DealPass Giving Away $1 Million Worth of Free Prescription Discount Cards
DealPass Discount Card Enables Cardholders to Save Up to 60 Percent off Prescription Medications
Stamford, CONN, (PRWEB) August 12, 2005 -- To help combat rising healthcare
costs, consumers can now visit DealPass online to sign up for a free Pharmacy Gold Card,
which provides savings of 10 to 60 percent off prescriptions and other
healthcare needs.
DealPass, a gateway portal for Adaptive Marketing
LLC's membership programs, is making the Pharmacy Gold Card available to
everyone at no cost for one year. While supplies last, up to a total value of $1
million worth of cards.
DealPass notes that prescription costs have risen roughly 7.4
percent per year from 1993 through 2003. That's more than double the average
inflation rate of 2.5 percent (1). Uninsured Americans and senior citizens
remain the hardest hit by this steady incline in prescription costs.
The
Pharmacy Gold Card, which normally retails for $29.95, is available online at DealPass for
free as part of an ongoing commitment to helping those in need within our
communities. In all, Adaptive Marketing LLC hopes to give away $1 million worth
of Pharmacy Gold Cards.
The Pharmacy Gold Card provides users with
discounts of 10 to 60 percent off generic and name-brand prescriptions at a
network of more than 40,000 pharmacies nationwide. There are absolutely no
limitations on the number of times that the card may be used. Cardholders and
their family members (spouses and children under 23 years of age residing in the
household) may use their card at any participating pharmacy and receive a
guaranteed discount off the retail price for any prescription.
Additional card benefits include discounts on vitamins and supplements
as well as savings of 20 to 60 percent off vision care needs, including eye
exams, prescription lenses, frames, contacts and sunglasses at more than 8,000
participating vision care centers from coast to coast.
The savings
available through DealPass' Pharmacy Gold Card are substantial. Cardholders who
use their card at a network vision care center save, on average, $91.00 per
visit. And the average prescription savings is 24 percent per prescription
filled. That translates into significant savings for many
Americans.
Consider, for instance, that senior citizens spend roughly
$2,300 annually on medications.(2) When you factor in the average savings
available through the Pharmacy Gold Card, that equates to a savings of $575 a
year, or $47.91 a month. For a senior citizen living on a fixed income, that
extra money can now go towards other essential needs, such as paying a utility
bill or buying groceries.
No credit cards are required to sign up for the
free card -- all website visitors need to provide is a home address, phone
number and email address.
