Walgreens has started a new program called Steps with Balance Rewards. Basically for every mile you walk or run you get 20 points in Balance Rewards as you track your weight.

You earn 1% Walgreens Cash rewards on the amount you spend out of pocket in our stores, including the amount you spend for a prescription. A prescription with a $0 copay won't earn Walgreens Cash rewards because you didn't pay anything out of pocket for the prescription.

Walgreens Cash rewards can be used in addition to Walgreens or other manufacturer discounts or promotions, unless otherwise stated in the promotional offer. Walgreens Cash rewards are applied to eligible purchases after tax and after all discounts, percent-off and manufacturer coupons.

To view Walgreens Cash rewards earned, log in to your myWalgreens Program member account at walgreens.com or on the Walgreens App or at the point of sale terminal in store. To redeem Walgreens Cash rewards, please see the myWalgreens Program terms and conditions.

Walgreens launched its Balance Rewards program in September 2012 against more established programs from competitors like CVS and Rite Aid. Balance Rewards has since become the world's largest consumer loyalty program, despite U.S.-only availability.

1. What is myWalgreens? myWalgreens is free to join and a must-have to unlock Walgreens sale prices. By joining the program, you'll receive 1% Walgreens Cash rewards storewide on eligible purchases (including the pharmacy) and 5% Walgreens Cash rewards on Walgreens branded products.

A rewards program is not a credit card But it is not the same thing. Instead of charging you interest on your purchases like credit cards do, rewards programs allow you to gather up points as you make purchases in a particular store. Once you reach a certain spending threshold, you receive a reward in return.

So for instance colgate toothpaste these were on sale. Last week buy two get a five dollar register award. So i take these up to the register. I pay for them.

Depending on your card and issuer, you may have a number of choices for how you redeem your cash back rewards. Some issuers will even allow you to set up automatic redemptions, meaning your redemption would automatically initiate after a set number of days or after you earn a certain number in rewards.

Once you've made your purchases and have enough cash back saved up, it's quite easy to redeem your rewards. On the card issuer's website, there will typically be a redemption portal where you can see what you've earned and choose how you want to redeem it.

You can:

1. Receive a statement credit. The cash back gets applied to your credit card's balance.
2. Request a check. The issuer sends you a check for your cash back rewards.
3. Transfer rewards to a bank account. The rewards are electronically transferred into a linked bank account.
4. Use your cash rewards as rewards points.

Rewards are important for many reasons: Rewards can encourage your child's good behaviors. The way you respond right after your child's behaviors makes the behavior more or less likely to happen again. Rewards can help get your child to do more of the things you want her to do.
