Rite Aid’s own pages name no first responder discount, and its pharmacy page says the company is being rebuilt, with prescription services still to come. The one saving route that exists today is cash back through MaxRebates, which lists Rite Aid as an online-purchase store.
If you remember Rite Aid as the drugstore on the corner, its website now tells a different story. The pharmacy page says “Rite Aid is being rebuilt from the ground up,” and that “Prescription services are coming.” It says what’s available right now is a health testing service, described as annual blood panels at 2,000+ locations nationwide, and it invites visitors to leave their details to be notified when pharmacy services relaunch in their area. The page also has a section headed “Looking for your old Rite Aid prescriptions?” This post doesn’t cover that process or any health service, so use the page itself for that.
How To Get The Rite Aid First Responder Discount
There’s no first responder discount to claim from Rite Aid’s side. The pages read were its home page and its pharmacy page, and neither names a first responder, military or group offer. The route that does exist is MaxRebates, which pays cash back after an online purchase. Here’s how it works:
- Create a free MaxRebates account if you don’t have one.
- Search for Rite Aid in MaxRebates’ stores and open its page.
- Choose Shop Now so MaxRebates sends you to Rite Aid’s site, then shop the way you normally would.
- Afterward, check your MaxRebates account to confirm the order tracked.
Check What Rite Aid Is Selling Before You Count On It
MaxRebates lists Rite Aid under Online Purchases. Because Rite Aid says it’s rebuilding and its pharmacy services haven’t relaunched, what you can actually order online may not match what the MaxRebates listing was built around. Look at what Rite Aid’s site lets you buy before you click through, and if an order doesn’t show up in your MaxRebates account, contact MaxRebates rather than assuming it will appear.
MaxRebates says “The Cash Back earnings are based on the final purchase amount, excluding tax, shipping and the amount saved through coupons.” It also says “Coupon codes from other sites than MaxRebates may void Cash Back earnings” and that returning or canceling part or all of your orders may void them. Start from MaxRebates every time, and skip codes you picked up elsewhere unless you’ve checked what they do to your cash back.
What To Watch With The Cash Back
This post doesn’t print a figure, because MaxRebates changes its rates. Check the number on MaxRebates’ Rite Aid page the day you order. MaxRebates also says all rates are subject to change and at the merchant’s discretion. If you’re thinking about filling a prescription, Rite Aid’s own page is the place to see whether that’s available yet, and your doctor’s office or a nearby pharmacy can tell you where to take a new prescription in the meantime.
