A Privacy Authorization is required if you want to earn rewards for your pharmacy activities. The Privacy Authorization allows the ExtraCare® program to access information about your pharmacy activities. Without an authorization, the ExtraCare program is unable to calculate and track rewards earned.
No. Household members sharing the same ExtraCare® card will only be able to see the membership status for those who have joined, how many credits and rewards have been earned and how they were earned. Specific medication information will not be visible.
CVS Pharmacy® will use the prescription number, store number, date of birth and ExtraCare® card number to properly match online users with ExtraCare membership to ensure that earnings and rewards are recorded for the correct person.
Canceling your Privacy Authorization will automatically end your participation in the rewards at the pharmacy benefit. You will no longer earn ExtraBucks Rewards for your prescription purchases. Opt out of rewards the pharmacy.
You can opt in to earn rewards at the pharmacy online or in person at the pharmacy counter when picking up prescriptions.
Earning rewards at the pharmacy is a benefit of our ExtraCare program, so an ExtraCare card is required to access these rewards. If you don't have an ExtraCare card, join ExtraCare. Then you can opt in to earn rewards at the pharmacy.
Yes. You can keep sharing the same card. However, only those family members who sign the Privacy Authorization and opt in will earn rewards at the pharmacy.
Rewards can’t be earned for prescriptions purchased in Arkansas, New Jersey or New York; on any prescriptions for controlled substances purchased in Hawaii or Louisiana; or on any prescriptions transferred to a CVS Pharmacy® in Alabama, Mississippi or Oregon.
Yes. Your earnings will be applied to the ExtraCare® card that was used when you opted in.
No. While you earn credits individually, the rewards will be paid out once the combined total of credits on the card reaches 4. $2 ExtraBucks Rewards will be available approximately one week after every 4 credits earned.
ExtraBucks Rewards® will print on the receipt or at the ExtraCare® Coupon Center. If you have an online account with us, rewards can be accessed on CVS.com® or on the CVS Pharmacy® app and must be sent to your card to redeem.
ExtraBucks Rewards can be redeemed in store or online. They cannot be used to pay for alcohol, bottle deposits, bus passes, copays, ephedrine/pseudoephedrine products, gift cards, hunting and fishing licenses, lottery tickets, magazines, milk (where required by law or regulation), money orders, newspapers, postage stamps, prepaid cards, prescriptions, any imposed governmental fees and items reimbursed by a government health plan.
The $50 limit is only for rewards earned from pharmacy activities.
No. All balances reset at the end of each calendar year.
ExtraBucks Rewards® expiration dates may vary. Always check the expiration date on each specific coupon issued.
Rewards earned at the pharmacy will expire 30 days after they are made available to use.
Even though rewards tracking at the pharmacy will happen automatically after opting in, we encourage you to use your ExtraCare card or enter your phone number to make sure you get the credits, promotional pricing and 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards® on qualifying purchases.
Members receive 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards on qualifying purchases from CVS®.
We give you an ExtraBucks Rewards coupon in the CVS Pharmacy® app and on CVS.com® every time you shop. You need to send your rewards to your ExtraCare® card. Choose to spend them next time or watch them add up — your choice!
ExtraCare members who do not elect to redeem rewards digitally — through our app or CVS.com — will continue to receive a quarterly printout of their accumulated rewards balance (minimum purchase may apply). For digital users, ExtraBucks Rewards that are unused and have not been sent to their ExtraCare card will be reissued on a printed coupon at the end of the quarter (minimum balance may apply).
You can also earn 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards on qualifying CVS purchases made on Instacart and Shipt.
If you make CVS purchases on Instacart and Shipt and provide your ExtraCare card number, you can see your rewards in the CVS Pharmacy app or on CVS.com. ExtraCare earnings for delivery marketplace purchases will be shown on CVS.com or in our app and may take up to 48 hours to appear. Send rewards to your card to use on your next in-store or CVS.com purchase.
Remember, you won’t earn 2% back on these products and services: alcohol, bag fees, bottle deposits, bus and transit passes, copays, certain CVS Optical® purchases, CVS Photo purchases (in store or online), CVS promotional items, donations, ephedrine/pseudoephedrine products, ExtraCare Plus™ membership fees, faxes, gift cards, hunting and fishing licenses, lottery tickets, magazines, milk (where required by law or regulation), money orders, newspapers, packaging services, photo copies, postage stamps, prepaid cards, prepaid phones and accessories, prescriptions, purchases fulfilled by DoorDash or other third-party delivery marketplaces, Rug Doc rentals, and any imposed governmental fees or items reimbursed by a government health plan.
We’re always listening to member feedback and we heard that some members preferred a larger payout on their receipts. All receipts will now let you know to check the CVS Pharmacy® app for your 2% back rewards balance.
If you want faster access to your 2% back rewards, go to our app or CVS.com® to send them to card to redeem next time you shop. ExtraBucks Rewards that are unused and have not been sent to your ExtraCare® card will be reissued on a printable coupon at the end of the quarter. Aggregate rewards that are under $1 will not be reissued as one coupon. Reward values issued that are less than $1 in total will remain in our app and on CVS.com as individual coupons.
If you do not redeem rewards digitally through our app or CVS.com, you'll receive a quarterly printout of accumulated rewards balance (a minimum purchase may apply). Also, members who do not access their 2% rewards in the app or on CVS.com by the quarterly payout date will no longer have access to coupon values that total less than $1.
You may not have used your ExtraCare® card when you made your purchase. If you don't have your card, you can use the phone number that's associated with your membership when you shop in a store.
If you used your card and still didn't receive rewards, your purchase or payment may not have qualified. Also, there may be earning limits if we suspect fraud: For example, there will be a limit of $5 ExtraBucks Rewards earned for any single transaction, with a maximum of five qualifying transactions and $25 ExtraBucks Rewards per day per card.
Here are some of the exclusions: alcohol, bag fees, bottle deposits, bus and transit passes, copays, certain CVS Optical® purchases, CVS® Photo purchases (in store or online), CVS promotional items, donations, ephedrine/pseudoephedrine products, ExtraCare Plus™ membership fees, faxes, gift cards, hunting and fishing licenses, lottery tickets, magazines, milk (where required by law or regulation), money orders, newspapers, packaging services, photo copies, postage stamps, prepaid cards, prepaid phones and accessories, prescriptions, purchases fulfilled by DoorDash or other third-party delivery marketplaces, Rug Doc rentals, and any imposed governmental fees or items reimbursed by a government health plan.
Your purchase may not have met the minimum $0.50 cents required to accrue rewards accessible in the app or on CVS.com® or $1 to accrue rewards accessible on printed and digital receipts.
Additionally, make sure you are using the latest version of the CVS Pharmacy® app. If you are using an outdated version of the app and your reward value is under $1, your coupon may show as $0 in the app. To fix this, update your CVS Pharmacy app to the latest version and your earnings should be available. You can check if you're not on the latest version by visiting CVS Pharmacy in the Google or Apple Play store.
