Target is great about taking their own coupons with no hassle and no limitation. As long as you have a separate coupon for each prescription you bring them (new or transferred), they'll gladly give you a $10 gift card.
Coupon is in their sales flyer this week that was in Sunday papers today and available at their customer service desk through Saturday.
EXPIRES: 3-1-2010
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU USE THESE? CVS, Kmart, Giant Eagle (one competitor coupon per 6 months); Kroger (1 per day until they tell you have used up your lifetime quota).

Kmart: Up to $100 gift card; $25 on each of up to 4 Rx transfers; expires 4/10
In addition to the ad included in their sales flyer two weekends ago, Kmart has new Pharmacy brochures at their stores that feature FOUR (4) coupons -- each that will give you up to a $25 gift card for transfer of a prescription to Kmart.
These are available at some of the checkout counters at Kmart on Bethel Road in Columbus. You might also ask for one at Pharmacy counter.
EXPIRES: 4/10/2010
LIMITATIONS: Four per day/week depending on pharmacist. Some are less/more picky about how many you can use per day/week.
Also, fine print on back stipulates that amount added to gift card will not be more than total price paid for prescription (co-pay, if any, PLUS the amount billed to insurance). Therefore, if you pay $5 and the insurance pays $15, you get $20 gift card. But if you pay $10 and the insurance pays $15 or more, you get the full $25 gift card. Your co-pay can be ZERO and you can still get the full $25 gift card as long as the insurance company is paying $25 or more for your prescription.
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU USE? CVS, Giant Eagle, and Kroger. CVS is the best place to go. They have no limitations at this time on accepting competitor coupons (at least in Central Ohio) and even accept them on refills (not just new/transferred prescriptions). Giant Eagle has ONE PER 6 MONTHS limitation on competitor coupons right now; Kroger for the past few years has been accepting just ONE per day ... and, more sadly, banning customers from using any Rx coupons for life after they think they've used too many. Ask for a copy of their competitor coupon policy (as they promised Better Business Bureau they would provide upon demand after consumer complaint).
Kroger $20 Rx coupon for transfer; in BAG; expires 3/27 (use at CVS, Kmart, Giant Eagle)
In the bag that arrived on my front door step today, there's a special Kroger ad that says "Kroger Pharmacy: Your Center for Health Living" on front of the 4-page ad. On the back page is a coupon that says: "Get $20 in free groceries when you transfer your prescription to Kroger!" You need to take that coupon along with your KrogerPlus card and a prescription to transfer from a non-Kroger pharmacy to redeem.
EXPIRES: 3/27/10
LIMITATIONS: Limit (1) one per household.
Kroger also limits the number of Rx coupons that can be used at their pharmacy on a "lifetime" level in the Great Lakes region that includes Columbus, Cleveland, and Detroit. At some point, they can tell you they will no longer accept any Rx coupons from you -- those from competitors or even those they issue. This happened to a friend of mine.
But you can take these to CVS, Kmart, or Giant Eagle. They accept competitor coupons. Keep in mind that Giant Eagle currently has a one per 6 month limit on competitor coupons.
My recommendation: Get the coupon and take it to CVS. In Central Ohio, CVS will even let you use competitor coupons on refills. So you won't have to keep transferring your prescription to use coupons like this.
FINDING THIS COUPON: There are lots of "bags" out there. This one was delivered today (2/13) in the Upper Arlington area of Columbus. Sometimes these special Kroger pharmacy ads with coupons are not included in the bags in ALL zipcodes/circulation areas of town when they come out. This particular bag has "TheBagLady" at top above TheBag.com and logo. One side has big ad for Save a Lot (and coupon for free gallon of milk). The other side has big ad for Bargain Outlet.

Tips from "Grocery Coupon Guide" blog re: Rx coupons
Read tips from "Grocery Coupon Guide" blog about "Pharmacy Coupon Rewards" and how to find them ... as well as tips about asking doctor for NEW prescriptions more often (vs. one a year with lots of refills) as many of the coupons require purchase to be NEW if you want to avoid having to do the "Rx Ping-Pong" game of transferring your prescriptions from one pharmacy to another and then back to be "transfer eligible." (as described at http://RxPingPong.blogspot.com)
Also, they have another story about finding Prescription Drug Rx Coupons" issued by drug manufacturing companies. Some offer a significant discount on your co-pay (50%). There's a list in the story. They also point to a longer list of some that are available.
The story mentions that some of these are obtainable by asking your doctor, pharmacist, or visiting the website of the manufacturer of the medication.

Target $10 gift card with NEW or Transferred Rx, Expires 1/25/20101, no limits on #
Target sales flyers this week (in today's newspaper and available at customer service desk of stores until Saturday) contain a coupon that's worth:
$10 gift card with any NEW or Transferred prescription.
NO LIMITS on NUMBER of new/transferred prescriptions you can take to them ... make sure you have a coupon for each one. And, as it says on coupon, of course: "Limit one coupon per prescription." But if you take them 7 prescriptions (perhaps 5 transfers from some other chain plus 2 new scripts) and you bring 7 coupons, then they'll honor giving you $70 in gift cards. At least they've never hassled me whatsoever in that regard. In fact, they've consistently been the best about taking their own Rx coupons ... and not imposing ever-changing and often arbitrary restrictive policies (one per day, one per household, one per 6 months, one per transaction, or 3 to 4 per life). Thanks, Target! :-)
EXPIRES: 1/25/2010.
FINE PRINT: Just the "Limit one coupon per prescription and usual stuff about not valid with transfers from other Target locations and that they can't honor in states where illegal or where meds are paid for by government-subsidized plans."
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU USE THESE? CVS, Kmart, Kroger and Giant Eagle. Details about which pharmacies accept COMPETITOR coupons and with what policies/restrictions listed at http://matrix.Rx4Less.net.

Kmart $10 gift card with NEW or Transferred Rx
Kmart sales flyers that came out today (in newspapers and available in rack at front of stores) have a wrap-around that sports on the front of it an Rx coupon.
For both NEW and Transferred prescriptions, you can use these to get a $10 gift card.

LIMITATIONS: Says "Limit one certificate per customer;" however, most locations/pharmacists will let you use one per day/week ... especially if some of the drugs you're bringing them are $80 copays with your insurance paying the other $240 of that $320 drug.
FINE PRINT: "Gift card amount shall equal the amount paid for the prescription (co-pay plus amount billed to insurance).
---> So, if your co-pay is only $4 but you're buying a drug that costs $10 (or more) and the insurance is paying the rest, you still get the full $10 gift card. If co-pay is $5 and insurance is only having to pay another $1 on a $6 drug, you get a $6 gift card.
