You may recall that back in July, I transferred a $7 prescription to Rite Aid and earned a $25 gift card. I’ve talked a lot about prescription coupons, and how you can sometimes use them to help offset your RX cost or even make a profit. I had one refill left on the Naproxen prescription for my knee problems, so I decided to check out the trading forums on Hot Coupon World and see if I could find a prescription transfer coupon for another local store. (I wrote about trading coupons in-depth recently – click here to read my article if you missed it!) I posted what I was looking for in the forum, and that same afternoon I heard from another member who had a coupon good for a $30 gift card with a transferred prescription at Safeway. I traded $6.44 in PayPal handling fees for the coupon, and received it in the mail a few days later.
Once I received the coupon, I refilled my prescription at Safeway for $12.39 – and received a $30 Safeway gift card! Not only did this essentially pay for my prescription, but I also earned a significant profit: After factoring in the cost of my prescription plus the amount I spent in handling fees for the coupon, I’m still $11.17 ahead! This is a great example of why it’s worth shopping around when you have a prescription to fill. Although Safeway charges almost double what Rite Aid does to fill this same prescription, having an coupon meant that I actually earned a profit by filling my RX there!
I always mean to do this at Rite Aid, then I wait until the last minute and end up calling my pharmacy. Thanks for the reminder. I need to just mark it on my calendar!
Funny you wrote this. I got my prescription transferred and filled yesterday at CVS for 11.99 and got a $25 gift card!
Wow, what a deal! I have thought of having my husband transfer his before to earn rewards.
Way to go, Sheila!
Whitney and Stefani – it’s definitely worthwhile! I would just recommend calling the pharmacy first and checking the price to fill your prescription there, since it does vary greatly. Whitney, Rite Aid has been releasing RX coupons in their sales fliers lately, so definitely keep your eyes peeled for those.
I wish we would get a Rite Aid here…. I’ve been playing the CVS transfer game for quite a while now and they are sick of me. Feeling is mutual lol . Rite Aid needs to come to FLorida.

Where are these 30 dollar gift card offers to transfer prescriptions? when I called the store they said they would honor it, I transferred a bunch of them and then they said no, they had no more coupons, so I dont recommend Safeway, what they say and what they do is a big lie…. I transferred it all back to cvs
best buy gift card coupon…
