Kroger Community Rewards Renewal – It’s time for the annual re registration of Kroger cards to our Upbeat number. EVERYONE who has registered their card with Kroger needs to re register to our Upbeat Community Rewards number in order for the band to continue to receive credit after 5/1/14. REMEMBER, purchases will not count for our group until after you register your card(s). Please CLICK HERE for instructions on how to re register your card. Please do this as soon as possible by 4/30. If you have forgotten your password, just click on “forgot password” and a link will be sent to your email to change your password. Please CLICK HERE for instructions on how to register your card/account for the first time. You will need your KrogerPlus card or number to register. Do you use your phone number at the register? Call 800-576-4377, select option 4 to get your Kroger Plus card number. After registering, members must swipe their registered Kroger Plus card or use the phone number that is related to their registered Kroger Plus card when shopping for each purchase to count for the band. Last year we raised thousands of dollars through this generous community program. We hope to do even better this year, but we need you to make that happen. Register your Kroger Plus Card today. One simple sign up equals thousands of dollars for the Lakota West Upbeat Club — Many Thanks! Brandy
