Rite Aid: +UP Reward Program
Recently Rite Aid introduced a new program called the +UP Reward program. If you shop at CVS, the program appears to be a lot like the CVS ECB’s program. Here’s how it works:
- Each week, Rite Aid lists items in the ad that qualify for +UP Rewards. There should also be a shelf tag next to the item specifying the +UP Reward (similar to the SCR tags).
- You will need to use your Wellness+ card to get the +UP Reward (and to redeem the reward).
- The +UP Reward will print on the bottom of your receipt (see picture above) when you purchase the specific item/quantity. Most of the time, you do need to purchase all the items in one transaction to qualify for the +UP Reward.
- You can use your +UP Reward to pay for your next purchase. They will not adjust the reward down and there is no overage allowed, so you will need to purchase filler items to avoid overage.
- The +UP Rewards will roll. Meaning, you could use the Old Spice +UP Reward to purchase more Old Spice and still receive another +UP Reward.
- Rite Aid specifies a +UP Reward limit for select items in the ad. Other items may have a “hidden” limit where the +UP Rewards just stop printing after you’ve hit the limit. Plus, your store may impose it’s own limit.
- Most +UP Rewards expire 2 weeks from the last day of the sale (Saturday). So, if you shop towards the beginning of the week, you have almost 3 weeks to use your +UP Reward.

Thanks for the info– just to clarify, if I buy an item that has an UP reward and go back later in the week to do it again (same product) with the same card, will I get the UP reward printed a second time?
Thanks again!
As far as I know, the system is set up so that only 1 +UP Reward “should” print out per card. However, I’ve heard reports this week of people getting more than 1 Garnier Skin Care +UP Reward.
Sounds good, I might try to press my luck with the diapers that are on sale. We’ll see! Thanks!
If you haven’t tried it already for the diapers, I read online that someone did get 2 +UP Rewards with the diaper deal. I hope it works for you!
I’m hoping so also!
Thank you!
It did work! I’m loving the cheap diapers! I may have to go back tomorrow!
Thank you for all of this wonderful information! I have a question on using the UP Reward: Will they automatically (once they swipe your wellness card) use the amount you have on your next purchase or do you have to request it?
The +UP Reward prints out on the bottom of your receipt when you earn it. When you use it on your next transaction, you will hand them the +UP Reward like you would a coupon, and they will scan it.
Thanks! I’m so new at all of this. Thank you for your QUICK response, too!
Q about Rite aid – can I use UP rewards and Rite aid survey coupons (take this survey and $3 off $15 purchase) in the same transaction? Thanks so much!
Yes, you can use the survey coupon and +UP Rewards in the same transaction.
What does this mean?
You can use your +UP Reward to pay for your next purchase. They will not adjust the reward down and there is no overage allowed, so you will need to purchase filler items to avoid overage.
You need to make sure that your total (before tax) is equal to or more than all the coupons and +UP Rewards that you give to the cashier, since Rite Aid does not allow you to get money back. Since I wrote this tutorial, however, I have heard of instances where the cashier will adjust the coupon value down for you. If you think you might get overage, then add a small low-priced item to your order to avoid it.
Thanks. I never considered having enough coupons and rewards to have the WHOLE purchase covered!! I’m looking forward to when I’ll be “experienced” enough to do that!!
This week, there is a deal on the Hydro Razors….there is a limit of 4 +UP rewards on these. I still have two available to me. Can I purchase the two razors in one transaction and receive both +UPS?
so i have a question about the UP rewards . lets say you myst buy 30$ worth of stuff to get a 10$ up reward. if the product is 5.99$ and i buy 6 i will be a few cents short . will my up reward still print ?
From what I understand, it should still print even if you are a few cents short.
Can I use two up rewards in the same transaction?
Yes, you can.
