Retailers Fight for Stimulus Checks

[dollardaze]

Retailers are using incentives to gain our stimulus checks, but will it be enough? Sears and Kroger are both offering a 10% bonus for those handing over their stimulus checks. Home Depot is packaging their deals in $300, $600, and $1200 increments to coincide with the amounts families are expected to receive.

With credit tight and the economy creaky, big retail chains are getting more aggressive than ever in capturing the tax rebate checks trickling in to customers now and the stimulus checks due later in the year. One strategy: paying you to hand them over.

I don't think that 10% is enough of a bonus to make me give up my stimulus check to any one company. I think Sears and Kroger had better come up with a much larger amount as an incentive to get more shoppers.
