Dear TVGA members,
Getting Started
Before you can order SCRIP, you need to be enrolled and have set up Presto-Pay. An email concerning this was sent out a few weeks ago. Information on how to do this can also be found in the user guide (see below). Please allow 2-3 business days to set up Presto-Pay.
Please contact me for the TVGA enrollment code. Under ‘student name’, please enter
your gymnast’s first and last name so that your SCRIP purchase is credited to the
correct TVGA account.
User Guide
When you log on to www.shopwithscrip.com, you will see the Family Dashboard. On the left side of this page
is a list of functions, one of which is the user guide. This guide provides detailed information about the entire process. If you are experienced with internet shopping and are comfortable with computers, you probably won’t need this guide.
Payment
When you have finished shopping, click the Checkout button to review your shopping cart. Verify the denomination and quantity of each SCRIP item.
The next step is to choose your form of payment. You must choose the Presto-Pay option. A small convenience fee of 39 cents will be debited from your checking account in addition to the face value
amount of your order.
We will not accept payment by check or cash. If you accidentally choose the payment by check option, I will contact you. Unfortunately I also have to delete your order and you will have to re-enter it.
If your payment is rejected for any reason, TVGA will be charged for the value of your order plus a bank charge of $30. In addition, you will be charged $10 to cover TVGA handling fees. You will not receive your SCRIP until all fees ($30 SCRIP charge plus $10 TVGA charge) and the value of your order, are paid in cash or money order (TVGA will not accept a check).
Please make sure your friends and family who are ordering SCRIP are aware of these
payment policies and fees.
SCRIP Reload Option
ShopWithScrip offers you the opportunity to “reload” funds onto certain gift cards you already possess and you still earn SCRIP credit for your TVGA account. This is particularly useful if your friends order the same SCRIP with you on a regular basis. However reload is only available on select gift cards. Please note: when using the reload option, reload cards are the only items you can have in the order if you want the cards to be immediately activated. Otherwise they will not be activated until the entire TVGA purchase order has been placed and processed, which happens on a weekly basis (see below).
CHARGES
1% of your total order value will be retained by TVGA to cover shipping charges and other expenses related to the administration of this program. For example, if you order $100 of Albertson’s which has a 4% rebate ($4.00), the amount retained by TVGA is 1% of the $100 ($1.00). When we had the SCRIP store, the Albertson’s rebate amount was 3%, so in this case, the end result is the same as in the past.
SCRIP order cycle
You may shop online anytime, placing items into your shopping cart. Once you checkout and make payment through Presto-Pay, the order will stay in the system until I release the order. This will be done on a weekly basis. On Sunday evenings, after 8 pm, I will release all paid family orders into a single purchase order for TVGA. After I receive the SCRIP, the cards will be sorted in preparation for pick-up.
SCRIP Pick Up Policy
As in the past, you or the person you designate to pick up your SCRIP will need to count the SCRIP and sign that they’ve counted and received the SCRIP. Once SCRIP has been signed for, we are no longer liable for it, so if you designate someone else to pick it up, please make sure that person and you are clear about the process.
We will not leave SCRIP in any folders, as it is not safe.
In the event of a SCRIP shipment delay, due to weather or other circumstances, you will be notified by email.
Purchase Receipt
At pickup, you will receive a receipt for your order, which lists each product purchased with the rebate % and value. Please note that the receipt, which is generated by the ShopWithScrip system, does not indicate the 1% which TVGA retains.
SCRIP Pick Up Days
Thursdays 3:45 – 5:00
Fridays 5:00 – 6:00
This is subject to change as we work on getting the system running smoothly. You will be notified by
email if there are any changes.
STARTING DATE
All family orders placed by 8 pm, Sunday February 22nd will be available for pick-up on
Thursday February 26 and Friday February 27.
THANK YOU
Finally, I just want to say thank you in advance for your patience as we get this new process
in place and work out any problems.
If you have any problems, please contact me at MamaofEnS@yahoo.com.
