Everyday Gasoline Discounts

By providing your 10-digit telephone number (“Loyalty ID”) when initiating a gasoline purchase at a participating Merchant, Program participants automatically receive a discount on the per-gallon price of that gasoline purchase transaction.  The amount of the discount is in the discretion of Clark Crown, and may be modified from time to time.

Earning Points

By providing your Loyalty ID when making in-store purchases on certain qualifying merchandise (other than gasoline) at participating Merchants, Program participants earn and accumulate Program points (“Points”).  Pursuant to limited time promotions relating to certain qualifying merchandise of a specific product vendor or supplier, predetermined quantities of Points may be earned from the purchase of such merchandise from participating Merchants Clark Crown may, in its discretion, also offer special promotions under which Points may be earned or awarded by other means.

Special Offers to Program Participants

From time to time, special offerings on merchandise at participating Merchants (“Special Offers”) may be made available to Program participants.  Special Offers may include discounts on select merchandise at participating Merchants, including “buy one get one free” offers on select merchandise.  Additionally, Clark Crown may, in its discretion and for limited times, offer points for specific activities, such as, by way of example only, your visit to a particular participating Merchant, or multiple visits within a specified timeframe.

Redeeming Points

Points may be exchanged for “Brand Dollars”.  Points may be redeemed for Brand Dollars on a predetermined redemption rate, which may be revised from time to time, at the sole discretion of Clark Crown.  As of the Effective Date: (i) 110 Points may be exchanged for 1 Brand Dollar or, alternatively, for a discount (in addition to the everyday gasoline discount) of $0.05 per gallon (limited to a maximum of 20 gallons)  applied to a single gasoline purchase transaction at a participating Merchant; and (ii) 220 Points may be exchanged for 2 Brand Dollars or, alternatively, for a discount (in addition to the everyday gasoline discount) of $0.10 per gallon (limited to a maximum of 20 gallons) applied to a single gasoline purchase transaction at a participating Merchant.    Brand Dollars (in whole number quantities) may then be applied to the purchase of non-restricted merchandise at authorized Merchants, a one Brand Dollar for one U.S. dollar basis.  Brand Dollars redeemed for authorized merchandise must be in an amount less than or equal to the price of the authorized merchandise, exclusive of applicable taxes, including state, county, and local/municipal sales taxes.  Brand Dollars cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash.

Purchases of the following products and services are not eligible to earn Points, or for the redemption Brand Dollars: alcoholic beverages; tobacco and nicotine products; lottery tickets and cards; video gambling machine services; and financial products, including gift cards and phone cards.  Applicable taxes on purchases, including state, county, and local/municipal sales taxes, likewise do not earn Points.  Brand Dollars cannot be used for the purchase of gasoline.

Expiration of Points

Earned Points will expire in the event that your participation in the Program lapses.  Your Program participation shall be deemed to have lapsed upon your failure for 365 consecutive days to either purchase gasoline, or to purchase qualifying merchandise, using your Loyalty ID at a participating Merchant.

Modification or Termination of the Program or this Agreement

Clark Crown may modify, suspend or terminate the Program, including your associated account (including your account’s current balance of Points, gasoline discount, and Brand Dollars) at any time, in the sole discretion of Clark Crown and without notice to you.  This includes reserving the right to apply changes retroactively to benefits already earned under the Program.
