Walgreens is sponsoring a promotion for Wyeth in which you buy 4 items (brands like Advil, Dimetapp, Robitussin, Alavert, Centrum, etc) and get a $100 Spa rewards certificate. You seriously get $100 of spa services just for buying four items in a single transaction. Better yet, a bunch of the items will be on sale next week!! Below is the link for more information.

http://www.walgreenssparewards.com/ (http://slickdeals.net/?sduid=204770&t=629740&u2=http://www.walgreenssparewards.com/)

* The promotion is for October and November.
* You can only use $100 per spa visit and it only applies to spa services (you pay tax, tip, merchandise, etc).
* Certificates must be used by March 1, 2008.
* Spa Certificates are redeemed using the Easy Saver catalog.
* Save the Proofs of Purchase as you will need to send those in too.
* There is no limit on how many spa certificates you can get, HOWEVER, you are only allowed to submit the receipt for one transaction per month. If you have two items in that transaction, you will get $50...if you have 4 items in that transaction, you will get $100...if you have eight items in that transaction, you will get $200...if you have sixteen items in that transaction, you will get $400. And on and on.

Offer expires 11/24/2007.
Offer available only in Walgreens Stores for purchase made in one transaction.
See Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog for offer submission form.
SpaRewards are rebates on spa services only.
Maximum rebate per spa visit is $100.
Spa Rewards certificates contain complete booking information including a toll free telephone
number to plan your spa visit and services.
Spa visits must be completed by March 1, 2008.
Limit one per month per household. (Thanks Malyshka)

IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH SPA REWARDS 800 NUMBER --

Call Walgreens Customer Service and they will connect you with the Wyeth buyer ... Walgreens is aware of MAJOR issues ...
The more people who call to complain, the quicker we will get this resolved!!!!

Consumer Relations Contact Information
Phone: toll-free 800-925-4733
7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday thru Friday

The number for Walgreens corporate is 847-914-2704. This is the number I was referred to after speaking with the Consumer Relations people above.

If you are having trouble getting through on the Spa Rewards line try calling R&M Marketing's main phone # at 800-380-7692. Try to speak to Karen or Jack, they are both supervisors and have the ability to call WHILE YOU STAY ON HOLD to order your gift cards if you've already attempted to get spas approved and have been unsuccessful. It's important to be nice, but you will also have to be firm.

For anyone interested in paying out of pocket in advance: per Karen at R&M you can go ahead and book any spa you want, go to your appointment, keep the receipts and mail to the following address for reimbursement. She claimed many customers have taken advantage of this.

Wyeth/Walgreens Spa Rewards
PO Box 614
Lebanon, NJ 08833

She said the 'no more than $100/day' still applied but that they'd then send out reimbursement checks. This would be at your own risk as we have nothing in writing about that offer, nor can anyone guarantee you'd be reimbursed.

For anyone who has not received their certificates yet that's not a Spa Rewards issue, that's a Walgreens Easy Saver issue. The # to call is the Walgreens Easy Saver Customer Service line at 888-324-3028.

WARNING: The Walgreens Easy Saver catalog link at the beginning of this thread is an October issue. If you used the form from this issue with a November receipt Walgreens will SHUT YOU DOWN, i.e., your rebate is invalid because you sent in the page from the wrong month of Easy Saver catalog. :mad:

INFO (POST MAILING) -

CHECK ON REBATE:
Once you get the "Reference Number" from the rebate status (https://www.web-rebates.com/walgreens/), plug it in HERE (http://slickdeals.net/?sduid=204676&t=&u2=https://www.web-rebates.com/default.asp?_submit=true&TrackingID=).
And you can get a little more information about how many certificates you're getting.

SCHEDULE SPA:
1-800-742-8735


Call the number to get your spa of choice pre-approved long before you get your certificates. That way you stand a fighting chance of actually being able to use the certificates before they expire.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[B]DATED INFO -

No limit per address, so far!!
UPCS are not necessary!
All items must be purchased in one transaction!Questions

WTF is this?
Buy 4 items, get $100 towards a spa visit. Link
What spas?
Lots, but NV has been excluded along with one other state. Check to see if yours is listed before continuing. Link
Then what happens?
You'll be waiting 6 to 8 weeks, just to stress you out. But after that, you'll get a certificate for your $100 (for 4 items). You call an 800-number listed on the certificate to schedule your appointment.
Cool! How long do I have to make my appointment?
Until April 15th, 2008 (Old date was March 1st, 2008)
So... How many can I do?
There seems to be no limit. Just multiple of four for each $100.
What's the catch here?
Haven't really found one yet. The old offer was that the spa certificate used to only work for 25% of the bill. That "fine print" seems to have been removed for this offer. You may only use $100 towards your spa visit. So, if you have 10, you'll have to make 10 visits to the spa. Yeah, so there's your deal breaker...

Good info, thanks!

[stylingal]

This sounds really good! Is there a seperate website where we can see participating spas or is this for any spa?
Ok, so what are the best (most inexpensive) items to buy?

[milko]

This sounds really good.
Ok, so what are the best (most inexpensive) items to buy?

^would like to know too.

[kcb]

Would like to know which spas first. Some are so high end, that $100 wouldn't go far for their smallest package.

[ilrodoowle]

Heres the link to the whole list of products:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/rebateclub2.jsp?OFFERNUMBER=51

This deal is awesome!

