Walmart is currently offering a $10 e-gift card to anyone who transfers a prescription to their pharmacy for the first time. This offer requires that you transfer your prescription using their online system and sign up for home delivery. Click here to read more about this offer. This offer is not available in some states and carries other restrictions, so be sure to read the fine print carefully; they also provide a toll-free hotline you can call with any questions.

I’ve written in the past how I’ve utilized offers such as this to earn a gift card profit & offset the cost of prescriptions. If you’re considering transferring a prescription in order to redeem an offer such as this, it is critical that you call the pharmacy first and find out exactly how much it will cost to fill your prescription. Different pharmacies charge different amounts for the same medications, so make sure that it’s actually cost-effective to transfer your RX first. For example, last year I took a prescription in to a pharmacy and asked how much it would cost to fill (I do this whether I have a coupon or not!). They quoted me $40 for the prescription. I then took it to a different pharmacy on the same day and filled the prescription for $6. Prices can really vary, so do your homework first!

Thanks to Frugal Fabulous Finds for the info about this offer!
