STAMFORD, Conn. – Synchrony, a premier consumer financial services company, and Albertsons Cos. have announced the acceptance of the CareCredit health and wellness credit card in nearly 2,200 Albertsons Cos. stores including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, ACME, Shaw's and Jewel-Osco.
"At Albertsons Cos., we are continually broadening our relationships to ensure our customers have more options, flexibility and convenient ways to access prescriptions; personal, pet and baby care essentials; over-the-counter products; and other necessary items," said Irina Pelphrey, group vice president of Health at Albertsons Cos. "Through our collaboration with CareCredit, cardholders can now shop at their preferred local Albertsons Cos. grocery store for the products they need on their health and wellness journey."
CareCredit cardholders are now able to use their card at most Albertsons Cos. stores for select health and wellness items including pharmacy (prescriptions, deductibles); qualified over-the-counter health products (first aid, vitamins, cold and allergy medications); select personal care (oral care, ear and eye care, hygiene); select beauty and hair care; select pet food and supplies; and qualified baby essentials (diapers, formula).
"At Synchrony, we know our families' health and wellness is not just pursued at the doctor's office but is also found at our local grocery store," says Beto Casellas, executive vice president and chief executive officer of Health and Wellness at Synchrony. "By expanding the CareCredit network through this new offering with Albertsons Cos., we are helping to ensure that consumers have more options to pay for their health and wellness products in a way that's convenient for them."
Synchrony is committed to making health and wellness products and services more accessible for consumers. In June 2023, Synchrony announced the expansion of its financing programs across the wellness industry, allowing CareCredit cardholders to use CareCredit to pay for preventative care and services like nutrition and weight loss programs, holistic and lifestyle care like acupuncture, chiropractic care and counseling at locations in the CareCredit network.
"Synchrony is committed to providing our cardholders with a robust set of locations to use the CareCredit credit card to advance their health and wellness, and we are excited to partner with Albertsons Cos., a leading food and drug retailer in our communities," said Erin Gadhavi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wellness at Synchrony. "As we look for ways to expand the utility of our card, we look forward to bringing on the reach of Albertsons Cos.' pharmacies and stores as a valuable addition to the CareCredit network."
Synchrony's CareCredit credit card is an efficient way for people to pay for out-of-pocket health care costs and health and wellness products at select retail locations in a manner that works for themselves and their families.
