Our Verdict
Nice freebie for trying out Amazon Pharmacy. I’ve used them before successfully. It just doesn’t work well for when you want a prescription filled immediately, but otherwise I was happy with them.
Hat tip to reader Bockrr
We used Amazon pharmacy before this promo (we got no promo). What’s interesting is that my hubby’s Amazon pharmacy insurance pricing was HIGHER than our pricing with no insurance & Amazon Prime for a common, lowest price-tier drug. It was like $4.99 for a 30 day supply (Blue Cross/Blue Shield only pays for 30 days at a time) or $9.99 for a 90 day supply from Amazon directly with a Prime member discount. I think without any ‘discount’, the prescription price was like $50-$100. My hubby went the 90 day supply WITHOUT INSURANCE route. And my hubby had checked around at CVS, Safeway, Costco, etc. It also came really quickly in the mail, like 2 days (1 day to verify prescription, 1 day to mail). We’re happy with it so far.
Medication must ship by 7/7, so looks like it’s too late at this point
In desktop mode it shows 8/10 so it looks like they forgot to update the mobile version.
Confirming I received the $15 gc with no issue today on 7/30 after placing my first order on 7/17. Still valid until 8/10.
Huge PITA just for a $15 gift card I probably wouldn’t use… It’s not exactly easy to move a prescription over and then move it back to your normal pharmacy. At least the last time I switched pharmacies it wasn’t, it was like pulling teeth
Support your local mom and pop pharmacy. Amazon is destroying them
Red flag for me is they won’t show you any pricing or let you check whether or not they take your insurance without first signing up for a subscription with them

You just type your medication in the search bar.
Just more for Amazon to know about you.
I don’t sell myself short on my medical information for $15.
If my no name health tech startup could buy prescription data then surely so can Amazon. Your info is already out there which is kinda scary until you remember nobody cares. But go ahead and decline a free $15 on principle lmao
I care and I hate Amazon.
If you hate amazon then sell you $0.001 worth of prescription data to them for $15.
They already have so much information on you, an extra information on your prescription is a drop in the bucket. Might as well cash in for your data which otherwise they’d get for free.
thumbs down, amazon RX doesn’t accept insurance from Obamas Care in California.
