$10 +UP Reward from last weeks shopping trip

Total after Coupons $4.96 (including tax $5.96)

I received a $5 UP+ reward but should have received 2 more $5 +UP Rewards.  I proceeded with transaction 2 shown below even though the +UP Rewards did not print.  I just called Rite Aid this morning and spoke with them about the Rewards not printing and they are sending them in the mail to me.  I will also be submitting the UPCs and receipts for the Arm & Hammer Spin Brush rebate.  Since I bought 2 Spin Brushes from this CVS trip, and 8 from transaction 1, I am eligible for a $10 rebate.  You can find the rebate in the Smart Source insert from the 12/11/11 newspaper.

When all is said and done this is a great money maker with $5.96 out of pocket, a $10 rebate, and a $15 in +UP rewards.  It ends up being around a $19 money maker.

Earned the following +UP rewards: $3 from Lysol No Touch, $1 from Orbit, $1 from Hershey/Dove, and $1 from Hershey/Dove. I am not sure why 2 printed you are supposed to buy 2 and get a $1 +UP and I only bought 3.  I guess today was my lucky day.

When all is said and done after I receive the $10 Arm and Hammer rebate and $10 UP+ Rewards that did not print this will have been a $10.57 money maker after transaction 2.
