Question: What are August Bucks:

Answer: August Bucks are customer loyalty or appreciation bucks which you gain when you shop at TLC. For every $10 you spend at TLC, an August Buck is banked in your account from February 17 until July 31. The month of August you may redeem your August Bucks when you purchase things at TLC. If you have 100 August Bucks, you may make a $200 purchase and pay for half of it with August Bucks and the balance with real money. It is just our way of saying ‘Thanks for being a TLC customer’ and our computer system keeps track of it.
