DEFINITIONS:
Register Rewards - This is a coupon that prints out that is good on your next purchase at Walgreens. They have expiration dates, so be sure to use them in the allotted time frame. These are considered manufacturer's coupons. So, if you are using manufacturer's coupons for other things you are buying be sure you have one coupon per item.
Example: Let's say I'm buying a package of Pampers that cost $9.99 and I have a coupon for $1.50 off and I also have a Register Reward worth $5.00. I have to buy another item to use my register reward. I usually get a pencil or something little.
Rebates - Walgreens has a catalog that they put out every month called the "Easy Saver Catalog" In it are coupons and eligible rebates for the month. You can submit your rebates at Walgreens.com and they will send you a check or a giftcard to use. If you choose the giftcard option you will get an additional 10% of whatever you are getting back in rebates that month. Once you receive your giftcard, the next month is a lot easier because you just enter your giftcard number and they will reload your funds onto that card, no more waiting for the mail to come!
