With Roche’s Accu-Chek Connect application customers can connect compatible devices with their Walgreens Balance Rewards account and start earning points today! Access the full list of compatible devices on Roche’s website: https://www.accu-chek.com/microsites/connect/index.html
Roche has sold their devices through our stores for years and we think this integration builds on an amazing partnership. Their portal gives access to Accu-Chek Blood Glucose device readings which can be redeemed for Balance Rewards points via our Balance Rewards API.
"We are excited to announce the integration of Accu-Chek Connect System with the Walgreens Balance Rewards API," said Kimberly Ward, Group Marketing Manager, Regional Portfolio Development, Roche Diabetes Care. "People with diabetes want to stay on top of their disease. The Accu-Chek Connect meter and app help them understand how choices they make day to day can impact their test results. By linking this innovative solution with the Walgreens interface, Accu-Chek Connect users can actually be rewarded for something they do every day through their usual testing routine."

Swipe and Print: A New Method of Printing Photos with Walgreens
Walgreens is happy to welcome Swipe & Print, with a great user experience to the Walgreens family of innovative Photo Prints API integrations. You can get the application directly on the Apple App Store.
Swipe and Print, contains a unique user experience that allows for quickly picking the best photos on your phone and printing them at your local Walgreens or Duane Reade. With Swipe and Print you can flip through hundreds of photos in a "Tinder-like" fashion, and with a single tap upload them for printing.
"To print photos from my phone I wanted to combine an incredibly simple gesture, like swiping with an incredibly simple printing experience,” said John Brozena, Founder of UpStream Ideas. "The Walgreens Photo Prints API was the perfect choice for printing due to how simple they make it for users to complete their order without any friction."
