“Scrip” is a money substitute, such
as a gift card. The PCUUC Scrip Program is a simple way to earn money
for the congregation through everyday retail purchases. Every dollar you
spend for scrip generates income for PCUUC based on the percentage
offered by the company issuing the scrip.
Participating in the program is easy.
We have $100 and $25 Jewel and Dominick's cards in stock. Buy them from
our Treasurer, Mark Wilson, at any time with a check or cash. You can
also order scrip from dozens of leading retailers. Orders are due on the
third Sunday of each month. The scrip will be distributed the following
Sunday.
To purchase scrip by order, you need to
do two things: place your order and pay for
it. You have options for both.
Step 1: Placing Your Order
Online Orders:
- Go to www.shopwithscrip.com.
- Follow the link on the right side of
the screen to register as a user. The PCUUC enrollment code, which
you will need to register, is F11973A513573.
- Follow the directions on the screen to
enroll. You may also download a helpful user's guide by
clicking a link on the left side of the screen.
- After you have enrolled, you may place
your order online at any time before the order due date.
Paper Order Forms:
- Review the list of companies on the
PCUUC Scrip Order Sheet and the larger list of companies listed at
www.glscrip.com under the blue tab labeled “Retailer List.” A
print-out of the entire Retailer List is also on the table in the barn during each service next to the Scrip Order Sheets.
- Fill out the order form and give it to
our Treasurer, Mark Wilson, or to any other Board Member. You
may also put your order form in the collection basket during a
service or in the mail to the congregation's post office box.
The address is on the form.
Step 2: Paying For Your Order
You can pay for your order with a direct
debit payment or by check.
Direct Debit Payment:
- Get a direct debit authorization form
from our Treasurer, Mark Wilson (treasurer@prairiecircleuuc.org).
- Fill out the form and return it to
Mark with a cancelled check. PCUUC keeps your banking
information strictly confidential.
- In the future, your purchases will be
charged directly to your bank account on the Monday after the order
due date without the need of writing a check.
Payment By Check:
- Write a check payable to Prairie
Circle Unitarian Universalist Congregation (PCUUC) in the amount
of the total purchase price for your order.
- Give the check to our Treasurer, Mark
Wilson, or to any other Board Member. We must have your check in
hand by the order due date. If you are submitting a paper
order form, please enclose your check with your order form.
Important points to remember:
- You may generally use scrip like cash for
purchases from the issuing retailer. (Don’t lose the scrip – remember,
it’s like cash!) Check the retailer’s listing at www.glscrip.com
or www.shopwithscrip.com
for any
special conditions that might apply.
- Retailers occasionally have specials,
and participating retailers sometimes change. Check www.glscrip.com
or www.shopwithscrip.com
for the latest retailer information.
- Get in the habit of purchasing scrip each
month. Every dollar you spend generates revenue for PCUUC.
- Feel free to alert family and friends
that they can help our congregation. Anyone can enroll at www.shopwithscrip.com
to purchase scrip from us. You can also take extra order forms and
give them to friends or family.
- PCUUC does not endorse any retailers.
Rather, the idea of the program is, “If you’re going to buy it anyway,
buy it with scrip provided by PCUUC” to generate some funds for the
congregation.
- There are no returns or refunds. All
purchases are final.
If you have any questions, please contact
PCUUC Treasurer Mark
Wilson.
