CVS Pharmacy unveils digital receipts on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

CVS Pharmacy will give millions of its customers the option to receive their receipts via email, instead of paper copies.

Starting in early June, CVS will launch digital receipts as a new option for all members of its ExtraCare Rewards program. The ExtraCare Rewards program has about 70 million members, the company said in a news release.

The move was first unveiled on Friday evening on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” in a surprise appearance featuring CVS Pharmacy president Helena Foulkes. Digital receipts will eventually be available in 7,900 CVS retail locations.

ExtraCare Rewards members will be able to opt-out of receiving paper receipts for all in-store purchases when completing their transactions. If customers are not already rewards members, they can enroll in the program by providing a valid email address, the company said.

Once the one-time process is completed, customers will receive receipts digitally, along with their coupons and rewards that can be redeemed in store by using a smartphone, tablet or computer. Customers will also be able to request a paper copy of their receipt during any transaction, the company said.
