What is Comet Cash?
Comet Cash is a Scrip program where you buy gift cards to places you already shop and use them for everyday purchases. You can purchase physical cards or purchase electronic gift cards that are held in your online ‘wallet’. Electronic cards can be used in person and online when doing your shopping. St. Thomas PTO is able to buy these cards at a discounted rate, as little as 2% or as much as 26%. These discounts, or rebates, are used to help fund supplies for our school. Part of the rebates are also given back to YOUR family to help with your child’s education.
Rebates
For each rebate percentage, half goes to PTO and half goes to YOU! The totals accumulate through the school year (June 1 – May 31) and are applied to the following school year in August. It will even go to students at Peoria Notre Dame.
How does it work?
We work with a company called RaiseRight, found at www.raiseright.com. I encourage you to take a look at their website to find out more about Scrip. You can create an account, see what vendors are available, start shopping, and start SAVING. Even better, you can receive email updates directly from them about special bonus rebates and offers. Visit the website raiseright.com or search the App Store for the RaiseRight App and start saving on the go! Our school code is 7F89FB447759.
What cards are available?
We keep cards on hand to nearly 75 retailers for quick shopping. The list is available on RenWeb under Resource Documents. In addition, anything listed on the www.raiseright.com website can be ordered. Special orders can be placed at your convenience and orders are usually filled within a few days.
Payment options
Cash and checks are great! We are unable to take credit cards because of the fees associated with them. Online orders and reloads can be paid electronically via PrestoPay debited from your checking account or by credit card. Please see www.raiseright.com for more information. These transactions are handled by RaiseRight.
Purchasing/Ordering
1) Catch someone selling after mass in the lower level of the church. 2) You may send completed order forms through “backpack mail” to school. 3) You can also order online at www.raiseright.com or through the App.
Kroger
Kroger no longer utilizes a rebate program. Instead, they contribute to the PTO through their Community Rewards program. On Kroger’s website, under your Plus Card, go to Account Summary – Community Rewards – enter 10452 or search St. Thomas. Please register, every little bit helps!
