Rakuten's Target terms quietly changed, "Health" is now excluded
Just sharing for anyone who was not aware. I ordered Tylenol on my last target.com purchase and noticed that Rakuten had $0.00 "pending". I submitted a Help request for missing cash back (for a whopping 12cents) and I received a denial email stating that Tylenol was excluded for being "Pharmacy and OTC."
I have purchased Tylenol, Advil, etc. before and I've always received cash back for it. I assumed under the HEALTH category or maybe Personal Care, but I see that HEALTH is now removed.
TARGET has this product under their HEALTH category though.
I don't know when this changed on Rakuten but thought it was worth mentioning.
I replied to the email that I had been going by Rakuten's previous terms that included a Health category, and previously covered cash back purchases for Tylenol + Advil. I got another response giving me the $0.12 cents (which I was not expecting at that point).
Anyway, I've had this copied & pasted because I could never remember what items are included or excluded under Rakuten's Target terms.
