Be Well Guide Canada 2026

Turn every Rexall visit into serious savings — from prescriptions to protein bars. Unlock boosters, pool family points, and redeem like a pro with our actionable, Canadian-focused guide.

Shopper tapping Be Well card at a Rexall checkout to earn points in Canada

Drugstore prices continue to climb in Canada, but Rexall’s Be Well rewards program gives shoppers one of the few remaining ways to claw back real cash value every week. Whether you buy prescriptions, beauty, or everyday groceries, Be Well points stack fast if you know when and how to strike.

Why listen? We’ve analyzed loyalty math across every major chain (see our Canadian pharmacy savings guide) and turned those insights into this no-fluff, up-to-date playbook.

Be Well Program Overview

How to Join

Download the Be Well app or grab a free card in-store. Provide basic info, verify email, and score an instant 2 000-point sign-up bonus (worth ≈ $0.80).

Where You Earn

Collect at Rexall, Rexall PharmaPlus, online at Well.ca, and through rotating partner offers inside the app.

Point Math

Base rate: 10 pts/$1 retail, 25 pts per prescription. Boosters multiply base —e.g., 20× = 200 pts/$1 (≈80 ¢ back on $10 spend).

Redemption Basics

Redeem in-store at checkout: 25 000 pts = $10 off. Cash out in $10 increments up to $50 per transaction. Works on sale items, not gift cards or lotto.

Base earn rate 10 pts per $1. Prescription earn not included in this tool.

Mastering Be Well in 5 Moves

Download Be Well for iOS or Android, or pick up a physical card at Rexall. Create an account, verify your email, and instantly bank 2 000 pts. In the app’s Settings → Offers toggle on booster notifications so you never miss a multiplier.

The barcode on the bottom of your receipt normally auto-loads points within minutes. If it fails, use the “Add Missing Points” flow in the app: snap a photo, enter total, and submit within 7 days. This safeguard alone rescues thousands of points for heavy shoppers annually.

At the pharmacy counter ask staff to attach Be Well to all household profiles. Each prescription nets 25 pts and counts toward boosters. You can pool up to 4 family cards for faster redemptions—great for households juggling multiple medications.

On Wednesdays, Rexall drops its flyer. Open it in Flipp (or inside Be Well) and pair sale items with that week’s booster. Example: Buy two $14 vitamins during a 40× promo: earn 11 200 pts (≈$4.48) plus any manufacturer coupon discount. Effective rebate can exceed 30%.

Be Well often runs “Spend $40 get 10 000 pts” events. If you already plan a $40 shop, redeem 25 000 pts to slash the total, then you’ll still collect the 10 000 pts booster—cutting your effective point cost nearly in half.

Advanced Be Well Strategies

Stack Coupons with 40× Boosters

Manufacturer coupons are accepted at Rexall. Use a $4 printable on toothpaste during a 40× booster: pay less at the till and still earn 400 pts/$1 on the pre-coupon price—an effective rebate of 32 % when combined.

Gift-Card Double-Dip

Buy Rexall gift cards on 20× weekends to earn 200 pts/$1. Pay with those cards on Seniors’ Day (20 % off) to save again. Result: 20 % instant discount plus ≈0.8 ¢/pt in value back on the gift-card purchase.

RBC Avion Transfers

RBC Avion credit cards now allow 100 Avion = 80 Be Well. If you value Avion at 1.25 ¢, your Be Well cost is ≈1 ¢ /pt. Transfer during Rexall’s “30 % bonus” promo and you drive that cost down to 0.77 ¢/pt.

Abandoned Cart Email Hack

Add $60 of beauty to your Well.ca cart while logged in, then close the tab. Within 24 h, many users receive a “Come back for 10 000 pts” email. Combine that with a free-shipping code for stacked value.

Never Let Points Expire

Be Well points never lapse as long as you earn or redeem once every 24 months. Set a yearly calendar reminder or enable the app’s “Streaks” feature which nudges you if no activity is detected for 10 months.

Be Well FAQ (Canada 2026)

Pair a 40× booster with a $40 shop on high-margin items (vitamins or cosmetics). You’ll earn 16 000 pts in one go. Add two prescriptions (25 pts each) and a free 2 000-pt sign-up bonus, and you breach 25 000 pts in a single week.

Yes. Log in with the same email used in the Be Well app before checkout. You’ll collect 10 pts per $1 plus any booster that specifically lists Well.ca. Points post within 72 hours of shipment, not order placement.

No. Unlike some grocery programs, Be Well’s 25-point prescription credit is provincially approved across Canada. You can’t redeem points toward Rx co-pays, but you can still collect for each fill as long as your card is linked.

Yes. Use the “Add Missing Points” option in the app within 7 days. Enter receipt total and upload photos; points usually post within 48 hours. Beyond 7 days support can’t manually credit, so set a reminder right after your shop.

Boosters are “limited quantity” offers. When national redemption hits capacity they vanish, even before the displayed expiry. Shop early Thursday or Friday—Rexall loads fresh boosters mid-week—and enable push alerts to pounce quickly.

Usually, yes. Earn Be Well points at the till, then upload your receipt to Checkout 51 or Caddle for extra cash back. Unless a rebate specifically excludes coupons & loyalty, this “triple stack” is entirely within program rules.
