Best credit card to use at Duane Reade.

Drugstore

Duane Reade is the New York City banner of Walgreens, with roughly 250 locations concentrated in the five boroughs and surrounding suburbs. The format is essentially a Walgreens drugstore adapted to dense urban real estate, often with a heavier prepared food and convenience selection. Duane Reade codes as a drugstore, so any drugstore category bonus card (Amex Blue Cash Preferred, Citi Custom Cash on drugstores) will earn its full multiplier. The myWalgreens loyalty program works at Duane Reade registers as well.
