Walgreens: Theraflu Register Reward Deal Update + Warning on the Oral-B & Fusion Razors!


A few Walgreens Deals & Updates:

It looks like the print limit for the $2/1 Theraflu coupon has been reached. On a positive note, though, the Theraflu Register Reward deal is even better then expected! Sarah & Jayna both emailed to let me know they purchased 3 Theraflu and received an $8 Register Reward--which is way better than purchasing 2 and receiving a $4 Register Reward!

Deal scenario:
Buy 3 Theraflu Nighttime 6 ct. $4 each=$12
Use the $2/1 Walgreens coupon from the Health Savings booklet
(will deduct $6 for purchasing three)
Pay $6
Get back an $8 Register Reward
Final cost 3 for FREE + a $2 moneymaker!

**If you were able to print the $2/1 coupons, then this will be an even bigger moneymaker!
**********************************

Also, I wanted to give you all a heads up on the Walgreens Oral-B Register Reward deal. Here's a recap of the deal:

Oral-B Advantage 1-2-3 Toothbrush $3=$3RR
Use the $0.75/1 coupon from the 9/27PG
Final cost FREE + a $0.75 moneymaker!

Well, I've heard reports from a few readers now that the Oral-B toothbrushes are not generating a $3 Register Reward. I guess their system was not programed correctly for this deal. Anyway, I have heard that Walgreens corporate is aware of the problem, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Another Register Reward deal update is on the Fusion razors. The Fusion razors in the orange packaging are NOT generating the $6RR, so do not purchase those. The Fusion razors that are generating the Register Reward are in a blue package. (Thanks, Kelly!)

Make sure you get the MVP razors, I went to our walgreens this morning and they did not have any and are hoping to have some Wednesday but I had to ask about them so make sure the package says MVP on the side.

the oral B's that do not ring up are given a price of one cent and then that one cent is takenn off another item so it is still free.

The Walgreens manager in my favorite store gave me a raincheck for the Oral B toothbrush RR and immediately took $3.00 off of my next transaction. She was very kind and helpful even after the Fusion incident. The cashiers at this store always are kind and willing to try any and all coupons.

Courtney said...

My store only had the Oral B that came with a free toothbrush and it didnt print the rewards. The key holder said its bc i have to get whats pictured. Just the single toothbrush. Even though this was the one it just came with another free one.

The RR's didn't print for the OralB, Fusion MVP Power, or the Herbal Essence for me this morning but they were aware of the problem and gave me a gift card for my trouble. Do they track what the GC is for in the system? If I use the GC and do this same deal again will I get the RR's?

Michele said...

I purchased the Oral B TB and my register reward printed with no problem. I didn't use the .75 off coupon though. Maybe that is the difference.

Amy said...

I got the Herbal Essence RR... did the deal about 7 times today so far between 2 different stores.

Oral B did not print and I only got the single one exactly like prictured. The manager just ran up a Chapstick and gave me that RR since it was also $3.

I got 5 Fusion MVP razors today and all of them got the RR. You have to make sure it says MVP on it.

Anonymous said...

I didn't have any problems with any RR printing out today, but I did grab the wrong razors and had to have her void the sale so I could go back and grab the MVP ones.

Anonymous said...

In my experience, they do not keep track of the gift cards, so you can use the gc to do the scenario and it will still print up the RR. I always like it better when the RR don't print out and they give me the gift cards

The Theraflu deal is super awesome! I have so much medicine to last me the rest of the flu season + to donate!

I can't believe I paid full price for this stuff before! :YIKES:

I bought the Venus Spa Breeze and did not get a RR. I will be returning it tomorrow.

Nichole said...

When I went to the register they told me the oral b was not ringing up but the cosmetic lady said she was not having a problem on her register so I went over there and they printed just fine.

Meredith said...

Last week I had this problem with the oral b indicators-we finally figured out the the size 40 heads were the only ones that were printing the register rewards and the size 60 heads were not. Don't know-but that could be the problem. Also the fuzion and herbal essences worked for me today.

our store was out of the right men's razors, and we didn't know we had the wrong one till it was rung up... the cashier refunded the whole price (8.99) even though we'd used a coupon! So we got 4 bucks for our trouble!

Anonymous said...

Does anyone in the DC area know if we got the Oral B coupon? I'm hoping I'm just not seeing it, but I've looked a zillion times! TIA.

If you haven't already shopped, yet, try to wait until Tuesday. That way, you can use the $5/$25 Q to make the deals better!!!

Jolon said...

FYI I tried the buy 3 Theraflu get $8 RR and it did NOT work... I just got a $4 RR. (I'm in West Michigan)

Anonymous said...

Strange. I got the Oral B toothbrush around 3PM today, and I did get the register reward.

