Scrips Program
Overview

 

The Scrips Program is a fundraising program that FC Alliance has enrolled in to provide families an option to earn credits to pay for their child’s club soccer fees.  Parents simply enroll in the program and purchase gift cards at face value at the stores they are already shopping. There are a variety of gift cards available for  department stores, home improvement, shoe stores, restaurants, hotels, gas, car rental, pet stores, book stores…the list goes on and on. A percentage of the card value is applied directly toward your child’s soccer fees.  For example Applebee’s gives 13% of the amount purchased, Chili’s 9%, CVS 6%, Marriot 8% and so forth. To enroll in the program, view gift available gift cards or to place an order, go to www.shopwithscrips.com.

Get Started with Scrips Program 

Log onto: 
www.shopwithscrip.com and create your account.

  1. When prompted enter the enrollment code 318C892513615.  It should tell you you are part of Tennessee Valley Futbol Club.
  2. Enter your soccer players name as the student and enter the team manager’s name and age group as the teacher name. For example: Student – Fiona Futsol   Teacher- Joe Organized 96 U14G. Please update this information if it has been over a year on your scrips "profile". By entering this I will know which team your child plays for and whom the rebate check belongs to.
  3. Do not register for Presto Pay- we are not using this option.
  4. Once you are registered you can then go to ordering. Order as you would for any online purchase. You can change your order while you are making your order but once you check out, the order cannot be changed. You will be able to see the amount of rebates offered by each company as you shop.
  5. Once you are done placing your order PRINT A COPY. If you want a copy print two.
  6. Mail a copy of the order with your check to: TVFC Fundraising c/o Trish Gleason, 213 Woodland Trace Drive, Knoxville, TN 37934 
  7. Have checks payable to TVFC. You can also give the order to me at the fields.
  8. Checks will be due one week before the order is placed. Banks have the right to hold checks for 5 business days before crediting them to our account. Once the order is placed we usually receive the cards fairly quickly. Total turn around is usually two to two and a half weeks from the time checks are deposited.
  9. One Dollar will be deducted from each total order from the rebate check.
  10. Once orders are received you will be notified by email and a pick up location will be announced.
  11. Rebate checks will then be dispersed to the team of the player in the player’s name. (No funds are dispursed to a player directly. All rebate checks are deposited into a team account.)You will get a copy of the rebate amount to keep for your records. The rebate amount can then be deducted from team fees and club fees that a player owes.
     

Facts

  • Orders are placed approximately once a month. Check the announcements on the shop with scrip web site; it will have the next order date posted there. This is the date that checks are due.
  • We are only taking payment by check at this time.
  • You may enter multiple orders each month. They will be processed as one total order. You will only be charged one dollar for shipping per TOTAL order.
  • You can have people order gift cards from you but I cannot accept checks from them. Please have them pay you and write one check for the total order from your account. DO NOT WRITE ONE CHECK FOR GROCERY CARD AND SCRIP ORDERS COMBINED. These are very different programs and are handled by different people. If I receive a check for both grocery card and scrip together I will not be able to place your order.
  • You will only have to register once.
  • Funds generated this year will be able to be carried over to next season.
  • If your son or daughter decides to stop playing you cannot receive this money. The funds are required by law to remain with the club.
    You may decide to donate the money raised to another player or to a team.
  • You will not be asked to enter your bank information on the site. If you are asked to do so you are enrolling for Presto pay. We are not participating with this option at this time.
  • There are hundreds of vendors available on this site. We have been using this vendor for close to three years. They have proven to be a reputable company. 
  • If I do not receive your order by the deadline for checks the club order will be placed without your order. You will have to wait until next month to order again. Your order will remain online. If after two months I do not receive a check your order will be cancelled off the site.
