12 of the Best Report Card Freebies & Discounts for Students with Good Grades

Your kids can get rewarded for good grades!

Did your kiddo have a stellar report card recently? Not only do they deserve a big kudos for excelling in such an interesting school year, but they can score some sweet perks for their good grades! To make it easier for you, we’re sharing 12 restaurants & companies that offer awesome freebies & discounts just for doing well in school.

1. Score a FREE kid’s meal at Applebee’s.

Students, 12 & under, who excel in academics (or other areas determined by their teachers) are eligible to receive an “A” is for Applebee’s award card which can be redeemed for a FREE meal from the Applebee’s Kid’s Menu. The promotional card must be completely filled out by the teacher.

Applebee’s will provide schools and teachers with the number of award cards requested and leave distribution up to each teacher. Teachers may award cards even if the school does not use a grading system. Or they may want to recognize students for accomplishments in non-academic areas. The program can be as flexible as needed; however, the intention is for students to take the cards home with them and to celebrate their success with their families.

Go here for more details and to request your cards. If you’re a parent, let your child’s teacher know that this program offers rewards for students.

2. Some banks & insurance companies offer cash incentives. 
Places like First Southern National Bank will pay your kiddos for good grades, so check with your local banks, credit unions, and car insurance companies to see if they’re offering something similar. Many of them offer monetary rewards (some up to $10 per report card!) or discounts for good grades which you can typically read about from their website or learn more by chatting with a bank employee.
