What is Scrip?
Simply, Scrip is gift cards. We’ve signed up for our Scrip program through “Great Lakes Scrip Company”. Great Lakes has contracted with hundreds of the country's biggest brands including grocery stores, gas stations, department stores, restaurants, hotels and more to purchase gift cards at a reduced rate. When you purchase Scrip, you receive the full value you purchase, but RCS receives credit for the rebates offered from each of the retailers from which you purchased.
How Do I Benefit From Buying Gift Cards from Scrip?
Paying tuition is our least favorite part of private school, right? To help offset tuition costs, we have established a new “Tuition Reduction Incentive Program” or TRIP. The best part of the TRIP program is it works while you do your normal shopping and it costs you nothing additional!!! With TRIP, you now have the option to designate 50% of the rebate your Scrip order earns towards your tuition bill! Even better? If you encourage your friends & family to sign up, they can designate their earnings to go towards your account, too! This has the potential to be huge!
Take this example: You purchase a Safeway gift card for your monthly grocery trip. You pay $500 & receive a $500 gift card. Safeway offers a 5% rebate, so RCS receives $25 credit from your purchase. $12.50 can be credited towards your tuition bill. It really is that easy

How can I buy Scrip?
A selection of Scrip are kept on hand in the RCS office & available for purchase during office hours. Selection varies. Additionally, each RCS family can sign up for their own Scrip account through ShopWithScrip, using Riviera's enrollment code. Please contact our Scrip coordinator, Darcy Gunter or check in at the office for the enrollment code.
Why should I sign up for a ShopWithScrip.com account?
You don't have to - we will continue to accept the printed scrip order forms. However, there are several benefits to signing up for your own ShopWithScrip account. One of the great benefit to signing up for your own ShopWithScrip account is the ability to purchase Scrip at your convenience. Remembering deadlines can be tedious, but when you sign up for your own ShopWithScrip.com account, your plastic cards will ship with our next group order (just don't forget to pay for your order).
Additionally, if you enroll in PrestoPay, you have the ability to order eScrip , which is delivered electronically & available to be used within minutes of your purchase. ShopWithScrip also offers a mobile site, so ordering on the go is so simple!
Visit the Shop With Scrip website to see the hundreds of available Scrip options - even more options available than those listed on the printable Scrip order form!
