SCRIP Gift Cards

What is the Gift Cards Program?

When you purchase Gift Cards from Shop with Scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use the gift cards to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for Faith – without spending any additional money than you normally would each month anyway. All it takes is just a little planning by each of us. The program enables many vendors we already patronize to contribute their support to our children’s education at Faith!

Profit from the Gift Cards program funds professional development opportunities for Faith’s faculty and staff. When you use gift cards and certificates purchased through our Gift Card program to pay for goods and services in the stores where you already shop, you bless those who influence our children every day. Support from your family alone can generate funds for Faith every time you grocery shop, go to the drugstore, put gas in your car, or go out to dinner.

How Does the Program Work?

You will have an opportunity to order individual gift cards or certificates from a wide variety of merchants that participate in this national program twice a month - the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month. Faith purchases these gift cards from a national provider at a discounted rate - you pay Faith for the cards/certificates at face value just as you would if you bought them at the store or restaurant. The discount becomes our profit! The discounts range by retailer from a low of 1.5% for gas stations to over 20% from a few retailers. When you go to a store or a restaurant, simply pay for your purchase or your meal (and tip) with a gift card instead of your debit/credit card or cash.

For example, Faith purchases a $25 Starbucks gift card at a 7% discount for $23.25, sells it to you for $25 and we keep $1.75. The $25 Starbucks gift card costs you $25 and is worth $25.

What Types of Gift Cards Can I Purchase?

Think of your personal ongoing spending – your business ongoing spending – your gift spending, etc. Categories range from Restaurants & Grocery cards, Clothing & Department store cards, Home Improvement & Sporting Good store cards, Movie Theater - Bookstore – Movie Rentals – iTunes cards, Home Décor store cards , Hotels – Airlines – Theme Parks - Gasoline cards, and Office Supply & Electronic store cards.  Visa & American Express gift cards are now available as well.  You can see a complete list of retailers at www.shopwithscrip.com .
