Rewards "R" Us - Toys R Us wants to reward you for buying diapers, formula, greeting cards.

This morning while searching to win my Swag Bucks, I happened upon a link to a Toys R Us press release giving some details on a new rewards program. So, a little digging later, I found the site, which is can be found here. I do think it is a program worth signing up for even if your little ones are out of diapers and no longer take formula because you can earn a certificate for a free American Greetings greeting card once you purchase 5 cards.

They do have another promotion where you get $5 back for every $150 you spend from February 1-April 30, but that promotion is very close to over. Still, if you plan to make a large purchase over $150 by the end of the month, then definitely sign up. Perhaps another promo will come out, similar to the way Discover Card runs their quarterly promos. Let's hope! The language on another page leads me to believe that that is the case.

Here's some quick details on the Rewards "R" Us program:
  1. You must sign up. You can enroll by clicking here.
  2. You earn diaper rewards by buying either 9 Value Boxes of Pampers (64 ct - 252 ct) or 9 Value Boxes of Huggies (68 ct -264 ct), which earns you a certificate for a free box. Limit one redemption in a 9 month period.
  3. You earn formula rewards by buying 9 Nestle Good Start 32 ounce ready to feed cases, which is a certificate for a free case. If you use the powdered version, buy 9 cans of the 24 ounce or larger Nestle Good Start powder, you will get a certificate for one free can. You must purchase the formula within 12 months and you cannot mix and match. You need 9 of the same kind (powdered or ready to feed) of formula.
  4. You earn a free American Greetings greeting card for every 5 AG greeting cards that you purchase.
  5. You may receive special offers or discounts by email, and be notified of special events, including members only shopping hours.
  6. They track your purchases for this program, so you may receive a product recall if there is one on a product that you have purchased while part of the program.
  7. Certificates earned will be sent within 6-8 weeks.
So, the Rewards "R" Us program sounds interesting... who doesn't love a discount? Even if you don't have little ones, I do think that it is worth enrolling in the program just because there may be a money saving promotion at Christmastime. There's also a lot of room for double plays... like earning rewards on diapers, but paying for the transaction with your Discover Card so you earn cash back on the purchase too. Not to mention coupons!

A permanent card will be mailed to you, so if you plan to make purchases right away, be sure to printout the temporary card that appears when enrollment is complete.

New promo for May-July:

Earn $5 for every $150 spent from
May 1 – July 31 (up to $4050)*

Of course, excludes those items like diapers and formula eligible for their other rewards, but still, if you were going to spend at least $150, then it is worth it to sign up for the Rewards R Us program.
