I have been interested how people can "get paid" to fill perscriptions.
The other day, with perscription and coupon for a $10 gift card in hand I headed to Target. As we arrived I looked down at the coupon and realized it was clearly a K-Mart coupon (what was I thinking!!). Not wanting to waste the trip I decided to see if they would honor it anyway's. They nicely turned me away and said to watch out for their coupons in a few weeks. A little frusterated with my own inability to get the right Store. I stopped at a nearby Rite-aid, in their ad they had coupons for $25 gift cards (on a transferred perscription) I stopped at the entrance and thumbed through the Ad...NO COUPON! I decided to ask anyways and if the answer was yes I would have ran home and then gone back. My first question was could I use the $25 coupon on a new perscription?...Answer...No
2. Would they match K-Marts coupon?.....Answer...No..I would have to go to K-Mart.
So I started to gather my stuff and a Pharmasist (who was following our conversation) stopped me and asked where I was going to get my perscription filled. I said, I guess I'm going to K-Mart. He said in a quiet voice "I'll do it for you" My jaw hit the floor! Really! For the $10 or the $25 ?He said the $25 I then reminded him that I didn't have the coupon he said no worries. Since I am a new customer he would do this for me.
(He reminded me at least twice that this was not normal practice)
So I paid $6 something for my perscription and recieved a $25 gift card. Yahoo!

Hello, I'm Myke Petersen, just moved to Wapato ward and heard about this site in relief society. I just got a coupon in the mail from target, that said if I filled out a baby registry(I'm pregnant) they'd give me a $20 dollar gift certificate. Probably the easiest $20 Dollars I ever made.(even if I don't use the registry.)
