Calling all Walgreens shoppers! On Sunday 4/24, Walgreens introduced some changes into their Balance Rewards Program. The change every Walgreens shopper will be interested in is this – you can now earn and redeem Balance Rewards Points in the same transaction, sweet! 🙂
Note that this is true for unit offers only (buy two select products get back 1,000 Balance Rewards Points); BUT you cannot earn and redeem points in the same transaction for threshold offers (spend $20 get back 10,000 Balance Rewards Points). We checked if this is true at a Walgreens store and it’s working! Here’s the receipt for our Hallmark Cards deal:
So, here’s a summary of what has changed:
- You will earn and redeem Balance Rewards Points in the same transaction for unit offers.
- You will earn and redeem Balance Rewards Points in the same transaction when paying with store credit.
- You will not earn and redeem Balance Rewards Points in the same transaction for threshold offers.
- You will not earn EveryDay Points when you pay using Balance Rewards Points or store credit. For example, if you buy $10 in products and pay for half using your Balance Rewards Points, you will earn EveryDay Points on the other half of the total only.
This is great news for couponers, as we’ll be able to use our Balance Rewards Points more freely and more creatively! 🙂 What do you think about these changes?

About time. I’ve been wanting them to do that for long time. I always save my points and redeem $50 worth every time. Comes in handy when u r short on cash toward end of month.
Hey Eve. I’m so excited for this change. It’s going to be amazing. I have a lot of points saved up as well. 🙂
Thank you nice loved
You’re very welcome. I’m very excited for this change. 🙂
