My issue is with CVS Pharmacy in *********, IN. I have a prescription that was due for refill July 5. For over a week now I have been receiving texts from CVS saying the medication was being prepared. As of today still had not received notification that it was ready. I now have 1 remaining tablet & then will be out of med. When I contacted the Pharmacist was told that the med had not come in - no offer to try & find it at another ****************************** seem to care that I could be without medicine for several days. This is a medication that they have had the prescription for years that is due to be filled every 90 days.

I went to cvs on Saturday June 29, 2024. I made 2 purchases the first one was makeup and diapers. Bought the diapers for the $10.00rewards. I had to go get drinks for my daughter and I for my second purchase. I did try purchasing 2 dove hair products. Was going to use my coupons and extra bucks toward the second order. I didnt have enough money for the dove products. So I had the manager at the store take them off. I proceeded to pay for my purchase. I said I didnt want to use my rewards on drinks. The second order still use the coupons and extra bucks. When on the receipt it does not show the extra bucks or coupons used. I paid with my EBT card. I did call customer service and spoke to **** and she could only see the diaper transaction. This digital era you should be able to see the second transaction. So home told me to wait an other 48 hours for the extra care bucks. Extra care bucks loads to the after the transaction. I told home it has been more than 48 hours since Saturday. Home was not helpful at all. I told her on the second call that I did not want to talk with her. I asked for a supervisor. Waiting on the supervisor to call back. It has been 15 minutes and NO call back yet.Business response

I purchased a 200 dollar gift card at. CVS location for Nordstrom. This was a Fathers Day gift and my father and to use the cards and there was no funds. I called Nordstrom and they confirmed the card was compromised and informed me cvs would need to address this and reimburse me. I called corporate and got a claim number and was informed I would get a call back in 7-10 days and never got a call. Spoke to corporate today and 2 managers and was pretty much told I was a thief and that cvs would not return my money because funds were used. I reached out to Nordstrom and they said it is cvs responsibility to help me and reimburse me. I have never ever been so insulted in my life. This was compromised and my father was unable to get his gift because CVS will not monitor their gift cards to see which ones are stolen. I will continue to fight this until cvs admits to their mistake, reimburses my money and provides an apology.Business response

CVS sells Qvar (brand name) Inhalers 3 packs for $80. The cost for just one inhaler is $60. So customers are lead to believe that they will save money if they buy the 3 pack from CVS. However, every time (3 times over the past 6 months) we've tried to purchase the 3 pack from the CVS Pharmacy they've only had one on the shelf. They will then tell us our prescription is ready (the prescription specifically says 3 pack) and try to sell us the one inhaler for $60. And when we tell them we want the 3 pack they will pressure us to buy the one pack. We have been sent to other CVS stores only to be met with the same tactics, they tell us our prescription is ready, then when we pick up, we are told that they also only have one and the cost will be $60. We've asked that the one pack be prorated to $26.67, but they say they can't do that. During the week of June 17, 2024 we needed a Qvar refill. We knew this had been a problem in the past and we tried to avoid it by calling ahead. We specifically asked if they had the 3 pack. They told us they only had one and the cost would be $60. We told them we wanted the 3 pack for $80, and they said they would have to order some more but it would be in the store in a few days and they let us know when the 3 pack was ready. A few days later (June 21) we received a message saying our prescription was ready. When we got to the CVS Pharmacy they again only had one and again tried to pressure us into paying $60 for one instead of $80 for 3. This business is, intentional or not, telling its customers that the Qvar inhalers are 3 for $80 then trying to sell the inhalers for $60 each when they don't have the inventory. They SHOULD either keep the inventory on hand, or prorate one pack if they don't have the correct number.Business response

On June 1, 2024, I began with a new ******** Advantage plan through United Healthcare. Prior to that date, whenever I had a prescription waiting for me at Store #****, I was notified via text message. However, United Healthcare told me to transfer my prescriptions to Optum Rx, so I followed their instructions. I have to mention that my attempts to log into my account on uhc.com failed repeatedly and I made many notices of this problem. Only today was I finally given instructions that allowed me to log into my account. To my dismay, however, I discovered that CVS had posted notices of two prescriptions that allegedly are waiting for me at Store #**** for which I received no text message notice. To make matters worse, both prescriptions are for medications that I no longer take! I don't know if I can blame CVS for this problem, but I do know that before relocating to my current address, Store #**** in **********, ** had made a lot of trouble for me and even demanded that I travel 40 miles to them to pick up prescriptions after I gave instructions to transfer them! Only one employee in the DC store gave me quality service always, a man named ******; the others seemed to take delight in making the life of a disabled 72-year-old male more miserable!My insurance is helping me move my prescriptions to Optum Rx because they will charge me less and will deliver the prescriptions to my home. That added service is valuable to me because of my age and my disabling conditions. I just want to know why Store #**** stopped sending me texts and chose instead to post notices on an account that I could not access! UHC is not guilt-free, but I cannot understand why the text messages ended without any notice given to me!Business response

While I appreciate that the back office is attempting to correct the issue with my CVS card, I would prefer that the complaint remain open until such time as I am able to confirm that the card works in the store. That will happen next week when I get the July award of Ten Dollars.

I purchased a Fandango gift card for $25 on June 10, 2024. On June 16, when I went to scratch the panel to reveal the pin, the entire writing came off rendering the card unusable. I returned to the store with the card and receipt and they said "We only sell them. You'll have to call this number." I called the number provided on June 16 and they took a report and provided me with case# S11185963. However, to date I have heard nothing. Attached are photos of my receipt and the defective gift card. I would like a replacement card in the amount of $25.Business response
