Adventures Approximately Home: Battle Of The Drug Shop Loyalty Programs


Here inward sunny, Southern California, nosotros select 3 major drug store chains...CVS, Rite Aid, as well as Walgreen's.  We used to select a pair of more, similar SavOn (miss them) as well as Long's, but they were swallowed upward past times the CVS behemoth.


There was also Thrifty, but they were bought out as well as became Rite Aid.  Nothing special virtually the novel store, or it's service, but they did run along the Thrifty H2O ice cream counters as well as all the same serve Thrifty H2O ice cream inward most of our local stores. That is really special to the natives here.


CVS, actually form of a trouble to store hither specially since SavOn was as well as thus slow as well as all the SavOn locations became the 3 missive of the alphabet wonder.  The entirely matter skillful I tin nation virtually them is that they select a branch located across the street from my office, making it slow to stride across the street to larn my occasional 12 pack of diet soda.


 Walgreen's is usally a fairly pleasant house to shop. They also select piddling mini stores where yous tin popular inward as well as out, or become through the drive through to larn your prescriptions. There's ane across the street from our doctor's purpose as well as thus nosotros become in that location for our medicines.

 Each of these also has their ain loyalty programme and, spell I would unremarkably skip them, yous don't larn the sale prices if you're non a member. The lawsuit is we're members of all three.  Here's how they rate:

RITE AID - Other than sale prices, haven't gotten anything from this one. Recently, they changed it to survive component subdivision of Plenti.com. This allows yous to earn points at a bunch of other places that I hardly store at such every bit Exxon/Mobil, Macy's, as well as Hulu. Last fourth dimension I was inward Rite Aid as well as punched inward my shout out upward number, the cashier gave me a novel Plenti card, told me my former trouble organisation human relationship is no longer valid, as well as to become to plenti.com as well as but larn inward my email address to activate. 

Went to Plenti.com to create this as well as it asks for a bunch of other data from the card, which I didn't select handy.  Since I don't become to Rite Aid all that much anymore, I don't know if or when I'll e'er larn closed to to this step.  Feel a flake similar I've been sold downward the river but since it never did that much for me inward the get-go place, I'm a flake ambivalent virtually the whole thing.

CVS - Another ane I signed upward for but because yous can't larn the sale prices without it. Occasionally, coupons volition impress out on my receipt for discounts on items I rareley purchase at CVS. Lately, they've upped the ante maxim if I select my bill of fare inward (usually, I but larn inward the release inward the keypad), scan it inward a piddling machine, I'll larn fifty-fifty to a greater extent than coupons .

 Pass.

Walgreen's - Since nosotros become hither the most, I signed upward for this one, too. It's pretty straightforward.  Earn points on each purchase.  When your ease goes over 5,000 points, yous tin utilization it to pay for things.  Each 5,000 points equals $5 but yous can't cash inward to a greater extent than that $10 at a time.  You fifty-fifty earn points on the copays for your prescriptions.

 You entirely demand your shout out upward release to earn as well as redeem points as well as they transportation yous a ease canvass each month.  Super easy...I intend yous know which loyalty programme keeps me loyal.
