Rite Aid Singe Check Rebates

Rite Aid has a great reward program, but it is much different than Walgreens and CVS in that, rather than printing out instant rewards, theirs is an actual rebate program. Here is an explanation. 
  1. First things first: You need to sign up for an SCR account on their website.
  2. Go shopping! Pay special attention to the items in the circular that have SCRs. They also have a catalog of monthly SCRs. (Be aware that the Rite Aids in our area put up the signs for the next week’s sale on Saturday. Be sure to look at the sign when you get your SCR-earning item. If you buy it before the sale actually starts, you WILL NOT earn the SCRs on it, and you will be making another trip to Rite Aid to return it and purchase it again). Be sure to use coupons, but be aware that your OOP will probably be more than you are used to at drugstores.
  3. Go home, log into your SCR account, and enter all of the applicable receipt info (date, store #, register #, and transaction #). They will figure out all of your SCR-eligible items for you (this takes 2-4 business days). (You have all month to enter receipts for that month, so don’t panic if it is 11:59 on Saturday night and you forgot to do it).
  4. You will be able to see in your account how many SCRs you have earned for that period. Once a month (and only once!), you can request your rebates. They come in the form of a check addressed to you. You can either deposit this check or use it like cash on your next visit. Because this check is usually pretty large (if you do a lot of shopping at Rite Aid), you will be starting your next transaction with some serious Rite Aid currency- and trust me, THAT will be a fun trip!
  5. You can always use store coupons, ManQs, open-ended coupons, and SCRs on one transaction. Because of this, your actual OOP will be very low.
  6. Because of the nature of this program, you will not be “rolling” your transactions. This means that you only have to do one (unless you have more than one open-ended coupon you would like to use). This makes Rite-Aid a great place to start if you are nervous about “scenarios”.
