what to buy :) ?

That was my reaction- it's quite a bit of miles per $ but how much toiletries, candy, and personal products can one buy? Although their website has a "sexual well being" tab that offers a lot of stuff not stocked in their stores:eek:

Could you translate? One meaning of your first abbreviation is not something that I think has anything to do with Walgreens purchases.... ;) :D :eek:

midcitybeth, when you say "I bought 25 in merchandise and 25 gift card and was credited miles for the full amount" do you mean the 15 miles/$ have actually shown up in your AA account, or just showing on the shopping mall site as a transaction pending posting?

If you actually got the miles, good on you, as the T&C clearly state that GC are not eligible:

Please note these terms & conditions: Not eligible on purchases made with coupon or discount codes that are not found on this site. Not eligible on gift cards, gift certificates or any other similar cash equivalents. Not eligible on purchases made through sub-domains such as aarp.walgreens.com, AARP discounts, pharmacy purchases or prescription drugs but photo orders picked up in-store are eligible. Not eligible on Prescription Savings Club. Any return, exchange or other adjustment made at a physical store location for an on-line purchase may result in your purchase being deemed ineligible for reward.

I get a ton of things at Walgreens. Bought contact lens solution, band aids, blister aids (upcoming ski trip), Nice snacks (kids favorite), feminine napkins, Aveeno body wash (son has eczema), etc. Total cost about $100. All things we buy anyway.

but would it be $70 at walmart ?

the problem I have with these buys is that the prices are regular everyday prices and I always but 2x 3x what I need when something is on sale,

so the miles are really not "free" with my buying habits

True they haven't posted to AA yet, I will let you know if they do.

Walgreen's has sale items, too. And closeouts. With the 15x and the 750/1500/2500 holiday bonus, this is worth it to me. Assuming I actually receive the miles.

Agree depends on buying habits. I live in an urban area - the closest Walmart is an hour away, so I never go there. I do go to Walgreens a lot. My purchases if anything was replacing what I usually get on Amazon.

I did want to hit $100 to get the final 1000 mile bonus. So 2500 miles for $100 is a good effective discount for us.

I bought Walgreens gift cards.

Did anyone buy a different type of gift card? If so, how did you do it?

Datapoint: Walgreen's 16 miles bonus is now DEAD. It's only 3 miles per $.

My 15x points already show as pending. Thank you to the OP for the tip!

Bought $100 GC and waited for it to be confirmed, then bought another $1k in GC and they have all been confirmed for the 15x points. Now i gotta go use these to buy Visa/Amex GCs in a Walgreens store, and then drive across the street to CVS to buy VR's. Kind of wish i would have bought more, but didn't want to push it.

mill3804 Nov 27, 2013 12:09 pm

When did you buy yours? I bought one $100 GC on Fri and I am not seeing anything yet. Also not sure Walgreens will let you buy a gift card with a gift card...
