Our Verdict
Could be interesting for those who shop there, especially the Walgreen’s deal. If anyone can verify that Walgreen’s gift cards work on prescriptions, let us know. (Update: in the comments here, readers say you can not use a Walgreen’s gift card for prescriptions, though online I’ve seen conflicting reports. I’d be surprised if it does not work, but what do I know.)
YMMV. Walgreens physical gift cards can be problematic in that you usually can’t combine them with the coupons they give you at the cash register. One or the other, not both, in the same transaction.
Fandango gift cards at Sam’s Club are $39 for $50
Physical gift cards work for prescriptions in store, but only one per payment. In the past e-gift cards used to work too. I haven’t been able to use e gift cards for any in-store purchases. Not sure if it’s a temporary glitch or permanent.
Source: I used a physical card for rx last week
Not true. I just used 2 e-gift cards in pharmacy today. Got 2 scanned back to back. Doing these for years and never issue except cashiers who don’t know how to process gift card transaction.
I definitely was able to pay for a Walgreens prescription in store with a physical gift card in 2020, but I have not tried it since. I also did not try a digital gift card.
Works just fine, just did today.
How long will the deal last? Anyone knows?
Since it’s not deal of the day, probably longer than a day but would buy asap. I just purchased 3x$50.
Doesn’t work on prescriptions.
Not true, just did today.
Just called Walgreens. You can NOT use a Walgreens gift card to pay for Rx.
CVS gift card works on prescription
What about photo center??
Not true. Just purchased today.
That’s the only way I pay for Walgreens prescriptions.
