How can Valero Buying Club assist me?       Valero Buying Club is a marketing association for convenience/gas operators and jobbers. Our organization was developed by retailers for the benefit of retailers. We negotiate pricing and promotions for independent and multi-location operators. Since Valero Buying Club acts as a large chain, you may be eligible for rebates that are not available to you as an independent dealer.  2. How do I know what vendors offer programs through Valero Buying Club?       Valero Buying Club provides a Vendor Programs & Merchandising Guide to all of its members on an annual basis. This guide includes includes the name of the vendor and the program components. Throughout the year the guide should be referenced for information regarding Valero Buying Club program details. 3. Do Valero Buying Club's authorized vendors offer monthly specials? Yes. On a monthly basis Valero Buying Club produces a magazine called The Competitive Edge. The magazine will communicate any specials we have negotiated with our vendors for the month. The magazine is provided directly to your requested address. Valero Buying Club's specialists call each member to review the monthly specials and take orders on special items which need to be tracked. 4. Whom do I order my merchandise from? There is no need to change your ordering process as long as your are using a Valero Buying Club authorized distributor. Purchases from wholesale clubs are not eligible for rebates, i.e., Sam's Club. Valero Buying Club will take some orders for selected items that will be available in the monthly magazine to ensure the member receives all allowances from the promoted product. 5. How often are rebate checks disbursed? Rebate checks are disbursed on a quarterly basis, 45 days after the quarter ends. The checks are provided with a detailed report, referenced by vendor, program and amount received. This allows a member to verify their rebates from the appropriate vendors. 6. How are the rebates figured and who tracks my purchases? Rebates are based on your actual purchases. The qualifiers will vary by vendor, as described in the vendor directory. Valero Buying Club tracks your purchases through velocity information from the wholesalers or direct sales distributors and is sent to Valero Buying Club's National Office where they are sorted for the vendor and submitted for your rebates. 7. Can I participate in other purchasing groups, along with Valero Buying Club? In order to prevent duplication of allowances, your location can only be tracked under one chain account. 8.
