Kroger, Sears and K-mart are all offering incentives for spending your rebate check in their stores.

All three stores are offering a 10% bonus to shoppers if they cash in their entire rebate check for the store's gift card.

For example, if you cash in a $600 rebate check for a $600 Kroger gift card, Kroger will give you an additional $60 on a gift card. The same goes for Sears and K-mart.

The rebates are part of a $168 million dollar economic stimulus plan passed by Congress. Under the plan, individuals who have filed their tax returns for the year can receive up to $600 and families can get up to $1,200.

The checks are set to arrive in mailboxes and bank accounts beginning in May. They are meant to provide cash for consumers to spend.
