Rite Aid: Wellness Changes Beginning January 2012!

I've been waiting to post that Rite Aid is making changes until I found something that has been verified by Rite Aid. 

AThriftyMom seems to have relable info:

Rite Aid has announced that it is making some changes to the Wellness program, starting January 2012.

This is what I gathered from reading this press release.

Some of these changes will be:

• Coupons loaded to the card in an e-coupon fashion, program will be called the Load2Card. You will able to load these e-coupons each week. You will have access to over $100 worth of coupon that will deduct as you purchase the qualifying product. PLUS they will STILL accept paper manufacture coupons.
• UP Rewards will still print on receipts and be redeemable as cash just as they have been.

Other changes quoted straight from the press release

• Also new in 2012, when members reach 500 points, they’ll earn a wellness reward of their choice, such as a gym membership, health/fitness magazine subscription or health screening. All members will receive notification of reward eligibility and redemption details on their register receipt and by email.                                       

• Members of wellness+ will also be able to enjoy three tiers of savings and rewards in 2012. Adding to the gold and silver wellness+ membership tiers, Rite Aid has created a brand new bronze tier for members who reach 250 points in a single year. Bronze tier members will receive 10 percent off all Rite Aid brand products every day as well as a one-time 10 percent off shopping pass for use in the store.

• The silver and gold tier point levels will stay the same at 500 and 1,000 points respectively. Upon reaching 500 points, silver members receive 10 percent off all qualifying non-prescription purchases every day. After reaching 1,000 points, gold members receive 20 percent off all qualifying non-prescriptions every day. Anyone who reaches silver or gold status by the end of 2011 will retain their status throughout 2012.

• To take advantage of these changes you will need to log on to www.riteaid.com and activate your wellness card and you can then you can load the e-coupons starting on or before January 2012.

Personally I think this will be nice enhancements to the program that I really like.
