WOONSOCKET, R.I., May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Pharmacy
today announced the company will launch digital receipts as a new
option for all members of its ExtraCare Rewards program. The new
option for digital receipts will roll out in early June and
eventually be available in 7,900 retail locations. Customers will
have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving paper receipts for all
in-store purchases when completing their transactions in the front
of the store. Once the one-time process is completed, customers
will receive receipts digitally, along with their coupons and
rewards, each time they shop at CVS Pharmacy.
The imminent chain-wide arrival of digital receipts was first
unveiled on Friday evening on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, in a
surprise appearance featuring CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes. The show acknowledged the
enthusiastic and passionate feedback shared by millions of
customers – including host Jimmy
Kimmel himself, who has put CVS Pharmacy receipts and
ExtraCare Rewards in the spotlight several times in the past.
Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 11:35|10:35c on
ABC.
To take advantage of digital receipts, customers must complete a
simple, one-time opt-in process in store that includes enrolling in
the ExtraCare Rewards program if they are not already a member, and
providing a valid email address. Customers can do so at the front
register by asking a store associate.
"We are excited to roll out the much-anticipated launch of
digital receipts. We heard loud and clear that while our customers
love receiving coupons and special offers, many wanted a paperless
option," said Helena Foulkes,
President, CVS Pharmacy. "This feature lets our customers continue
to make personalized choices as to how they engage with us, and
will let our members choose to say 'So long!' to the long paper
receipts at check-out."
Once enrolled, ExtraCare members will have all receipts
delivered digitally via email. Members will continue to receive
exclusive benefits, personalized savings offers, available
ExtraBucks Rewards and more, which can be redeemed in store by
using a smartphone, tablet or computer, and then simply selecting
the "send to card" button found next to each offer. Additionally,
all personal preferences are saved for future transactions.
Customers will always be able to specifically request a paper copy
of their receipt at the time of the transaction, if they would like
to receive one.
ExtraBucks Rewards and special offers are also available through
the CVS Pharmacy app, making it easy for interested customers to go
paperless, without having to worry about losing or forgetting paper
rewards and coupons, or missing out on opportunities to save.
The ExtraCare Rewards program is the gold standard among retail
rewards programs and the longest running in the drugstore space
with a 15-year history of providing meaningful rewards to its loyal
member base. Today, the program continues to evolve, offering its
70 million active ExtraCare members personalized value, in store,
online and on-the-go.
