Best Credit Cards For Drugstores and Pharmacies

Best Credit Cards For Drugstores and Pharmacies

Pharmacy or drugstore purchases are considerable expenses for many people. Besides medicine and health products, pharmacies nowadays carry a wide variety of items from personal care, to drinks, food, stationary and more. They often carry great selections of third party gift cards and Visa, Mastercard and Amex prepaid gift cards. So it makes sense to maximize these purchases through credit card rewards. Below you can find a list of the best credit cards for drugstores and pharmacies.

I’ll start with the cards that give you the highest rates and are widely available, and work my way down from there. I’ll value all points at 1 cent per points to make the ranking easier, but for same rates, I’ll rank Chase Ultimate Rewards cards first, then American Express Membership Rewards cards next, and TYP last. Keep in mind that if a pharmacy is located within a supermarket, then it will usually code as a grocery purchase.
