How to Find a Lost CVS Pharmacy Receipt
Misplaced your CVS Pharmacy receipt? Before you give up, there are a few quick places to look — and if the original is gone for good, you can recreate one for your records.
Where to look first
- 1Check your email — CVS Pharmacy and many retailers send a digital receipt or order confirmation at checkout.
- 2Link your ExtraCare card and CVS stores digital receipts in the app automatically; prescription history is available separately from the pharmacy.
- 3Review your bank or credit-card statement to confirm the date, location and exact amount of the purchase.
- 4Contact CVS Pharmacy customer service with your payment card, the store or location, and the approximate date — they can sometimes look up or reprint a receipt.
CVS allows 60 days for most unopened items, and caps a no-receipt refund at the lowest advertised price from the 60 days before the return. Check CVS Pharmacy's own help pages (opens in a new tab) for the current rules — policies change, and the brand's own page is the only authoritative version. Link checked August 20, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I get a copy of an old CVS Pharmacy receipt?
- Often yes. Link your ExtraCare card and CVS stores digital receipts in the app automatically; prescription history is available separately from the pharmacy. For older purchases, CVS Pharmacy customer service may be able to look up the transaction with the card you paid with and the approximate date — the more precisely you can pin down the store, day and amount, the better the odds of a successful lookup.
- Does CVS Pharmacy keep receipts on file?
- It varies. Purchases made through a CVS Pharmacy app, loyalty program or online account are usually stored in your order history. CVS lets you opt into digital-only receipts entirely — a fix for their famously long paper receipts, and your history stays searchable in the app. In-store cash purchases with no loyalty scan are the hardest to retrieve, which is when recreating a receipt for your records is most useful.
