Bargain of the Week

Get $10 Back on a $25 Walgreens Store Purchase with Google Pay

Until December 31, if you (1) download and install Google Pay (GPay) on your phone, (2) associate a credit card with it, (3) have your card issuer activate the connection between Google Pay and your card, (4) select/activate the $10 back on $25+ offer in GPay from Walgreens, and finally (5) spend $25 or more in-store using your linked card OR GPay, you will get back a $10 credit. Oddly, the promotion says you do not have to use GPay at the store... somehow the system will recognize your linked/enrolled card when used.
