Walgreens is the biggest drug selling company in the US, and in spite of competition, the company has managed to remain on top by offering customers good deals and savings, including Auto-Reorder and Save. At the very least you’ll save 10% from your second order, plus you get free shipping to boot.
How Auto-Reorder and Save Works
The program basically has just three steps, and it’s clear that Walgreens is determined to make it as simple as possible to match the offers made by rival store Rite Aid. In any event, here’s how it works:
- Find the products you want to order and look for the Auto-Reorder symbol.
- Next, set up a schedule for delivery. Keep in mind that you can skip or cancel this anytime you want.
- Now you just wait for the shipments to come, and you get the items at discounted rates.
Details on the Auto-Reorder and Save Program
If you haven’t started yet, go to the official website and look for items with the Auto-Reorder & Save mark. Those are the ones with the reorder options on the cart and the product details. Go to the product page and choose the quantity and how frequently you want the items delivered.
After selecting all the items you want to be shipped, you can complete the Auto-Reorder and check out. To participate in this program however, you need to have an account at the Walgreens website (it’s free to register).
24 hours after completing the order, your Auto-Reorder Manager page will show up, displaying all the items you ordered along with information about the reordering schedule. In addition, the program will send you a notification email prior to sending out a shipment.
As a customer, you’ll be able to review the order details and you can make changes to these as well. The deadline for making these changes is also included in the notification so before the next shipment arrives you can have everything set.
The Benefits of Auto-Reorder and Save
As pointed out earlier, Auto-Reorder and Save entitles you to a 10% or more discount for the second order regardless what it is. This discount doesn’t include the savings you receive if the item you order is on sale and being offered for a discount.
In short if the item is being sold for a 10% discount, you save 20% off the regular retail price. And yes, shipping is free.
With regards to the Balance Rewards points, you are eligible to use it for the first Auto-Reorder and Save shipment, but succeeding shipments require the use of other payment methods. However, you can earn Balance Reward points on the items provided they are eligible.
Many customers prefer to receive their shipments at fixed intervals, but if you prefer to have them at varying intervals like 30, 60 or 90 days you may do that.
For instance, you can arrange your orders so that you receive your vitamins every 90 days and the rest every 30 days. Finally, the Auto-Reorder and Save program is accessible on mobile so you can order anywhere, anytime.
