I got into an argument in a Facebook group about this, and I wanted to expand on it.
Wal*Mart does not accept Walgreen’s Register Rewards as a form of payment on your basket purchase. They accept OTHER Catalinas, like the ones that are good on a specific product. Like it says in their policy.
They don’t take the ones that say save $5 on your next purchase, courtesy of XYZ Company.
Here’s a Register Reward, taken from Google Images.
Here’s Wal*Mart’s own policy, screencapped for your convenience. Click on it to expand to full size. If that image that I have highlighted isn’t supposed to be a Register Reward, I’ll hang up my coupon scissors. See the “M”? It’s Walgreens’s “W” upside down.
Just because your favorite cashier does it for you, doesn’t make it okay.
Just because it scans at the register, doesn’t make it okay.
Just because YOU think it reads one way, doesn’t make it okay.
How else can I break it down for you?
Walgreens’s Register Rewards are not accepted at Wal*Mart, per their policy.
And if you keep misusing coupons there, don’t be surprised if they change their policy. Wal*Mart is not stupid.
*Edited to Add* I am a blunt person. I refuse to apologize for it. If you’re getting your feelings hurt by something I’ve written, maybe you need to step back away from the internet. Go visit Disney.com or something.

You go girl….I’m so tired of hearing someone does something like that…its coupon misuse.
I just want them to see that it’s wrong, and stop doing it before they really get strict again. Thanks for commenting!
Remember when the written policy at Safeway was written to accept other store catalina coupons. It took them less than a month to realize that mistake and refine the policy to state they would accept other stores catalina coupons for an actual product, not the oynso. I suspect it is just a matter of time before Walmart corporate catches up and revises to add it to the written part more clearly
Of course, but then these same women will blame someone or something else. Not the fact that they themselves were being irresponsible.
Companies, especially Walmart, are not stupid.