[taternutz]

If you sign up here you can print out coupons for these products. Most are for $1.

http://www.wyeth.com/specialoffers

enjoy!

[namedcal]

it says Maximum rebate per spa visit is $100. im wondering if we get a $100 certificate towards a spa purchase, or a $100 rebate for spa purchase. for example of the latter, spend $150, pay tax and tip on $150, send in $100 rebate w/ receipt, get $100 back in mail 6-8 weeks later.

[jess1228]

Here is the spa locator for this promotion:

http://walgreenssparewards.com/spa_locator.cfm

[STPATTY3172000]

So according to the websites participating products, you could buy 4 of these:

Here's a link to print coupons, it says excludes cough drops, but I'm going to try it anyway.

https://j.ovm1.net/wch1/universalreg/Registration.aspx?reg=true&product=ro&c=1253&s=01&p=ROB06001


and get the GC. NICE!!!


Update:

I went last night and had NO problems using the above coupon on the cough drops. OOP $2.00 for a $100.00 GC?! NICE!!!

[krys091]

it says Maximum rebate per spa visit is $100. im wondering if we get a $100 certificate towards a spa purchase, or a $100 rebate for spa purchase. for example of the latter, spend $150, pay tax and tip on $150, send in $100 rebate w/ receipt, get $100 back in mail 6-8 weeks later.

If you click on How it Works, it says:
1. Purchase Wyeth Products
2. Send in Proofs of Purchase
3. Recieve Spa Rewards Certificates
4. Call 1800# To set up spa appointment
5. Enjoy Spa

So, pretty sure it's not a rebate on the spa purchase

[ameryki]

where can we find a walgreens easy saver catalog??

[slickydoll]

where can we find a walgreens easy saver catalog??

At walgreens! :)

[Thaineseguy]

slickydoll beat me to it... :)

i wonder which spas the GCs are good for. Looks like you can buy 20 items and get $500 in GCs if it's all on the same receipt. No limit!

[flarisek]

Nice! This'll get me easy cool points with my gf.

[buyandsell]

Nice! This'll get me easy cool points with my gf.

Forget the gf.

Find a happy ending Spa and don't even tell her.

HAPPY ENDING here i come, LOL

:cool:

[jason243]

There are only two spas in my area and at least one must be on the list since its listed by city.
Checked the one with a site and found this package:

"The Happy Hour

At the end of a long day, come in for our Happy Hour Retreat. Enjoy 30
minutes relaxing in the sauna and a wonderful hour long Studio 21 Massage.
» 90 minutes $65.00"

Looks like I'll have to go to Walgreen's after I gather my coupons ;)

[thespiannomore]

not that I don't believe everyone who is saying that there is no limit, but before I go and buy 20 advil etc products I don't need I want to verify where we are proving that there is no limit?
Anyone called? Are you reading it somewhere?
Thanks

I agree. If this is true, I know what I am giving myself for XMas this year. :woot:

[3*BoyzNMa]

If the store will take the $1off coupon on the Advil Pocket Pack (http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=301392&navAction=jump&navCount=1&id=prod865537)
Which they should...nothing in the 'fine print' that says they shouldn't.

I think that looks like one of the cheapest deals. They are $2.49 each -$1 coupon=$1.49.

[Malyshka]

Nvm.....

[Malyshka]

HERE (http://www.walgreens.com/store/rebateclub2.jsp?OFFERNUMBER=51) is a list of all qualifying products (more extensive than the one on the OP).

The cheapest is Advil Ibuprofen 200 mg, Pocket Pack, Tablets ($2.49). Oops, just noticed the cough drops ARE included. $1.99 for those.

[creck]

yay!

Even if you buy 4 or 5 sets of medicine like I am, you at least will get one set of spa certificates. $100 in certificates min from $15-20 in medicine per package. Well worth the chance.

[csl463]

So according to the websites participating products, you could buy 4 of these:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=304761&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod312

Here's a link to print coupons, it says excludes cough drops, but I'm going to try it anyway.

https://j.ovm1.net/wch1/universalreg/Registration.aspx?reg=true&product=ro&c=1253&s=01&p=ROB06001


and get the GC. NICE!!!

Thanks for the link to coupons!

Be careful about the cough drops, 'cause the Walgreens website says that Robitussin Cold and Robitussin Syrup are the only ones that are included.

[Malyshka]

Not true. Click on the link I put above and you will see the cough drops are in fact included.

[the_nomad]

I'd print this page:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/rebateclub2.jsp?PERIODID=98&navAction=push&navCount=1&page=8&selectedBrand=&OFFERNUMBER=51

For proof that somewhere on Walgreen's site it says that the cough drops are eligible.

Where does it say this?

He is referring to the first link that shows the products (as linked in the OP). However, if you go to the link I provided above you can see they clearly are included.

[tannersarms]

Any ideas how to figure out which Spas are participating? I'd like something a little more accurate than "There are particpating spas in Chicago" which is all I seem to get from the Spa locator.

Call the 800 number mentioned in the rebate details (800-742-8735).

[PuffyTacos]

slickydoll beat me to it... :)

i wonder which spas the GCs are good for. Looks like you can buy 20 items and get $500 in GCs if it's all on the same receipt. No limit!

Why do you say you could get $500? Seems like the maximum cert would be $100, am I missing something?

