CareCredit, Costa Mesa, Calif, a division of Synchrony Financial, is celebrating its 30th birthday. According to the company, it all started with a simple idea: Everyone deserves a smile. Patients needed a way to help pay for dental implants so they could comfortably enjoy eating and smiling. CareCredit was born, and the brand has evolved to be a leading provider of financing to people in need of hearing care. Along with financing for hearing aids, assistive devices, and services, the company also provides financing for dentistry, vision, LASIK and cosmetic surgery, chiropractic care, and even veterinary care for cardholders’ pets.
According to the company, the CareCredit credit card is a flexible payment option available at more than 200,000 locations across the United States, including audiology, dental, and vision practices, as well as health-focused retailers such as LensCrafters, Rite-Aid and Bowflex. With nearly $70 billion of care financed since 1987, CareCredit has helped millions of people with everything from their family’s dental and hearing health to veterinary care for their pets.
Along with advances in care, the CareCredit health, wellness, and personal care credit card has expanded its breadth of services and reach during the last 30 years:
- More than 24 million accounts opened since inception.
- More than 12,000 people apply for a CareCredit card nearly every day to help pay for care.
- A new cardholder is approved, on average, every 14 seconds.
- On average, more than 822,000 card acceptance locator searches on carecredit.com every month via desktop and mobile.
- More than two-thirds of all dental practices and more than 7 out of 10 veterinary practices in the nation accept CareCredit.
“We started so we could help patients move forward with care,” said CareCredit CEO Dave Fasoli. “It’s still what keeps us moving forward after 30 years. We’re proud of the fact that we’ve continued to reliably serve healthcare providers and their patients and clients through many changes in the healthcare environment. We help thousands of people every day and millions of people every year. Our focus remains offering our cardholders more ways to use the card, in more places, for more things.”

I was able to get a crown recently without having to go into my savings or my monthly retirement salary. As a retiree, CareCredit allows me to get work done on my teeth that I would otherwise have to save up for or charge, incurring debt. It is great comfort to me. Thank you CareCredit.

I needed dental work because I had cancer in my neck and had to have some teeth removed. Couldn’t afford the dentist so care credit stepped in so I could get ready for my cancer surgery. Thanks care credit cancer is gone they got it all.
I would like to enter the Sweepstakes of 30 years Anniversary from 5-12-2017 to 6-30-2017
would like to win to pay off dental work.
I can’t remember exactly when I applied for and was approved for the Care Credit card but it was either when one of my rescued cats or dogs needed surgery or everyone was due for their vaccines or after 2 of my fogs decided to fight with rach other and both needed stutches and pain medicines. The card has come in handy allowing me to offer proper care for each of my pets on a regular basis as well as in emergency situations.

This story actually begun several years ago. My Beloved Cheyenne was an outdoor cat until she got poked in the eye by a cactus. There was only one place in town that was an eye specialist and of course it was expensive being it was a specialist. I saw the Care Credit sigh and asked about it. I got approved within minutes and it helped SO MUCH to help provide the help Cheyenne needed and the financial help we needed to pay for her medical needs. Later the card also helped us to pay for insulin that she needed later in life. I can’t say enough. When we needed it, it was a life saver!! Happy Kitty Happy life!
I was wondering the same thing.when are you going to post the winners?
My neighbors puppy got ran over and crawled on our porch. The neighbor didn’t have the money to take sweet Girl to the pet hospital. My husband and I decided quickly to take her ourselves. She had a badly broken hip and was in a lot of pain. I explained our money situation and was offered care credit. Now Jenny is our dog and I can’t imagine our life without her. Thanks care credit . You saved her and us!!!!
Love the convenience of this card. It has helped me at the dentist and veterinarian and optician offices on many occasions. I am on a fixed income. It is a huge help being able to stretch out my payments.

Joining the Sweepstake of the 30 year anniversary of caring
what our are chances of winning/?
I was lucky enough to have care credit when my little dog got sick, and also used it to pay for my dentures as my insurance doesn’t pay very much. I will probably use it again in the future.
