Free Crispy Kreme doughnut Worth more than a PlusOneCoin everyday in 2021!


The health benefits of getting a COVID-19 vaccine have been made abundantly clear, but with some people still on the fence, corporate America is now looking to nudge them with one of its most reliable incentives: freebies.

A growing number of businesses are offering free products and more to people who present their COVID-19 vaccination cards. It might seem a curious strategy, but businesses have a strong interest in boosting the vaccination count, as the quicker that number escalates, the quicker sales and operations can start to return to normal.

Had your shot already? About to get it? Here are some of the things you’re eligible for. (And the list is constantly growing.)

Free Krispy Kreme doughnutsThe doughnut chain announced Monday it would offer a free original glazed doughnut to customers who show their vaccination cards for the rest of 2021—all day, every day.

Free vaccination card laminationYour vaccination card is the easiest way to prove you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine. Staples is helping you protect it, offering free lamination through April 3.

Free marijuanaThere’s a natural euphoria you get after receiving the Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J shot, knowing that an end to the isolation of the past year is in sight. But if you want to take that a little further, some dispensaries are making it easy. The Mint Dispensary in Phoenix is offering free edibles to those over 21 who show their card. And Michigan’s Greenhouse of Walled Lake has partnered with UBaked to offer a free pre-rolled joint to anyone 21 and up with proof of vaccination. (It’s called the “Pot for Shots” program, and it has already given away more than 4,000 joints.) DC Marijuana Justice has a similar program called “Joints for Jabs.”

Free cashMany employers are offering cold, hard cash to employees who get vaccinated. Petco is giving associates who receive a vaccination a $75 bonus. Aldi, Dollar General, and Trader Joe’s are offering four hours of pay for getting the shot(s). Kroger is giving employees $100 in store credit and $100 cash for getting a shot, while Publix is offering employees a $125 gift card. And Drop, an e-commerce rewards startup, is giving $50 in points to users who share vaccination selfies.

Free ridesYou don’t actually need to be vaccinated yet to get a free ride from Lyft or Uber. Both companies are offering free or discounted rides to and from vaccination centers.

Free foodThis one’s more hit-or-miss and depends on your local restaurant scene, but several eateries are giving notable discounts to vaccinated patrons. Detroit’s Oak & Reel is offering 50% off to dine-in customers with cards. And Chicago’s Village Tap (on the North Side) is offering $10 gift cards to the first 1,000 people who can show they’ve been vaccinated. Starting March 29, Junior’s Restaurant and Bakery will offer a free mini cheesecake to customers who have been vaccinated at its Brooklyn location.

Check your local news sources and restaurant pages to see if your favorite restaurant has its own incentives.

Free rewards pointsSome businesses aren’t giving out free products per se, but they are giving loyal customers a boost toward getting some sort of reward. Insurer John Hancock, for instance, is offering 400 reward points to members of its Vitality rewards program. Those can be used for travel, food, fitness wearables and more.

Free video gamesOnce you’re vaccinated and able to get out, it might be worth a trip to Up-Down. The arcade chain, with six locations throughout the Midwest is giving fully vaccinated customers 20 free tokens if they show up within 21 days of their last shot. The offer will run all summer.
