Scrip is Back!

What is Scrip?
Your families earn money just by making regular household purchases, but instead of paying with cash or credit, they use prepaid gift cards from America’s favorite and most trusted retailers like Chervon, Starbucks, and Target.

How does it work?
You simply go to the website www.shopwithscrip.com and register. You can register with AVCS using the enrollment code #71119A8614594. Select "Order Scrip". Fill you shopping cart and follow the instructions at the check-out. After checking your order, select "Finish," which takes you to a screen where you choose "Printer Friendly" and then print your order. Bring your order and check made to out to AVC with the words Scrip in the Memo and drop in the Scrip Box in the front office at AVC SChool. You can also pay with PrestoPay online.

If you order on Monday before 10AM you will receive your order on Wednesday. If you order on Wednesday before 10AM you will receive it Friday. If you have any questions you can contact Michelle Littel at MLittle@avcschool.com. When people hear about scrip, many ask, “what’s the catch?” The catch – if there is one –is that families need to plan ahead a little and do their normal shopping with gift cards.

Which companies can I buy giftcards for using Scrip?
Starbucks, Amazon, Bath and Body Works, Target, SpaFinder, American Eagle, Buckle, Cabelas, Sears, Lowes, Beast Buy, Cheesecake Factory, Disney, and the list goes on and on. Many of these cards are even Christmas themed for the season.

How much money can be given to the school in a given order?

Here is an example of how Scrip adds up:
Groceries $400 (avg 4% return) $16 (back to the school)
Gas $200 (avg 2.5% return) $5
Dining $100 (avg 10% return) $10
Clothes $100 (avg 6% return) $6
Entertainment $50 (avg 9% return) $4

In one month, simply purchasing everthing products as seen above could contribute $41.
