1. Kroger Cards		$5 each
Contact: Linda Gibson
388-4458 (home) 355-1466 (cell) gibsonL@rhodes.edu		Purchase a Kroger gift card from Band Boosters for $5. The card is pre-loaded with $5. Before making purchases at any Kroger location in the U.S., load card with desired amount of money and use that card to pay. You can also make gas purchases at Kroger locations with pumps. 5% of all purchases are added to the student’s band account with a 1-2 month posting delay. Note: Cards with a zero-balance for 6 months are deactivated. There is a 10-minute delay from the time a Kroger card is reloaded until the money is available on the card to be used. You will need to reload your card when you first enter the store at Customer Service or at a cash register with no line. This is supposed to be a “safety feature” that has been implemented for all gift cards at all Kroger stores. Please alert anyone using the cards to add to your son/daughter’s student accounts.
2. Schnuck's Cards		No cost
Contact: Linda Gibson
388-4458 (home) 355-1466 (cell) gibsonL@rhodes.edu		Pick up a Schnucks gift card from Band Boosters. The card is free and not pre-loaded. Before making purchases at any Schnucks location in the Memphis area, load card with desired amount of money and use that card to pay. You cannot make gas purchases at Schnucks locations with pumps. 5% of all purchases are added to the student’s band account with a 1-2 month posting delay. Note: Cards with a zero-balance for 6 months are deactivated. After 12 months of non-use, a service charge of $1.50 per month will be deducted from the balance of the card.
