Turn +UP Rewards Into CASH!

I am Loving Rite Aid.

I Just Figured Out How to Turn My +UP Rewards Bucks Into CASH!

Before I posted this deal, I wanted to make sure it would work the way I was hoping it would be. And it did! I am so excited about the prospect of this scenario and the implications it holds for the future of my bank account....

Here's What Happened:

Last Saturday, I had $2.88 in +Up Rewards "bucks" for Rite Aid that were expiring. I had worked a deal a few weeks back where I paid less than $2 for $17 worth of items. Then, I received $2.88 BACK in +UP Rewards.  

As stated, this $2.88 was expiring. So, I took my bargain binder and the circular (and the rewards, of course) to Rite Aid.   I was SUPER ANNOYED, however, bc the items and deals I wanted to work were sold out. As I was walking around trying to think fast of a plan B to use my rewards dollars on, I spotted BLINK Tears drops. They were fully stocked. I grabbed my circular. Hadn't I seen where they were $7.99 on sale that day, with a full $7.99 rebate offer attached?? Yep. It was right there in the circular. Usually those "FREE AFTER REBATE" items are sold out. This one wasn't. Why was that? I think it was because the good folks at Rite Aid forgot to put the hang tag with the offer on the shelf.  AND, they were marked $10+ in price. Again, an oversight of the employees. They forgot the special ad price of the week on that item.

SO, WOO HOO! I could use my $2.88 in bucks to pay for the $7.99 drops, and then get a rebate on the purchase price of the drops going through Rite Aid's Rebate site.  

My question for the check out employee (also a manager) was this:  Would I get a rebate for the FULL $7.99, or would I just get the $7.99-$2.88 amount since I was using "bucks"?  He didn't know. I figured, heck, Free Drops either way and the +UP rewards were expiring that evening, so why not run an experiment for you.

So, I bought the drops, paid with $2.88 in +UP rewards, and submitted the rebate offer. Fast Forward to today. I just got notice that Rite Aid approved my rebate and is mailing me a check for $7.99!!! 

So, I essentially turned my $2.88 into depositable CASH for my bank account. NICE!!  

*Remember, I originally got the $2.88 by spending LESS out of pocket than the $2.88 I got back. This was a TRUE moneymaker!! 

Now you know.  I am really thrilled about the prospect of working rebates more often in the future and getting even more cash to deposit.  Need more info on this? Want to get signed up to start working your own Rebate deals? Go HERE. 

**This is the SECOND TIME where Rite Aid being sold out of the items I wanted originally turned into a moneymaking scenario for me.  The first time was when I went to work an Edy's deal. They were sold out of the icecream. I could have bought 6 of the quart and a half Edy's for $1 total. They gave me a raincheck. The week they stocked the ice cream back up, they had a different sale going on. I bought the 6 ice creams with my raincheck and THEN, it triggered the current week's deal to print +UP rewards out for me.  I ended up getting paid 30c or so to walk out with 6 Edys.  That was better than paying $1 for 6! Yeah. Digging my luck at Rite Aid.. even when it seems like crap luck, it turns out wonderfully. You just have to be patient sometimes.
