CVS Pharmacy, Inc. is an American retail corporation. A subsidiary of CVS Health, it is headquartered in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. It was also known as, and originally named, the Consumer Value Store and was founded in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1963.
The chain was owned by its original holding company Melville Corporation from its inception until its current parent company (CVS Health) was spun off into its own company in 1996. CVS Pharmacy is currently the largest pharmacy chain in the United States by a number of locations (over 9,600 as of 2016) and total prescription revenue.
CVS introduced the ExtraCare card in 2001, becoming the first national pharmacy retailer to launch a loyalty card program. ExtraCare now has 74 million members.
ExtraCare members can receive 2% back in ExtraBucks rewards moments after nearly every transaction, instead of on a quarterly basis. The 2% back will show up in the CVS App, on CVS.com, and on digital and paper receipts following purchases. Members can use the rewards on their next visit or accumulate them to spend later, within 90 days of each issuance.
ExtraCare also is adding a new birthday reward. Members will now get $3 in ExtraBucks during their birthday month that can be used for the purchase of their own gift from CVS’ assortment of health, wellness, beauty and personal care products, as well as daily essentials and better-for-you foods, the drugstore chain said.
To receive birthday rewards, ExtraCare members must opt-in by sharing their birthday information. The reward is delivered via the members’ preferred communications channels, including email, SMS text and the CVS App.
