Does Meijer do cash back at self-checkout?
It depends on the store. Some Meijer self-checkout lanes offer cash back and others do not carry cash, so a staffed register is the reliable option.
How to get cash back at Meijer
- Buy at least one item. Cash back is added to a purchase and cannot be requested by itself.
- Pay with a debit card, insert the chip and enter your PIN. Credit cards are not offered cash back.
- When the terminal asks "Cash back?", choose an amount up to $50.
- Take the cash from the cashier or the self-checkout dispenser. It appears on your receipt and bank statement as part of the purchase.
If you tap your phone or card and the terminal skips the cash back question, the payment ran without a PIN. Ask the cashier to void it and insert the card instead.
