Safeway Scrip Cards
-
Buy a $5 reloadable Safeway card from the Band Booster Reps, Carol Bosshard or Wendy Podesta at mhsmusic.sws@gmail.com. The card already has $5 loaded onto it.
-
When you are at Safeway, and before the cashier rings up your groceries, ask the cashier to reload your card (i.e. increase the balance stored on the card). You can reload with any amount up to $500. You can pay for the reload any way you like. When it's time to pay for the groceries, swipe your gift card instead of your credit card.
COST TO YOU: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING – you can even earn the same points on your credit card that you usually would when you buy groceries.
EFFORT FOR YOU: VIRTUALLY NONE! You have to carry an extra card in your wallet, and remember to reload it, but that’s it!
BENEFITS TO MHS BAND BOOSTERS: 5% back on all your reloads. Reload with $100, and MHS Music gets $5!
