Chamber Bucks
Accept Chamber Bucks | Bucks FAQs | Participating Businesses | Contact

Bucks are universal gift checks that can only be spent at participating member businesses. There is no cost to enroll to accept Bucks. Over $150,000 in Bucks was spent at member businesses in 2005. Merchants accept Bucks similar to a travelers check and deposit them with that day’s transactions. The Chamber sells Bucks to consumers and businesses at face value. The money received is deposited into a special Bucks account, so you know when you accept Bucks, there’s money in the bank. Almost 200 businesses have enrolled to accept Bucks.

Chamber Bucks are available in denominations of $5, $10, $20 or $25 and valid for one year.
Since Chamber Bucks are redeemable at a wide variety of merchants, it's an ideal gift for hard-to-buy for people, as well as for graduation gifts, employee incentives, and bonuses.
