Smith’s Kroger: Some of us have been having trouble linking to Smiths/Kroger to select Taos ARC for automatic donations. The key may be selecting your preferred store (Taos) then finding TARC. Detailed instructions follow:
- Create a digital account. A digital account is needed to participate in Smith’s Inspiring Donations. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.
- Link your Card to an organization. Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the Smith’s Inspiring Donations selection on your digital account.
- Sign into your digital account.
- Search for your organization here. (Note, if you are a customer make sure you have a preferred store selected to view participating organizations).
- Enter the name or NPO number of the organization you wish to support (TARC is PT507).
- Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”. Your selected organization will also display in the Smith’s Inspiring Donations section of your account. If you need to review or revisit your organization, you can always do so under your Account details.
- Your organization earns. Any transactions moving forward using the Shopper’s Card number associated with your digital account will be applied to the program, at no added cost to you. Smith’s Inspiring Donations will donate 0.5% of all eligible spending to organizations that customers have linked to their Rewards Card.
