You can usually get up to $40 cash back at Circle K for a $1 fee. However, because some Circle K gas stations are independently owned, the policy may vary slightly by location. [1]

I’ve compiled more details of Circle K’s cash back policy below, plus where else to go if Circle K doesn’t meet your needs.

Circle K Cash Back Policy

Most Circle K locations offer the option to get cash back at the register inside the convenience store. [1]

Keep in mind, however, that some Circle K locations are independently owned and operated franchises, so policies may vary slightly by store. [2] [3] [1]

I contacted Circle K stations in Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming in order to confirm more details of its cash back policy.

Fees and Limits

You can typically get up to $40 cash back at Circle K for a fee of $1. [1]

Some locations offer predetermined amounts, including $5, $10, $20, and $40. Others will allow you to select any cash back amount from $1 to $40. [1]

Requirements

You can only get cash back at Circle K when paying with a debit card. You can’t get cash back on a credit card, personal check, or with Apple or Google Pay. [1]

There are no minimum purchase requirements, so you can get cash back when buying something as simple as a pack of gum or bottle of water. [1]

Alternatives

If Circle K’s fees and limits don’t work for you, there are other places where you can fuel up and get cash back.

Compare your cash back options at other stations, such as QT and 7-Eleven, with the list of gas stations that do cash back.

Tip: If you need a larger amount of cash back, it’s best to visit a grocery store or superstore rather than a gas station. Some stores have limits of up to $200 or more and offer cash back with additional payment methods like credit cards or personal checks. See the list of stores where you can get cash back.
