Shop Scrip Gift Cards

Scrip Gift Card Fund Raiser
 
Throughout the year, H.U.B.O.B. provides everyone the opportunity to purchase gift cards for their favorite retail and grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and more. Here is how this program works:
 
You buy a scrip gift card through your church’s scrip program. You’ll pay the full face value, but you’ll earn an immediate rebate percentage for the church that’s typically between 3% and 18% depending on the retailer. Then you use that gift card on your normal purchases.
 
#Full List of Retailers
 
So as you shop at the places you regularly do with our gift cards, we get a percentage back on that card. So if you buy a $100 Cheesecake Factory card which has a 5% rebate, the church gets $5 and you get the full face value of the card to spend at the restaurant. You’re not spending extra time or money— it’s just earning for our church!  With over 700 retailers to choose from, we have a card to suit every need!  The percentage rates for each retailer vary and can be found of the retailer link above.  Don’t forget, it’s not just restaurants and retail stores! Use your gift cards at the pharmacy as you fill your prescriptions, or use the cards when you do your own shopping.  You can get the things you need while supporting the church.
Here is just a sample of the participating retailers you can purchase gift cards for. There are over 700 retailers in this program!#gift-card-retailersy
To place a gift card order, contact Suzanne Stonaker at sstonaker@gmail.com

(Please note: ShopRite and Foodtown are NOT part of the scrip program.  They work the same way but they are independent.  We receive a standard 5% for each one we sell.
