I have a Walgreens card for the purpose of earning rewards on purchases made at Walgreens. Walgreens used to award points for purchases. These points were equivalent to dollars and customers could redeem these points in certain quantities, like ****, ****, ******, ******, and ******. Walgreens changed the style of rewarding customers. It eliminated points and started posting rewards in dollars directly to customers' accounts. Before switching to directly awarding dollars, Walgreens used to email customers alerting that their points were going to expire, to give them time to redeem them. These emails stopped suddenly. Walgreens secretly confiscated ****** points which were equivalent to a credit of 60 dollars on purchases at Walgreens, from my account. Walgreens should send a $60 gift card to resolve this problem.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: The adjustment offered is much lower than the dollar value of thousands of points that Walgreens removed from my account withoutsending emails about their intention to do so. $60 is what should be added to my account. It appears from the business' response that the business has deleted most of the history of
accumulation of points and has relied on a small part of history that is available in their records.

5. Compensation given: I tried calling multiple times and unable to get an answer. The store manager was able to reach and explained the MyWalgreens rewards program to the patient. We have no way of verifying the data from the conversion that happened several months ago. In good faith, the store manager added $60 to the MyWalgreens account for the patient and they were satisfied with the response.

I am rejecting this response because: I checked my Walgreens account today (Nov. 22), but did not see $60 posted to my account in the form of rewards.My reward balance is only 98 cents. If you post $60 to my account, I will be glad to tell BBB that I am satisfied with the resolution provided by Walgreens.

11 pm staff on Tuesday Oct 19th. I have made a complaint about this employee before. He is extremely rude, and literally the Walgreens people called me. He is still working there and he is so **** rude to me as if I treat him badly. I am asking about my prescription I recorded the phone calls and everything too. They will not answer my calls at all after the mean worker hung up. He said he worked there a few years I have never disrespected him. He bullies me every time and Walgreens already got involved. I am in tears. I do not deserve this treatment at all. I was nothing but respectful. I have it video taped I hope my call was recorded. HE needs to be nicer I have told him countless times. SO disgusting and rude. I don't want to fill my stuff at ******************* anymore. Horrible horrible male pharmacy staff on Oct 19th 11 pm ignoring all my calls.Business response

On 10/16/21 I went to the Walgreen's located at ***********************. I ask to pick up one prescription for a pain medication my wife needed due to shoulder surgery approx. 10 days earlier. The employee at the pharmacy counter advised me there were two prescriptions ready for her and that the second one was a "required" prescription. This second "required" prescription was two ********** of ****** at a cost of $50. I was taken back by this but since I was told it was required I paid the **** along with the $7.36 for the actual pain medication. After speaking to my wife about this situation we both felt that we were being sold something we did not need and should not be required to buy. We returned several hours after the purchase with the receipt and the still sealed box of two doses of ******. My wife entered the store, explained our position. She was told that I could have refused to take the second prescription but since I left the store with it no refund would be given.Business response

The automated online system told me my prescription would be ready for pick up. When I arrived they said that they did not have the medication in stock. Later they called and said they did in fact have it in stock. After purchasing it I discovered that the strength is half of what my prescription is for. They charged me full price for the item.Business response
