SCRIP - an easy way to earn $$ for your student’s account

SCRIP: The concept of SCRIP is that the band purchases gift card/certificates, or SCRIP, at a discount to popular retailers (like Blockbuster, Kohl's, Belk's, Chili's, Starbucks and Home Depot). Parents order the gift cards/certificates at face value. The gift card (scrip) is then spent at the retailer, where its worth the full face value. No extra money has been spent and you have earned $$ for your student's account. The difference between the discount and the face value goes directly into your student's account. Hundreds of retailers are available. This will be an ongoing opportunity.

1. You purchase gift cards through the band from a list of available retailers at face value. For example, you buy a $25 Olive Garden card good at any Olive Garden, Red Lobster or Bahama Breeze and pay $25 to the Band.
2. The Band purchases the gift card from Great Lakes SCRIP Center at a discount.
3. The difference between the discounted cost of the gift card and the $25 face value is credited to your individual student account. For example, the discount Olive Garden offers is 9% payback, earning your student's account $2.25 on just that one card.
4. An enrollment form must be completed before your first order.
