The Member is responsible for providing the relevant and correct Account information from any previous Loyalty Programmes and making sure that the Cashback is transferred. Dining Rewards Club will set a cut-off date by when any Member can link and transfer old Cashback Dollars. The cut-off date will be communicated to the Member via email.
