SCRIP FAQ’S
What is Scrip?
Scrip is “substitute money”, and looks and functions just like gift cards and
certificates. This program allows our school families and friends to purchase scrip for
everyday expenses like, food, clothing, and entertainment; while receiving anywhere
from 1 to 20 percent of each dollar of scrip purchased back in the form of a rebate. A
scrip purchase agreement will need to be signed to designate how the rebate will be
received. You may designate the cash back option, apply the rebate to your school
tuition account, or make a charitable contribution to the school or to the parish.
Is SCRIP really effective?
The reason for the effectiveness of scrip is simple: use of scrip generates
revenue through purchase you would be making anyway. Groceries, Clothing, toys
gifts, restaurant purchases, travel, or even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Any
church or school of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars a
year on food, clothing and other essentials. If scrip is used for these purchases, it can
raise as much as $35,000 per year or more for St. Mary’s – without spending one
additional penny.
How does the rebate work?
Scrip volunteers will maintain an up to date accounting of the amount that you
have spent on Scrip and the amount of your rebate. The rebate will be returned to you
or applied as you choose. Disbursements will be made twice during the school year,
once in January, so that you can possibly use the amount that you have accrued in an
effort to offset the cost of registration for the following school year, and then again in
June. You could apply the amount accrued as of June toward the 2015-2016 school
year tuition as well.
How do I make a SCRIP purchase?
If you wish to purchase grocery money, such as Acme, Shop-Rite, Walmart or
Target, you can send a check into school with your child in the morning. A Scrip
volunteer will fill the order and the scrip will be sent home with your child that day.
Kohl’s Gift Cards will also be available daily, which are a great value to make new
purchases, or Kohl’s has allowed the gift cards that are purchased thru Scrip to be used
to pay your Kohl’s revolving credit account at the store. This is an especially great
benefit, as you are able to shop when it is convenient or when you have your coupon in
hand. WaWa Gift Cards are also available to make in-store purchases, or used at the
gas pump just like cash.
If you wish to order gift cards from other retailers, such as restaurants, mall
stores, or chain locations (please see the list that is attached), you should send your
order in by Tuesday morning, and an order will be placed with Great Lakes Scrip, and
sent home with your child either Thursday or Friday, latest. Please note that this is a
change. We are hoping to make it more convenient for you to have those cards in
hand by the weekend to meet all of your shopping or gift giving needs.
How is the rebate calculated?
The rebate will vary depending on the retailer. (Please see the list that is
attached.) The discount for each retailer is printed on the GLScrip Retailer form. One
half of the rebate is paid to the school as an administrative fee. The other half belongs
to you, to be applied according to the option that you selected in the Scrip Purchase
Agreement.
How does the school benefit from my SCRIP purchase?
The school benefits from the portion of the rebate it receives which could help
reduce the amount of additional fundraising that would be necessary.
What else should I know?
Remember you can use the Kohl’s card that you purchase from Scrip to make a
payment on your credit card account. So, you can shop at your convenience, or when
you have a coupon and then purchase your Gift Cards in time to pay your monthly
payment.
Also, the retailers that are listed on the GLScrip Retailer form are supporting our
school by issuing these rebates and we thank them for their support by patronizing
those stores.
If you choose to donate any portion of your half of the rebate, we can and will
provide you the necessary documentation of the donations for your tax deductions.
PLEASE TRY IT; YOU WILL SOON SEE THE ADVANTAGES IN PARTICIPATING
IN THIS VERY WORTHWHILE FUNDRAISING EFFORT.
St. Mary’s Scrip News
We have added in some new and exciting features to the Scrip program to make it more
convenient and easy to use! You can establish an online account with shopwithscrip.com, which will
allow you to go to Great Lakes Scrip as many times as you wish during the week to add items to orders
and as long as you have them in by 10:00am on Tuesday, you will have your cards sent home on
Thursday afternoon or Friday at the latest for your weekend shopping trips. If you use the
shopwithscrip.com option and add the Presto Pay feature as well, you would be able to download any of
the scrip items that are available as a Scripnow purchase and they will be sent to your email almost
immediately, so that you can use those items as soon as you need them. Another wonderful option for
mobile phone – Apple and Android users - can take advantage of “MY SCRIP WALLET”, and when used
with the Presto Pay feature, you can have the eGift Card downloaded right to your mobile device for use
right at the retailer’s cash register. Please see the following documents for Shop with Scrip, Scripnow,
and Presto Pay, they outline the benefits and explain the features of all of these various Scrip options for
you.

Solution
Put fundraising at your fingertips™! MyScripWallet™ is ShopWithScrip’s mobile website,
offering the widest selection of electronically delivered products and the highest rebates
available anywhere. You can order electronic gift cards, reload physical cards, and in many cases
redeem them right from your phone! And it’s fully integrated with ShopWithScrip.com, so you
only need one login and you can use your PrestoPay account in both places. MyScripWallet lets
you shop on-the-go, earning rebates on every purchase.
You can login to MyScripWallet using your same ShopWithScrip® username and password.
