Your entire visit from the moment you walk in the doors until the moment you depart is captured by store video, and you cannot remain in the program if the details of your shop do not match store video. Any visit with an arrival before 11am or after 6pm and/or that does not last at least 15 minutes and include a proper interaction with an associate cannot be accepted or paid.
