- The following vendor's have bonuses going on right now:
- Staple's - 10%, Kmart & Sears - 10%, Land's End - 19%, Buca Di Beppo - 13%, Ritz Camera - 9%
- The
Coney Grille is now part of our Scrip program. This is a local
restaurant that has helped St. Peter with many fundraisers. Please
support our local businesses: Michele's Shoes, Vince & Joe's
Gourmet Market, Nino Salvaggio's, Shield's Pizza, Mysteries of
Light in Mt. Clemens.
- Meijer
is no longer available. Meijer will no longer allow us to buy gift
cards in bulk for the Scrip program. They prefer that non-profits use
their Community Rewards Program. For more information on Community Rewards, Click here.
- Shop with Scrip now allows you to reload the following cards:
- CVS, Hollywood Video, Lowes, Gap and Starbucks.
- We are now including shopwithscrip in our
ordering process (more information will be sent home once school
starts). Shop with Scrip is the internet ordering site for the
Great Lakes Scrip organization. This site allows you to place your
orders online (No order form needed). You can set up a direct debit
from your checking account if you wish (prestopay). The orders will be
recorded and I will be able to print out a purchase order for each
family and release your orders at the same time I place an order for
the school. It's easy and convenient for those people who prefer to use
the internet or forget to place their orders on Monday. You can
order at any time, but your order will not be put through until the
coordinator releases them.
- Looking for more information? Here is the information you need to get started:
- The website is www.shopwithscrip.com
- The first time you use the website, you need to register with the following code:
- L36AEF2A778L
- St. Peter Lutheran Scrip/Macomb, MI
- Scrip will resume the second week of school (September 8th). We will continue to take orders the 2nd Sunday of each month.
- NOTE:
- If you are using a Kroger card and the card is empty
for 90 days, Kroger will drop it from the program. You can still reload
the card, but it will not register as a St. Peter card (you won't get
credit for reloading it).
- The
Board of Christian Education has approved our request to change the
percentage of Scrip credits that can be credited to tuition from 50% to
75%. Scrip participants still have the option to donate their Scrip
credits to another family or 100% to the General Fund.
- We have Kroger, Nino
Salvaggio, Vince & Joe's, Meijer and Kohls cards available for purchase any time. Check your
weekly update or keynotes to see when we will be available on Sunday mornings. We take Scrip orders on the second Sunday
of each month.