[Malyshka]

Why do you say you could get $500? Seems like the maximum cert would be $100, am I missing something?

On the tally sheet the amount of rebates you can claim is not filled in (as it does with other rebates if there is a limit). I assume this is what makes some people think you can do more than one $100 certificate. The limit of the $100 is per spa visit, so if you get more than one certificate, you would have to go back for more visits.

[dynamite]

I am thinking Robitussin Cold covers the rest of the qualifying Robitussin products on the list that are not syrups. The drops at $1.99 are clearly on the qualifying products list.

The big question is how many $100 rebates can one person get??

Ahh, I see. Thanks Malyshka and +rep

[KarenBoBaren86]

I don't remember where I saw this, but I clearly remember seeing that you had to spend $400 to use the $100 GC. I can't find this on the site anymore, but I remember reading it. Has anyone else seen what I am talking about?

That would be a deal breaker.

[KarenBoBaren86]

That would be a deal breaker.

Yes, I remember seeing this myself and looking it up online and being shocked. But now I don't see it anywhere. :confused: Maybe more info is given when you call them, but it's only open M-F.

Hopefully I'm wrong because this would be a great deal if I am.

From another deal site:

"I checked the website and it no longer indicates that the certificate is good for only 25% of the cost. I also called and asked the lady if there was a minimum purchase to use the gift certificate and she said no.

She also said there is no limit as to how many certificates you can get. I forgot to ask if there was an expiration date on them."

Looks like the rules have changed! Hot hot hot :)

Yikes!!
Let's hope not!

Anyway, how many services would you have to get in order to get up to $400?!

I might be able to spend that much in a spa in Amsterdam but not around here....

[Malyshka]

Are you serious? $400 would do 4 backrubs....is all (remember you can only spend $100 in certificates per visit).

[the_nomad]

Are you serious? $400 would do 4 backrubs....is all (remember you can only spend $100 in certificates per visit).

But who would order 4 backrubs in one visit?

Maybe like a backrub, footrub, manicure, and something else.... That would just be too much time pissed away. Granted, it would be refreshing but I gots lotsa stuff ta do!

Or maybe if you bring the clan and pay for theirs also.

[bwhite12603]

If you are from NV, might want to skip this one. Our state is not listed. I counted, and there are only 48 states listed, so check before jumping in. I'm not sure what other state is missing.

[Khaos13]

probably Hawaii or Alaska

Walgreens Easy Saver October 2007 PDF

http://a1061.g.akamai.net/7/1061/5412/home/www.walgreens.com/rebate/RebatePeriod98.pdf

When I clicked on the link to the program through the easy saver pdf I found these rules:

Offer expires 11/24/2007.
Offer available only in Walgreens Stores for purchase made in one transaction.
See Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog for offer submission form.
SpaRewards are rebates on spa services only.
Maximum rebate per spa visit is $100.
Spa Rewards certificates contain complete booking information including a toll free telephone
number to plan your spa visit and services.
Spa visits must be completed by March 1, 2008.

Does anyone know if they literally mean purchases in Walgreens STORES rather than on the Walgreens website? I think not, but wanted to point it out just in case...

[DrRuthie]

Advil coupon (it removed the personalized info when I copied the image)

BUT question: how do you use more than 1 coupon on 1 purchase?!!?
The $6 part is YMMV...if you get a manager they surely won't allow it right?

[MollieN313]

where do we mail the proof of purchase into?

nevermind i found it...

[Godrockdj]

Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh :whee: :whee:

Ok. Before I rush off to walgreens let me make sure this is correct - I can go to walgreens and get 4 items for a $100 certificate. I will receive this certificate after I mail the receipts and proofs of purchases in. I then use this cert at local spas on the list :nod: If I so choose, instead of buying 4 items I can buy 20 items, therefore getting 5 $100 certificates!!! However, all 20 of those items must be on one receipt correct? And I can do this once in October and once in November? DOES THIS ADD UP?

[MollieN313]

should we send in the UPC codes with it? Or just the receipt?

[Malyshka]

The best deal right now is the Robitussin. Right now the coughdrops are buy 2 get one free. It also lets you apply the $1 off coupon per item. So buy 14 bags get 7 free=$28-$21 in coupons=$7 for 21 items=$500 in gift certificates.

I bought 42 items for $14 and hope to get $1000 in gift certificates (I should have bought 3 more, silly me).

[RubyMist]

this sounds like a great deal - however isn't there a form we need to fill out to send the upc's in with.... whre is it? a bit confused...

If you purchase 20 items, you can use 20 coupons. It is not one per transaction, it is one per purchase.

[ToughPeanut]

Did the walgreens lady say anything when you presented 21 coupons?

Mine calls the manager any time I have more than 3.

[Malyshka]

I know. No clue what I am going to do with those. I never use cough drops.

The pocket packs are nice, but none of the Walgreens in my area had more than 3 or so of those in stock. The cough drops are easier to find in high quantity.

Is this the $1 coupon that says on it (excluding cough drops)? So this one did work for cough drops? I hate having to walk up there like "derr I can't read" and hoping to get someone who doesn't care. Because most of the time it seems like I get a coupon nazi. :(

They scanned just fine. The cashier read it, then scanned it. No problems.

[stevenq]

The big question is how many $100 rebates can one person get??

