How many Tracker Bucks are likely to come to my business during the course of a school year?
The amount of Tracker Bucks previous TT businesses have received on average is $198 over the course of a school year. The average Tracker Bucks earned per month by participants is $7. TT businesses can place and/or lift a Tracker Buck limit at any time to help control the amount of Tracker Bucks received.
How will my business get reimbursed?
Reimbursement happens at your convenience. Just send us an invoice (we can provide a template) with the Tracker Bucks you’ve collected and Boulder County will put a check in the mail. A year-end reimbursement request will be sent to all participating business partners each June to ensure reimbursement occurs at least once each year.
