This email contains information about the Scrip Program and how it can positively change the balance on your band account. Also attached is a flyer that has information about the SCRIP program and some helpful hints and tips for using the program and placing orders. WHAT IS SCRIP? Great Lakes Scrip Center offers gift cards to over 700 of the country’s biggest brands, including grocery, department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement, and more. Just by using Scrip to pay for your normal purchases, you can easily bank money to your student band account. It’s time to put your shopping dollars to work! A complete listing of participating companies is available at www.shopwithscrip.com.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Scrip cards are regular gifts cards that you purchase at face value. The retailer then gives a rebate, usually between 2%-14% of the face value, directly into YOUR band account. For example, if you purchased a $100 Belk gift card, you pay $100 for the card and have $100 to spend at Belk. Then Belk donates 8% ($8.00) to your band account. Free Money! You will be amazed and astounded at how quickly it adds up simply by spending money “differently” through Scrip.
WHAT TYPE OF GIFT CARDS ARE AVAILABLE? Scrip has three different options for purchasing gift cards. Many companies offer all 3 gift card options but the options available vary by company.
GETTING STARTED: Set up your own personal account at www.shopwithscrip.com and link to the Athens Drive Band Boosters with the enrollment code 3BDECC2F2L1L. Feel free to contact me if you have problems and I will help you through the process.
PAYMENT METHODS: PrestoPay: This is the preferred and easiest method of payment. It is Scrip's secure service to purchase gift cards by using funds directly from your bank account. Set up PrestoPay from your Scrip account on the www.shopwithscrip.com website. Check: Make your check out to ADHS Band Boosters and deliver it to Carol before the order date to be included in the monthly order. CURRENT SPECIALS: In addition to offering great contributions on every day gift cards, Scrip runs specials and flash sales on a regular basis. This means that a retailer's usual rebate percentage is temporarily increased. For example, The Gap may increase it's normal rebate of 14% to 18%. Also, a few times a year, Scrip has a ThankScripping Day. This is a day where many, many retailers have increased rebates for that day only. Take advantage of these specials! Even if you don’t “need” anything right now, you can purchase cards ahead of time that you know you will use in the future. Set up your Scrip account so that you receive email alerts for active specials. Check out the "What's New" tab to see all the recent listings. Any questions, please send to scrip@athensdriveband.com Happy Scripping! Carol Moore & Jean Burroughs |
