About eScrip
ELECTRONIC FUNDRAISING IS EASY AND FREE THROUGH ESCRIP!
eScrip is a free and easy fundraising program that automatically earns money for OIS through purchases made at hundreds of eScrip merchants such as Safeway, Diablo Foods, and Macy's. In 2011-2012, OIS received over $32,000 in donations from eScrip merchants. Please support OIS by registering your Safeway Club Card, Macy's card, and debit/credit cards, and eScrip merchants will make contributions to OIS based on your purchases--at no cost to you!
What if I'm already registered with eScrip and support another organization (such as my elementary school)?
You can support up to three organizations, so you can add OIS or change your account to support only OIS (if for example you no longer have children in elementary school). Donations are divided equally among organizations if you support multiple groups.
How do I update my credit card information?
Go to eScrip, click on "my eScrip" and enter your personal ID# and password to review your account. Go to “Register credit and debit cards” and enter each card and card number. Don’t worry - protecting your personal information is a top priority. The site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information and uses state of-the-art encryption. The web server and database reside behind a firewall in a secure datacenter with fault tolerance, offsite backup, and firewall protection. eScrip maintains a multi-tiered system with no direct access to the database.
Its easy! Please renew your Safeway Club Card by visiting eScrip's home page and clicking "yes, renew" on the red checkmark. (Note: The absence of the renewal link indicates that your card does not need to be renewed.) You must renew every year by November 1st or Safeway stops all donations linked to that card.
Do I have to show my Safeway Club Card when I buy groceries or does it matter how I pay for my groceries?
You do need to scan in your club card or type in your phone number at the Safeway register in order to receive benefits. The bottom of the receipt will indicate that eScrip was notified of the purchase. Your method of payment does not affect your eScrip donation or Club Card Savings.
What if I do not shop at Safeway?
Register your credit and debit/ATM cards. When you shop at other eScrip merchants they will donate money to OIS. Escrip merchants include Diablo Foods, Lunardi's, Macy's (if you use your Macy's card), American Airlines, and 700+ online merchants. To view all eScrip merchants, visit eScrip and select "family of merchants,” or click here to view a short list of local merchants.
What about airline miles and other rewards associated with credit/debit cards?
You will continue to earn airline miles, special bonuses, and other rewards associated with your cards. The eScrip donation you earn has nothing to do with the other benefits that you currently receive.
Can my friends and family support OIS with their purchases?
Absolutely! You need not be a parent to join the program. Ask the grandparents, friends, relatives, etc. to sign up…it's quick and easy, and it costs them nothing!
It's a great way to build customer loyalty and contribute to their communities. When parents know that a merchant is going to donate to their student's school, most parents will be more likely to shop there.
