Q: Why Scrip?
A: The Scrip program has been developed as a Temple
fundraiser. We have participated in raffles, concerts, art auctions,
car washes, etc. in the past and none of these were as effective in raising
funds as this program.
Q: What is the benefit to the
Temple?
A: The Temple is
credited with a percentage of the face value of each certificate purchased
(from 2.5 to 18%). See our merchant list.
Q: What is the benefit to me?
A: You receive full face value in benefits without any
additional cost to your purchase. Your support of the program will help
defray future Temple
expenses.
Q: Can I use cash or checks
to buy Scrip?
A: Yes, we prefer cash or check because it maximizes the
return to the Temple.
Q: Can I use my credit cards
(Visa or MasterCard) to purchase Scrip?
A: Yes, for most retailers. Credit card usage is
limited to merchants rewarding our Temple more
than 3% and only if the credit card is brought into the Temple to put
through the charge (no phone charges are accepted).
Q: Can I pick up and order
Scrip at the Temple?
A: Yes, on all days except for Shabbat. Please call
ahead during the week to make sure Tamara is in the office or purchase
anytime Sunday morning.
Q: Can I order Scrip over the
phone?
A: Yes, but the payment needs to be dropped off to the office
before the order is put through and we ask that you charge in person, at the Temple office
(service fees are less).
Q: Can I have Scrip sent to
my home?
A: Yes, but at your own risk.
Q: Is there a minimum
purchase?
A: No, but the certificates come in different face values
depending on the retailer.
Q: How often can I buy my
Scrip?
A: Grocery stores (Jewel/Osco, Woodman’s, Dominick's, and Prisco Foods) anytime. All other certificates are
ordered monthly. Special orders are possible.
Q: How long from the day I
order can I receive the certificates?
A: Some certificates are available all the time (see answer
above). All others orders are placed by the 2nd Monday of the month and
ready for pickup within 4 days.
Q: If I lose my certificates,
who is responsible?
A: You are.
Q: Can I purchase Scrip for
joyous events?
A: Absolutely for bar and bat mitzvahs, birthdays,
anniversaries, gifts, kids going off to college, etc.
