Rite Aid - 1 check rebate?

[leahjade]

Anyone do this? There are a lot of deals in the circular this week and wondered if it's worth it or a hassle?

 

[meanser]

I do! And I thin it works great! You can register your receipt online and once a month you can submit for your rebate check which usually comes with 2 weeks.

Check out iheartriteaid.com for a $5 off $25 purchase which makes it a money maker to get the free items!

Good luck!

Thank you for mentioning that you have to actually submit a request for your check. I just signed up last month and entered my receipt and thougth that was all there was to it. If I hadn't seen your post about requesting the check, I never would have gotten my rebate. Thanks!

Yes, don't forget to request the check, but remember too you can only do it once/month!
(Eg you may have receipts from week 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the month... enter each in, then request it. If you request it week 1, you can't do weeks 2-4...)

It's pretty easy to do- love the entering online (and not clipping UPCs or any of that!) It may take a day or two for your receipt to be processed- don't worry!

No problem! Gald you were able to still request it!

Yes, and the best part is that you can still use coupons and send in the receipt for a mail in rebate! This month, I'm making money by shopping at Rite Aid. Here are my scenarios:

Transaction #1
10 boxes of Kelloggs cereal, $1.99 each, $5 back with SCR
Crest Pro-Health, $2.79, free after SCR
Natrol Probiotic, $8.99, free after SCR

I used coupons worth $12.75:
$.75 off Crest
$3.00 off Natrol
$4.00 off Zantac
$5.00 off $25 at Rite Aid

I'll get mail in rebates worth $10.00:
$10 from Kelloggs

Original total: $31.77
My total: I make $7.76

Transaction #2.
Zantac, $4.99, free after SCR
Coupon $3
Mail in rebate $5.00

Original total: $4.99
My total: I make $8.00

Transaction #3
Zyrtec, $18.99
12 Soy Joy bars, $8.40
Used $5/25
Used $4/1 Zyrtec
Total $20.15 inc. tax

Transaction #4
Zyrtec, $18.99
Sally Hansen nail polish, $1.12
Sally Hansen nail polish, 2 @ $1.24
EZ start packing tape, $1.49
Rite Aid brand Tums, $2.00
Used $5/25
Used $4/1 Zyrtec
Used 3 $1/1 Sally Hansen
Total $18.67 inc. tax

Transaction #5
Zyrtec, $18.99
Osteo Biflex BOGO $19.99/2
Used $4/1 Zyrtec
Used 2 $6.00 Osteo Biflex
Total $21.59 inc. tax

REBATES for #3-5:
$25 for spending $50 on Zyrtec
$10 from Rite Aid Zyrtec deal
$10 from Zyrtec rebate directly
$5 from Rite Aid

Plus, the 3 bottles of Zyrtec each had a $2 coupon good through 12/09.

At the end of the month, I will have MADE $11.35 for $139.08 in merchandise. It would be higher, but they were out of a few items I wanted, like a Gillette Venus razor with a $5 SCR, a $3 coupon and a $7 mail in rebate, that would have made another $1. Maybe they'll go on sale later in the month.

Even better, for all 5 transactions: I can get $76.42 reimbursed from my health savings account. (They accept photocopies of receipts.)

 

[leahjade]

wow, sounds great. I will have to check it out. What kind of cereal was $1.99?

 

[koima]

Kelloggs Apple Jacks, Rice Krispies, Corn Pops, and Jumbo Rice Krispies are the ones I got.

Also, the boxes had a mail in promo - send in 8 cut out labels and get a free Disney World disposable camera. It's going in DS's Christmas stocking.

Make sure you keep your receipt and double check that all your items are listed. Two different times I had an item not show up and i had to dispute it.

 

[leahjade]

Thanks, I went last night. I have a couple questions - can you only request your check once per calendar month? Is it one item per rebate per person?
I got a few of the items but some were sold out - I'll have to go earlier next time! Still better than Walgreen's where there items were sold out the day the sale started!
Also, wondering if anyone got the free camp bag for girls and how you go about getting it? Seems like a good deal if you can just buy any 3 makeup items!

 

[koima]

Yes, you can cash out your rebates once a month. Check the rebate booklet to find out the details of each specific promotion, but yes, it's usually one per person.

Look at your store for Sally Hansen nailpolish on clearance. There was a coupon in last Sunday's paper for $1 off, so I got three clearance nail polish for $.60 and will get the glam girl tote bag! You just enter your receipt online and it tells you a few days later when it has cleared and what rebates you're approved for.

So far this month, I'm getting $43.26 cash back, $5 gift card to Rite Aid, $5 Kellogg's coupon, $5 gift card for the vitamin program, $10 gift card to Rite Aid from Zyrtec. That's $68.26 that I'll get back just from entering my receipts online, plus the Glam Bag. I've spent $86.88 OOP so far this month, and those are JUST the Rite Aid rebates, not the additional mail in rebates.

 

[leahjade]

I saw the clearance Sally Hansen polish but didn't know if that would work since sometimes they don't ring up clearance merchandise with the UPC code, they just type it in manually. Guess I'll have to go back and check it out! Thanks I will definitely pay more attention to the Rite Aid circulars from now on!

 

[luvsmickeymouse]

I do this also. Usually I do the items that I end up getting free after coupons or rebates.

 

[leahjade]

Got my email from Rite Aid but the Loreal rebate is not listed - what do I do now? I would not have bought it if I knew I wouldn't get the rebate!

 

[Weluvdisny]

If you forget to order your rebate check, they will send you it to you automatically. I forgot to do it one month and they sent it to me anyway. I love SCR!!

If you haven't used it, take it back! I usually keep everthing in a bag until my rebate request is approved. I have been burned myself on a few things so I would take it back if I were you!
