The price increase went into effect April 1, 2025. Please speak to Pat Lalonde for details. Keep saving your Dash’s receipts. They allow us to submit prior year receipts so any old receipts from 2023 are effectively expired going forward. For every $5,000 in receipts we submit, we earn $125. Even small purchases add up!
