CVS Pharmacy is redefining the landscape of customer loyalty with its revamped program set to launch in 2024. Recognizing the evolving expectations of consumers, CVS is expanding its existing scheme to include two additional membership tiers, integrating benefits previously exclusive to the ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards program. A standout feature of this new initiative is the offer of free same-day delivery for nearly all in-store products, deliverable in as little as three hours.
This strategic move underscores CVS Pharmacy's commitment to enhancing customer convenience and satisfaction, leveraging tiered loyalty programs' appeal to cater to a diverse consumer base with varied needs and preferences. “ExtraCare is a long-standing leader in the loyalty program industry and this evolution will allow us to provide even greater simplicity to our members, while providing value and making it easy for people to take care of their health,” said Zach Dennett, Vice President of Loyalty, Omnichannel and Hispanic Formats, CVS Health. “Now, instead of having to join various programs to unlock all the savings available to them, we’ve made it easier for our members and patients to choose from our two-tiered offerings and access the benefits that best fit their needs, including new same-day delivery and pharmacy rewards, which are now a core benefit.”
