Grocery Card Fundraiser Program

Kroger

• Cards cost $1 and are payable by cash/check to the TWHS Band Boosters Club.

• You must “recharge” the card before purchasing groceries.  Go to the Customer Service Center and request any amount up to $500.00, in $100.00 increments. You can have more than one card. You can “recharge” cards with cash, check, or credit card (for airline miles!). I have heard that at times, Kroger will not allow checks for reloads.  This varies and is fairly inconsistent among stores.  Just be prepared in case you run into this circumstance.   

• When the card is depleted, recharge and continue using.

• For each $100.00 recharge, the student you designate receives $5.00 credit.

• You can buy Kroger Cards from the following locations:

-          Coldwell Banker United Realtors  1500 Research Forest (behind Woodforest Bank), Arlene – 281-367-7989

Grocery Card FAQ’s

·            Can I buy more than one card?  Yes. Each card will be assigned to one student. (When you first buy a Kroger rechargeable card, ensure the card number matches the sign-up sheet line number).

·            Do the cards expire?  A Kroger gift card with a zero balance for over 90 days will be voided out of the system. You must then buy a new card. Try to keep at least $1.balance on the card or recharge it regularly to maintain its currency. Randall’s and HEB cards do not expire, but may become “dormant” after twelve months of non-use.

·            Can the credit for my card go to more than one student?  No. You must buy a card for each student.

·            How does my child receive credit for my Kroger recharges?  TWHS Band Boosters receives a monthly statement from Kroger indicating the card number (on the back of the card,) a “recharge” date(s) for that card number, and the dollar amount. (When you buy the card, the number on the back of the card will be assigned to the student you designate.)

·            Can I recharge the Kroger card for amounts other than increments of $100.00? Kroger will allow this, BUT our bookkeeping system only allows for increments of $100.00. Please recharge in increments of $100.00!

·            Can I recharge the Kroger card when I checkout with my groceries?  The Kroger gift card must be recharged and paid for PRIOR to being used as payment for groceries. In other words, you must tell the cashier you wish to recharge the card as a separate transaction from the grocery purchase. You can only recharge a card at the checkout for a maximum of $100.00. Requests for more than $100.00 must be processed at the Customer Service desk.

·            I have lost my card. Can it be replaced?  No. If you lose the card, you must purchase a new one. However, the balance of your lost Kroger rechargeable card can be transferred to your new card. Please buy the replacement card from our regular outlets.

·            Can I buy a card at a Kroger or Randall’s or HEB store and tell them it is for TWHS Band Boosters? NO!! Cards must be purchased from our organization to receive credit. You can buy them at the outlets listed on the preceding page.

·            What can I purchase with the card?  You can purchase anything in a Kroger/Randall’s/HEB store (and other participating stores nationwide listed on the cards) with a gift card with the exception of Courtesy Booth services. Services include: money orders, lottery tickets, stamps, hunting/fishing licenses, and Western Union. If you are unsure, ask someone at the Customer Service counter. Fuel can be purchased at Randall’s and HEB only if an attendant is present.

·            How do I know the balance of the card?  The balance of the card is always printed at the bottom of the last receipt. See the back of the card for other methods of obtaining your balance.

·            Can friends or relatives use a card?  Yes. The gift cards are accepted in all Kroger/Randall’s/HEB Stores and affiliates throughout the U.S. They can be sent to friends or family locally or out of state and still benefit your student. (Be sure to purchase them here, from the outlets listed above).

If you have further questions or problems please feel free to call or email me anytime.  I will have all gift cards available at booster meetings and other events. The businesses that allow gift cards to be sold at their locations do this as a service to TWHS Band Boosters. They cannot answer questions about the program. Please show your appreciation for their help by patronizing their businesses.
