"I was told I needed to use injections to travel internationally with a blood clot. The cash price for a box of ten shots (five-day supply) cost $1,400, while my insurance was $1,150. Unfortunately, I had not yet met my deductible so I was on the hook for all of it. The Columbia Alumni Association card enabled me to shop online in the privacy of my home and I found my medication for $720 directly across the street from my usual pharmacy."
Maria Todd, UT
"Thank you. This card is wonderful. God bless you."
Marlene O, FL
"I used your program at a Walgreens in Kissimmee, FL. My receipt stated that the retail price on my Rx was $73.99, with my Columbia Alumni Association card I was only charged $28.34. I even had them run a couple other discount cards to compare, and yours was by far the best discount. Very impressed!"
Sandie Crook, Kissimmee, FL
"I take several medications each month however my insurance TennCare will only pay for five of them. This program has helped me afford those medications that are not covered, thank you for this much needed service."
Shann Beme, TN
"Thank you for creating a program that helps so many people save money on their medications. Thank you again for all that you do."

"I took my dog to the vet and he put him on Meloxicam 7.5 mg to help with his painful legs (Lucky is a senior citizen). He gave me the bottle of 100 pills, told me how inexpensive it was and added $50 to my bill. I got home and brought up the Columbia Alumni Association site to compare the price. Lo and behold - I could have got the same 100 pills at the pharmacy for a little under $19! Next time I know to ask for the prescription, so I can fill it myself."
Luisa Caverly, Charlotte, NC
"What a great service and offer that helps people!"
JD Blair, Unknown
"Unfortunately, I had to get an Rx filled for a 30-day supply of Tamsulosin. The pharmacy told me the cost would be $58.00. I asked them to check my Columbia Alumni Association card price and the cost went down to $12.76. What a rip-off without the card."
Marty Portnoy, Deerfield IL
"Thank you all so much y'all are saving me literally $300 a month. God bless you all."
Scott Bartlett, Unknown
"I work at a clinic that treats MS, Parkinson's, Seizures, ALS, and numerous sleep disorders. I plan to distribute this card to any of my patients who need assistance. A patient called in tears because she could not afford her medication, I searched and found your website. By using the Columbia Alumni Association card she was able to afford her medication."
Amanda Swanson, Gloucester, VA
"I used this card and it saved me over $100.00. Thank you"
Connie Nichols, Delavan, WI
"I wanted to let you know that after receiving the Columbia Alumni Association card, I called my pharmacy to refill four of my monthly prescriptions. Without the Columbia Alumni Association card, my four prescriptions would have been $147. With the card my cost was only $62, a whopping savings of $85. Thanks for making me aware of the Columbia Alumni Association card. I'm excited about my future $$$. savings!!"
Kirk Edgerton, Raleigh, NC
"My dog needs prescription medication for her auto immune disease. I have used your prescription saving card at Walmart multiple times, and every time it was honored, and I received a discount. Thank you for the savings and free card."
Lisa Hebert, Utica NY
"At the risk of sounding like a commercial, if you don't have one of these cards go grab one for free. I ignored it forever not understanding what they did, but when my insurance would not cover certain medications I tried the card and it has made a world of difference. So, if you're in that same boat with a medication or don't have prescription coverage, get one. There is no catch, it just saves you money."
J Skidds, Unknown
"I filled my husband's two prescriptions at our local Hannaford store using my Columbia Alumni Association card. The first prescription's retail price was $62.99 but I only paid $13.55. The second prescription's retail price was $105.01 but with your card I only paid $14.67, and that was for a 90-day prescription! I compared these prices to my prescription copay and you still won hands down. Thank you for the savings!"
Sonya Macdonald, South Paris, ME
"I have a friend who has a $65 copay on her son's medication and it is increasing to $100 or more. I introduced her to your card and she found a pharmacy within 3 miles of her house where she could get the medication for $13.97... AMAZING! Not like the dozen other saving cards I have seen come and go."
