**Delta – Flying Delta Airlines this summer? It’s now available through scrip in ScripNOW and physical gift cards. **Scrip Thankscripping Day 5/11 – THIS MONDAY! Great way to get extra rebate back. Be sure to check it out when you are ordering your scrip for our 5/12 order…just in time! Presto Pay? How do I do that again? Here’s the info… Keep ordering scrip all summer long with Presto Pay (well – most scrip – sorry no Publix). It’s a great way to maximize your scrip rebate, as you will be able to buy Scrip Now. Scrip Now are cards that can be bought and printed right from home, or from your smart phone at the store. There’s even an App for that (of course) called MyScripWallet which keeps track of all of your ScripNow purchases and makes paying with your phone easy! Presto Pay is a convenient way to pay for your Scrip orders when we start processing orders next school year (or our summer order). Every time you place an order with Scrip and pay with Presto Pay, Great Lakes Scrip will automatically debit your checking account for the cost of your order, plus 15 cents. The $.15 is charged once per order, no matter how many cards you get or how much the order costs. Here’s how you sign up…
Click on the “PrestoPay” link on the www.shopwithscrip.com Dashboard
Enter your bank account and account holder information
Within 2-3 business days, Great Lakes Scrip will deposit two small amounts in your bank account. The next time you log in, enter these amounts in your PrestoPay registration to verify the account and choose a PIN number to use for online payment
You will receive an email with an approval code
Forward that email to us so we can enter it under your family name
That’s it. You will get an email soon afterwards that your account is setup for Presto Pay!
Sign up now and we won’t miss your confirmation email. However, if you sign up over the summer…we won’t be hanging out in the PPA office in the gym over the summer…so please forward that email to either [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks for Taking a T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) with Scrip!
