Starting on September 13, Walgreens customers will get 3% back in Daily Cash when they use their Apple Card with Apple Pay on eligible purchases.
Apple Card users can now get 3 percent Daily Cash at Walgreens when buying certain products, including prescription medication. The promotion will begin on Friday, September 13 according to the Walgreens' press release.
"We know our customers love Apple Pay and they're looking for convenient ways to shop and pay for their purchases at Walgreens. We're pleased to offer a higher level of Daily Cash on Apple Card for even better value on daily essentials, medicines and prescriptions," said Joe Hartsig, chief merchandising officer, Walgreens.
Customers will need to use their Apple Card with Apple Pay in order to receive the benefit. If they use their physical card, they'll only get the standard 1 percent cash back.
As part of the promotion, Walgreens will expand the number of stores carrying Apple Accessories 2,600 stores. Shoppers will be able to purchase Lightning Cables, EarPods, and iPhone cases.
Most Apple Pay purchases made with the Apple Card only net 2 percent cash back. The Walgreens promotion also hints that future promotions with other companies will likely be forthcoming.

Nice! I hope it’s well promoted in their stores, too. This is the kind of thing that will help to drive awareness of Apple Pay and hopefully further adoption.
Walgreens is one of the few retailers that actually “gets” ApplePay. Their rewards card can be placed in your iOS Wallet app. When tap your iPhone or Watch the terminal processes it quickly without asking for a PIN, signature, or phone number. Easy.
Goodbye CVS and your tree-killing receipts.
