Scrip is just another name for gift cards.
Blessed Sacrament purchases gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip (a clearing house offering hundreds of different gift cards) at a discount of 1.5% - 20%, depending on the business.
Gift cards are sold to our families at face value. Example: you pay $100.00 for a County Market card that the school purchased for $95.00. The school earns $5.00 on your purchase. We offer an incentive to our families of 50% of the profits earned to be applied towards tuition or free scrip. It doesn't seem like much, but purchased each week over the course of a year, it adds up to a donation of $130.00 per year to the school and $130.00 towards next year's tuition for your family.
Blessed Sacrament offers 50% of the rebates earned back to the participating families in the form of free scrip or tuition credits.
Blessed Sacrament keeps an inventory of the most popular gift cards so that you can purchase them easily. All businesses listed on the school order form are available in limited quantities.
Many other gift cards are available by special order. You can find a complete listing on the website at www.shopwithscrip.com. These cards are ordered each Monday after 10:00 a.m. On this site you can also reload existing cards and order ScripNow which are gift certificates that are emailed to you.
Instant Shopping Hours - Come to the school office during school office hours and purchase any on-hand scrip instantly.
