I was wondering whether we had to use our entire $1200 tax incentive check, so I sought out clarification. We'll be using our refund check to take advantage of this. We'll use our $1200 to put in the savings account.
FROM THE KROGER WEBSITE:
Beginning May 2, New Program Gives Kroger Customers an Extra $30, $60 or $120 When They Turn Their Tax Refund or Economic Stimulus Checks into Kroger Gift Cards
The program will be available throughout Kroger stores nationwide - including Kroger, Baker's, City Market, Dillons, Fred Meyer, Fry's, Gerbes, Hilander, Jay C, King Soopers, Owen's, Pay Less, Ralphs, Smith's and QFC stores. Kroger customers who are interested in exchanging their refunds or economic stimulus checks should present their check and customer loyalty card at their local store's Customer Service center from May 2, 2008 through July 31, 2008. The program is limited to one offer per household with a limit of $1,200.00.
Customers who do not have a hard copy of their government-issued checks may still take advantage of this offer with cash, a credit card or by presenting a valid personal check to the Customer Service center. Kroger Gift cards do not expire. Bonus amounts cannot be used toward the purchase of alcohol, lottery tickets, pharmaceuticals or tobacco products.
Amounts that differ from those outlined [$300, $600, 1200 Economic Stimulus amounts] will be turned into gift cards in $300.00, $600.00 or $1,200.00 increments with the bonus amounts added on and the remainder returned to the customer. For example, if a customer has a tax refund or stimulus check of $415.50, the customer will receive a Kroger gift card valued at $330.00 and the remaining $115.50 will be returned to the customer.
