COVID-19: $100 gift cards for first shot extended

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has extended the deadline for first-time COVID-19 vaccine recipients to receive a $100 gift card.

Through Sunday, Sept. 19, residents who get their first dose of any COVID-19 vaccine can receive a $100 Visa Gift Card. 

Residents age 12 and over are eligible for the reward, which may be requested by visiting the Reward Sign-up page at https://100.wisconsin.gov/.

Proof of insurance, citizenship or ID is not required to be eligible for or to receive the $100. 

“Data continue to show that COVID-19 vaccines do their job by preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death,” health officials said. “The COVID-19 vaccines remain one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and your community from COVID-19 and the highly infectious Delta variant.”

In order to receive the reward, Wisconsinites must:

• Have received their first COVID-19 vaccine from a Wisconsin, Michigan or Minnesota provider between Aug. 20 and Sept. 19.

• Submit the request for the $100 Visa Gift Card on the DHS Reward Sign-up page. Reward requests must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CST on Sept. 30.

Information submitted in the online form will be used to verify vaccine administration. U.S. Bank Rewards Cards may take six to eight weeks to be mailed to participants. 

A second-dose administration is not required for the award, but it is vital that individuals complete their vaccination series to get the best protection from COVID-19, officials said. 

All vaccines currently approved for use in Wisconsin are eligible for use with the incentive program.
