IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

KGA/KACS Launches New

Coupon Processing Program

 

Through a new agreement approved by the KGA/KACS Board of Directors with Association Coupon Services (ACS) all KGA/KACS member retailers will receive the coupon face value plus $.05 per coupon for handling.

 

Existing KGA/KACS Coupon Program participants should have already received an enrollment packet and started shipping their coupons under the new program.  

 

All KGA/KACS members are eligible to participate in the new program and we encourage you to examine the ACS Coupon Program materials designed to make your transition to the new program fast and efficient. If you would like to receive a program packet, just call the office at 502-696-9153 or send and email to ted@kgaonline.org requesting a packet. 

 

Key components of the new KGA/KACS/ACS program include:

·         $.05 per coupon plus face value paid to you for each valid coupon no volume scales!

·         No minimum shipment size - all retailers are encouraged to ship as often as possible.

·        Postage reimbursement per USPS First Class rates for number of coupons shipped below:

·         1-100 coupons = reimbursement of .55

·         101-500 coupons = reimbursement of $1.20

·         501 – 3,000 coupons = reimbursement of $2.35

·         Over 3,000 coupons = reimbursement of .85 per 1,000 coupons

·         Fast 35 day payment turnaround (slightly longer for first shipment processing)

·         More efficiency with direct shipment to the processor rather than the KGA/KACS acting as middleman.

·       Current KGA/KACS Coupon Program deposits transferred automatically to ACS. (As with all coupon programs, security deposits are subject to change depending on chargeback activity)

·         Easy to get started – just complete the ACS packet and send in with your first shipment! (Call the KGA/KACS office if you would like a packet mailed to you.)

Insurance for coupon shipment from your business to ACS and delivery confirmation is responsibility of sender and not reimbursed by ACS. Be sure to check with your shipper for appropriate coverages and dollar limits. Use of delivery confirmation only insures your coupons against loss after confirmed receipt by ACS. 

Be sure to retain your post office/shipper receipt for signature required in order to confirm ACS receipt of ytour coupons. No claims for loss will be honored by ACS without proof of delivery.

Do NOT send coupons to the KGA/KACS office!

The current KGA/KACS Coupon Program was discontinued on October 2, 2007! All coupons received at the KGA/KACS office after October 2, 2007 will be returned to your store with an ACS program application packet.
