I got mine, did you get yours?

For those of you who have a Rewards card with Smith's you should have received something like this in the mail last week or early this week. It came in a gold envelope and looked like it might have been junk mail, but it wasn't.

Now some of you might be wondering why my certificate is only for $10.00 because I have been shopping at Smith's for a while and this is the first one I have received in the mail and the reason for that is because up until 2 months ago I was using the WRONG fresh values card!!! I was going to the store and swiping my card like always and still getting the benefits of the reduced prices, but I wasn't earning any points until one day a cashier informed me that I was using the old Fresh Values card - you know the one from like 3 years ago that had pictures of produce on the front. She handed me a new application and explained that while that card gives me the lower prices it doesn't accrue points so by switching to the new plan I get the reduced price and earn points which in turn gives me certificates for FREE GROCERIES in the mail.

Why am I telling you this? Because you may be just like I was and hadn't been to Smith's in such a long time because you thought it was easier to go to Walmart and you may be using the wrong card! So if you aren't sure if you are earning points that turn into dollars ask the cashier the next time you go to Smith's and they will help you out!

The other bonus is that not only did I receive a certificate in the mail, but I also received tons of coupons for items that I use everyday!! SWEET!
