For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions (collectively, “Terms”), “Rainbow Grocery” refers to Rainbow Grocery Cooperative Inc. Rainbow Grocery’s Rewards Community (“Community”) is a free-to-join point-based promotional system that allows for e-coupons, services, programs, promotions, and/or other offers, deals, coupons, and/or specials (collectively, “Offerings”).

By creating a Community account, a customer agrees to Rainbow Grocery’s Privacy Policy.
“GreenBacks” refers to a quarterly scheduled promotion that allows for Co-op Coins to be exchanged for an e-Coupon of specified value based on a customer’s Community account balance at the end of an Earning Period. “Earning Period” refers to a three-month term, scheduled out to four (4) per year. “Award Date” refers to the date a customer’s Co-op Coins will be automatically exchanged, and the corresponding Greenbacks e-Coupon will be added to the customer’s Community account.
