This week I decided to touch on the RiteAid Drug Store game; unfortunately we don’t have any here in Central Florida, but I know a lot of my readers asked me about it. From what I heard, they are AWESOME.. I so wished we had one here ![]()
What is this SCR thing you are all talking about?
The SCR is the RA Single Check Rebate program. There are literally dozens of rebates published every month in a booklet that you can find in the store or online.
For more info about this, check it out HERE
For any questions you can contact 1-800-RITEAID (1-800-748-3243)
Single Check Rebate Phone Number 1-888-213-9920
Does RA take coupons? Yes.
Does RA take competitor’s coupons?
YMMV: some stores will, some won’t. The best thing to do is ask!
Do you need a loyalty card to get the sale prices at RA?
Yes, a Wellness+ card is needed to receive the sale price listed in the weekly flyer.
Does RA accept coupons for over the selling price of the item?
NO, the RA coupon policy states that any coupon over the purchase price of an item will be adjusted down, overage is NEVER permitted at Rite Aid.
Can I use a RA in-ad coupon in combination with a manufacturer’s coupon?
Yes. Rite Aid is tricky because most of their store/ad coupons say manufacturer coupons when in fact they are not. If the coupons start with RC4 then it is indeed a RITE AID coupon. Mod Edit: If the In-Ad coupon is a Rite Aid Manufacturer Coupon, it will start with “49”. The other In-Ad coupons are called “Valuable Coupons” and start with “48”. You may use either of these with a manufacturer’s coupon.
Does RA accept Internet printable coupons?
Yes, but the value of the coupon can not exceed $5.00
How do I sign up for RA printable coupons?
STEP ONE: https://www5.riteaid.com/myriteaid/login
STEP TWO: click on the “REGISTER NOW BUTTON”
STEP THREE: enter requested info
STEP FOUR: CHECK YOUR EMAIL that you used to sign up–there will be a link that says finish or complete registration–click that!
STEP FIVE: After clicking the link it will take you to log in–once you log in, it will take you to a page to where you can push the “print” button–make sure your printer is on.
STEP SIX: You do have the option under properties when you go to print–to change the quantity of copies you want. REMEMBER–YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO THESE ONCE PER EMAIL ADDRESS. If you already used an email address to access these “sign up” coupons……..you will NOT be able to use the same email address again.
These are RA coupons
Do I have to buy 2 (or more) of something to get the advertised sale price?
If it is just a sale price then no, you should be able to just purchase 1 or X amount. However if the SCR tells you that you need to purchase X amount then you need to purchase X amount to qualify for the SCR.
Does RA gives rainchecks for out-of-stock sale items?
Yes, they give rain checks. Make sure that they use the raincheck key on the register! Be sure to read raincheck 101 below.
What happens if the item that is out of stock is FAR or has an SCR? My store never gets the items back in stock before the end of the rebate period!
You can still receive your rebate after the SCR period. Be sure to read raincheck 101 below.
Is there a limit to how many receipts you can enter each month?
No. If you shop there 15 times that month, enter all 15 receipts.
FYI: If you create an account and enter your receipts ONLINE, RA will send an email to let you know when they have posted, as well as a reminder to request your check at the end of the month!
What’s so great about the RA rebates?
One check is nice. Yes, you do have to wait until the end of the month, but patience is a virtue!
Also, since they can be done online, you still have your original receipt available for any manufacturer’s rebates that might be out there. Double the money! Go here to enter your receipts online: https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/default.asp
My ad shows that there will be double rebates. Will I get double rebates for everything that month?
The double rebate is posted in the ad as double ONLY for the week and items for which they will apply, so if you buy that item during the double period, it will be a double rebate. If you buy it before or after, you are out of luck. These are SPECIFICALLY advertised as double SCRs.
Can I use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale?
RA policy states you can use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale however managers/cashiers may not be aware of this so YMMV
Can I use 2 coupons on a BOGO sale?
Yes. But be aware that the RA coupon policy does NOT allow for overage. If you use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale, both items are already free, so no other coupon may be used. You may however use 2 coupons for example that are both 1.00/1 on a BOGO sale, taking 2.00 off.
If there is a BOGO 50% sale, and I have a BOGO coupon, does the coupon cover the free item or the 50% item?
After reviewing Rite Aid’s official coupon policy, there does not appear to be an official way that Rite Aid accepts BOGO 50% off sales & BOGO free coupons. With that being said, our take is that, it is YMMV as to if your store gives the full price product for free or the 50% off item. Please check in advance with your store manager.
Do BOGO items count toward the SCR?
If the SCR says purchase X QUANTITY then YES the BOGO product will count toward the SCR.
If the SCR says purchase X DOLLARS worth then NO the BOGO will NOT contribute toward the SCR.
Will Rite Aid Price Match Prescriptions?
YES–even the 4.00 prescriptions at Wal-mart
Do I need to give the coupons in a particular order?
If you have a $/$$ coupon you would want to give that coupon first. Other than that, it is not like walgreens. The coupons do NOT need to be any particular order.
Do Rite Aid coupons works like Walgreen’s coupons where ONE coupon will give the discount for all qualifying products?
No. Rite Aid coupons do NOT work like Walgreen’s coupons. If you buy 3 products then you will need 3 Rite Aid coupons.
Can a Video Value coupon + Wellness coupon + an ad coupon be used on the same product?
As of 3/8/11 They may not if they both start with “49”. If an in ad coupon starts with “48” it may be combined with a VV + Wellness coupon.
WRONG: Video Value coupon + Wellness coupon + Ad Coupon on same item
WRONG: Video Value coupon + Wellness coupon on same item
RIGHT: Video Value coupon (49)+ Valuable In-Ad Coupon (48)
RIGHT: Wellness+ coupon + Ad Coupon
