products
STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF),
a premier consumer financial services company, and Albertsons
Companies, Inc., a leading food and drug retailer, today announced
the acceptance of the CareCredit health and wellness credit
card in nearly 2,200 Albertsons Cos. stores including Albertsons,
Safeway, Vons, ACME, Shaw's and Jewel-Osco.
"At Synchrony, we know our families' health and wellness is not
just pursued at the doctor's office but is also found at our local
grocery store," says Beto Casellas,
Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Health and
Wellness at Synchrony. "By expanding the CareCredit network through
this new offering with Albertsons Cos., we are helping to ensure
that consumers have more options to pay for their health and
wellness products in a way that's convenient for them."
CareCredit cardholders are now able to use their card at most
Albertsons Cos. stores for select health and wellness items
including pharmacy (prescriptions, deductibles); qualified
over-the-counter health products (first aid, vitamins, cold and
allergy medications); select personal care (oral care, ear and eye
care, hygiene); select beauty and hair care; select pet food and
supplies; and qualified baby essentials (diapers, formula).
"At Albertsons Cos., we are continually broadening our
relationships to ensure our customers have more options,
flexibility and convenient ways to access prescriptions; personal,
pet and baby care essentials; over-the-counter products; and other
necessary items," said Irina
Pelphrey, Group Vice President of Health at Albertsons Cos.
"Through our collaboration with CareCredit, cardholders can now
shop at their preferred local Albertsons Cos. grocery store for the
products they need on their health and wellness journey."
Synchrony is committed to making health and wellness products
and services more accessible for consumers. In June 2023, Synchrony announced the expansion of
its financing programs across the wellness industry, allowing
CareCredit cardholders to use CareCredit to pay for preventative
care and services like nutrition and weight loss programs, holistic
and lifestyle care like acupuncture, chiropractic care and
counseling at locations in the CareCredit network.
"Synchrony is committed to providing our cardholders with a
robust set of locations to use the CareCredit credit card to
advance their health and wellness, and we are excited to partner
with Albertsons Cos., a leading food and drug retailer in our
communities," said Erin Gadhavi,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wellness at Synchrony.
"As we look for ways to expand the utility of our card, we look
forward to bringing on the reach of Albertsons Cos.' pharmacies and
stores as a valuable addition to the CareCredit network."
Synchrony's CareCredit credit card is an efficient way
for people to pay for out-of-pocket healthcare costs and health and
wellness products at select retail locations in a manner that works
for themselves and their families.
