Vs. 10 credits = $5 Pharmacy & Health ExtraBucks Rewards.
Many to Most have 90-day scripts that get 3 credits & get $5 very fast. In many cases will get $50 limit every year. & that's even when you don't have several scripts to get in short window of time.
Then many will go to store or online & use that + coupons for deep discount for 1 or more items.
This "Quicker and easier" plan is maybe to save CVS money because they know a lot of people won't bother for $2 or less before short expire dates + is hoping to push more people to Pay $5 a month for CarePass.
Current "rules" see https://www.cvs.com/extracare-cvs/rxrewards before they update the page likely sooner then 1-Jan-24.
In "FAQ" section as of today...
| quote | Why am I receiving $2 ExtraBucks Rewards® instead of a $5...
Starting January 1, 2024, you will be able to earn ExtraBucks Rewards 2x faster! The value of each credit is the same, but you will receive $2 ExtraBucks Rewards after earning 4 credits, rather than $5 ExtraBucks Rewards after earning 10 credits. You can still earn up to $50 ExtraBucks Rewards in a calendar year. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please call 1-800-SHOP CVS (1-800-746-7287). |

In my family & because have several 90day/3credit scripts is maybe to hit the $50 limit even faster because 1 visit get 6 9 or more credits easy so get $4 or more rewards.
4Ref: CVS allows 90-day scripts since it bought out Caremark Mail Delivery & is why many stopped going to others that can't fill 90-day scripts.
Before that... While many could use Caremark to get 90-days, has very big problems on top of Mail Theft in the USPS & outside so used local stores even tho most I-co's authorize only 30-day scripts including CVS stores before that.
Note: This ignores that you can get ExtraBucks Rewards for buying things in the retail section of the store too. This can change a lot from account to account because of many reasons. Example: Some get 2% as rewards on retail & others don't because how much business or not. 2% is pennies of rewards for many even then. Or you buy X product in Y amount to get Z ExtraBucks...------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

That is confusing to me for some reason.
They keep trying to get us to join Carepass (even signed one family member up claiming their "code was old"- the employee gets a small commission (2-5 bucks) for each person they get to sign up)
I've heard estimates that CVS is gonna be mostly gone within three years.

My advice, take it or not, is DON'T. It's nearly impossible to exit from and costs ya $5 a month. Adds up to $60/year.
I wouldn't pizz on CVS if they were burning to the ground.
There's a REASON so many of them are closed down, and it's mostly because of poor pharmacy service.
They insist on trying to get your prescriptions filled early (as much as 2 weeks early) and inundate you with text's emails and phone calls. Either they can't count, use a calendar or read the refill date on the bottle. They can stick their meager rewards program up their ignorant rear ends.