No, actually the biggest question is where to find participating Spas that will take this coupon and give you the full $100 rebate credit. Nobody has really addressed this question fully and when I visit the Wyeth site all I get is a bunch of crap that tells me that Wyeth is the biggest pharmacy in blah blah blah...

If you live in certain states they dont even participate! So how can you say the big question is "how many rebates can you get "when you could qualify for $1000 in rebates and not even have a place to use them!!!

I want to know how many Spas are participating in the San Francisco Bay Area. If I have to drive 3 hours out of the way this deal sucks because Im not spending 6 hours of drive time for a 30 minute massage.

And even if there was a spa closeby, some of those upscale spas in San Francisco START at well over one hundred dollars.

What Robitussin coupon did you use? The $1 off from the Wyeth website says specifically that cough drops are excluded.

Edit: Apparently in the time it took me to type this post, the question was already addressed. I am still weary... I too hate feeling like an idiot when they stop me on something like this.

[PhoebesMeow]

They scanned just fine. The cashier read it, then scanned it. No problems.

I might try this. For some reason I have a feeling when I approach whatever coupon nazi I will get a the time, with my $21 in internet coupons (oh and do they hate these whereever I go) that state first, they're not valid on drops and second, one per purchase... with my 21 bags of cough drops.. the only thing I'll get is a loud obnoxious response repeating these facts to me. I need make friends with a cashier or something... :lol:

Again, the one per purchase is appropriate. When you purchase 21, you get to use 21 coupons. If it was one per transaction, it would have said so.

Yep, not for the faint at heart. Personally I don't mind getting called on something. Worst case scenario you shrug your shoulders, take the coupons back and pay $28 for $500 in GCs. Not bad at all.

[PhoebesMeow]

Again, the one per purchase is appropriate. When you purchase 21, you get to use 21 coupons. If it was one per transaction, it would have said so.

[iluvmyelement]

Where did you get the coupons that do not say "excluding cough drops"?

I bought them from a clipping service since my store has them $10/10 all the time (and just happened to have 24 left)

[Godrockdj]

Just got back from Walgreens. I know the cough drops are listed as part of the deal on the walgreens page, but I was still slightly worried they would not be accepted for the deal, somehow. Plus we use Advil all the time and don't use cough drops so I didn't mind. I got the 8 remaining pocket packs ($1.49 each w/ coupon), 11 remaining boxes of tablets and caplets ($2.00 each w/ coupon), and had to grab a box of liqui-gels ($2.49 w/ coupon). I felt pretty silly with all those in my basket but oh well :) Walked up to the register and fortunately had a younger cashier. She seemed to be kind of in a rush so I just put my items on the counter and all 20 coupons ( the $1 and $2) next to them. She scanned the items then scanned the coupons. Out the door! :D

Overall I spent about $35 for twenty items. Five groups of four items for 5 certificates. About $7 each for a $100 spa certificate?!?!?? Yeah, I can deal with that. I LOVE SLICKDEALS! :D

[Khaos13]

I used the ones that say excluding drops and the worked. I however only used 14 coupons on a purchase of 21 bags because I was under the impression that because you were getting 7 of the bags for free that they would not allow a coupon on those seven bags. Oh well I paid 7 bucks extra for my $500 GC

[stasther]

9/23 Smartsource (not all papers got that coupon though)

poo... I only have last two weeks of smartsource

[Godrockdj]

Ok, so just to make this clear (and I'm sure many will have this question): As far as fulfillment, I fill out the Walgreens EasySaver rebate form on page 31 of the catalog. I purchased 20 items, so 5 groups of 4, so I would put down a quantity of 5, correct? Would we put anything in the "Earnings" column? How about in the box for "October Rebate Total"? So then we mail the form and our receipt off to the address specified on the form? Do we have to include the upcs from each item?

- Circle items on the receipt and write the offer number next to the price
- No UPC's are needed unless the offer states so
- You should fill out the earnings column

[Lisabeth]

Went to Walgreen’s in Denton, TX (University Dr) and used the $1.00 off Advil, scanned 16 coupons. Cleaned out the Advil. I will need the Advil if my spa visits do not come through!!!!

[GrandMstrBud]

So advil is the best deal right now as the robitussen is a YMMV?

[auntcarrie4]

The best deal right now is the Robitussin. Right now the coughdrops are buy 2 get one free. It also lets you apply the $1 off coupon per item. So buy 14 bags get 7 free=$28-$21 in coupons=$7 for 21 items=$500 in gift certificates.

I bought 42 items for $14 and hope to get $1000 in gift certificates (I should have bought 3 more, silly me).
How did you print more than 1 Robitussin coupon?

[slmommy]

They had the Robitussin liquid products for 3.99 and I used the $3 off coupon. Got 4 for $0.99 each. The cashier had no problems with the coupons. I bought some advil products also with coupons and there were no issues at all.

So they let you use the internet coupon more than once? That's not bad then for 0.99 each. I'll have to try for some of those along with some advil products. Is there certain advil products that qualify for this?

I didn't see any 3.99 Robitussin that qualify.

[mommyforella]

Too bad Tylenol is not one of the products included. The $5 printable coupons would make this deal super sweet :)

[trekkie963]

For some reason the register stopped accepting my coupons after about a dozen. I ended up getting 7 advil pocket packs and 16 packages of robitussin cough drops for $26. Not the biggest steal on the thread, but I will be very happy if the $550 in spa services comes through!

