CVS Pharmacy® ExtraCare® Program Terms

these terms contain a mandatory arbitration of disputes provision that requires use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

Last Updated: December 1, 2022

These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern the CVS Pharmacy ExtraCare Program, including, as available, participation in the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards® program (collectively, the "ExtraCare Program"). The ExtraCare Program is operated by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. ("CVS," or "we"). By enrolling in the ExtraCare Program, you ("you" or "ExtraCare member") agree to be bound by these Terms. CVS® reserves the right to change these Terms or any aspect of the ExtraCare Program at any time.

To enable certain benefits of the ExtraCare Program, you must have an active CVS.com account with a completed profile. You must link your ExtraCare card to your CVS.com account to get credit for online activities. Access to and use of CVS.com and associated services is subject to the CVS.com Terms of Use, which are incorporated in these Terms by reference.

  1. enrollment

    There is no fee associated with the ExtraCare Program. To enroll, you must provide the requested information by registering online at CVS.com, in the CVS Pharmacy app or at a participating CVS Pharmacy location (some benefits may vary for non‐digital users). ExtraCare members may additionally enroll in the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards program described below. CVS reserves the right to limit or modify enrollment at any time and to accept or refuse participation at our discretion. Members may sign up for their own ExtraCare card. It is permissible for member cards to become household cards for family members to share. Some ExtraCare offers limit per card, others per household. Participation in the ExtraCare Program is personal and non‐transferable. Only natural persons transacting in their personal capacity and ages 18+ are eligible to participate (minors and pets are permitted to participate via householding for some programs). No business entities, third‐party aggregators, organizations or groups may register for the ExtraCare Program, or receive or redeem ExtraBucks Rewards® or other benefits.

    See our Privacy Policy regarding use of personal information. You agree to provide true, accurate and current contact information, and CVS is not responsible for your inability to receive or redeem benefits or other losses if you fail to do so.

You must present your ExtraCare card (physical or digital) or registered account phone number ("Account Information") every time you shop to receive the following benefits:

    • 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards on qualifying purchases. ExtraCare members receive 2% in ExtraBucks Rewards on qualifying purchases.

Your rewards experience may vary depending on how you choose to access your ExtraBucks Rewards:
      • - For CVS Pharmacy app and CVS.com users: ExtraBucks Rewards accrue with every transaction of 50¢ or more, and you can choose to redeem your rewards on your next purchase or allow your rewards to accumulate. Rewards for qualifying purchases are made available in the CVS Pharmacy app or through CVS.com. Any ExtraBucks Rewards over $1 that are unused and have not been sent to your ExtraCare card will be reissued to you on your print receipt at the end of each calendar quarter. Aggregate reward values that are under $1 will not be reissued as one coupon. Reward values issued that are in total less than $1 will remain in our app and on CVS.com as individual coupons.
      • - For members whose ExtraCare card numbers are not linked to the CVS Pharmacy app or CVS.com: Those who do not elect to redeem rewards using a digital method will receive a quarterly printout of their accumulated rewards balance. A minimum $50 purchase over the course of 90 days is required to accrue rewards.

Your ExtraCare earnings will be based on in‐store shelf pricing for then‐current purchase in the store shopped, which may vary slightly versus Delivery Marketplace pricing, and exclude any delivery or other fees charged by the Delivery Marketplace vendor. CVS is not responsible for errors in entry or processing of ExtraCare numbers for Delivery Marketplace purchases. ExtraCare earnings for Delivery Marketplace purchases will be shown on CVS.com or in the CVS Pharmacy app. ExtraCare earnings for Delivery Marketplace purchases will be shown on CVS.com or in the CVS Pharmacy app and may take up to 48 hours to appear.

  3. extracare pharmacy and health rewards program

    ExtraCare members are eligible to enroll in the free ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards program. You must sign a Privacy Authorization to join the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards Program, which allows CVS Pharmacy to use and share your personal information, to administer the program and to send you communications. Obtaining your authorization is required by the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"), the federal law that creates certain rights for your protected health information, as well as similar state laws in many states. Adults 18 years or older must sign their Privacy Authorization individually, but parents or guardians may sign for children under 18. If you revoke your Privacy Authorization, participation in the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards Program is terminated and any existing Rewards accumulated purchases will be removed from your ExtraCare Program record.

    By enrolling, you will earn credits by purchasing eligible prescriptions or engaging in an eligible activity (as described below) at a CVS Pharmacy location in the United States. You will receive $5 Pharmacy & Health ExtraBucks Rewards® when you accumulate 10 credits. Ways to earn credits toward your ExtraBucks Rewards include, but are not limited to:

    • Purchasing a 30 day supply of an eligible prescription (one credit).
    • Purchasing a 90 day supply of an eligible prescription (three credits).
    • Receiving a flu shot, COVID-19 vaccination or other vaccination from a CVS certified immunizer (three credits).

    • Enrolling a family member or pet on your ExtraCare card in the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards program (one credit per enrollment, limited to five per ExtraCare card).

    CVS may make modifications to this list, including adding eligible activities or determining that an activity is no longer eligible to earn credits, at any time. If any new activities will use or disclose different information than initially authorized, you will be asked to opt in before CVS Pharmacy will use or disclose such information. If you earn more than 10 credits, your ExtraBucks Rewards may not be issued on the same date.

    Each individual on a household ExtraCare account can earn up to $50 Pharmacy & Health ExtraBucks Rewards in a calendar year. Rewards balances will be reset on December 31 each year. When individuals join the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards Program as a family and share an ExtraCare card, their credits will be consolidated and the ExtraBucks Rewards will be issued when the combined total accumulated consolidated credits is 10. Each individual's earned credits will be separately tracked for purposes of determining annual ExtraBucks Rewards value. The ExtraBucks Rewards will be issued to the ExtraCare card associated with the eligible activity that earns the ExtraBucks Rewards. Credits earned for receiving a flu shot are not counted toward the $50 Pharmacy & Health ExtraBucks Rewards limit.

    For information about your accumulated credits, please check your CVS Pharmacy receipt, the CVS Pharmacy app or call 1-800-shop cvs 1-800-746-7287 (TTY:711)

  11. dispute resolution

    except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and cvs (or its suppliers or vendors), whether the dispute is based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved in final, binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in court by a judge or a jury. you agree that cvs and you each waive the right to trial by a jury and that the federal arbitration act ("faa") and federal arbitration law, not state law, governs the enforceability of this dispute resolution provision. you also agree that any arbitration under these terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you agree to give up the ability to bring or participate in a class action.

    for any and all disputes or claims you have, you must first give cvs an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to a cvs registered agent at this address:

    CVS Pharmacy, Inc.

    c/o CT Corporation System

    450 Veterans Memorial Parkway, Suite 7A

    East Providence, RI 02914

    You and CVS each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and we are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive your claim description and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with us during that time. If we are unable to resolve your claim within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or CVS may start arbitration or small claims court proceedings.

    Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration RulesOpens in a new tab (also available by calling 1-800-778-7879 (TTY:711)), as amended by these Terms. We will pay or reimburse arbitration filing, administration and arbitrator fees. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court of law could, including temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief on an individual basis.

If any other provision of this Dispute Resolution provision is found unenforceable, the other parts of it shall continue to apply. You reserve your ability to bring claims in small claims court to the extent of that court's jurisdiction. These Terms, all transactions related to the ExtraCare Program, and all related matters are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws rules.
