Where can I use my Care Credit to show some usage without spending a fortune ?

[Aduke1122]

Hey guys I have had my CC for about 3 /4 mths now I didn't get the amount I needed to have the work done that I needed so I am gonna try for a CLI later on but I need to show some usage , I have not used the card yet at all and I don't want to get shut down for not using it . I don't have any pets so I can't use it in that manner , I have checked for Rite Aids in my area and there are NONE AT ALL anywhere close. I don't want to spend a lot just to show usage at this point , bc the work I need done will be an all at once kinda deal so I can't break it up into diff apts . Any ideas guys ? Thanks

Without a Rite Aid around I'm not sure what you could use it for that would amount to a small purchase.  My dental insurance pays for a cleaning twice a year...to keep my card active I'll have a 3rd cleaning done and charge it to my CareCredit.  It's usually a little under a $100 bucks but it does the job to keep the card active.  I usually don't have a problem though because I wear eyeglasses and an every other year I usually change frames even if I don't need a new prescription.

Ok thanks for the idea , my dental only does 2 cleanings per year also so I'll check out how much one will be for me . I so wish there was a Rite Aid or they took it at Cvs or Walgreens

I hear ya...there isn't a Rite Aid in my area...or anywhere within a couple hundred miles.  Now Walgreens seems to be on just about every corner in our city.  Maybe one day they'll change these cards over to the MasterCard or at least partner with another pharmacy besides Rite Aid.  Heck, I would be happy if Rite Aid would accept CareCredit as a form of payment on their website...

Hahaha I checked that option out too on the Rite Aid online website

Lol, go get a kitty and take it to the vet for its shots

You can probably go into a vet clinic or even a dentist if they are the type to sell cheap items at the desk.  I know my local vet has stuff like pet treats, shampoo, combs, etc. for sale at the counter where you pay.  Something small like that would allow you to show usage.

Can you purchase something from Rite Aid online and have them ship it to your house?

Thanks for the Idea BrutalBodyShots, and Jdana no they don't have CareCredit listed as a payment option online , I already tried it. Lol I would love to have a pet but I'm not paying the Huge pet deposit at our apartment complex AJC

You can go to a reasonably priced optometrist and treat yourself to a nice pair of sunglasses. 😎

Even if you don't need prescription glasses, 👓

They will still sell you a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, or any other brand you fancy.
