this program replaced many high value register rewards deals with a number of points earned which could be traded in for gift cards or other rewards. not a terrible idea, in theory - but the small number of points earned was rarely enough to equal the value of rr's earned in the regular ads.
let's hope the new program walgreens is planning is an improvement!
from the faq on walgreensrewards.com...
Why is the program being discontinued?
Walgreens Rewards is a pilot program that is currently operating in a selected number of stores. We're in the process of designing a new program that will be the largest, most exciting retail rewards program in the marketplace. Discontinuing the pilot program is essential to make the necessary enhancements.
When will the program be discontinued?
Program discontinuation will occur in two phases:
Effective January 1, 2012, program cards will no longer be required to receive the sale prices for items featured in our weekly circular. Coupons featured in the weekly circular will be required at checkout to receive the discount.
Further, on January 1, 2012, we will no longer issue points for purchases made.
Points earned must be redeemed by January 31, 2012.
What should I do with my program card and key tag?
Cards and key tags will be deactivated effective January 1, 2012, at which point they can be discarded because they will no longer work in our stores.

- 10 points are earned for every $1 spent, excluding prescriptions
it has been reported that points are only earned on your oop amount and only for whole dollars.
so if you spent $.99 after your rr and coupons were deducted, you would not earn any points! if you spent $1-$1.99 oop, you would earn 10 points, etc.
State and Federal laws exclude some items from earning points. - 100 points are earned for every eligible prescription
300 points are earned for every 90-day eligible prescription
Prescriptions paid for in whole or in part by a federal or state health care program are not eligible for points. - "Bonus Point Promotions" may be offered which will award additional Walgreens Rewards points with purchase of certain products. Bonus point promotions will not apply to rain check items.
- Walgreens.com purchases that are paid for and picked up in store are eligible for points.
- track your points balance, view your purchasing history, browse available rewards, and request Rewards Certificates, at WalgreensRewards.com
- Points will be posted to your account within 2 weeks of your purchase and expire three years after they are earned.
- 2000 points may be redeemed for a $5 Walgreens Gift Certificate (see other rewards)
Use these handy certificates like cash when you go to the register, combine them with other forms of payment, or give them as gifts. - Walgreens Rewards Certificates may be combined with other Walgreens or manufacturer discounts or promotions
Certificates cannot be used to purchase alcohol; dairy; tobacco; stamps; gift/phone/prepaid cards; transportation passes, lottery tickets, prescription items, or controlled substances purchased from Louisiana pharmacies.