[RichardV]

Hell yah

[inspectorfox]

Wow ... I surely did miss out on this deal. I had the Walgreens EasySaver on my desk for like for over a week with this deal on the back page and I only saw it today on SD. Thanks OP!

[jbrowns22]

Curious why we should buy it all on one receipt as oppose to 5 (or how ever many) different transactions......is there a limit of one form per household?

[Malyshka]

One receipt per household per month. So if you want more than one $50 or $100 GC, you had best put them on one receipt.

[jayeskreezy]

after reading this im sort of confused...

do you have to put ALL of the purchases on one receipt to get the rebate or have different receipts for every 4 items? thanks!

After reading this whole thread I stil can't figure out if this Spa Reward is like a gift certificate or some sort of mail in rebate thing.
Can someone clarify please?
If it's like a gift cert, it sure would make for some nice gifts and stocking stuffers for the women on my list.
Thanks in advance :)

I am not sure anyone has received one yet. I agree it seems the whole promotion is poorly explained. Plus it seems they changed the rules midway through the promotion (up until just a few days ago the certificate was good for $100 off $400 of spa services), another factor that adds to the confusion. So far it seems you get a $100 certificate that you use towards spa services after you set the appointment through the central 800-number.

I guess time will tell. :dontknow:

you're right - i guess will have to take my chances on this one ... thanks :)

[SlikRick]

why would any company take a big loss like this? I have a feeling this will not end well. There has to be more strings attached...

[mikeblikesdeals]

Here is a $3 robitussin coupon, same restrictions.

I am sure that wyeth is covering most of the cost. The actual cost of a spa treatment can't be to high and thats most likely what they are out. Walgreen's might take a small hit, wyeth will take a small hit and the spa's will take a small hit(can get it back in return business or products sold) In the end Walgreen's and wyeth sales go up, spa's attract more traffic and you spend $6($100's more if you get addicted) or so on some meds and a spa treatment.

I doubt it really works that way. I know the one spa in my town that qualifies for this offer. It is an exclusive and beautiful spa that does not need to attract business through promotions such as this. I doubt they would be willing to pay any percentage of this. The more I think about this whole promotion, the more I think we are not getting all the facts.

[Icefroggy6]

Since there's a whole lot of reading to fully understand all this...

WTF is this? (OP)
Buy 4 items, get $100 towards a spa visit. Link (http://www.walgreenssparewards.com/)

What spas? (OP)
Lots, but NV has been excluded along with one other state. Check to see if yours is listed before continuing. Link (http://www.walgreenssparewards.com/spa_locator.cfm)

When do I have to do this by? (OP)
11/24/2007

What do I have to do to get this? (Malyshka)

1. Go to the Wyeth website and print at least 4 (ideally 6) coupons for the Roubitussin Cough Drops: Link (http://www.wyeth.com/specialoffers?rid=/wyeth_html/home/user_group_landing/for_pc/coupons.html).
2. Head to your local Walgreen
3. Pick up and keep a copy of the Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog on your way in.
4. Find the Roubitussin Cough Drops. They're Buy 2, Get 1 Free.
5. Buy 6 in one transaction.
6. Pay the nice cashier $1.98 for your 6 bags of cough drops. Give a little cough on your way out.
7. Head home and fill out the form from that Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog.
- Circle items on the receipt and write the offer number next to the price
- No UPC's are needed unless the offer states so
- You should fill out the earnings column
(nparker99)


Then what happens? (krys091)
You'll be waiting 6 to 8 weeks, just to stress you out. But after that, you'll get a certificate for your $100 (for 4 items). You call an 800-number listed on the certificate to schedule your appointment.

Cool! How long do I have to make my appointment? (OP)
Until March 1, 2008.

Will they really take all these damn coupons? (Malyshka)
If you purchase 20 items, you can use 20 coupons. It is not one per transaction, it is one per purchase.

So... How many can I do? (Malyshka)
There seems to be no limit. Just multiple of four for each $100.

Give me a price table!
Based on the cough drops...
GC = CD
$50 = $0.99
$100 = $1.98
$200 = $2.97
$300 = $3.96
$400 = $5.94
$500 = $6.93
...
$1000 = $13.86

What's the catch here?
Haven't really found one yet. The old offer was that the spa certificate used to only work for 25% of the bill. That "fine print" seems to have been removed for this offer. You may only use $100 towards your spa visit. So, if you have 10, you'll have to make 10 visits to the spa. Yeah, so there's your deal breaker... ;)

[bjsguess]

why would any company take a big loss like this? I have a feeling this will not end well. There has to be more strings attached...

I agree. Hope it works. This would be one of the all-time great slickdeals if it goes down as outlined in the original post. Couple things that could kill the deal:

1. the $400 purchase required to use the $100 Gift Certificate
2. lousy selections of spas or spas with jacked up prices for the promotion
3. limited to 1 certificate per month (really only a bummer for those that buy more than 4 items)
4. promotion details change and mail in rebates aren't redeemed as it appears they should be (i.e. minimum purchase requirements beyond what is listed right now, etc).

Like I said, I sure hope it works and I will be stocking up on stuff I don't need. Just not optimistic that it will pan out the way I want it to. Wouldn't be the first time a promotion like this blew up.

