What You Need to Know Before You Do Your Holiday Shopping


Leaves are falling. The temperature is dropping. Frost is showing up on your lawn in the morning, and almost every department store in your city is decorated with trees, glowing lights, snowmen and more.

The holiday season is here again, and that means holiday shopping. Whether you love it or hate it, it's inevitable.

But this year, things are going to be different. Why, you ask?

Because you'll have Aggie Rewards, that's why.

Aggie Rewards is a free, online app that lets you give to Utah State University every time you buy holiday gifts online. Shopping online is simple, convenient, provides you with more options and eliminates the time you'd waste waiting in endless lines at the store.

Aggie Rewards won't make online shopping any easier than it already is, but it will help you feel better about each purchase, knowing that you're giving to USU at the same time. In addition, you don't have to change anything you already do when you shop online.

Here is how it works in 3 easy steps:
  • Visit the Aggie Rewards login page: www.usu.edu/rewards 
  • Follow the instructions to install the app on your web browser (for desktop or laptop computers) or on your mobile device (for smart phones or tablets)
  • Shop online at over 2,000 participating retailers, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Netflix, Best Buy, Kohl's and more.  
It's that simple.

Not to mention, each time you shop, you earn points that can be redeemed for great prizes. See what one of our recent winners had to say about her experience with Aggie Rewards.



So, before you start your online shopping this season, be sure to install Aggie Rewards first, and give a little holiday love to USU, too.


For questions regarding Aggie Rewards, or how to install it, contact Brandon Taylor at (435) 797-8537 or brandon.taylor@usu.edu.
