1. Does Rite Aid Price Match Competitors?
No. Rite Aid does not honor competitor advertisements from outside of a store’s local area. However, price matches still could be processed at some Rite Aid stores.
Instead of a strict corporate policy, Rite Aid leaves this decision up to individual store managers. Store managers have the flexibility to decide on price match requests based on what works best for their location and customers.
2. Does Rite Aid Offer Price Adjustments?
Unfortunately, Rite Aid doesn’t mention explicitly a price adjustment policy for an item you’ve already purchased that later goes on sale. You just can return the item within 90 days of the original purchase and then purchase it again at the lower price.
3. Price Matching Between In-store and Online Purchases
Rite Aid strives to provide its customers with the best prices possible both on RiteAid.com and in local stores. However, sometimes a price online does not match the price in a store, and prices may vary between stores.
Rite Aid local stores will honor RiteAid.com price, if these following conditions are qualified:
-
Pricing resulting from a typographical error, previous weeks pricing, contact lenses, photo, pharmacy, and health services are excluded.
-
Items must be identical in brand name, description, size, weight, color, quantity, and model number.
-
Stores will not issue rain checks if the product is out of stock.
-
Digital screenshots or printed images are not accepted as proof.
-
Customers may request multiple price matches in a day.
-
Stores may limit the number of adjustments allowed in a single transaction.
-
Price match requirements subject to change.
4. Rite Aid’s Return Policy
Most items purchased at Rite Aid stores can be returned within 90 days from the date of receipt. For return eligibility, items should ideally be in their original condition and packaging.
To ensure a smooth return, you should bring your receipt or proof of purchase, as well as the original payment method.
-
If a customer does not have their receipt but can provide their Rite Aid Rewards card or phone number used during the original purchase, Rite Aid can look up the transaction 48 hours after the purchase date.
-
If you don’t have a receipt or Rite Aid Rewards card information used at the time of purchase, photo ID is required. Returns without receipt or card will receive the lowest promotion price in the last 45 days.
Items cannot be refunded:
-
Prepaid cards, Gift Cards or Money Services
-
Lottery Tickets
Conclusion
Does Rite Aid price match? For in-store to online prices, yes. But for competitor retailers, it depends on the decision of Rite Aid’s store managers in your local area. If you have proof of a lower price from another retailer, it’s still worth asking. While price matching is a specific and limited policy at Rite Aid, it is still a strong choice for pharmacy service and special loyalty programs.