I have a hard time understanding how Walgreens/Wyeth could pay for these certs, even at a significantly reduced price, when most of these items are under $5 without a coupon. The non-slickdealers are still probably only paying $20 for a $100 cert. There has to be something else going on.

thanks for the recap Icefroggy6! :)


Q: Can the coupons be duplicated or must have unique serial #?

[AngelWings8]

This one really does sound interesing...I've never been to a spa before so I think this would be an AMAZING way for me to try one out and not shell out huge amounts of money.

Since I've never been in a spa, I don't really know what normal prices are for their services. Hopefully I won't have to pay a lot if I try to do this.

[loveatomics]

this seems too good to be true... and the poorly worded promo doesn't help any either. i'd love for this to work out as stated because $100 spa GCs would make great xmas gifts for the many women in my family.

thanks OP, repped.

[farsightxr20]

Are these gift certificates transferrable? I don't know if the next question will piss anyone off but I'm going to ask it anyway -

Real question: What's to stop us from getting $10,000 worth of spa certificates and selling them at some fraction of that?

[jdramirez]

This is awesome. It will be a cheap gift for my wife. I'm totally down with going a little crazy on this. Not so crazy they go out of business.

this seems too good to be true... and the poorly worded promo doesn't help any either. i'd love for this to work out as stated because $100 spa GCs would make great xmas gifts for the many women in my family.

Keep in mind, they have to know you are a slickdealer. Limitations do apply, 3 months isn't awful, but if they think it is a gift certificate of any sort, they may think they will have their toes done right before sandal weather or something like that.

[SlikRick]

I'm still not convinced. This is an incredible deal, but Walgreens has been quiet about this promo (Unlike JCPenney/Dockers that had signs plastered all over). Don't get me wrong, SD and FW have produced some unbelievable deals in the past, but they all made sense... this one is just too vague. A company that offered $100 off $400 in their last promotion, suddenly offering $100 off $100 doesn't seem right. Maybe the spa is going under...

I guess its just a small risk (< $10) to take a chance on and its not like cold medicine will go to waste or anything ... but, I think I will not bother with this one. Good Luck to you all.

[DealaMeal]

Is it possible to hand out cough drops to trick-or-treaters? Ya, thats a joke. I cant understand why some of you are buying so many cough drops when they go bad in a year while you could just buy Advil or something actually useful that will last several. Its going to be a shame if the cough drops don't qualify for some reason.

[loveatomics]

oh, most definitely. the GCs (if it works out okay) will be additional gifts anyhow as i've pretty much finished up my xmas shopping already.

plus, we don't go to spas for manis or pedis... nail salons ftw! :)

okay... yeah... i saw that... i don't like the inconsistency between the pages.

that won't stop me from trying...i'll just make sure to get at least 1 $100 rebate without including the cough drops.

and if the cough drops don't end up working, at least i get the 1 rebate. can always donate the cough drops. :lol:

yeah, whoever made that site did a very bad job describing the promo and the details. i don't entirely like how they don't tell you specifically which spas you can choose from either, but i'm going to give it a shot.

i'm sure homeless shelters can use some medicine or cough drops.


edit: i wonder if the cough drop special is over now that the new deal week has started (sunday). hmm...

[mikeblikesdeals]

another thing to be leary of... do they consider the 1 free to actually be "bought"?...
and yeah... i have a feeling that deal might be dead beginning tomorrow/today...

[apple_99]

Yes. one per purchase. However, the damn cashier may probably tells you she can only scan 1 coupon because SHE CAN'T READ. :mad:

If you purchase 20 items, you can use 20 coupons. It is not one per transaction, it is one per purchase.

[stevenq]

For some reason the register stopped accepting my coupons after about a dozen. I ended up getting 7 advil pocket packs and 16 packages of robitussin cough drops for $26. Not the biggest steal on the thread, but I will be very happy if the $550 in spa services comes through!

I'm just a little bit surprised not one of you is the least bit concerned or addressed my question: how do you find out exactly which Spas near you are fully participating and honoring these $100 coupons? Doesn't anybody care about this small detail!?? Trekkie, you could have wasted $26 if you don't have any Spa's participating near you and/or the Spa's that ARE participating have prices starting at well over $100.

[stevenq]

The actual cost of a spa treatment can't be to high and thats most likely what they are out.

http://calistogaspa.com/?page_id=4
http://www.kabukisprings.com/services/3

The last Spa is the Kabuki Hot Springs which is a popular place for Spa treatment in San Francisco. These are the prices for body treatments which are not cheap. The Calistoga Spa is not bad at $94 for 1 hour massage. It's $80 for a 50 min massage at Kabuki Hot Springs. In my opinion these prices aren't cheap. Btw - I doubt your coupons will work at either of these places.

[otter68]

Just a kharma booster - for everyone buying a bunch of medicine they don't really want or need (nothing wrong with that - I'm gonna get in on this today), donate it to a shelter or some other non-profit facility like that.

:heart:

[namedcal]

the link to the $1 robitussin coupon says not valid on cough drops, where's the one valid on cough drop?

Easy. You go to the website for the promo that's linked all over this thread, and use their spa locator. It'll tell you the cities in which there are particpating spas in your state. Then you might try calling the toll-free reservation line and see if they'll divulge what spa(s) are in your city.

