Numerous charities are available should you choose to donate. Any balance over $10 will remain in your account with myGini and will count towards your next $10 threshold. 

For Hotel, Travel & Theme Park Rewards booked via myGini, within 7 business days of the relevant stay, our partner Access Development Systems will post the Cash Back Reward in the form of a statement credit back to the payment card you used for the booking. The payment network/processor (Visa/Mastercard and other processors) then settles the credit/refund which nets to 2-4 business days before you can see the statement credit. In short, for Hotels, the cashback should hit your card in about 10 days. You don’t need to do anything extra. 

What about the status of my online purchases & cashback notifications?2022-12-27T22:34:19+00:00
