WE DO NOT WANT THE NEW PROGRAM TO REPLACE REGISTER REWARDS.

Walgreens's new program is in beta in select markets.

How the beta program work:
You earn 300 points for every 90-day eligible prescription you fill. For all other items you earn 10 points for every $1 you spend.

Meaning:
(2000 points for a $5.00 Walgreens gift certificate, 3000 points for Amazon and other gift cards, etc.)

*When we spend $1.99, it rounds down to 19 points NOT up to 20 . (According to Walgreens insider)
Question about program
1.How do coupons affect the total spent? Theoretically, you should get points on the total *before* coupons, but we'll have to test that out.

According to those in the test area- account not confirmed by Walgreens:

I live in Portland and today was told that the RR are done at the end of the month. The points are replacing it. The ad I got this morning had a wrap-around part that talked about the new program and it said that members only pricing was starting May 30th. I am bummed, but it is their store and their choice. It seems that they are making a lot of items worth more points (not just 10 per dollar)- for example, the Aleve that has a $2 RR in other areas does not have a RR in my ad. It has 400 bonus points for buying it. Other items have 2x the points or 3x the points. I hope that they will give a lot of bonus points for the items that we used to get RR for. I am not sure how much I will be shopping there because the RR allowed me to spend very little OOP. I can not afford to spend much OOP just to get points. -Annette on Hip2save

Here is a sample of the new program in an ad:
