Lowes Foods: Heads up...changes with Greenpoints *Confirmed*

[hburnette3]

shouldn't they be informing the customers? I guess they're going to pull a Walgreens. (I'm still a little miffed about the ESR ending and them not informing anyone!)

I was given a flyer over the weekend by the cashier. It listed an option of donating your points to the harvest food bank. The points are officially ending.

[uummm]

SO I wrote CS on line to ask what the deal was...Here is the response.

Good afternoon Mr. xxxx, (though I am a Mrs!)

Yes, something great is coming to Lowes Foods customers! At this time we are unable to disclose details. We are always looking for ways to provide our customers with better value and look forward to sharing our new program on October 7, 2009. Until then you can still earn and redeem points at Lowes Foods.



In the meantime, feel free to visit www.greenpoints.com for a complete listing of items for purchase by redeeming your points including products and gift cards. Rest assured; you will not lose your greenpoints. When the greenpoints program ends, you will continue to have the ability to earn and redeem greenpoints through greenpoints.com.



We look forward to sharing our new program on October 7, 2009 - You will love it!

Maybe the new program will be better than Green points.

Just received this email from Lowes.

As one of our most valued customers, I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce you to an exciting new rewards program that we will launch on October 7th. The name of the program is fresh rewards and it is designed specifically to reward loyal customers like you!
As a loyal customer, you will earn fresh rewards on all eligible purchases every time you shop. The more you spend, the more you earn. Additionally, a wide variety of promotional offerings will allow you to earn fresh rewards at an even faster rate. Each time that you earn $5.00 in fresh rewards, your Lowes Foods cashier will provide you with a $5.00 fresh rewards cash coupon that can be used towards your next purchase. There is no limit to the number of fresh rewards cash coupons that can be earned, and you can redeem as many as you would like in a single trip!
There is absolutely nothing that you need to do today to participate in the program. You are pre-enrolled and can begin earning fresh rewards on October 7th. However, you should stop by the Lowes Foods customer service desk once the program launches so that you can get your new fresh rewards card.
As we transition to fresh rewards, we will also retire the Greenpoints program. Rest assured, this does not mean that your Greenpoints will disappear or lose their value. By visiting http://www.greenpoints.com/ you will find that there are extensive options to continue to earn and redeem Greenpoints, including dozens of gift card choices at terrific values.
I would like to personally thank you for your continued loyalty to Lowes Foods. We are confident that you will be as excited about fresh rewards as we are, and we look forward to seeing you in our stores again soon!
Sincerely,
Steve Hall
President
Lowe's Food Stores, Inc.
