SCRIP Update
Retailer Special Offers
It appears that retailers are trying to increase their sales and have started offering temporary bonuses. Bonuses currently running:
Exxon/Mobil gift cards will have a 2.5% bonus to Bethlehem through April 2, 2010. That means, during this time period, the $50 gift card contribution will increase from 1.5% to 2.5%, and the $250 gift card contribution will increase from 2% to 2.5%. The gift card is redeemable for authorized products and services only at Exxon and Mobil facilities.
Changes:
-New to the SCRIP family is Papa Murphy’s. Bethlehem receives 10% for each certificate $10 certificate sold. The certificates are good at all Papa Murphy’s nationwide. Locally, we have a Papa Murphy’s on Pilgrim and Silver Spring and one on County Line Road. It has been added to the attached SCRIP order form.
-The contribution for Lands' End will change to 16%. The denominations remain the same at $25 and $100.
-The non-profit contribution for Domino's Pizza will increase from 5% to 8%. The denomination is unchanged at $10.

Please continue to think about using SCRIP as it is still a great way for us to earn revenue. The revenue that SCRIP generates goes to Youth Ministries, Bethlehem School, and the compassion fund.
Please continue to use SCRIP as it is a great way to generate revenue for Bethlehem. There are so many ways to work SCRIP into your everyday purchases….gas, food, and clothing. These are purchases we need to make anyway. Simply look at our list of retailers and see if there are any that you frequent. If so, consider purchasing a gift card through SCRIP.
The American Express cards make great gifts. Unlike the money cards you purchase from your bank for a fee or the cash cards you purchase through a store (as many stores now offer gift cards for other retailers), there is no charge for the card and no activation fee.
Your mailbox and e-mails have probably become overloaded with catalog and internet offers. Sometime you receive free shipping, money off, free products, etc. Many of these companies are on our retailer list.
Do you shop through Amazon? Did you know you that Amazon certificates are available through SCRIP? Just think, Bethlehem could benefit from each purchase you make if you purchase the Amazon certificates through SCRIP.
