Hy-Vee is happy to redeem your coupons. The following rules apply when accepting vendor coupons clipped from newspapers or magazines, received by mail, or obtained legitimately from the internet:

• The coupon must be legible.
• The coupon should have a scannable bar code (UPC) and a remittable manufacturer’s address.
• Coupons must have an expiration date and must be used within the stated time frame. Expired coupons will not be accepted.
• Only one vendor coupon per item will be accepted. However, a customer may use a vendor coupon in combination with a Hy-Vee coupon on the same item.
• Soft drink container caps will be accepted.

Due to increased fraud, the following two additional rules apply to internet coupons:

• Vendor coupons that involve any kind of free product will not be accepted unless the conditions set forth in subsections i), ii), iii), iv), and v) herein are met:
  1. the coupon is a “buy one, get one” (BOGO) internet vendor coupon.
  2. the coupon contains a barcode.
  3. the coupon has a purchase obligation.
  4. the “free item” has equal or less value than the
     purchased item.
  5. there will be no cash redemption.
• A Store Director has authority to refuse the redemption of any coupon and to set monetary limitations (for example, $2.50 per coupon) for the acceptance of internet coupons at the Store Director’s store.

Coupon Policy

As a customer-focused retailer, Walgreens encourages the use of coupons by our customers in our retail stores, in accordance with the following guidelines.

Guidelines:

General

• Any coupon offer not covered in these guidelines will be accepted at the discretion of Walgreens management.

Sale Items 

• Walgreens will accept manufacturer coupons for an item that is on sale.
• In the event that any item's selling price is less than the value of the coupon, Walgreens will only accept the coupon in exchange for the selling price of the item. Coupon redemption can never exceed the selling price of an item and no cash back is ever provided in exchange for any coupons.

Multiple Coupons 

• When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer.
• The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value).
