Our Chamber Bucks Program is a FREE program that ensures money is spent locally and helps build our area ' s economy.

Members, we make it simple, you just deposit the check into your bank account like any other check your business would receive.
Chamber Bucks can be given as employee incentives, gifts, awards or for whatever reason you may choose.
HOW TO PURCHASE
Chamber Bucks can be ordered in $5 increments between $5 and $50 per check. Each check expires one year after the date of issue. Order Chamber Bucks in person at our office, via phone or email.
There is no fee to purchase Chamber Bucks, but a postage charge will be incurred to mail.
Search an online directory on RhinelanderChamber.com for the most up-to-date list of businesses that accept Chamber Bucks.
For larger orders, we ask that you call ahead so we can prepare your Chamber Bucks.
HOW TO REDEEM
When you receive a Chamber Bucks check: There is no need to bring the check to the Chamber for redemption, just deposit them in the bank as if they were a personal check!
Each Chamber Buck check will come with a blank “Pay To Order Of” line. This line is for the business name that redeems the check. Each check expires after one year from the date of issue.
Please let us know if you would like to "Opt In" to accept Chamber Bucks.
