CINCINNATI (AP) - Kroger Co. wants a share of the tax rebates going out in the next few weeks.
The Cincinnati-based grocery chain is offering gift cards with an extra $30, $60 or $120 added to them if taxpayers exchange their checks for gift cards at a Kroger store.
People should start rebates of up to $600 and $1,200 respectively for individuals and couples with another $300 per child beginning next month.
Kroger says gift card amounts correspond to the payment amounts outlined by the Internal Revenue Service for the stimulus program.
A shopper turning a check into a $600 gift card would get two gift cards totaling $660.

You guys who call this a scam are idiots. I bought a $1200 card several weeks ago. I got $1320 in gift cards, for $120 extra. I used a credit card that gives me a 3% rebate on grocery store purchases for another $36. And their dumb computer credited me with a $1200 grocery purchase, so I get 10 cents per gallon off gas for more fillups than I can use in a month. I shop at Krogers anyway, so its a great deal.

Hmmmm....the way I hear it, several employees are on suspension at this very moment due to this gift card idea. Someone should investigate that.
