Frustrated With The Kids First Coupon Book Service Fee

  • Friday, September 10, 2021

The kickoff to the Kids First coupon book is today. This is great that this can continue to raise money for the schools during the pandemic, however now that we are in coronavirus times the school now requires online payment for these books the students are selling.

This is all fine and well, except they charge an extra .75 per coupon book as a service fee. How am I supposed to tell the people who purchase these books that, sorry the book is really $10.75 this year?

You would think we could have this fee waived or at least only charge per transaction, not per book.

I think this will hurt the overall campaign and is crazy when I can send a $10 with my child to school.
