Scrip Program Information

 

How Scrip Works

  • Buying scrip is a way to get $$$ back for purchasing items that you would buy anyway!
  • The scrip program purchases gift cards for all types of retail and e-tail outlets at a discount.   
  • Parents purchase the gift cards at full face value (cards have full value when shopping).  Payment currently is by cash or check.

 

Credits to Student Accounts

  • For each card purchased, the discount is calculated (the discount percentage varies by retailer).
  • As an example, for each $100 of Albertson's purchased, $3 is put in the student’s personal account. 
  • Scrip credits are sent to the treasurer each month so that they can be added to the student accounts.

 

Types of Retail Outlets 

  • The scrip program has a wide variety of gift cards in stock, and others which can be "advance ordered".   The most current list will be kept on the web (TBD, due shortly).
  • Here is a very short list of typical in-stock gift cards:
    • Gas – Arco, Chevron, Exxon/Mobil, Shell
    • Grocery – Albertsons, Vons, Smart & Final, Stater Brothers, Mother’s
    • Fast food– CarlsJr, Chipotle, Subway, JambaJuice, Wendys, Starbucks, Coldstone
    • Restaurants – Islands, Claim Jumper, Mimi’s, Outback, Chili’s, Olive Garden
    • Five Points – all stores in Five Points Center, including Trader Joe’s
    • Department – Macy’s, Penney’s, Sears, Kohl’s, Walmart, Sams
    • Hardware/housewares – Lowe’s, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bath & Body
    • Entertainment – Game Stop, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Itunes, Amazon.com

 

Purchase Scrip:  Saturdays 9:00-11:00am at FVHS

  • We sell scrip every Saturday – usually in room 310, but often outside or at the tables near the gym.  
  • On holiday weekends and some weekends that students have Monday off there are no scrip sales.
  • We sell all summer so you can start building up credits.
