CPS School Council Gift Card Fundraiser

 

School Council has just launched a new gift card fundraiser for Charlton Public School using FundScrip!

 

Please visit the official website here:
https://www.fundscrip.com/support-a-group/Z2VDEL

 

Once there, you will have to create your own personal log-in to be able to purchase gift cards online. Choose from over 150 different retailers offering different gift card options (with differing value amounts and available in different formats, such as plastic, e-gift card or reloadable card). You will be able to scroll through to see the different retailers or search for a specific one (and there are many to choose from including gas, groceries, apparel, restaurants, etc.)

 

Support CPS by buying gift cards for others as gifts or buying for yourself to use on your everyday purchases! Each gift card is assigned a cash back percentage (the exact amount is visible on the website), which is the amount that will be donated to Charlton Public School. You will be able to use the full amount of the gift card purchased (ie. if you buy a $25 Indigo gift card, you will be able to spend the full $25). The gift cards may be used in store or online (which will be specified on the website according to which gift card you purchase).

Our fundraiser will run on an ongoing basis until May 31, 2021.

If you would like to receive plastic gift cards before the holidays, it is recommended to place all orders by December 8th at 6:30 am. You may also consider purchasing an e-gift card which can be then be printed and given as a gift.

 

The gift cards will be shipped directly to your home or to any Canadian address of your choice (such as to other family members or friends). The school will not be receiving any orders at this time. Shipping costs $1.04 paid by the supporter at checkout. 

 

The shipping cost is currently waived for orders that fall between $200-$500 (as a COVID initiative currently offered by the company until the end of this year). Once items are added to your cart, the shipping fee will show, however, after you proceed to checkout, you will see that the shipping fee is waived, if applicable. If the order is less than $200, the shipping cost of $1.04 will be applied.

 

There is a limit of 4 gift cards per order and a total maximum value of $500 per order. You can place orders as often as you like, independent of any schedule.

 

There are 3 payment methods available:

1. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) - there are no fees associated with this method. It can be easily set up when you join through the website (it will prompt you if you select this payment method).
2. Online Banking Bill Payment (aka Payee) - there are no fees associated with this method. This method allows you to pay for your orders as you would pay for any other bill. Please note that it can take at least 3 business days for FundScrip to receive payment. (This payment method is not recommended if you want to receive the cards before the holidays).
3. Credit card - the earnings will be reduced by 1.99% to cover fees associated with this method of payment. (For example, if the cash back value is 10%, it will reduce the value donated to 8.01%).

We thank you for your support.
