Rite Aid – Coupon Acceptance
To Our Valued Customers:
Rite Aid gladly accepts manufacturer coupons, Rite Aid coupons and certain Internet/Print at Home coupons in all stores as detailed in these coupon acceptance guidelines:
GUIDELINES: Multiple Coupons Rite Aid accepts manufacturer coupons and Rite Aid coupons for the purchase of a single item. However, no coupon’s redemption amount can ever exceed the price of the item. Only one manufacturer coupon is accepted for each product, unless coupled with another manufacturer coupon found in a Rite Aid circular. Rite Aid may accept multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers within the store manager’s sole discretion. Rite Aid reserves the right to limit bulk purchases of items if the purchase will deplete our supply for other customers. Buy One, Get One Free Coupons When items are featured on a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the item being purchased. If a customer presents a Buy One Get One Free coupon for the purchase of two items that are on a Buy One Get One Free promotion; we accept the coupon, essentially making both items free. Be advised that the cash register will compute any sales tax due, which sales tax varies and is defined by applicable state law. Internet/Print at Home Coupons Rite Aid only accepts coupons printed off the internet from manufacturer’s websites, emails and coupon websites up to a maximum of $5.00 off per item as long as the coupon redemption amount never exceeds the price of the item. Rite Aid coupons are not considered internet/print at home coupons, even when they are printed from an internet site or an email, and therefore these coupons only are not subject to the $5.00 limit. Total Purchase Coupons From time to time, Rite Aid may feature total purchase coupons which discount the total purchase amount based upon meeting specific requirements. For example, $5 off a $25 purchase price threshold coupon. Any manufacturer coupons that may be presented with a total purchase coupon will be deducted after the purchase total has been determined. Rite Aid may accept more than one total purchase coupon as long as each total purchase coupon is used in separate transactions with each transaction meeting the minimum purchase requirements. Rite Aid reserves the right to limit the number of total purchase coupons that may be used by a customer in a single day. Sale Items Rite Aid will accept coupons for an item that is on saleIn the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Rite Aid will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons. General Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash Competitor coupons are never accepted at Rite Aid.
update 10/23/09:i still had some questions about the policy, which i sent to Mr. Harkreader from rite aid public relations. here are the answers I received...
download / print "Only one manufacturer coupon is accepted for each product, unless coupled with another manufacturer coupon found in a Rite Aid circular."
Q:What about combining a manufacturer's coupon with a Rite Aid coupon printed online? (for example, the video values coupons)
A: The video values coupons are considered Rite Aid coupons and, thus, may be combined as you propose.
"Any manufacturer coupons that may be presented with a total purchase coupon will be deducted after the purchase total has been determined."
Q: What about other Rite Aid coupons? If I had $25 worth of merchandise, could I use a $5 off $25 coupon and a $3 rite aid coupon? Or would I have to have $28 worth of merchandise in order to use both?
A: The distinction you make between manufacturer and Rite Aid doesn’t matter, so long as the disclaimers on the coupons themselves are followed (some of the total purchase price coupons cannot be combined with others of the same category, and they say as much right on them). In your example, since coupons are taken AFTER the purchase price has been determined, it matters not they take the price below the required threshold (in your example, if the $3 product coupon took the purchase total down to $22, it wouldn’t matter because the $25 was determined prior to this coupon).
"Rite Aid will accept coupons for an item that is on sale."
Q: What about items that are free after single check rebate? (Sometimes Rite Aid cashiers tell us we cannot use a coupon on an item because it is free after rebate.)
A: Yes. The Single Check Rebates program is an entirely separate program and does not impact on what coupons will or will not be accepted (see monthly Single Check Rebates directory for questions/restrictions on this program).
