Rite Aid gives cash back if you pay with a debit card and may also offer it with Apple Pay or Google Pay purchases.[1]
You can usually get up to $40 back per transaction, and there are no fees.[1]
Below, I explain more details of Rite Aid’s cash back policy.
Rite Aid Cash Back Policy
You can get cash back from any cashiered register at Rite Aid. However, you can’t get cash back at its self-checkout registers.[1]
There are also payment requirements and other policy details to keep in mind, as I explain below.
I confirmed this information by contacting Rite Aid stores in California, Michigan, and Virginia.
Requirements
All Rite Aid stores offer the option to get cash back when you pay with a debit card. Some locations also give cash back when you pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay.[1]
You can’t get cash back on a credit card, gift card, or personal check transaction.[1]
There is no minimum purchase required to receive cash back, meaning you can buy something as simple as a pack of mints to get cash back.[1]
Cash Back Amounts and Fees
There are no fees for getting cash back at Rite Aid.[1]
Available cash back amounts vary by location, but the maximum you can get at all Rite Aid stores is $40.[1]
Most locations offer denominations of $10, $20, $30, or $40 in cash back. You can also request smaller bills from the cashier if you need $1 or $5 bills.[1]
Tip: You’re not limited to a specific number of transactions per day. If you need more than $40, you can make multiple separate purchases and request cash back with each one.[1] However, keep in mind that it may be easier to visit a business with a higher limit or use an ATM if you need a large amount of cash back.
Alternatives
As noted above, due to its $40 limit per transaction, Rite Aid might not be the best option for you if you need a large amount of cash back.
Compare your other options — including the limit at each place — with the list of where to get cash back.
FAQ
This varies by location but is generally between $200 and $400.[1]
