If I have a program with 1,000,000 members that I have contact with stores are going to want to offer my members discounts to get them into their stores. Pharmacies are no different.They are willing to give discounts to people to drive more volume to their stores. And more volume means they might get more loyal customers and those customers may buy more than medication.I hope that helps. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on the site.Thanks, Rex Great question and great comment.

It saved us about $20 ($87 vs $107).We got ones with our insurance which make more sense...they have a relationship with the insurance company after all.Even though we have to pay for everything up to a certain point, the insurance company wants us to pay less so that we don't reach our limit and so they won't have to start paying. Maybe the insurance people pay a set rate.I have no idea how the Your Rx card works. But it's worth it to print them, cut them out, and give them a shot. You never know!

I have no idea how the Your Rx card works. But it’s worth it to print them, cut them out, and give them a shot. You never know!
