1.   Participants of the Crusader Cash Program must establish an individual account at www.shopwithscrip.com.  Follow the directions to “Create Account.”  You will be asked to enter our enrollment code:  28633B212167L. (Participants from prior years can use their existing account.) 

2.  You may pay for your purchases by check (payable to Holy Cross HSA), or by Presto Pay (direct debit with a 15 cent charge added per order).  Payments due by order deadline of 9:30 a.m. on Tuesdays.

a.         Checks are deposited promptly. There will be a $30.00 charge for checks returned (NSF). 

b.         To set up Presto Pay (through the ACH system), click on the Presto Pay button.  You will be asked for the routing number and bank account number for your checking account, then follow the instructions.  There is a 15 cent charge for each order placed.  If you choose presto pay, your account information will be verified through a series of two small deposits (pennies) to your account.  The initial verification process could take as long as 72 hours. (The first order may need to be paid for by check)

3.  Orders will be accepted until 9:30 a.m. on scheduled Tuesdays.  Any order coming into school later or on another day will be held for the following scheduled order date.  Orders will be delivered on scheduled Thursdays through the participant’s designated delivery option – backpack or office pickup.  There may be RARE occasions that our supplier, Great Lakes Scrip Center, cannot fill our order in a timely fashion.  We will contact you immediately with the explanation we have received.  If this occurs, we will make every attempt to get your gift certificates to you as soon as possible.

4.  It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure the Crusader Cash envelope is given to the teacher or placed in the designated box in the office.  Envelopes that remain in the backpack or cubby can not be processed. 

5.  It is the participant’s responsibility to verify order upon receipt of the Crusader Cash envelope.  Any discrepancies must be addressed within 24 hours.

6.  We will only deliver Crusader Cash envelopes to individuals designated on the participant’s registration form.  Any changes must be requested in writing with the participant’s signature.

7.  Participants are responsible for noting restrictions and benefits pertaining to gift certificates (for example, expiration dates, ability to use for online purchases, payment on store credit account, etc.).  A complete listing of each vendor’s terms and conditions of use can be found on our supplier’s website at www.glscrip.com.

8.  You must sign a waiver to release Holy Cross School, its employees and volunteers from any lost or stolen gift certificates.  Once the gift certificates are delivered to you or your child, you will assume responsibility.  Please consider the age, maturity and how the child gets home in making your choice to participate in the Backpack Program.  Please note that certificates are cash equivalent and can not be replaced, traced, or refunded if lost or stolen.

9.   A participant’s earnings depend on the discounted rate associated with the gift card purchased.  Discounted rates from merchants range from 1.5% to 25%, but generally average around 5%.  HSA purchases gift cards at a discounted value (the difference between for face value and discounted rate) and sells to participants at face value.  The participant will earn 90% of the discounted rate to designate toward their tuition obligation, fundraising obligation, or the Guardian Angel Fund (tuition assistance).   The remaining 10% of the discounted rate goes to HSA to cover the costs of the program – shipping, printing and supplies.

10.  Participants must select an Earnings Distribution Method (EDM) on their registration form.  This designates where participant earnings will be credited:

-       Tuition Obligation

-       Fundraising Obligation

-       Guardian Angel Fund (Tuition Assistance)

11.  CREDIT SCHEDULE

            Earnings Period                                Date Credited to EDM

            November – December 31     →        January 1

            January 1 – March 31            →        April 1

            April 1 – May 15                      →        May 31

12.  If the participant’s EDM is Tuition Obligation, the participant’s earnings will be credited evenly over the remaining monthly tuition payments.  (ex. $40 earnings by December 31 will lower the participants Jan, Feb, March and April tuition payments by $10).  Any earnings accrued as of May 31 will be credited toward next year’s tuition if applicable. If no future tuition obligation exists, earnings will be credited toward the Guardian Angel  Fund.

13.  If the participant’s EDM is Fundraising Obligation, the participant’s earnings will be credited as outlined above.  Any earnings accrued as of May 31 that exceed a participant’s current Fundraising Obligation can not be credited toward next year’s Fundraising Obligation.

14.  If the participant’s EDM is Guardian Angel Fund, thank you for your generosity!!
