New at Walgreens Starting 9/16: Balance Rewards Program (+ Million Points Giveaway)

If you haven’t heard, starting Sept 16th Walgreens will be rolling out a new program called Walgreens Balance Rewards. With Balance Rewards, you can earn points for your in-store and online Walgreens purchases that can be redeemed for cash. Points are earned through everyday purchases, plus Walgreens Balance Reward members will have access to sales and promotional pricing. Here are the basics:

Walgreens Balance Rewards in store and online beginning September 16.

• Save on sale items each week
• Earn points on thousands of items, including
  every prescription and immunization*²
• Get points when you Walk with Walgreens
• Redeem points for items you love

Earned Points are converted into Redemption Dollars in five (5) tiers:

(1) 5,000 points = $5
(2) 10,000 points =$10
(3) 18,000 points =$20
(4) 30,000 points =$35
(5) 40,000 points =$50

You can choose to either redeem your Walgreens Balance Rewards Points or continue saving Points to use on a future purchase. When you decide to redeem your Walgreens Balance Rewards Points, the Points will be converted into Redemption Dollars and the value of the Redemption Dollars will be deducted from the total price of your purchase. You can even download an app to help you keep track on the go!

After signing up it said I can just use my phone number to earn rewards (no card needed) As for now, it looks like Register Rewards will NOT be going away- just yet. But I have heard rumblings that they may be phased out eventually. So with the start of this new program there will no doubt be some learning curves for us all. If you have any questions, post them on the Facebook wall so we can help each other out! What are your overall thoughts?

PLUS, sign up before September 15th and you have a chance to win 1 MILLION Balance Reward Points!
