I really do hate to be the bearer of bad news. There have been some updates to Rite Aid’s Coupon Policy and one of them is kinda shocking. Here is in my opinion the wort change:
Buy One Get One Free coupons cannot be used in conjunction with a Buy One Get One Free promotion.
This means no more Free Items when combining a buy one get one sale with a buy one get one free coupon.
Another change:
Rite Aid may accept up to 4 identical coupons for the same number of qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers within the store manager’s sole discretion.
This is not a “bad” change per se as limits help protect us from shelf clearers. The last change:
A customer can use one “cents off” coupon in conjunction with the item they are purchasing on a Buy One Get One Free promotion (or with a Buy One Get One Free coupon), although the value of the cents off coupon cannot exceed the selling price of the item.
So, no more using two coupons when an something is on sale buy one get one free. I do not understand why they are saying they won’t accept a cents off coupon that exceeded the selling item of the price since they get reimbursed the full amount from the manufacturer.
While I understand that Rite Aid is a Business Enterprise and they are in it to make money, that last change makes the least sense to me. Because it is actually discouraging sales. Imposing limits is not necessarily bad nowadays since there is so many people hunting deals. Limits can be good in ensuring everyone can take advantage of a deal or offer.
How will this change the way you shop at Rite Aid?
