As you begin working towards a Bonus, a bar will start circling the Bonus image, letting you know your progress. Once you finish a Bonus it will color-in, showing your success. Be sure to read the Bonus details of each Bonus to confirm your purchase(s) qualify! Still have questions? Learn more.

Q: Can I redeem more than one of a featured product?
A: At this time, all of our offers are featured for single verification and no additional cash back will be awarded for multiple purchases of the same product.
