CHARLOTTE — Harris Teeter is encouraging higher basket rings with a promotion that awards free gift cards for those who spend $75 each week during a fourth-month promotion period.

Those who reach $75 per week (after all discounts and coupons) for 16 weeks of the 18-week “Holiday Gift Card Giveaway” promotion, which runs through Dec. 15, will get to chose two $25 gift cards from Home Depot, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, i-Tunes, Kohl’s, Regal Cinemas, Bass Pro Shops, Macy’s and Old Navy. Loyalty cards must be used during each shopping trip.

Customers can keep track of their progress via updates printed at the bottom of their receipt. After the shopper qualifies, the receipt will include a reward notice. They then bring the receipt to customer service to obtain the gift cards. Only one offer can be redeemed per shopper.
