This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I went to Walgreens today (9/29/09) and received a receipt from the pharmacy. It said I could go online for the $3000. monthly sweepstakes within 72 hrs. All the material on that page were advertising, with no way of entering the sweepstakes. Please have this corrected.

I typed www.walgreensfeedback.com for the $3, 000 cash sweepstakes and survey. I got everything but the survey or sweepstakes. you need to change your website for it can go direct to a site for the survey- I love Walgeens and you have helpful friendly salespeople

Walgreens SUCKS! Forget trying to enter their survey, it's like trying to navigate a habitrail! Whoever heard of a 72 hr. deadline to enter a sweepstakes! Sounds like a ploy to me to just get you back in the store and pay their higher than a cats [censor] prices...I thought CVS was high! HA! I'll be taking my business back to CVS, PLUS, they're right down the street from my house! SCREW YOU WALGREENS AS IF YOU REALLY GIVE A [censor]!

I don't see any winners noted for January, February or March 2011. I am wondering if this is a sham. I sent an email to Walgreens back in March and have yet to receive a response.

i agree, i went to walgreens today when i got home i saw the contest on my receipt, so i went to the website as advertised on my receipt, and all it says is you can win $3000 by entering walgreens sweepstakes but it doesn't let you enter.

We went to Walgree on Tyndall Dr. to exchange an Item which we bouhgt at the Walgreens by Bay Medical, Martin Luther Dr.
The Clerk neither the Manager would just exchange. My Receipt was from the other Store so since he claims he could find it there was no such thing on my Receipt. The clerck and Manager should go to Traing school how to tread Customer's.
So we drove over to Walgreens at Bay Medical, Martin Luther Dr.
The Clerck exchanged with no problem or hassel and he was nice about it.

I took the survey. In addition, I want to compliment Cody and Chris and rate them a 9. They were fantastically helpful to me with my photo print order, and I appreciated them so much. I wanted you to know how helpful they are at the Walgreen's on Hwy. 36 in Gatesville, Texas (our only one).

Ditto to the scam on the 50, 000 dollar sweepstakes wanting to bill your cell phone 9.99. I couldn't believe all the scam type website that were linked to the $3, 000 survey. Furthermore I can't believe there are complaints all the way back to 2009 and they haven't fixed it in three whole years.I'm calling someone, somewhere, at the TOP at Walgreens to let them know because they ain't reading these posts. With This many folks complaining they got to listen

I went to the Walgreens /beauty within website to get my "free beauty sample box". The coupon said that I had qualified for this due to qualifying purchase amounts I had spent at the store, WELL>>>WHAT A RIP OFF! IT WAS A BUNCH OF AD'S WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE APP! ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL KINDS OF BS STARTS POPPING UP! I NEVER SAW THE BEAUTY SAMPLE BOX TO PUT MY PROMO CODE IN AT ALL. I AM GOING TO DELETE IT FROM MY COMPUTER AND TELL WALGREEN THAT THEY CAN KEEP THEIR FREEBIES AND ALL THE JUNK AD'S THAT GO WITH IT! THANKS FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WALGREENS!

For years I've been filling out 8 to 10 surveys per month and have never won or heard anything about the results. I've searched the internet for a list of winners but there's nothing to be found. For several months I've had this gnawing suspicion there might not be a drawing at all. Why are the winners names never mentioned? Organizations running contests or drawings always publish winners as a way to sustain excitement and participation. As far as I know Walgreens has never done anything particularly deceptive or dishonest but there is something not right with this one. Many people who enter these contests need the money and are hoping against hope one day they'll win. If the monthly drawings are just some sort of scam or ruse then it needs to be reported to the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau and your State and Local consumer protection agencies. If you know of anyone who has won please mention it here so I can be proven wrong. I'd love to get to the bottom of this if for no other reason than to put a stop to it. Promises of a monthly cash prize via some phantom contest is essentially a cruel thing to do to people, especially Walgreen's loyal customers.

