Can people please post experiences of changing dates etc? I want to do this but want to do it for one certain hotel only. It does seem to require you to give three separate hotels etc. I would need to change it once I got the certs. Experiences please once it starts to roll out..

Anyone know if you can use the GET15OFF code on RiteAid.com multiple times on the same account? Seems like it would be worth it to make 3 orders of $75 and get $15 off each one, $45 off total. Would certainly alleviate the sting of the higher RA prices on some of the household goods like Tide/Bounce/Brawny and make it more reasonable to stock up.
If it would only work once per account though, far less attractive.

Thanks for posting this. I just bought a bunch of Nicorette and will resell on eBay. The GET15OFF code only works once per account. I started by registering for a wellness+ card and logging in, then by registering to redeem on the Happy You Year site, then by making the purchases. I had a $79 transaction (reduced to $64) and then a $190 transaction. I got one code with the first transaction and four codes with the second transaction, added them all to my account, and redeemed them for the certificate right away, which I will put in today's mail. We'll see how it goes.
Time of redemption appears to be when you redeem the points online for the 2 Night Hotel Stay Certificate, not when you go to book the hotel.
Be careful - when you redeem for the hotel certificate that you have to mail in, you have to click to open a PDF and print it right then (or at least save it to a PDF) -- there's no way to return to the site to access the certificate at a later time.
I went for this deal. A little wary though:
"All Rewards are available until supplies last and are further subject to promotional availability. Should a requested Reward not be available at time of redemption by Customer then TRCo Marketing (“Promoter”) may offer the Customer an alternative Reward within the same qualifying Tier or alternative reward of equal or greater value."
Looks like these terms make it easy for them to use the Hyatt offer as a teaser but bait-and-switch you with two photography lessons instead.

On the fence as to whether I should try this deal.
The only Hyatt stay I have planned before summer is for the FTU in Dallas, which is held at the Hyatt Regency DFW Airport, which is one of the hotels on the RA list. Special event rates for that hotel are $99/month, so this deal could save me $200+. If availability isn't there, the Grand Hyatt DFW is also on the list, as well as about a dozen other hotels in the Dallas area. The problem is that I really don't need a whole lot of items on that list.

I can confirm that this was a legit promotion. I just completed all steps and received a confirmed booking with Hyatt at an international location. Best $250 I spent on RiteAid. 
There is still time for those of you on the fence. Go for it while there is still time.

The agents on the phone are really helpful and mail the 2 night certificates out quickly. I suggest mailing registered mail so it does not get lost.
The properties I am checking out are $129 and up per night, so a very good value.
Thanks to the original poster.

Good to know it's easy. Mine just went in the mail today Priority with signature confirmation. I don't have much travel plans so I'm hoping to be able to cancel to be able to use the certificates at a later date. If not, I still plan to make good use of the nights.

I just completed my booking at the Hyatt in Bali so I can confirm this works out even if it's a somewhat lengthy process. Rates were going for $179/nt at the hotel. For everyone considering this, I've laid out the process below based on my experience.
Process:
- After completing the $250 spend and getting the 5th redemption code you select the Hyatt for 2 nights as your redemption.
- Next you receive a form that you have to fill out and mail in along with your picture ID. This is just your information and ID, not your booking requests. I used certified mail to be safe.
- You will receive an online booking form to select your three hotels and nights even if you haven't mailed your other form in. I selected three hotels for dates I could live with even if I didn't get my first choice.
- I mailed my redemption form in on a Thursday, it arrived at the TLC PO Box the following Monday. It took until Wednesday of the following week to be contacted so you will have to wait the full 8 days they mention in the T&Cs.
- Agent gave me my first choice and reconfirmed the dates and everything.
- They make the booking for you on the phone and require a CC number to hold the booking. They then mail you the two certificates to use for your stay.
- Per the agent, the bookings are cancellable up to 72 hours before the stay.
If you're still considering this, check around for free after rebate items that Rite Aid sells. That took care of some of the required spend for me.

Also, I redeemed for the hotel stay over the weekend. My form was mailed yesterday. However, you are saying you receive an online booking form before the mailed in form is actually received? If so, I need to be looking for that because I haven't received it.
Thanks for the outline...great information to know.

I think I'm going to give this promo a try but want to make sure I understand everything.
The FAQ states that the pre-coupon (pre-discount) price is what matters. Can someone confirm this? So I can use the $15 off $75 coupon in 3 separate transactions ($85 x3) and get $15 off each transaction, and I will still get the 5 redemption codes? I can even apply other coupons from RA or manufacturer and drop the final total down to $150, and still get the 2 nights? I know RA has high prices, but this sounds almost too good to be true.
