I have to say I
was very weary about making a purchase via my phone app. So, I started by going
to a brick and mortar store to get my Walgreens rewards account number. This is
an easy, straight forward process. I did it quickly at the cash register by giving
a few bits of information. There, I am
set with my loyalty card.
Why such interest in the Balance reward
program? Well, this new program is one designed to help us save time and money
while we keep our health in check
Joining is free,
and as mention here, it is quick. With
this program you can:
-Take advantage
of Walgreens Savings and sales that are exclusive to program members
-Rack up points
with your prescription and immunization.
It is something you will do any way, so get something for it!
-Different
products will give you point every week, so before you know it, even
unwillingly, you will be adding up point and soon redeeming them
-Redeeming is as
early as having 5000 point which is equivalent to $5.
-If you are an
AARP member you can link both accounts for exclusive point offers
-In the mood for
walking? That will also give you points!

Next step was
downloading the free app; another easy step.
Done the same way you would any
other application. In less than 5 minutes you are good to go. Honestly, I wanted to give this a try because
with our crazy hectic lives I want to be able to take care of my Walgreen needs
just about anywhere. I usually remember of things to do, and if I don't take
care of it right away I will keep forgetting to get things done. This will give
me the convenience of having it all at my fingertips when I am ready for it.
Translation:
Instant chores done, instant gratification!

Once I activated
my Balance Rewards account, I browsed, I shopped, filled my cart, went to check
out, had my rewards recorded via my phone number, and paid.
My order arrived a day later.
The entire
process really is the same as if you had done it via their website. If you already purchase online, you are
already very familiar with what will happen when you do it with the
application. As for the points you accumulate, you can redeem them at check out for additional discounts.
I must admit, I
did go online to verify everything despite having received my confirmation
email. No unpleasant surprises to report
;-)
I am now
constantly using my Walgreen application, trusty little friend I now rely on.
Give it a try; it
definitively will save you time, money and gas!
