Rite Aid – Coupon Acceptance
To Our Valued Customers:
Rite Aid gladly accepts the following coupon types as detailed in the coupon acceptance guidelines listed below:
COUPON TYPES:
Manufacturer Coupons
- Manufacturer coupons are found in newspapers, magazines and even affixed to products. The UPC on these coupons begins with a “5.”
Rite Aid Manufacturer Coupons
- Rite Aid Manufacturer coupons generally appear in our weekly circular, on our website and are sent to customers via e-mail. These coupons are labeled “manufacturer coupon” and have a UPC that begins with “49.”
Rite Aid Valuable Coupons
- Rite Aid coupons are labeled “variable coupon” and have a UPC that begins with “48.”
Internet/Print at Home coupons
- Rite Aid will accept Internet/print at home coupons up to the equivalent value of $5.00 off.
- A Rite Aid coupon (with the Rite Aid logo) is NOT considered an Internet coupon (even if printed off the Internet) and is therefore not subject to the $5.00 maximum.
+UP Reward Coupons
- +UP Reward coupons are special coupons earned by a customer in a prior purchase that can be used for any nonprescription purchase with a small number of exclusions that are listed on the +UP coupon. Multiple +UP coupons can be used (subject to the printed exclusions) up to the amount of purchase before sales tax.
Buy One, Get One Free
- We accept two coupons for the purchase of two items that are on Buy One, Get One Free Promotion.
- We accept a Buy One, Get One Free Coupon with an item that is in our flyer as Buy One, Get One Free, meaning both items are free. The cash register will compute any sales tax due, which varies by state law.
Total Purchase Coupons
- Rite Aid may feature total purchase coupons which discount the total purchase amount based upon meeting specific requirements. For example, $5 off a $25 purchase price threshold coupon.
- These coupons are accepted under the following conditions:
o The coupon is valid and in date; only one total purchase coupon per transaction.
o Total purchase equals or exceeds $25 before tax (before any coupons are applied).
o Coupons for individual items can also be used including another “48” coupon that is tied to an item in the transaction.
o Provided the total of items purchased is equal to or greater than the purchase requirement, other coupons can be used in conjunction with the total purchase coupon.
ACCEPTANCE GUIDELINES:
General Guidelines:
- Coupons must be valid and in date; Coupons cannot be exchanged for cash.
- Register will validate coupon through scanning or keyed entry of the coupon UPC number.
- In the event that any item’s selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Rite Aid will accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is allowed.
- When making a return for a product that had a coupon attached, Rite Aid cannot refund cash for the value of the coupon and cannot return the coupon that was used.

- Rite Aid may accept multiple identical coupons for multiple qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers within the store manager’s sole discretion.
Thanks for responding Katarina 🙂 I did verify with RA Corporate that this policy is correct but Im having problems with the regional office in my area. They are saying that this copy of guidelines is incorrect. My issue is with the general guidelines. My local Rite Aids are saying that a coupon can only be slightly reduced by a few cents in “their copy” of guidelines. I need advice on how to address this issue because it has put a cramp in my couponing. They are not very helpful and insist that I have an incorrect copy of their guidelines. I tried to tell them that I verified with corporate customer service and they basically said their just telephone operators and know nothing. I have requested a copy of the guidelines be sent to me from customer service but I don’t know how much that will help me.
Hey I was just wondering if you could give me the link on the rite aid website where I can find their coupon policy. I had a concern and spoke to a store manager that told me something different than this policy and I would like to get to the bottom of it since its one of the only stores I can shop at and its a pretty big deal to me. I live in california and have soooo many problems using coupons.
Hi Margaret, This coupon policy was emailed directly to me from a Rite Aid representative and has not been revised since then (aug 2010). You may want to contact RA Corporate to have one emailed to you directly, showing it’s from corporate.
