A class action legal case was just settled that alleged that CVS shared personal information with a third party advertising company. CVS will give you $5 or $10 back if you were among the people who interacted with any CVS websites prior to July 27, 2026. Those who submit proof of accessing a CVS website (such as a screen capture of your browsing history showing a CVS website, have emails from a pick-up order, etc.), will get $10. All others get $5. If you have not received a claim code, you can still fill out the online form here. Look for that link. Warning: some antivirus programs interfere with filling out the claim form so disable them first. If you run into a problem, their claim phone is 888-654-1271 option 8.
