We are officially halfway through the school year here in Vegas- report cards came out this week and we’re on to Semester 2! Report cards are important because they help figure out what areas your kids need extra help on and what they’re excelling it- but they’re also important because they can score you some freebies!
Kids work hard every day for their good grades, so what better way to get rewarded for that hard work than to redeem their good grades for free treats, meals or discounts?
Check out this great list of freebies and discounts that your child may be eligible for in exchange for earning good grades!
Earn Free Treats for Good Grades
There is something special about going out for ice cream or another quick snack that makes for sweet memories. Take a peek at the snack freebies that your kiddo may be able to earn!
Krispy Kreme
For each A on your child’s report card, they can earn up to 6 delightful, glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme, so they can even share with the family!
Wendy’s
To dip your french fries in your Wendy’s frosty, or not to dip? Head out to your nearest Wendy’s with your good report card {A’s and B’s} to see if you are eligible for a free treat!
Baskin-Robbins
Treat your ice cream loving kiddo to a free scoop of ice cream at your local Baskin-Robbins! Just don’t forget to bring your child’s report card!
Cold Stone Creamery
A good report card may very well earn your kiddo a free scoop of frozen, creamy ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery.
Culver’s
Some schools participate in Culver’s reward programs, which allows their teachers to hand out coupons for a free scoop of frozen custard, and sometimes even a free kid’s meal!
Earn Free Meals for Good Report Cards
Eating out with kiddos can get pricey, especially considering how little they usually eat when they are younger! If you want to treat your kiddo to a special kid’s meal, stop by one of these restaurants with your child’s report card in hand!
McDonald’s
Some McDonald’s stores will happily trade a kid’s Happy Meal to K-5th graders who bring in a good report card. If you have a 6th-12th grader, don’t worry- they may be entitled to a free value meal, instead!
Pizza Hut
Elementary and middle school students can earn a dinner including 1 personal size pizza and a milk or small soft drink when they dine in at their local Pizza Hut and show their report card with at least 3 A’s on it! {Pizza Hut also has a reading program that offers incentives! Check with your local store to see if they participate in the Book It program which gives kids pizzas for meeting reading goals.}
Applebee’s
Applebee’s has a program called A is for Apple that gives kids a free kids meal. The catch? Schools have to sign up to participate, so you can’t just bring in your report card for this one. That said, ask your child’s teacher if the school participates, or encourage them to sign up!
Jason’s Deli
Kiddos as young as 1 can earn free kids cash at Jason’s Deli for good behavior and grades. The kids cash can be used on a variety of items at the deli.
Peter Piper Pizza
Students with good grades are eligible to receive a free, personal size pizza (7”) at Peter Piper Pizza.
Burger King
Burger King has a Good Grades Rewards program, in which your child can earn a free cheeseburger for doing well in school. For this one, you may need to ask your teacher for a certificate that you can turn in for redemption.
Chick-fil-A
Eat more chikin’ at Chick-fil-A! Both A’s and B’s could possibly earn your kiddo a free 8 piece chicken nugget, or ice cream cone!
IHOP
Some IHOP locations offer a free kids meal with good grades. Check with your local IHOP to see if they participate and to see what grades are required to redeem.
Marco’s Pizza
If you have a Marco’s Pizza nearby, you may be able to exchange your child’s A’s for a free one-topping pizza!
Bonus: Melting Pot**
If you happen to have a graduate, and a party of four or more, there’s a pretty good chance that they can dine for free at Melting Pot. Simply mention “free grad fondue” when placing your reservation. {**Good grades not required- but I hope they have them anyway!}
Rewards You Can’t Eat
While free food is always a good thing, sometimes it’s nice to earn other types of freebies and discounts. Check out these places that may reward your child for good grades in other ways than filling their tummies!
Car Insurance
Various insurance companies including Esurance, Geico, Liberty Mutual and more will offer discounts on a teen’s insurance for good grades! Check with your insurance company today to see what they may be eligible for.
Justice
Have a clothing obsessed daughter in your household? Bring her report card {within 30 days of receiving it} with you on your next shopping spree at Justice to receive a $5 off coupon at participating locations.
Chuck E Cheese
Chuck E. Cheese has two different rewards certificates that your child can receive for a job well done in the classroom. Check out the Super Student Award as well as the Graduation Certificate, which can be redeemed for 10 free points!
Banks
Some banks, including Zions Bank, Alpine Bank and more will reward students who receive good grades with a small monetary amount added to their bank account. If your child has a bank account set up, contact your bank to see if they have any special rewards for your child.
Kudzoo App
Kids in middle and high school {13 years and older} can download the Kudzoo app on iOS or Google Play and submit up to 5 report cards a year to earn Kudzoo Cash. This “cash” can be redeemed at local stores, restaurants, and more.
Keep in mind that while this list is a great resource for finding freebies and discounts, it is always a good idea to contact the store or restaurant before you make a special trip. You never know when these sort of promotions will suddenly end, or perhaps particular locations are not participating in the rewards. But I hope this helped you get some great rewards for your hard-working students!
