Rite Aid has always been more coupon friendly and has given me much better customer service than Walgreens, so first thing you need to know is that the cashiers are always so willing to answer your questions. Remember that if you are confused or frustrated about something always keep a cheery disposition and you'll get much better results.
Rite Aid had a lot more going on than Walgreens does and a lot more benefits to help you save money. First they have Up Rewards, they work a lot like Register Rewards so we won't go into that now. Their coupon policy is SUPER awesome and I personally need to take advantage of that more. They also offer Gift Card promotions throughout the year, and have a wellness Program. I'll go into detail about their coupon policy, up rewards, and the wellness program at a later date.
One of the big differences that can make Rite Aid so much more confusing that Walgreens is their Video Values.
Video Values are on-line store coupons that you can print from your computer only after you've watched a video about the featured product. First, you'll need to go to RiteAid.Com.
Helpful Hint: Rite Aid Video Values don't work properly on Firefox web browser, you will be better off opening Internet Explorer to make sure you don't waste your time.
Once you are at their website, you'll need to register. Once you are logged into your account, you will scroll down to the bottom of the page:
On the bottom left hand side you'll see the "Save Now" box.
The very last option in the "Save Now" box is the link to your video values. Once you click on it, your page will look something like this:
Click on the category your coupon will be in. You'll need to scroll through the different videos to find the product you want. You have to watch the entire video without looking at other pages (clicking away from the video will pause it). Don't worry, the videos aren't too long. Most are between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Once the video is done you will be prompted to enter a validation code:
Enter this code to earn credit for watching the video, or you'll have to watch it again. You only have 30 seconds to enter it, so make sure you're paying attention while watching.After you watch all the videos you want to, and when you are ready to print the coupons out, you can find a link at the top of the page that says "All Rewards" (you must be signed in to your account to see this button). Once you've clicked the link to your rewards, you will be taken to a page that looks like this:
- all rewards link
- your name (you'll know you are logged in)
- select the coupons you want to print
- print your selected coupons
After you've printed these coupons off, you can then stack that coupon with a manufacturer's coupon and save even more money!
I hope this helps explain the video values a bit. Keep watching for the rest of the Rite Aid Explained posts later on.
Happy Savings!
