HOLIDAY SALE

Aggie Kickbacks and a Holiday Sale are just what you need to kick-start your holiday shopping! The sale, at all UC Davis Stores on Wednesday (Dec. 5), includes 25 percent off clothing and gifts and much more. And, at select stores, you will get a free plush polar bear (while supplies last) with a purchase of $75 or more on clothing (some restrictions apply; see store for details).

Aggie gift ideas for the holidays.

UC Davis Stores has launched the Aggie Kickbacks Customer Rewards Program.

The bookstore awards a point for every dollar you spend (after discount and before sales tax), on most everything except gift cards and postage stamps and other nonmerchandise expenditures. Double rewards will be offered during special promotional periods.

Collect 500 points and you’ll get a $10 voucher — and, as the program evolves, other rewards will be offered, say, a $5 coupon for an off-campus restaurant (50 points) or 30 percent off a UC Davis clothing item (100 points).

Seasonal rewards might include $10 off a "UC Davis Mom" clothing item around Mothers Day (100 points).

The UC Davis Stores Advisory Council — comprising 10 students, three staff members and two faculty members — will provide advice for the type of rewards offered.

Students will rack up points in a hurry when buying textbooks — and when selling them back (because you get points for buyback dollars, too). The bookstore also is considering customized rewards for students, say an iPad carrying case or Bluetooth keyboard with the purchase of an iPad.

The bookstore will track your points in your bookstore account; you can open one here.
