Grow our Gift Cards Campaign
August 2020

This month, all gift card purchases for each family will be tracked and recorded towards
your students' grade level progress. The grade with the highest overall gift card
purchases for the month will receive a personalized, commemorative HCA item for every
student in that grade.

Each student in your family will have the total amount of your gift card purchases count
towards this month's challenge. For example, if you have 3 children (grades K, 2, and 4)
and you purchase a total of $500 in gift cards during the month, all 3 of those grades will
have your $500 count towards this reward.

Purchases of both physical and e-cards will be included. Remember, there is no limit to
the amount of Tuition Credit your family can earn. And every purchase is also helping
support HCA fundraising.

We are currently still requesting that you pre-order your gift cards or consider purchasing
e-cards on ShopWithScrip.com BOTH physical and e-cards can be purchased with
cash or checks payable to Holy Cross Academy or on ShopWithScrip with your linked
Bank Account or Credit Card.

If you have any questions or need help getting started, contact Kris Nastal at

About Our Gift Card Program

The Holy Cross Academy Gift Card Program is a great way to reduce your tuition!  Holy Cross Academy families receive 100% of all rebate credit earned from gift card purchases made through the school. These rebate credits appear in the December and April tuition payments. Gift card rebate credit for the 2018-2019 school year began April 1, 2018 and will continue through March 15, 2019.  For the 2019-2020 school year, rebate credit will run from March 16, 2019 thru March 15, 2020.

How You Can Participate

HCAfundraising.com - is the website that keeps record of each family’s purchases and tuition rebate totals.  This site is designed for families to order physical gift cards. In stock cards will be filled on a daily basis. Special orders received by Monday at 10 a.m. should be filled by the end of the week. The rebate credit shown on the HCAfundraising.com website is automatically adjusted to reflect the exact rebate credit the family will receive.

 Shopwithscrip.com - is the website for families to purchase eCards (electronic), reload existing gift cards and take advantage of any specials offered. 

• If a family purchases an eCard or reloadable card from the shopwithscrip website but pays with a check, that card is not available until the payment is received and the eCards are released by the gift card coordinators at HCA.  This could take up to 7-10 days. 

• If a family purchases an eCard or reloads an existing gift card from the shopwithscrip website and pays with PrestoPay, that eCard is downloaded or reloaded to their account electronically.  ECards are available for immediate use.  Reloadable cards may take 24 hours before the funds are available.

   

• It can take 7-10 days to fill you order from shopwithscrip.  Payment can be made online through PrestoPay or by sending a check into the gift card coordinators.

• Families receive 100% of the rebate for eCards and Reloadables. The school does not retain any percentage of these rebates. 

• If a family purchases a physical gift card through a Bonus Offer from the shopwithscrip website, the school will retain up to 1% of the the rebate displayed from the respective vendors and apply it toward the school’s fundraising budget.  The school family will receive the balance toward their tuition credit.

  • 1% off of those rebates from 4% - 20%

  • ½% off of those rebates from 2% - 3%

  • If a rebate is under 2%, the rebate given to the family will be 1%.

Additional Gift Card Program Details

• If a family’s rebate credit from gift card purchases exceeds their April tuition payment, the overage will be applied toward next year’s tuition.

  • If the last child is graduating and attending a Catholic High School, their rebate credit can be applied toward that high school

  • If the last child is graduating and not attending a Catholic High School, a family can contribute their rebate credit to another family or fund.  If not, the rebate credit will go into the school’s general fundraising account. You must give the gift card coordinator your directive by March 15.

• If a family pays their tuition in full upfront, their rebate credit will be applied toward next year’s tuition.  That overage will come off of their total tuition for the following school year.