Ali Smith said...

I'm in Idaho and had no problem with the Oral B. As for the razors, two of the stores I went to had them hiding! They were not with all of the other razors, so I thought they were out, but then as I was getting rung up at the cosmetics counter, I saw them down below the counter. They had a bunch! I went back to the previous store and they had them in the same place. So, be sure to check there!

Angie said...

Does it say that Theraflu is on sale in your add? I did a price check on one today (like the one pictured) and it was 5.99. ???

Kelley said...

Angie,
The add does show it on sale. My store also had not put out the tag on the counter, but it rang up just fine.

Michelle M said...

So is 3 Theraflu working for you guys to get $8 RR? Do you have to buy this certain Nighttime 6 ct for it to work?

Nichole said...

That is what I meant to ask, is there a special Theraflu you have to purchase?

The Sorenson's said...

What does it mean when it says "final cost free + $1 money maker"? Does that mean a dollar comes off another item purchased? so on those items should you be buying more than one item to get the dollar off? Can you please help me understand that? thanks!

Michelle M said...

The free plus money-maker means that you will get back more money than you put into the transaction, so if you spend $5 after coupons, and get back a $6 RR, that is called a $1 money-maker. You do not need to fill more items in order to get this savings because it's money that you will save on your next purchase.

I found a display with my Theraflu (back by the pharmacy area) and it is a month long deal (ends 10/31) It is buy 1 get a $2 RR (I think I didn't pay that close attention to that part because I had planned on buying 2 until I read the rest of the display, LOL) buy 2 get a $4 RR and buy 3 get a $8 RR. PLUS mine had bonus packs on the liquid and the packets and the RR works just fine. (I bought the liquids) The problem I had was that the Walgreens coupon from the Healthy savings book would not scan no matter what! We tried every which way to try to get it to scan on the liquid non bonus pack, on the packets, nothing would work so the manager ended up price adjusting the theraflu to $2 each instead and the $8 RR still printed out! I did not check the oral B so now I am going to go find out to make sure I got mine. I had soooo many I did not go through them all I just checked for the Theraflu to be sure it worked since we price adjusted it. I hope that helps some of you. My razors, lotion and chapstick were already wiped out. :( I will check another store tomorrow. I will also check the cosmetics counter for the razors. Often some of my stores will display them there, but not this one.

The Oral B toothbrush RR printed for me this morning (UPC 300416681290). I have question about the Theraflu...my area gets the short ad and the Theraflu deal was not advertised. Has anyone tried buying to see if the RR still prints even if it isn't advertised. I've heard that RRs print nationwide despite regional ads, but the item may not be on sale, and so it may not be free after RR. But, with this one being such a money maker, we still might be able to get it for free, even if it is priced higher. I wanted to try it this morning, but I knew the employees working this morning are not very friendly or helpful so I didn't want to risk it.

Tiffany said...

Ours didn't have the MVP razors. They did tell me right away about the toothbrushes so I decided not to bother with it...I have enough free ones already!

KellyG said...

Theraflu deal isn't working in Colorado as of last night. Both the box packet kind and the liquid bottles are ringing up $5.99 each.

Anonymous said...

I received my Oral B RRs. But I only got 1 RR for buying 2 Theraflus. I was in a Walgreens in Peoria, AZ around 10 am - they were having some serious cash register problems. RRs weren't printing at all and their computer system froze - in the middle of my transaction!

I read that the MVP razor is rolling, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Rach said...

MVP razor is rolling...as are all of the P&G (so just herbal essences) as of today...

Also, if your RRs are not printing, you either have the WRONG item, OR, you used a RR that is the same brand. For example, you can't use a chapstick RR to buy a chapstick again and expect to get a RR (except for the ones I mention above that are currently rolling)

For the thermaflu, it worked great for me. Make sure to get the NIGHT TIME or it won't work.

Rach said...

oh and it won't print for the oral b toothbrush as there is a glitch in the system...but maybe that is fixed now? I got a gift card in it's place.

Anonymous said...

Rolling as in buy the MVP razor get $6RR use the $6RR to then buy the same razor again, and it spits out another $6 RR.

Anonymous said...

I can confirm the MVP razor is rolling!

I went out and tried it tonight. You can use the $6RR that you get to then pay for another one and another $6RR will print.

Don't know how long it will last b/ hopefully through tomorrow.

Hi, I have a Q with Wags couponing.
I plan to buy Claritin which is $19.99 each and get back 3RR.Can I use Healthy Saving booklet $3 coupon to stack with my Sunday insert $4 coupon?

Anonymous said...

Kelly, I am in Colorado too and have not seen the Theraflu everyone is talking about listed for $4. I am so annoyed we are not getting this same GREAT deal....maybe later this month????
