* SCRIP Info - New Ordering Day *
2008-10-02
Please check here regularly for updated information!
** We are now ordering on Tuesday mornings. Once
you have selected the gift cards you want to purchase at face value,
complete your order and either pay by Presto-Pay or send your check in
to the office by Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m. As we earn more money for our school, we will be able to open a store where we can sell gift cards right on the spot.
Checks need to
be sent to school with students or taken directly to the office. Checks
should be made out to Caprock Academy and put in an envelope with Scrip written
on the outside. Cards can be picked up or will be delivered on Thursday of the same week.
Popular Cards to order and their rebates:
Albertsons (4%)
Safeway (4%)
City Market (3%)
Starbucks (7%)
Sports Authority (8%)
$9 Regal Movie Passes (16%)- and buying at the movies is $9.50
Regal Gift Card (8%)
Red Lobster (8%)
Wal-Mart/Sam's Club (2%)
Remember, you buy the gift cards at face value and the school gets to keep the rebate. That means if you buy a $9 Regal movie pass, the school gets $1.44 and you get into the movies for $.50 less than at the door. Another example, you spend $100 on Red Lobster gift cards for Christmas gifts, the school gets $8 and you get $100 worth of Red Lobster cards. Or just figure, you are going to spend $100 this week on groceries anyway, why not buy a gift card and make our school some money! This is such a great potential for our school and you can get right on board!!!
Lands End pays a 17% rebate for gift cards
plus the school gets 3% back on any uniform purchases. Time to check out your pants, are they too short?
School logos can be added for $5.50 extra.
