You can now stop getting those long CVS receipts

Say goodbye to those mind-bogglingly-long receipts from CVS.

The pharmacy announced it will launch digital receipts as a new option for all members of its ExtraCare Rewards program.

The new option for digital receipts will roll out in early June and eventually be available in 7,900 retail locations.

Customers will have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving paper receipts for all in-store purchases when completing their transactions in the front of the store. Once the one-time process is completed, customers will receive receipts digitally, along with their coupons and rewards, each time they shop at CVS Pharmacy.

The announcement was made on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on May 21, in a surprise appearance featuring CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes. The show acknowledged the enthusiastic and passionate feedback shared by millions of customers – including host Jimmy Kimmel himself, who has put CVS Pharmacy receipts and ExtraCare Rewards in the spotlight several times in the past. 

"We are excited to roll out the much-anticipated launch of digital receipts. We heard loud and clear that while our customers love receiving coupons and special offers, many wanted a paperless option," said Helena Foulkes, President, CVS Pharmacy. "This feature lets our customers continue to make personalized choices as to how they engage with us, and will let our members choose to say 'So long!' to the long paper receipts at check-out."
