The Kroger Neighborhood Reward Program offers a  great way to earn money to apply towards soccer expenses with minimum selling and solicitation required.  Krogers donates 4% of the funds you load onto your Krogers Neighborhood Rewards Gift Card.  Simply load up the card and use it to make food and gasoline purchases. SCSA will credit the entire 4% to your team to apply to team expenses. There are no fees or hidden costs. 

The program has been a huge success with many teams.

Here's how it works: 
Request a Kroger Gift Card by contacting Todd Kraus (ToddK@hillsinc.com).  Provide Todd with your name, player(s) name and SCSA Team(s).  You must get the card from Todd in order for it to be linked to SCSA and for you to get the 4% credit. The information will be needed for tracking purposes. The card will come with a $1 credit.  You can reload the card with any amount up to $500 by visiting the Krogers service desk or up to $100 directly at the register as long it is done in a seperate transaction prior to ringing up your groceries. If your card reaches a zero balance DO NOT THROW IT AWAY, just reload it and continue using it for your purchases.

What can be purchased with gift cards? 
You can purchase any merchandise in a Krogers store with the exception of services. Services include: Money Orders, Western Union, Lottery Tickets, Stamps, and Ticket Master. Gift cards are now accepted at local Kroger Fuel Centers.

How much can I make?
Spend $1000 a month on food and gas.

$1,000 x 12  = $12,000 ==> $480 cash back annually

Where can I use the Card: 
The Gift Card is accepted in all Kroger Affiliated Stores throughout the U.S. Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, Fry's & Fry's Marketplace, King Soopers, Dillons, Smith's Food & Drug, City Market, QFC, Food 4 Less, Owen's, FoodsCo., Hilander, Pay-Less, Cala-Bell, Baker's, JaC, Fred Meyer Jewelers, and Littman & Barclay Jewelers.

Can I have more then one card?
Absolutely. Get one for each parent, get the grandparents involved, how about the the cousins in Tennessee, or your friends and neighbors.

How do I receive my cash back reward? 
Krogers will send a check to SCSA monthly for 4% of all money reloaded onto gift cards associated with SCSA.  Krogers also sends a report that breaks out the reload amounts by card number.  Checks will be sent out to teams for the amounts earned by their parents.  It will be up to each teams discreation how the funds will be dispursed.
