Rite Aid Kicks Off 2016 By Offering Even More Ways to Save for Wellness+ with Plenti Members

Now through January 23, Rite Aid is celebrating the New Year by offering wellness+ with Plenti members a special opportunity to begin accumulating Plenti points for 2016, in addition to regular weekly offers. Customers can earn 1,000 Plenti points on every $30 spent on participating products in stores or online at www.riteaid.com.*

To participate, members of the free wellness+ with Plenti program can look for the yellow "2016 Starting Points" tag on store shelves. These points can be used for at least two years on future savings at Rite Aid and Plenti partners including AT&T, ExxonMobil and Macy's.

“As we kickoff 2016, we wanted to give our most loyal customers an opportunity to get a jump start on earning Plenti points in the new year,” said John Learish, Rite Aid senior vice president of marketing. “By participating in our “2016 Starting Points” promotion, our customers will have the opportunity to earn thousands of Plenti points while shopping for everyday items. For every $30 spent, our shoppers will earn 1,000 Plenti points, worth at least $10 in savings for future purchases.”
