MEIJER'S LAND'S END, SCRIP, KROGER INFO
Gift Card - Gift Certificate - Community Rewards Program
There is good money to be earned by parents and parishioners through use of the Gift Card, Gift Certificate, and Community Rewards Programs at St. Peter's. You may have questions on how to purchase and use gift cards/certificates, and how to access the Community Rewards Program. Hopefully this FAQ will answer many of your questions. If not, please call the Parish Center at 419-524-2572 to be connected to the person who can help you with unanswered questions you may have.
What Gift Card - Gift Certificate Programs do we have at St. Peter's?
Presently, we have these programs through Meijer, Lands' End, and MCS Scrip.
What Rewards Programs do we have at St. Peter's?
The Kroger Community Rewards Program
How does the Meijer Community Rewards program work?
Pick up an application for yourself, your family members, and your friends here at St. Peter's or at any Meijer store. Everyone can also apply online. Tuition credit or donation is a percentage dependent upon the dollar value of monthly purchased made using a Meijer credit card, cash, or a debit card. Meijer sends St. Peter's a monthly report along with a check for the tuition credits or donations earned. These tuition credits are applied to the following school year.
How does a Lands' End gift card work?
Lands' End gift cards are also available Thursdays before and after school and every weekday in the 4th floor Tuition Office. The tuition credit or donation is 15% of the purchase price and is applied to the following school year. Gift cards can be redeemed by mail order, phone order, fax order or online order. Gift cards can also be redeemed for Lands' End items at Sears.
Can you explain the Mansfield Christian School ("MCS") Scrip Program?
Mansfield Christian School has agreed to allow St. Peter's School parents, teachers and parishioners access to their much larger gift card/certificate program. The Scrip office offers gift cards/certificates from hundreds of businesses - local and nationwide - providing the user the opportunity to purchase gift cards/certificates for everyday items like food, clothing, gas, and other essentials. The percentage of tuition credit earned varies with each business.
Simply visit the Mansfield Christian School Scrip office durnig school hours to place your order and have it filled immediately. MCS reduces the percentages listed on the form by 30% to cover their costs. A quarterly report, along with a check for the tuition credits or donations, is sent to St. Peter's. The amounts are applied to the following school year.
Can I continue using the gift cards/certificates for tuition credit for my son/daughter attending college?
Yes. You must set up a new Scrip "college tuition credit" account personally at Mansfield Christian School in their Scrip Program office. You provide them with the name of your son or daughter and the name of the college he/she is attending. Dollar credit earned by purchasing gift cards/certificates through the MCS Scrip Program can be used for college tuition or college-related expenses and can be sent to you son's/daughter's college several times during the same year in which it is earned, at your request to the MCS Scrip office.
When purchasing Scrip gift cards/certificates for a "college tuition credit" account, do I need to visit the MCS Scrip office?
Yes. You can obtain the form here at St. Peter's (or at MCS) but the form must be taken by you to the MCS office. They will fill the order immediately.

***KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS***
How does the Kroger Community Rewards Program Work?
Families can earn rewards and designate them towards St. Peter's by using their Kroger Plus Cards. "Rewards" refers to the dollars earned toward your tuition account or designated St. Peter's program. If you do not have a Kroger Plus Card you must first get one from a Kroger store. Then, register you Kroger Plus Card online to get the rewards. You must have an email address to be able to register the Kroger Plus Card. Families can earn rewards on most everything, ever time they shop! There are specific purchases, however, that are not available for rewards: alcohol, tobacco, government-assisted pharmacy expenses, postage stamps, Kroger gift cards, Green Dot Prepaid Cards, gift certificates, bottle deposits, lottery tickets, promotional tickets, fuel, fuel center purchases, office services and Sales Tax. Eligible pharmacy purchases includes "out-of-pocket" co-pays for non-government-assisted pharmacy programs.
Do I loose points from my Kroger Plus Card by designating to St. Peter's?
No. The Kroger Community Rewards program is separate. The points you gain by shopping at Kroger are not affected by designating to St. Peter's. The Kroger Company has set aside $5 million dollars for the Kroger Community Reward Program. Dollars are allocated to each school by the number of participants, when they sign up, and the amount of Kroger purchases.
Ok, I have my Kroger Plus Card - how do I register it online and select St. Peter's?
Go to the www.krogercommunityrewards.com website and click on the [Ohio] button to create an account and register your card. Once you have created your account, select the "My Account" menu item. Scroll down to the "Community Rewards Information" box and enter ST. PETER'S PARISH & SCHOOL (organization name) and 81244 (organization number).
What if I do not have access to a computer?
Talk to a friend or come by the High School library and we can help! The librarian is available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and on Thursday from Noon to 3:00 p.m.
What if I do not have or do not use email?
You can set up a free email account using "Yahoo" or other free email service. If you are uncertain how to set up an email account, talk to a friend or come by the High School library. The librarian is available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and on Thursday from Noon to 3:00 p.m.
How does St. Peter's know which student of program I want my Rewards to go to?
A St. Peter's "Rewards Designation Form" must be completed, which is used to identify where you want your Kroger Community Rewards designated (e.g., tuition, general operations). This Form can be picked up from the Parish and High School offices, or printed from the St. Peter's website. Please return the form to the Parish or High School office once complete.
When are my Rewards applied to my tuition?
Rewards from the Kroger Community Rewards Program will be applied to the following year's tuition balance.
How can I find out my balance?
You may request a quarterly statement from Jim Cox by contacting him. See the contact information at the end of the FAQ.
I have already registered my Kroger Plus Card with the St. Peter's Community Rewards Program - do I have to do this again?
Yes. Each new program year - May 1st - Kroger requires re-registration by all individuals and families. You can begin re-enrolling April 1st, 2010.
How do I re-register?
Go to the www.krogercommunityrewards.com website and click on [Already enrolled? Sign In] button. Once you have signed on, go to "My Account." Scroll down to the "Community Rewards Information" section and enter ST. PETER'S PARISH & SCHOOL (our organization name) and 81244 (our organization number). You may re-enroll beginning April 1, 2010.
How do I know if I was successful at registering or re-registering?
You should see the "ST. PETER'S PARISH & SCHOOL" name each time you go to "My Account" at the www.krogercommunityrewards.com website. Another great way to check is to look at the bottom of your Kroger receipt the next time you shop. The following phrase "At you request, Kroger is donating to ST PETER'S PARISH & SCHOOL" should print at the very bottom of the receipt.
Can my Kroger Gift Cards still be used for tuition credit?
No. The Kroger Community Rewards Program uses the Kroger Plus Card to track rewards. Your Kroger Gift Cards may still be used for regular purchases at Kroger's - see the Kroger customer service personnel to check your balance.
If I want to continue using my Kroger Plus Card to reduce tuition costs but my children have all graduated, can I designate a family at St. Peter's School to receive my Rewards, or can I designate that the Rewards go to the Annual Tuition Drive so it helps a family in need of assistance?
Yes. Obtain a St. Peter's Designation Form from the High School Office, the Parish Office or from the website. Mark your designation preference and return to the Parish or High School Office when complete.
I have more questions. How do I get help?
