A Grants Pass, Ore. resident, takes home $55,000 as KickBack Points Points’ 2016 Grand Prize winner.
Locally-owned My Circle K, powered by Colvin Oil, announced that the winner of the 2016 Kickback Grand Prize is a Grants Pass, Ore. resident.
The winner of the grand prize, Verna Dietert, has been a KickBack Points cardholder for five years. Her loyalty paid off this week when she was named the winner of Kickback’s 2016 Grand Prize contest just for using her Kickback Points card at participating convenience stores and gas stations.
“I am so excited and still can’t believe it really happened,” Dietert said, who was notified on Feb. 17 that her name was selected at random from the hundreds of thousands of eligible KickBack cardholders. “I always use my KickBack card because it’s fun collecting points and getting free stuff, but I never imagined that being a KickBack member would so rewarding. Thank you KickBack!”
Dietert, who is a loyal Circle K customer in Grants Pass, Ore, said she first registered for the KickBack card in 2012. She uses the card several times per week when filling up the Circle K, which is owned by Medford, Ore.-based Colvin Oil, or when shopping inside the store for energy drinks and snacks.
As KickBack’s Grand Prize winner, Dietert had a choice between a 2017 Corvette Stingray or the cash equivalent. She opted for the cash, which she called “life changing.”
“A lot of family and friends wanted me to take the car, but I will be able to help my kids and do a lot of good things with the money,” Dietert said. “It’s a life-changing experience that couldn’t have come at a better time.”
Colvin Oil and My Circle K introduced the Kickback loyalty program to the Rogue Valley five years ago this April.
“We added the kickback loyalty program to our My Circle K stores and our gas stations to reward customers, and this is the biggest reward of them all. We couldn’t be happier that the winner comes from our hometown,” said Lane Colvin.
Pat Lewis, CEO of KickBack Points, said customers have been earning rewards since the company was founded in 2000. As the program has grown, so have the prizes.
“It’s extremely important to recognize your loyal customers and how important they are to your business,” Lewis said. “That’s why KickBack Points is so proud to support our retailer partners with special programs like the annual Grand Prize giveaway that allow their customers to win cash and prizes. It is a really positive experience for all of us.”
KickBack has earned a reputation for helping its customers earn rewards ranging from daily discounts to trips to the NFL’s Big Game. It’s these opportunities to earn while you spend that has cardholders so excited.
