I receive Social Security Disability and Medicare/ via United Healthcare.<br /> One of the perks of signing up with United Healthcare is an OTC card to buy medical supplies, BUT ONLY FROM WALGREENS. THE PRODUCT LABELS OTC OVERPRICED X2, X3, X4 or more when compared to semilar products @ Walmart or Target. Because of my disability I don't drive much or go to stores much.<br /> I had about $470 on My OTC card. The cause of covid-19 and my pre-existing conditions I decided to try to spend the $470 up so I will be ready for the 2nd wave of Covid &amp; not have to come out for things I knew I needed. The prices on the shelf, do not always correspond with the price that scans at the register. After the cashier scanned everything the total was $608.45. by the time I finish walking through the store trying to read the prices compare items I was totally exhausted. Glasses fogged up because I have to wear the face mask which is okay. I need to wear the face mask. My daughter-in-law was being very patient with me and I did not want to hold her up trying to figure out what I did not need as much @ the register. So I decided to pay the overage with my Discover Card and figure out what I didn't need as much when I got home and return the other things. I got 2 Oximeters, I got 2 wrist blood pressure meters, 1 heating pad, 1 nasal inhaler, 1 massager etc. I eventually mustered up enough energy to go over my receipt, My son took me to a different Walgreens (closer to where I live) to return the items so I can get a credit on to my Discover credit card. When I tried to return some items to be able to get a CREDIT on my Discover card the cashier said that no matter what I returned the credit would go to the WALGREENS' OTC CARD, NOT TO MY DISCOVER CREDIT CARD. She tried with 2 items TO PROVE TO ME THAT IS THEIR STORE POLICY... I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $89.99 FOR A WRIST BLOOD PRESSURE METER.<br /> I CONTACTED DISCOVER CREDIT CARD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAVE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION. WHILE THE INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON THEY HAVE MADE A PROVISIONAL CREDIT TO MY ACCOUNT FOR THE $125.00. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING OVER $5 FROM WALGREENS WITHOUT MY DISCOVER CARD FROM NOW ON.
