CHUCK & DON’S REWARDS PROGRAM, “FRIENDS OF CHUCK” 

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS 

The Friends of Chuck Rewards Program (“Program”) is sponsored by Independent Pet Partners (IPP Buyer Acquisition, LLC). 

 

PROGRAM BENEFITS 

A rewards member earns points for product and service purchases made in-store or online at chuckanddons.com. Every month, points are automatically converted into reward vouchers that can be redeemed in-store or online. Members can also earn rewards (free products) through the Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro).  

 

EARNING & REDEEMING REWARD VOUCHERS 

Subject to these terms and conditions, a rewards member earns points for purchases made online at chuckanddons.com. Every month, points are automatically converted into reward vouchers and/or free food vouchers that can be redeemed in-store or online. One (1) point is earned for every dollar spent on products or services. IPP will round to the nearest whole dollar spent when calculating points: for example, $50.51 is rounded to 51 points while $50.49 is rounded to 50 points. 

 

For every one (1) point, the member accumulates $0.04 in rewards. Points will be totaled at the end of each calendar month and any earned reward vouchers will be emailed to members by the 15th day of the following month. Members can use all or part of a reward voucher on a single transaction. IPP will track any remaining value on the voucher through the expiration date noted on the voucher. Points may be earned only at the time of sale by providing the email address associated with a member’s account during checkout.  

 

Non-merchandise items such as shopping bags, donations, gift cards and tips will not earn points. No points are earned for the purchase of gift cards, but points may be earned on purchases made by redeeming gift cards. Points will not accrue on taxes or shipping charges or for any portion of a purchase paid for with reward vouchers.  

 

Reward vouchers are treated as tender and will be applied to all purchases after the application of any coupons or discounts. Points will be deducted from any purchases that are returned or refunded. Points are not assignable or transferable and may not be combined or bundled with the points of any other member(s). Reward vouchers can be redeemed online by entering the voucher number in the “Promo code, reward voucher or gift card” field on the checkout page. IPP is not responsible for missing or stolen points or reward vouchers/free food vouchers. 

 

Members may contact IPP Customer Service at 855-977-1119 to submit receipts for transactions that did not have their member account added at the time of purchase. The receipt information must be submitted for claims within 90 calendar days from the original transaction date. Members may have no more than three (3) receipt assignments applied to their membership account within a 30-day period and may not receive credit for a transaction occurring prior to their enrollment date. 

 

Members will earn rewards (4% back) on all qualifying purchases made in-store or online at an IPP retail banner (currently Chuck & Don’s or Kriser’s). If a member shops across multiple retail banners, they will earn a combined reward (4% back) for their purchase. The reward will be issued by the primary banner where they shopped. The reward voucher can be used in-store at Chuck & Don’s, in-store at Kriser’s or online at the store that issued the voucher (Chuck & Don’s OR Kriser’s). 

 

EARNING & REDEEMING FREE FOOD & TREATS THROUGH THE FREQUENT BUYER PROGRAM (Powered by ASTRO) 

Members can earn additional free products by participating in the Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro). To earn free products, members must create an Astro Loyalty Account with a team member in-store or sign up at chuckanddons.com. To earn credits toward a Frequent Buyer Card (powered by Astro), members must provide a valid email address and phone number as part of their member account. To earn credits for online purchases, members must log in or create an online account with the same email address and click “connect Astro Loyalty Account” before completing the online transaction. Qualifying items will automatically be credited toward the member’s Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro) for connected accounts.  

 

Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro) credits must be logged at the time of purchase, either in-store or online; credits cannot be claimed after the time of purchase. 

 

Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro) rewards are set by participating manufacturers and are subject to change at the manufacturer's discretion. A new Frequent Buyer Card (powered by Astro) may be created for each size of product purchased. The lowest priced item will be free. The member is responsible for the sales tax for the free product. Additional program terms may be applied by the manufacturer. 

 

Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro) rewards for in-store and online purchases are tracked separately by each IPP retail banner (currently Chuck & Don’s and Kriser’s). Members can earn Frequent Buyer Program (powered by Astro) rewards at each banner, but rewards cannot be combined.
