I was charged for a goodRX***** plan that I didn't authorize payment on and didn't want the service and haven't used the service any. I haven't been able to get a refund. I received a notification telling me that my card had been charged $9.99 for a***** plan subscription that I wasn't aware I was going to be charged or that I was supposed to have the subscription. I have canceled the subscription but haven't been able to get a refund. I'm just frustrated about the whole situation and that I even have to deal with this. They should have it setup better in my opinion. I don't think they should be allowed to keep doing it like that. It seems the same thing has happened to a lot of people and alot of them have had trouble getting their refund. It seems as if it's almost policy for them to do people like this and just hope that a certain percentage of them end up keeping it so they can make money and that's not right. There should be some kind of penalty or something or what's to keep them from continuing to do business this way. It seems obvious to me that if they do business this way and they're not held accountable and face no consequences when it happens, why would they not continue to do it. Jus because they know here and there they can get an extra customer or some more money.I think they should pay me for my trouble and time having to deal with this. In my particular situation I already had the money intended and committed to something else, so when that was taken off my debit card unexpectedly I had to pay a penalty on something else. So it cost me more than just not having the money at the time and having to deal with this. I don't have any extra or excess money on my card where I have room to have something like that happen without it causing me more financial problems. If I thought I could actually get it I would demand that they paid me extra for what I had to pay. And I'm having to get on here and do this just to hopefully get back my refund.Business Response

This is a classic example of Good Rx Bait & Switch:
I downloaded the Good Rx app looking for Aspirin 81 mg (Baby Aspirin). I saw that I could go to the CVS pharmacy in the Target Store at ************************************ When I arrived at the pharmacy and showed the pharmacist the $1.00 price for a bottle of 36 aspirins, I was told that I need to have my doctor write a paper prescription and then come back. On October 4th, I called Good Rx at ************ and asked for an explanation because the instructions on the app said to have a paper prescription. I got the prescription from my doctor. I also requested that a supervisor call me back to find out why an OTC would need a prescription to get the $1.00 price.
On October 7th, **** from Good Rx called ************** to advise that their coupons for OTC medications are such that the providers are in contract with pharmacies directly which is why I need a prescription to fill the medication and get the Good Rx discount. I have a recording of ****'s message. Ticket *********
On October 12th, my doctor finally found a pad of prescriptions and wrote it out for an OTC aspirin, 81 mg.
I went back to the pharmacy to get the aspirin, pulled up the Good Rx coupon on my app, and to my shock, found out the price had jumped to $3.56. I asked the pharmacist about this and she said, "that happens all the time. Good Rx changes prices whenever they want." Nothing is noted on their site that this is the way they operate.
I went home and called Good Rx and spoke to***** and told her about this. She said that yes, prices can change at any time. I told her I wanted to speak to another supervisor.***** continued to ask me if I wanted to upgrade to Gold and pay more money!!! I told her if I can't trust Good Rx to have the integrity to honor their prices listed on the app, why would I pay more to get the same horrible treatment, and continue to bait and switch?
Thank youBusiness Response

Hello*******************, we hope to help clear up any confusion regarding the issues you listed. GoodRx offers a prescription coupon service, we provide coupons for prescription medication. You must have a prescription to use a GoodRx coupon, we explain this on our "FAQ" page, third question down: ******************************************************** As well as on our "How to use a GoodRx coupon at the pharmacy" page here: ********************************************************** We can also understand the frustration that coupon prices are subject to change. Unfortunately, pharmacy cash prices fluctuate frequently--daily, weekly or monthly, and while we are able to provide prices for comparison, we do not have control over the prices. If you would like you can read more about that here on one of our support pages: **********************************************************************************-****************** We would like to thank you for this feedback and while we do list some of this information on our coupon page, below the specific coupon, we will look into making this information more visible moving forward.Initial Complaint

I got the gold subscription on a trial and was charged for it for goodness knows how long until I noticed and cancelled today. I'd like to get my two most recent payments refunded if not all of them as I have never used the app nor needed it for my prescriptions.Business Response

I schedule a ********** visit from their site and paid upfront $39, they advertised to provide a prescription sent to my pharmacy after consult. The nurse practitioner (seemed like an automated message- i was told that they cannot help and I needed to go to urgent care to be seen IN PERSON and they wont be able to prescribe any medicine. I asked to be reimbursed since they were not able to treat or do anything on the ********** chat. They did not respond to my messages or questions. Feels like a scam.Business Response

For three days I have asked for GoodRx to refill my prescription. They very obviously are purposely avoiding doing it to the point where they are sending prescription refills for items I didn't even ask for. I have been unable to get help and each person puts it off to the next. All of this is in writing through their chat feature.Business Response

I cancelled my goodrx account around july or august as i only needed to use it once, and as it was shown in the screenshot of my email I stopped receiving the emails because I unsubscribed from the program. However, this past tuesday I was charged again for the subscription even though i had cancelled it a month prior. I do not understand why I was still charged and do not want to continue being charged in the future.Business Response

I requested an appointment with GoodRx for one of the conditions listed as treatable through their site. After my payment was collected, the nurse practitioner said they could not treat me and I needed to be seen in person.
