Incentives to get the COVID-19 vaccine keep piling up! Budweiser is joining others like Sam Adams and Krispy Kreme in basically treating you like it’s your birthday if you get the vaccine. The brand is giving away beer money to people who get vaccinated so that their first round back at the bars is covered. Who doesn’t love free drinks?
Budweiser announced the incentive in a commercial featuring its iconic Clydesdales and a puppy. "We can't wait to see our buds," the company said in the ad: "But when we do, let's do it safely."
OK, so how does this work? All you have to do is upload proof of your vaccination (a selfie with your sticker, photo of your band-aid, or image of you at the vaccination site) through ABeerOnBud.com. Now until May 16, or while supplies last, the brand will send vaccinated folks a $5 virtual debit card to cover the cost of a Budweiser. There are 10,000 virtual debit cards up for grabs.
If you’re not a My Cooler Rewards member, you’ll have to sign up to enter. You also, of course, have to be 21 years or older to get in on this deal. And unfortunately, the incentive excludes people who live in Alabama, California, or Texas. But if you live in one of those states, buy yourself a beer anyway as a post-vaccination treat. You deserve it!
