No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Thanks for the very interesting heads-up, @CreditCuriosity!
Before my CareCredit converted to the MasterCard I was having a hard time getting to RiteAid every few months for a token purchase (and like many others have mentioned, my RiteAid is converting to Walgreens as well).
This will be a fantastic way for those who might go a while between purchases at their 'usual' CareCredit provider to keep their account alive! ![]()

When checking out at the store or club, use your CareCredit credit card first.
Qualified health, wellness and personal care items will be charged to your card.
Any remaining items can be purchased using another payment method. These "qualified items" are just what I was scratching my head about, and now it makes a bit more sense. You can't just go into your local Walmart and buy a bag of doritos with a can of coke on this LOC. Sounds a bit like a HS(pending)A on credit.
Maybe not a bag of doritos and coke...but at least I can pick up a bottle of Excedrin Migraine and that's enough to keep the account active. Besides, with the stressful demand of Corporate America these days (or in my case, the ER), I'm sure many folks can benefit from a bottle of Excedrin; lord knows there are times when I pop those bad boy like tic tacs.

As maintenence, that's a bit of a stretch from "care" but plausible. I just don't see it as a general "superstore" option unless they limit what you buy.
That's Car Care One now known as Synchrony Car Care. Completely different product from CareCredit
Just tried this last night and it went smoothly. All items that qualified were paid and remaining items were paid with a separate account.
Now you can use your CareCredit credit card at Walmart and Sam's Club locations for in-store purchases of select health, wellness and personal care items.
Anyone know if you can get an Air Purifier with your care credit card at walmart?

My suggestion is to just try it.
Take it to the check out, attempt to pay with Credit Care. If it doesn't work, you can always just cancel the purchase.
No embarrassment; you can inform the clerk prior if you like: "If this card won't work than I don't want the item" sorta thing.
Good Luck

That was my first guess (or Flexible Reimbursement Account) but those are tax-advantaged, and presumably something like the IRS determines the guidelines. Carecredit, or rather Sync, wouldn't have those same constraints, but I guess it would be easier for the IT group just to use the same list!
