Jewel-Osco expands prescription rewards program

ITASCA, Ill. Jewel-Osco announced that frequent pharmacy customers will have additional opportunities to reduce their grocery bills through the Prescription Plus pharmacy rewards program. The company said it would extend the limited life of Prescription Plus through Jan. 31, 2009.

Prescription Plus offers customers a 10%discount coupon after every five prescriptions filled at the pharmacy, using their Jewel-Osco Preferred Card. New, transferred and refilled medication orders-including flu shots-all can count toward earning the valuable discount, which can be redeemed at the grocery checkout.

All 185 Jewel-Osco locations in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa will continue the Prescription Plus program. Locations without in-store pharmacies will also honor the 10% discount. In addition to traditional prescription orders, immunizations, diabetes care service appointments and medication therapy management appointments in most cases can also count toward Prescription Plus discounts.
