Balance Rewards vs Register Rewards

Walgreens has both Balance Rewards and Register Rewards.

At first I was kind of confused about what they were and what the differences were.
Here is an easy break down:


Balance Rewards

    * Products with points that go towards your store card
    * Never expire
    * 1,000 points = $1
    * When you have 5,000 points on your card you can begin using them to purchase products
     *Cannot redeem points in the same transaction you earned the points in.  (But you can do multiple transaction in one shopping trip. Happy day!)
     * If you pay with points you still will get your Register Rewards.
                                                           * If you pay with points for a transaction you will not get more points. (so plan purchases ahead of time)
                                                           * To know what products have balance rewards look in the weekly add
     

Register Rewards

    * Print out at the register
    * Can be used towards purchasing another product
    * DO expire
    *Cannot redeem rewards in the same transaction you earned the rewards in.  (But you can do multiple transaction in one shopping trip. Happy day!) 
    * To know what products have Register Rewards (RR) look in the weekly add

• If you pay with points you still will get your Register Rewards.
• If you pay with points for a transaction where you should earn more points you will not.
