The retailer also said it would be reinstating the stolen points.
Customers are being urged to make sure they have strong passwords, including numbers, capital letters, and special characters.
Other bits of advice to customers include logging out of your rewards account as soon as you're finished using it as well as downloading the Everyday Rewards app and turning on push notifications to allow you to instantly see suspicious transactions.
