Alternatives
Family Dollar isn’t the only place to get cash back. Other stores may have higher limits or lower fees that better suit your needs.

If Family Dollar’s cash back policy meets your needs, you might still want to consider Dollar Tree as an alternative.
Dollar Tree has a cash back policy similar to Family Dollar’s but offers even lower prices for some of the items it sells. See more about the Dollar Tree cash back policy.
