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.
you can use your credit card to buy the gift cards not your check