Good grief, most of you are either blind, illiterate or have some sort of reading disability. This is not misleading, it's not false advertising and by no means is it rocket science.
Get a grip people, read slowly and carefully, control your urge to have a knee-jerk reaction (not to mention your obvious need to cry & moan over something you're dead wrong about & you, like thousands before you, will be able to take the survey.
And yes, it's real, and yes, people do win, and yes, the odds are maybe like Lotto, except you don't pay for the "ticket."

Summerlion,
Your response seems elitist and judgmental. I have completed the Walgreens survey at times and also been prematurely directed to an unrelated site at other times. It is then impossible to get back in order to complete the sweepstakes information. If this has not happened to you count yourself as more fortunate than others not more competent.

I purchased an item at walgreens on 3/18 and took the survey. It did not allow me to type in my phone number and Zip code. I typed in the zip code in the address space. How will I know if I win? Or is this a scam? Has anyone every won 3000 bucks?

If you look at your receipt, it clearly says to go to www.wagcares.com to fill out a survey and then you can be entered into the sweepstakes. I go to this site every month. The only problem I have had is a couple of times I have lost my connection for some reason, and since I had already entered the Survey # and Password the site had recorded the entry and did not know I was not able to finish so I was not able to go in to finish the survey and enter the sweepstakes. But that is due to an error with the internet not Walgreens. Maybe before being so quick to attack others when you can't do something you should look into what you are doing wrong.

I totally agree, walgreens needs to correct the information of their 3000 sweepstakes, its more of a scam than an appreciation to LOYAL customers. fix it or stop with what I refer to as false statements!

I also had problems with the Walgreens $3, 000 Sweepstakes from the Cash Register Receipt, as trying to enter I continued to receive a robo message that said "invalid entry", so could not enter the contest. I reported the issue to Walgreens but they never got back to me, and never fixed the problem either! I then reported the incident to the FTC, but they did not seem interested in investigating Walgreens.

I no longer drive, my grand daughter picked up my Rx i awhile ago. I chose to fill out the survey. After spending all the time to fill out the survey they said they must speak with the person who shopped there. This was very dis appointing, and I will no longer use Walgreen.

Lol well how can you tell about someone else's experience at a store ? It makes sense Walgreens wants to know first hand about a customers experience not a customer who sent someone else to the store and told you second hand about their experience. This is your reason to stop using Walgreens, wow!

I went to Walgreen's Pharmacy, and I did the survey, and I actually did win $1000, they were very formal with all the paperwork that they sent me, and I did receive my check. It is real, this is not a scam company, the company who does the surveys is not Walgreen's it's a different company contracted by them.

I found the list of winners everyone. You have to make sure you go to www.walgreenslistens.com. There are several other imposter sites, and that’s why your getting all the adds. After the survey, if you scroll down to the bottom, it will say “survey winners” and here’s the link for the list that comes up: http://www.inmoment.com/websurvey/servlet/BlobServlet?s2=370e0870-781d-30c6-94e1-0fe8490d4a30-7a&v=0&type=0&t=surveySweepstakesOfficialWinnersListDec

Also, you’ll come to a question, when filling out survey online, where it says “do you mind answering a few more questions?”. Click “No” if you don’t want to complete another 10 min of questions. Good luck, and Happy New Year’s to everyone.

It's the number they gave me on my receipt so how can it be invalid? I have spent loads of money at Walgreens over many years but this makes me think I will seek a more honest place to do my purchasing.

Spent my last 30 bucks on my meds. I just got state insurance. The pharmacit is trying ti tell me she wont run it until ive gone 4 months with name brand meds. It sounds like bu[censored] to me. Shes the only one that tells me that. This was the 3rd time. To prove i need it. Ive been using them for the last 3 years. I mean i wouldnt recomend anyone to walgreens right now. If they get to act together i might reconsider. I dont wanna be alive right now. Im having such a hard time right now. I have insurance. And i expect a representative fron Walgreens to resolve this for me. Multi billion dollar company and im about to loose my home and the lady seriously wont rub my insuance. Its kind of threataning like. Are you going to refuse to give me my meds? Might as well shoot me. Im tired of strugglibgg alone and the stress of this life and the other issues im facing.
