I had done the same transaction before but the newbie cashier didn't know how to ring up the raincheck and I ended up paying $14.15 OOP and also using $13 +UP rewards. After rechecking the receipt, the manager decided that the only way to fix the mistake was to redo the transaction. I had reached $17 out of $30 on participating Health and Beauty Products and $84 on Resolution Reward Items. Redoing the transaction got me past the mark and triggered my rewards to print out. I got an extra $30 +UP rewards and $12.14 cash back for the cashier not knowing how to ring up the rainchecks. Thank you and good night....lol
