Toys“R”Us, Inc. today announced it will once again offer 10 percent back on purchases made by new and current members of its loyalty program, Rewards“R”Us^®, this holiday season. Beginning Sunday, October 30 through Christmas Eve, Rewards“R”Us members can earn 10 percent back in “R”Us Dollars for every dollar spent on qualifying purchases.^* Members can participate in this special promotion by presenting their loyalty card at any “R”Us store nationwide or entering their loyalty number online at Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com. “R”Us Dollars earned will be delivered to members via e-mail in January and can be used toward savings on future in-store purchases.^** During the 2010 holiday season, approximately 2 million customers joined Rewards“R”Us to take advantage of the 10 percent back promotion.

New for this holiday season, Rewards“R”Us members can also earn a complimentary 2012 Super Savers Pass when they spend $200 or more beginning Sunday, October 30 through Saturday, December 24. The Super Savers Pass offers members more than $100 in savings, including exclusive coupons sent via e-mail each month in 2012.

“Since its introduction in 2008, our Rewards“R”Us program has grown to more than 24 million members, and we continue to look for ways to reward these loyal customers with special savings and value-added opportunities all year long,” said Greg Ahearn, Chief Marketing Officer, Toys“R”Us, U.S. “By once again offering 10 percent back on holiday purchases, and with the introduction of the 2012 Super Savers Pass, Toys“R”Us is launching its biggest rewards ever for our best and most frequent shoppers this Christmas.”

Customers who want to make smaller payments over time and still take advantage of the 10 percent back offer can earn holiday rewards on layaway purchases.*** Since 2009, the company has offered layaway for “big gift” items such as bikes, swing sets, dollhouses, play kitchens and more. This year, Toys“R”Us expanded its layaway program to include all playthings in 450 of its approximately 600 Toys“R”Us stores nationwide.**** In order to guarantee that items are made available by Christmas, all layaway orders for toys must be paid in full by December 4.

Customers can sign up for this complimentary program at any “R”Us store nationwide or online atToysrus.com/Rewards. Rewards“R”Us is open to anyone with no credit approval required. Once enrolled, members can take advantage of a variety of exclusive benefits and promotions, including:

Returns made easy, as Toys“R”Us^®sales associates can look up any member’s transaction simply by rescanning the shopper’s Rewards“R”Us card. All members have to do is remember to scan their card each and every time they shop with “R”Us.^*****

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
