Procurement cardholders are reminded that University policy prohibits the use of rewards programs for purchases because there is a potential for using rewards points for personal purchases. Because there is not a way to monitor such rewards in a way that is cost effective, the University's policy is that we should not participate in these programs. Examples of programs include, but are not limited to, Panera Rewards, ezCater Rewards, CVS Rewards,  Amazon Prime, Best Buy Rewards, Hy-Vee fuel saver program, Menards’ rebate programs,  purchases from Costco and Apple gift cards.

Questions regarding this policy can be directed to renee-funk@uiowa.edu.
