I made a purchase of $82.35 on Mar 14, 2024 (Order number: ************) Screenshot attached 1, solely incentivized by the offer jointly provided by Walgreens and Couponcabin. The offer was "get a $75 bonus on orders over $75". Screenshot attached 2. I intentionally ordered more than the requirement and did not use any coupons to ensure that I would receive the cashback. After clicking through the link, the purchased was tracked, Screenshot attached 3. However, after waiting for a month, I don't have receive the cashback so I contacted Couponcabin Screenshot attached 4. Couponcabin has been following up my inquiry closely and updated me periodically and I appreciated that. On Jun 11, I finally got a reply from Couponcabin but they relayed that message that reported subtotal amount of $34.37 by Walgreens. Screenshot attached 5. Reading the emails from Couponcabin, I trust that they had tried their best to inquire about the transaction for me but they were limited by their agreement with Walgreens I'm filing this complaint because it should be very simple for Walgreens to verify my purchase amount. It is clearly a $82.35 purchase and Walgreens did not provide any reason how a subtotal amount of $34.37 was reached. I believe it is a deceptive tactic that directs customers to make bigger purchase and didn't pay the bonus as promised by using their agreement with the cashback website. I spent quite a lot of time in following up the cashback. But since I'm a regular Waglreens customer and I'm willing to settle the issue with store credit of $75 to be credit into my account as cash reward or mail a store credit card to me. Thank you for your attention.Business response

I have been coming to this pharmacy for my antidepressant medication and birth control pills since 11/2023. Usually my visits to come here for refills are once maybe twice a month.Now if youre not familiar with how antidepressants affect the body I would like it to be known that going only one day without taking this medication will cause severe withdrawal onset as soon as the following morning of missing the dose. These symptoms for myself and many people consistent of extreme nausea and dizziness, brain zaps every ***** minutes (these feel as if a switch that keeps your whole body alive quickly flicks on and off sending a very disorientating and uncomfortable sensation throughout the body) and most importantly heightened anxiety/panic attacks/depression/suicidal thoughts. This medication for me serves as a mood stabilizer for my PMDD and depression. Its very important that I do not miss any doses for longer than 24 hours.I am here reaching out because on multiple occasions this Walgreens pharmacy has failed to refill my medication in a timely manner thus causing all the symptoms I stated above. I had to call out of work sick twice now because of how awful my withdrawals were. I cannot begin to imagine all the other people out there with even more severe medical issues who have also been told by this location that they dont have the medication ready or in stock even though the voice operator said the medication is ready. I would like to further ask that justice be served to the extremely rude Pharmacists and pharmacy techs. One of which in particular was nasty and impatient with me on three different days. She raised her voice at me and would not let me speak when I tried to simply pick up my antidepressants. I did raise my voice back at her, but in no worse way than she did to me. She then slammed the drive thru window in my face and refused to give me my meds that essentially keep me alive.Please help in anyway possible for all of us affectedBusiness response

On August 3, 2024 at approximately 11:30 AM, I took a ***** package to the Walgreens #**** at ****************************************. This was a delivered packaged that I was refusing. It was still sealed with all labels on the package. I went to the photo area which is also the ***** area of the store. A lady came out of a door near the counter and I told her wanted to send thecpackage back by *****. The lady said the cashier could take of this for me and she turned and went back through the same door. The cashier procssed the return and I asked for a paper receipt and was told they do not do that. She said she could text or email it to me. I gave her my email address and she had me read it and verify the email for correctness. It was correct. She said the receipt would be in my email. I got home at around 12:30 PM and there was no email. I called the store and a lady who sounded like the one who came out of the door answered. She again did not give her name, and told me it could take up to 12 hours for me to receive the email. She stated they couldn't resend the receipt until tomorrow. I asked for it to be texted and she said they counldn't text it because it was originally email. If I didn't get the email she told me to come back to the store tomorrow and they could resend it then. I have returned from the store where there is a notice on the store stating " We are sorry for any inconvenience, but this store is closed until further notice. So I have no receipt and it appears I may have been lied to about Walgreens being able to or willing to send be a receipt saying they are *****ing my package. There was $70+ dollars of merchandise (clothing) in the ***** package which was to be *****ed back to Woman Within.Initial Complaint

I received a gift card as a Christmas gift from my mother that was charged $80 to be loaded with $80 at a Walgreens location.After using the full amount of the card for a purchase I realized it was only loaded with $60. I confirmed this with the management company for the card which referred me to contact the business of purchase, Walgreens. Upon contacting them i was given an email to send them the pictures I had showing the electronic activation of the card from 12/24/2023 as well as the purchase I made showing only $60 had been used.After sending the proof there I was told there was nothing they can do because I do not have the physical card. I no longer have it because the place I made the purchase had kept it to throw away as it no longer carried a balance. In effect, Walgreens has essentially stolen $20 for charging $80 and only loading $60 onto the card. I would like either my mothers transaction to be refunded back the $20, or for us to receive a new gift card with the remaining $20 balance.Business response

On July 10, I received a notification that my medication was ready for pickup at my local Walgreens store: ******************************************* ******, MI *****. I proceeded to wait in the drive ********* to pick up my medication. However, when I got to the window I had to wait ***** minutes for my medication. I have filled this medication at this exact Walgreens for the past 8 months. The first couple of times I filled it I had similar issues with long wait times, however, the last few times it hasnt been a problem and Ive been able to pick up the medication within a couple minutes. All previous times I have also only picked up one dose of the medication and have not received any refills or new scripts from my doctor. On July 10, the pharmacy had issues once again, which was very frustrating as it wasted ***** minutes of my evening. This day I also received 2 doses of my medication, which has never happened before. I had to go back on July 12 to pickup one more dose that they filled but didnt have in stock, again, wasting another trip for myself. After I was finally able to leave the pharmacy, I immediately called Walgreens **************** and was told to file a complaint, which is what I did. I was told I would hear back from someone in ***** hours, which never happened. I called back the following week after not receiving a call from anyone and I was told that the notes showed someone called me and spoke with me regarding the issue, which is a lie as I never received a call nor did I speak with anyone. The person I spoke with escalated my case and I was told Id hear back in ***** hours. I have called back 4-5 times since then because I still have yet to receive a call back. Each time I call, ** told they have escalated the case to the district manager or regional manager, yet no one has called me regarding this issue. It is not my responsibility as the customer to continue to call ********************** to follow up.Business response

I spoke to the patient by phone and listened to her concerns and apologized for not following up sooner and resolving. Customer claims that no one had followed up with her. RXM *************************** said he called 2x over a week ago and wasn't able to leave a voicemail. I apologized for not having the medication in stock and the billing issues she is having. She uses MFG discount card and said it has worked in the past. I apologized for the long lines we have been having explained we have been experiencing a little longer waits due to Rite Aid closures, but we are staffed better now and we should not have long waits moving forward. She was happy with the call, and I let her know I would see the issues with not having her medication in stock and follow back up with her for her next fill. The customer was compensate a ***** gift card mail to her from the store manager.

I am rejecting this response because:I still dont know what is being done to resolve my issue with my ********** Card at the pharmacy. While I appreciate finally being contacted by ****, Im still unclear as to why I continue to have issues with my prescription. I have filled this particular RX at other pharmacies and have never had any issues. This has been going on since January, so the Rite Aid store closure and extra volume Walgreens now has is not the issue. If my problems with the ********** card arent going to be resolved, then I want to know that and why.

I assured her we would have our best tech work on the billing and if there are any issues the ** would personally take care of her. She kept asking me on what I was going to do to ensure it worked.