[sara137]

I'm trying for two of these, already sent off the rebate yesterday morning. It's worth a shot.

[smartdeals]

what is $100 spa rewards? hot girls waiting there for $100 only?

[deskjet]

when you read this homepage, http://www.walgreenssparewards.com/index_home.cfm...it says there at the lower right that GOOD TOWARDS SPA SERVICES ONLY, ON YOUR NEXT SPA VISIT..which means we need to pay for the whole visit the first time before we can avail the GC? am i understanding it right? :confused:

[lolu13]

I know. No clue what I am going to do with those. I never use cough drops.

Give them to your kid's teacher or your local school. We always need them!

[coolfriend]

So it is any size of product and the form is in the saver magnize ? I have never done walgreens thanks in advance.

[CaddyBaddy]

oKAY GUys, i don't feel like scanning through this thread, trying to read between all the sage advice of how to save "2" bucks on your purchase.

Can someone just tell me 4 lower priced products that will qualify? Advil, etc. I am willing to through down 10/15 on this without the hassle of trying to find every "save 20 cents" coupon on the net. You guys crack me up with your cheapness. Do you not waste 2 bucks here and there?

[Malyshka]

I went last night and had NO problems using the above coupon on the cough drops. OOP $2.00 for a $100.00 GC?! NICE!!!!

I do NOT waste any bucks here, there or ANYWHERE!

I do NOT pay for things I can get free- which covers... just about everything!

I will clip a 1.00 cpn- 20x & thus get 20 free whatever-I-clipped-coupons.

I will, without hesitation wait in line 30 minutes to get my 5.99 cpns over ridden and save money for that purchase- because It's generally at least 10 of those- making that 59.99 in less then an hour (not many make that at a real job!)

I will not flinch over the idea of 'waiting' to get shampoo, soap, deoderant, meds, tp or anything else FREE- so I don't have to pay. Since I already have cases- waiting isn't an issue.

So- yes... I'll take your .20 and anyone else's that doesn't want it- please pm me for my address.

You truly need to be careful with handing out anything that is medicated to kids. You do not know what kind of meds a student is on already, and as such a reaction can occur if you hand out cough drops. I know I would be upset if a teacher handed out meds to my child without consulting with me first.

Better safe than sorry. ;)

[fallingknife]

Excellent deal. Can't believe I'm the first to think about it, but since no one has mentioned it: Most of the items in this deal are eligible for reimbursement through your Flexible Spending Account (if you participate in one at work). Even the cough drops. I think the only brand that isn't is Centrum. So if you have extra FSA money and put this in for reimbursement, you're essentially getting up to an extra 40% off the price at the register. (But note that you're limited to "reasonable" quantities of OTC items. 2x coughdrops is probably OK, but 20x would probably get rejected.)

Another point about how Wyeth/Walgreens can afford this. Marketers have a concept called "breakage," which is the percentage of coupons/rebates/etc that are never redeemed. Assuming they're only paying for spa gift certificates that actually get redeemed--which seems likely--they might only expect to have to pay $10 or $20 for every $100 GC that gets sent out. (That is, they expect 80% or 90% breakage.) An industry rule of thumb is to expect at least 50% breakage for most programs. I could imagine it being higher for something like this.

Admittedly, the economics of this for the sponsors are still pretty screwy, but not QUITE as bad as some posters are assuming.

[mikebecky]

SpaRewards are rebates on spa services only.

The more I read about this, the more I think that there is more behind the fine print. It's kinda like, "I'll believe it when I see it" type of thing. I truly think that when something is too good to be true, well folks, it is.

I am sure we will find out more tomorrow when their phone lines open. They are gonna be swamped with questions about this one. I don't think they know what they are in for and I would NOT be surprised if they changed the rules somehow on us all. ( kinda like the KMart deal and gift cards....)

Don't get me wrong, I will be trying to get in on this deal. I already repped the OP and TU'ed the deal. I just think that there is more than meets the eye here.

I will definitely be calling them when they open tomorrow. There are plenty of spas in my area where I could spend $100 and no more, but I don't think that is the issue.

I am sure there are many ways they could do this to where it is not a good of a deal as they would make it sound (by them leaving out information).

For example, couldn't have a spa rebate certificate for $100 that goes something like this....

$20 rebate off a massage
$10 rebate off manicure
$10 rebate off facial

etc. etc. to where all the rebates on the certificate add up to $100. There are your $100 in spa rebates.

I can definitely see something like that happening, so I am going to wait until I hear more to do it. Their lack of information makes me think they are hiding details that could make the deal not so great.

$200 = $2.97
$300 = $3.96
$400 = $5.94
$500 = $6.93
...
$1000 = $13.86

What's the catch here?
Haven't really found one yet. The old offer was that the spa certificate used to only work for 25% of the bill. That "fine print" seems to have been removed for this offer. You may only use $100 towards your spa visit. So, if you have 10, you'll have to make 10 visits to the spa. Yeah, so there's your deal breaker... ;)


Thanks for breaking it down!

one concern - any thoughts if the b1g1free kills the "buy 4" part?

thanks

I'm just a little bit surprised not one of you is the least bit concerned or addressed my question: how do you find out exactly which Spas near you are fully participating and honoring these $100 coupons? Doesn't anybody care about this small detail!?? Trekkie, you could have wasted $26 if you don't have any Spa's participating near you and/or the Spa's that ARE participating have prices starting at well over $100.

