CVS/pharmacy Offer Own Gift Card via Coinstar Coin to Card

Tags » Coinstar, Gift Cards

Coinstar has announced that CVS/pharmacy is expected to have gift cards available in more than 360 Coinstar Center kiosks in CVS/pharmacy stores this summer. The Coin to Card service allows consumers to convert their loose change to a CVS card at the Coinstar kiosk and pay no coin-counting fee.

To use the Coin to Card service, consumers simply select the gift card option at the Coinstar Center, then choose the CVS card (or one of the available eCertificates), pour their loose, unsorted change into the input tray, and then once counted, the CVS card will be dispensed right away and can be used just like cash to make store purchases.

“We’re delighted to be working with CVS/pharmacy to offer our first host retailer gift card,” said Alex Camara, senior vice president and general manager of worldwide coin at Coinstar, Inc. “We believe our Coin to Card service benefits retailers like CVS/pharmacy by driving more foot traffic and purchases, as well as consumers who can now turn idle change into found money to purchase a variety of healthcare products or other merchandise at CVS/pharmacy.”

“We are very pleased to partner with Coinstar to make the Coin to Card service available at all CVS Coinstar Center locations,” said Peter Nash, director -- treasury operations, CVS Caremark. “With this service, we will provide added value for our customers by making it easy and convenient for them to convert their loose change to a CVS gift card.”
