Wellness+ Points Calculation

I've figured out how the Wellness+ points are calculated! For anyone who is using their Wellness+ card regularly and trying to get up to 500 points and the 10% discount, here is this lowdown.

You get one point for each dollar spent before manufacturer's coupons and Single Check Rebates, but after any Rite Aid coupons, Video Value coupons (including the $5/20), and Wellness+ coupons. Clear as mud?

Here is an example:

$6.00 Tide Laundry Detergent
-$1 MFQ
= Pay $5.00 + tax
(You will get 6 points for this transaction)

$6.00 Tide Laundry Detergent
-$1 RAQ
= Pay $5.00 + tax
(You will get 5 points for this transaction)

If the Tide detergent in the above example also had a $1 Single Check Rebate, you would still get points as listed above, since points are awarded before rebates.

So the best way to rack up the points quickly is to buy items that are free or low out-of-pocket cost after manufacturer's coupons or rebates. So the CoverGirl and Carefree deals from this week would both be great for this, since they are free after MFQ this week!
