How the Walgreens Rewards Program Works
You should use your Walgreens Balance Rewards card every time you shop at any Walgreens location. You will also be entitled to exclusive sales prices. Each week, there will be points offered on many items, so always look for points in the weekly ad. When you reach the points earned milestones, you can redeem your Balance Rewards points.
So for 5,000 points earned you will receive $5 rewards. This can be used as store cash.
10,000 points = $10 rewards
18,000 = $20 rewards
30,000 = $35 rewards
40,000 = $50 Rewards
You can get the printed details at any Walgreens location. Points do expire 36 months from the day you earn them, so keep an eye on your dates of purchase so you don’t lose out on the points you’ve earned.
People often struggle with how to budget money, just imagine having an extra $5-$50 when shopping, it makes budgeting and cheap living much more simple.
You can also get 500 points for every prescription and immunization. You can set up auto-refills online to earn points. Some states have different prescription rules as in AR, NJ, and NY. Check for full Balance Rewards rules at www.walgreens.com
