Featured review
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 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!

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 give Cody and Chris a "9" for customer service at the Walgreen's at Hwy. 36 in Gatesville, TX. They were terrific as they helped me with my order of prints in the Photo Dept.

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).

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 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.

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.

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 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

"I had expressed that it was rude and was told that the store had just enough money on hand to service customers."

It isn't a bank. Why should they fuss with their till and leave no record of the transaction for someone who is not a customer? I don't understand what is so bad about this.

I went a Walgreens 24hr. store this morning to pick up a prescription,
and some face tissues. The time was 7:00 A.M.
I was able to get to the pharmacy, but was unable to enter any aisle
except the perimeter aisles, due to the fact that there was a crew
stripping and waxing all of the tile floors.
It wouls seem to me that this maintenance could have been taken
care of in the midnight hours.
Very poor planning.

Hey you guys at Walgreens, does anybody ever win doing your survey? You guys need to post a winners list.You say you give away #3000 a month.That is nothingto Walgreens.Walreens makes very big bucks, you guys can afford $5000 a week.Very big company, but very cheap, the big guys are watching the nickels.

I must agree with most of the complaints I have read, there is no place to register, or it is not made very obvious. It's a shame that your Walgreens staff are much better than the company they work for, I really can't imagine them giving the wrong information on a prescription. May be the BBB should be informed!. The above spelling has been checked. M. Jackson

they may be using another company, survey company, to take the surveys. The online survey quota may also be filled. And the survey company or Walgreens (whoever is responsible for walgreen's surveys) have not done the best job to let customers know what's going on.

The phone survey option tells you that the quota is filled, when it is.

With that said, has anyone heard of anybody winning this survey? Or is there a listing of winners ? Any of whom have made it publicly known of this authentic monthly cash drawing ? (hence first question.)

Or am I siding with Walgreen's of complaints. We're all capable of manifesting the heart of our wishes. With or without surveys. Each person here is demonstrating this by his willingness to try at something even though there are slim odds ! Each one of you are truly wonderful and great !

I pray each one of you continues to behold this thought in all of your life.. nameste

STOP asking folks to take a survey for a chance to win $3, 000 cash ... if you logon to www.walgreensfeedback.com, there is NO place for taking a survey ... just asking for suggestions. So ... my suggestion ... STOP promoting a survey and monthly cash sweepstakes ... since there is none!

Having the customers fill out the survey first, is cheating us all. Customers are people first, and a store that cheats it's customers is bound to get a bad rep for doing so. Eventually that store will go out of business. Without customers, what business will you have?
