ACE’s New Rewards Program & $25 Gift Card Giveaway

This giveaway has ended!  Congratulations to our winner, Kimberly!

With January in full swing, have you made a list of home repairs and cleaning projects that you hope to tackle in the New Year?  Since we rent, the extent of our list is replacing the faucets and fixing the toilet.  But, even those simple tasks can be expensive!  And, let’s face it, with rising taxes, gas prices, and inflation, it’s becoming increasingly painful to part with our money!

So, to help homeowners ring in 2013, Ace Hardware launched an Instant Savings program that allows Ace Rewards members to receive valuable discounts at the register.  Becoming an Ace Rewards member is free and very simple!  Just sign up online or stop by your local, participating Ace Hardware store to pick up a rewards card.

On top of instant savings, Ace Rewards members will receive:

:: 1,000 free sign up bonus points
:: 10 points for every $1 spent
:: Money saving coupons emailed to you
:: $5.00 reward for every 2,500 points earned
:: E-rebates click, don’t clip (love this one!)
:: Special members-only offers
:: Easy online reward management

My favorite part? Ace Rewards members no longer have to redeem rebates through the mail and run the risk of forgetting to include a crucial piece of information, making the rebate invalid.  Now, once you make your purchase (with your Ace rewards card), sign into your online account, input the product you purchased, and hit the submit button.  You’ll be able to track your rebate status, and never have the hassle of clipping UPC codes!

Be sure to “like” Ace Hardware on Facebook to keep up-to-date on their newest sales and freebies.  Several months ago, they offered a coupon for free paint – and, right now, they have a coupon for a Free Ace Bucket with a $25 purchase, valid through January 31, 2013.

Now, to everyone’s favorite part!  ACE Hardware is generously offering one of my readers a $25 gift card.  To enter, just let me know what home improvement task you would knock out if you win the gift card.   This contest is open to the US and will close at 11:59 PM on January 12, 2013.  I will draw the winner by Random.org, and they will have 48 hours to respond to the email notification that they won.
