Are Register Rewards redeemable at stores other than Walgreens? Yes they are. Maybe this isn’t news to you, as it has been the scuttlebutt of Pocket Your Dollars’ comment section for a few weeks. We delayed in making a public statement about it until we got our facts together and felt ethically comfortable sharing this new money-saving strategy.
We would like you to help us put together a list of stores (first chains of stores, second specific locations) that have expressed a willingness to accept Register Rewards. Since Register Rewards are manufacturer-issued coupons others store accept them under the same terms and conditions as their regular coupon policies. That means if a store doubles certain coupons, then a qualifying Register Reward should double (at Roundy’s grocery stores a $1 Register Reward would double on a Wednesday to $2 off). If a store accepts expired coupons, then it should accept expired Register Rewards.
Before you start your happy dance, I’d like to give one gentle reminder. As you read the list of stores where readers believe Register Rewards are accepted, please know that this does not reflect the corporate policies of these companies. You may want to call the actual local grocery store where you shop, speak to the Customer Service Manager and ask if they accept manufacturer-issued coupons that have a logo from another store on them. Better yet, bring a Register Reward in and ask someone in authority if they would accept it. In everything, all the time, please be kind and respectful to the people you are interacting with.
We are opening up this post for folks to share which grocery store chains (first of all) and locations (second of all) have stated a willingness to accept Register Rewards.
Let’s kick off the list:
Cub Foods – Maple Grove
Rainbow Foods – Maple Grove (not anymore. In fact, no Rainbow Foods stores accept them anymore that we are aware of)
Your turn: Which other chains of retailers do you know of that accept Register Rewards? Which locations do you know of that accept Register Rewards?
P.S. – If you don’t know what a Register Reward is, find out what they are and how you can earn them.

Pick n Save in Sussex, Wisconsin today, took a catalina coupon from a Kellogg’s deal obtained at Piggly Wiggly with Piggly Wiggly logo on it. Coupon did say manufacturer coupon on it. This isn’t a Register Reward however it might help someone anyway.
I have always been able to use RR (expired) at the Cub in Blaine (at the Village off Lexington and 35W)
Cub in Cottage Grove takes register rewards also…..Expired up to 3 months.
Cub in Bloomington (Lyndale Ave) has taken register rewards multiple times, including several expired ones!
The Cub on Broadway in N Mpls doesn’t take Register Rewards. They adamantly told me that it can only be used at Walgreens, and that’s why they wrote their name on it. Our coupons say Cub on them…
The Cub on 101 in Otsego takes expired register rewards, but Elk River does not.
Cub in Elk River took them for me today. I was using the self checkout line if that makes a difference, I’m not sure…
Rainbow Foods in Lakeville took my Walgreens Register Rewards today.
Just tonight Cub in Hastings told me they now accept RR’s. Up until a couple weeks ago they wouldn’t take them but I ask every time I go and this time a supervisor said “we now take them!” Yay! :)
The Copps and one of the Pick n’ Saves (both Roundy’s) in Appleton, WI accept the register rewards!
I know the Dominicks & Jewel – Osco in Illinois takes them!
Does anyone know if Walgreens will accept expired register rewards?
Krista–I have read comments that a manager has said yes but on a case by case situation and the RRs were not very expired. If you get a no try another location and also Cub Foods.
The cub in Woodbury stated as of last week they will not except them…i had used them multiple times before there!
As of about a month ago Rogers stopped taking them buy mg still does
I tried to use a register reward (for the first time) and I guess they don’t accept them at the Woodbury one. :(
Maple Grove Cub no longer accepts RR. Probably update that on PYD website. I don’t know who, but Walgreen’s, takes them in Maple Grove.