I can tell from the website that there are spas nearby participating, so that doesn't concern me. It's true that spas can be expensive, and indeed some of the spas around here probably charge more like $140 for a massage. Still, if I end up paying $40, I'd consider it a bargain.

I am not concerned about this. The way it rang up at my Walgreens, it never actually called any of them "free", it just listed the price as 1/$1.99 or 3/$3.98.

[JonLouisville]

This reminds me of the "free companion airline ticket" scam... I guess time will only tell.

[mystiq]

BTW the $1 off any Robitussin was in my Valassis 9/23 and not in the Smartsource

[SimplyDABulous]

$1,500 Spa certificate FTW :)

If it works out the way I hope it does, a bunch of friends and I will be enjoying free massages :)

The coupons states that it excluded cough drops, and it also says one coupon per purchase. Not quite sure how that's going to work.

[SHORTYSHALY]

haha and dont forget that you can charge this to your medical spending account at work!!!

props to fallingknife for thinking of it one page ahead of me! :)

Waaaaaaaay too good to be true. Why would a Walgreens want to lose so much money just to sell a little bit of product?

Maybe if there was a Walgreen Spa or something I could see it. But, as far as I know, most spas are usually small businesses or connected with hotels and resorts. If they aren't affiliated with Walgreens they certainly aren't going to discount their services.

Don't get me wrong, I hope it's true. I would love to see that one person get their $1000 worth of foot massages for buying a cartful of coughdrops. But, just too many loose ends on this one.

This promo has been around for a long time. It used to be the spa coupons were good for only 25% of your total spa purchase. With the use by dates coming up at March 2008 no doubt they want to get rid of them all. Nice deal IF you can squeeze all those foot massages in within 3 months.

Already confirmed from another deal site no limit on the amount of spa certificates you can get and no purchase necessary to redeem the full value of the certificate. Have fun with it.

$1000 spa cert means 10 back rubs+ 10 happy endings. Nice..:)

The more I read about this, the more I think that there is more behind the fine print. It's kinda like, "I'll believe it when I see it" type of thing. I truly think that when something is too good to be true, well folks, it is.

I am sure we will find out more tomorrow when their phone lines open. They are gonna be swamped with questions about this one. I don't think they know what they are in for and I would NOT be surprised if they changed the rules somehow on us all. ( kinda like the KMart deal and gift cards....)

Don't get me wrong, I will be trying to get in on this deal. I already repped the OP and TU'ed the deal. I just think that there is more than meets the eye here.

I don't understand one thing ... don't we all use Advil, Robitussin, Advil PM and this kind of over the counter medicines ? What's your risk here ? What are you going to lose if the rebate does not come or get canceled or whatever ? Instead of buying one bottle of advil and one of Robitussin, buy two of each and file for the rebate. If it comes, good for you ... if not, take two advils and get over it. :)

The 'other site' has no more details than we do. So just because they say it is, doesn't make it so. ;)

That's definitely a good point, but the reason why I would want to know is because if it is a really good deal then I would do it a lot of times. While I can definitely use 3 bottles of Advil, I wouldn't want to risk buying 30 and then find out this deal has more restrictions than it leads us to believe.

Well, um...no, I don't use any of those products. I don't want to boast, but I am the picture of health and, for some crazy reason, never get headaches.

Now, if they had some sort of deal on Gillette Mach 3s or Diet Snapple or skincare product or sunscreen (going on vacation next month) - heck, I would be all over that stuff. :nod:

As it stands, it is a risk for me because I don't use those products. Does anyone know what the refund policy is at Walgreens?

Since it does not require the UPC, I dare say we could return them should all else fail. Just make sure you make a copy af the receipt.

[sevenfly]

Does anyone know if the spa certificates come with your name printed on them? They would make fantastic stocking stuffers for my sisters!

why don't you just wait until you find out for sure how this deal works.
I am sure we will find out tomorrow.

Info from the other deal site has been confirmed by the OP calling customer service.

And yet another site called customer service and got a different story. Let's face it....CSRs often have no clue what they are talking about. ;)

Hear hear!

[*whee*]

yeah, whoever made that site did a very bad job describing the promo and the details. i don't entirely like how they don't tell you specifically which spas you can choose from either, but i'm going to give it a shot.

i'm sure homeless shelters can use some medicine or cough drops.


edit: i wonder if the cough drop special is over now that the new deal week has started (sunday). hmm...

Has anyone been in today to confirm that the cough drops are still B2G1F?

Also, has anybody used the $3 off Robitussin coupons on the cough drops? Since they're only $1.99, I'm wondering if it'd be an issue to buy a bunch, have an overage, and then submit the receipt showing that you not only didn't pay anything, but you had extra money applied to your purchase.

My local store was running B2G1F..also I used 7 $1 coupon and 1 $3 coupon. Total for 8 cough drops came to approx $2.50 .......now even I dont get the GC I will not mind!!

[lovecheapstuff]

walgreens by greenspring ave exit of 695 has the alevert on clearance...so what was ~$25 is now only $6 and change...after the $4 coupon it is $2 and change...there are still some left...at the end of the first aisle in the back, by the clearance meds.

thanks op

If it doesn't pan out we can always return the stuff to Walgreens.
