New Walgreens Coupon Policy as of May 2014

Walgreens has issued a new coupon policy and let me kill the suspense you are going to hate it. They have eliminated the best parts. The rules you need to know about are covered in 7,8,9 and the BOGO Section below.

The short of it is that  at Walgreens you will no longer be able to use coupons on free items of any kind.

General Guidelines

1. All coupons are to be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout.
2. Walgreens does not accept expired coupons. Coupons expire at 11:59 p.m. on the expiration date at the point of sale, whether in store or online.
3. Walgreens will not accept fraudulent or counterfeit coupons as determined by Walgreens.
4. Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards.
5. Competitor’s coupons shall not be accepted by Walgreens.
6. The number of manufacturer coupons, including Register Rewards®/Savings Rewards manufacturer coupons, shall not exceed the number of items in the transaction. The total value of the coupons shall not exceed the value of the transaction. Sales tax must be paid, if required by state law.
7. Walgreens will not accept coupons that exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.
8. Coupons that appear distorted, blurry or altered in any way shall not be accepted; all coupons must have a clear and scannable bar code.
9. For offers when multiple items are purchased and additional items are free (buy 1 get 1 free; buy 2 get 1 free, etc.), the number of coupons applied to that offer cannot exceed the number of items required in the “buy” portion of the offer.
10. Coupons may not be applied against any free item received in any offer (See 7 above).
11. Paper coupons will be processed before digital coupons.

14. Manufacturer coupons must include a valid redemption address.
15. Coupons may be subject to advertised offer limitations and all other limitations and restrictions on the applicable coupon or product.
16. Walgreens shall accept manufacturer coupons for items that are on sale.

Multiple Coupons

The guidelines below are to be followed in addition to the General Guidelines listed above.

1. When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
2. When purchasing multiple items, Walgreens accepts multiple coupons for multiple qualifying items, as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers, unless a limit is specified on the coupon. Management reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased and/or prohibit the purchase of excessive quantities. An excessive quantity is any quantity above and beyond normal household usage.

Buy 1, Get 1 Free Coupons

The guidelines below are to be followed in addition to the General Guidelines listed above.

When items are featured in a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion, at least one product needs to be purchased. A maximum of one BOGO coupon is permitted per two qualifying items in a BOGO offer.

Here is what the old one looked like….Goodbye old friend!
