased 13 packs of the highlighters today using 6 coupons and had no problem. Paid .86 for them all! I didn’t even try to get just 12 because all of my local stores have told me that they cannot adjust coupon amounts as it is a “loss prevention issue”. I think we did well, though!

I emailed Walgreens corporate through the contact us on the website last night after the assistant store manager at one of our stores said she’d never heard of a policy to adjust coupons down. I told her I’ve contacted corporate before on this so she would be getting a call. Sure enough the store general manager called me back this morning right away to apologize. He verified that YES it is current Walgreens corporate policy to accept the coupon and adjust it down to the item cost when the item is less than the coupon. He also said he was having each of his employees re-read the corporate coupon policy and initial it this week. However he wouldn’t agree to give me a copy of the policy to carry around. He said corporate won’t allow that because policies can change. Tara is there any chance you can get Walgreens customer service to do a guest post on your site to tell us what current policy is and/or to clarify where the policy is posted in the stores so we can ask employees to go look at it if there’s a problem? This happens so often you’d think they would want to address it too.

My Walgreens would not accept the highlighter coupon when I tried to purchase two packs of highlighters (value did not reach $1). I asked the manager to adjust the value of the coupon down and he said that that would be ‘coupon fraud’ and would not do it.

I went today to pick up two of the highlighters, the coupon didn’t work so I added a pack of gum and it went through just fine. The manager said that they only adjust the coupon down if it is their own coupon (in the flyers). He let me know that if the purchase amount – pre tax – is greater than the coupon I shouldn’t have a problem in the future.

i used my highlight coupons just fine and they all worked . i also had a coupon for the other pens and i could only find a 2 pack for 5.49 so i ended up paying 3.49 did i choose the wrong pens
michelle
oh i also bought other stuff so maybe that is why they worked
Amanda
mine didn’t roll either. I bought the gel pens, got the RR, went to another Walgreens, and while I got free pens that time, no more RR. Oh well! $1 for 4 gel pens is pretty good!
CJ
The Pilot RR’s do say “Thank you for your purchase” on the left lower corner, but they also say “PILOT CORP” above the barcode in the middle.
Laura
CJ – yeah, I noticed that yesterday as well … looks like the RRs themselves haven’t changed, just the programming on the register.
