CVS has finally gone digital with receipts! For me, that’s a good thing as I can tell you I can get some VERY hefty receipts that make the cashiers laugh and go, “WOW!” And I actually used to feel kind of guilty using all that paper! Do you have a CVS receipt story? Please share!
The new option for digital receipts is rolling out and will 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.
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.
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.
