Loblaws Coupon Program
updated November 29, 2007
In mid-1999 the Titans Water Polo Association began participating in
the Loblaws Coupon program. Overall, this program was viewed as highly
successful as it brought us a relatively easy stream of funds to help
families offset the costs of water polo. We are continuing the program
this year, which has been changed by Loblaws into a Gift Card
Program.
Summary of the Loblaws Electronic Gift Card
Program
-
It's so easy - use the Gift Cards as you would any debit card for your
food purchase.
-
Gift Cards can be used at any Loblaws store in Canada. Gift Cards can
also
be used at many Independent Grocers as well as some
Food
Basics stores (please check with the stores nearest you).
- To keep it simple, the Gift Cards are available in $100
denominations.
-
These electronic Gift Cards come pre-activated to the specified
denomination
amount, and are electronically debited by the amount of a purchase,
until
a zero value is reached.
-
You will receive new cards each month, and they stay activated for 2
years.
-
It is important to note that, unlike the previous Coupon Program, there
is no change offered for purchases made with the Gift Cards.
-
Loblaws will make a donation to the Titans Water Polo for each Gift
Card
purchased, and this helps the club in keeping down our fees.
Titans Family Commitment
-
Participation in the Loblaws Gift Card program is mandatory for
each
family. Each family commits to purchase $6000 of Loblaws Gift
Cards OR to a $300 buyout fee for the 2007-2008 season. The $300 buy
out fee may be paid for in 2 installments, September 15 and January 15.
-
All cheques for Gift Cards (or buyout) should be made payable to
Titans
Water Polo.
- If you are participating, post-dated cheques totaling $6000 are
payable on registration. The amount of $6000 can be purchased over the
next twelve months (starting Oct 1st). For example, you may wish to
participate for 10 months therefore you would pay for and receive $600
Gift Cards per month from October through July inclusive for a total of
$6000.
-
Cheques should be dated the first of each month payable to Titans Water
Polo. If you would prefer to pay twice a month, one cheque should be
dated
the 15th of the previous month, and the second dated the 1st of the
next
month.
-
For example, if you provide one cheque for $500 dated October 1, you
will
receive your $500 of Gift Cards the first week of October. If you
provide
two cheques, one dated September 15 for $250 and another one dated
October
1 for $250, you will receive your $500 of Gift Cards the first week-end in
October.
-
If at any time you wish to change the amount or the denominations yu
are
purchasing, simply e-mail the contact below before the 20th of any
given
month.
-
Gift Cards will normally be available on the 1st Sunday practice of
each month via your team manager. Every effort is made to ensure you
receive adequate notice of the timing for the Card distribution.
