Hello do you have to purchase the item on the store that shows on app like target had all my items but the item shows available on Walmart or dollar get it I purchased on target can I still submit the receipt and get the cash back thanks

[@mariocartel544]

If you click into the store it lists everything that qualifies, some won't work at other stores and sometimes other stores might have a different deal for the same items. So maybe target has $3 back on a 57ct tide pods and maybe walgreens doesn't have any offers for them and maybe walmart is buy 2 get $6 back on the same one. Just have to double check and read the full details. If you click on the item/offer itself it will show how many you need to buy or what the limit is and what size products qualify and any exclusions, then below that a list of stores the offer is good for.
