Q:  Why do you need my phone number or email?

Kinney Drugs uses the tHRiVe card account # and the shopper’s phone/email to validate their identity to setup an account. As the program continues to grow, members will be able to receive digital coupons and special offers via email. With a linked phone number, members will have the ability to enter their number at the register if they do not have their card readily available.
