Hi there,

I wanted to take advantage of a points offer B20 g5000 on select health products. Specifically I want to buy 2 packages of children's chewable allegra, which are prices at 9.99 each. So the total would only be 19.98. Walgreens doesn't have a 98% rule like CVS right? so my scenario won't work that well unless I could find something extremely cheap to bump me over the edge? Thanks for the help

Unlike CVS with the 98% rule and you get your ECBs, WAG does NOT have that. If you lack a penny to reach the required threshold, you won't get your reward.

this is what many are complaining about WAG's mark ups the end in .99 for those offers where we need to reach a certain threshold. Such prices leave us lacking a penny or two so you need other items in the category if you want to get the reward. If you buy another item, you end up spending more.

I don't buy those items UNLESS I have high face value coupons (or free coupon homemailers) and IVCs to stack to make the items cheap/free and I still earn the rewards.

I figured that was how WAGS did it, thank you for responding to my post! I wish wags would change this because 2 pennys off should be close enough!

I have the 7RR from tricalm and 3/1 Allegra x 2, which would have made it $7 w/5000 back which isn't too bad for 60 kids chewable allergy pills. I know I'd need a filler anyways but unless I can find a cheap one that qualifies what's the point?
anyways, thanks again
