Step-by-Step
- Go to Monerica.com → Businesses → Gift & Prepaid Cards → select XMR.cards. Then click See all brands.
- Filter Category: Drugstores and choose Walgreens (US).
- Enter an amount between $5–$500 (about 1% fee applies) and click Create Order.
- Click Show payment details. Copy the wallet address or scan the QR code, and send the exact XMR amount displayed.
- Once payment is detected, you’ll see a transaction hash. After ~10 confirmations, a link appears to load the gift card.
- Open the link to view the card number and PIN/CVV. You can also generate a PDF with a barcode.
- Install/open the Walgreens app → Payment Methods → Add gift card → enter the card number and PIN/CVV.
- Checkout: Choose Pickup or Delivery, add items to cart, and submit your order. Pick up in-store when ready.
Barcode vs. App Method
Some stores may not be able to scan the PDF barcode reliably. If scanning fails, the app method works well:
- Ensure a solid internet connection.
- Add the gift card to the Walgreens app with its number and PIN/CVV.
- Use the gift card balance during online checkout, then pick up in store.
Tips
- Send the exact XMR amount shown by XMR.cards.
- Wait for the confirmations—your load link appears afterward.
- Keep your card number and PIN/CVV private.
- If barcode scanning fails, use the in-app payment method.
