Magnuson Tuition Bucks Program - Policies

Effective for the 7/1/2008 – 06/30/2009 Earning Year

The first $200 of rebate earnings will be split:
50% to Magnuson Christian School (MCS)
50% to your family’s tuition account*

All rebate earnings over $200 will be split:
25% to MCS
75% to your family’s tuition account*
*You may also choose another family's tuition account, the MCS Scholarship Fund, the MCS General Fund, or you can select a classroom or specialist area to direct earnings towards.

1.    An Enrollment/Waiver of Responsibility Form must be completed prior to or submitted with your first order. This can be done online or you can fill one out and mail it to Magnuson Christian School, ATTN: Tuition Bucks Coordinators. A 4-digit account number will be assigned to each MCS family registering for the Magnuson Tuition Bucks program.

2.    Family and friends are encouraged to order certificates/gift cards through our program. They may register for their own account online at www.shopwithscrip.com using our Enrollment Code: 82LC7E4E157LL, and your family’s account number as part of their last name (i.e. 9000*Smith). They must submit a completed Enrollment/Waiver Of Responsibility Form prior to their first order. You can also place orders for friends and family under your account. When registering, participant is responsible for entering the correct 4-digit account number and asterisk before their last name, with no spaces. If no account is designated or account number is incorrect earnings will be directed to the MCS Scholarship Fund.

3.    Parents looking to the future and planning to enroll their children at MCS can also participate the year prior to child’s enrollment. These families will be assigned an account number and the Magnuson Tuition Bucks program will hold the monies earned until their child is enrolled as a student at MCS.

4.    The Magnuson Tuition Bucks program will hold program earnings. The accounts will be reviewed in January and July of each year and earnings accumulated from July 1 through June 30 will be credited towards tuition for the next school year. A statement of earnings and certificate with the credit earned will be provided to you by July 30. You can choose to use it to decrease your monthly tuition payment any time from August through December 31 of the following school year.  Any discrepancies must be brought to the attention of one of the Tuition Bucks program coordinators within 30 days of the statement date.

5.    The Magnuson Tuition Bucks program is being offered to promote Christian Education at MCS. If your child(ren) will no longer attend MCS for whatever reason, the monies held in your family’s account will be transferred to the MCS Scholarship Fund, or if received in writing this money can be credited to another family’s tuition. All written notices must be received within 60 days of the time the child(ren) leave the school.

6.    All certificate orders during the regular school year must be paid for using the online Presto-Pay* option provided by ShopWithScrip at the time of ordering, or by turning in the Order Confirmation Page along with a check made payable to MPTP-Tuition Bucks.

7.    During the summer months all certificate orders must be paid for using the online Presto-Pay* option provided by ShopWithScrip at the time of ordering.
(*Presto-Pay is a service offered by ShopWithScrip. There is a $0.39 transaction fee for each order. It can take up to 2 business days to enroll with Presto-Pay so please keep this in mind. Enrollment and verification is done by ShopWithScrip by depositing two small amounts into your bank account.)

8.    Cash not accepted for any orders.

9.    Tuition Bucks payments are not tax deductible because you receive dollar for dollar value.

10.    If your check is returned because of non-sufficient funds (NSF), you will be charged a $30 fee payable to MPTP-Tuition Bucks. After two NSF checks are tendered on your account, your ordering privileges will require a money order for the rest of the school year.

11.    Program gift cards/certificates are purchased on your behalf, and are not returnable. Click on the 'Retailers' tab to check the Detailed Product List on www.shopwithscrip.com for possible limitations and expiration of certificates for their retailers. Some retailers may allow you to pay credit card balances with gift cards and others may not.

12.    During the school year parents can pick certificates up after 10:00am on Fridays. All certificates not picked up by 2:00pm will be sent home on Friday in student backpacks. If you do not have a student enrolled at MCS you may pick your certificates up between 10:00am and 3:00pm on Fridays or have them mailed to your home.

13.    Program certificates/gift cards are the same as cash, and should be handled accordingly. Neither the Magnuson Tuition Bucks program nor MCS is responsible for misplaced, lost or stolen certificates delivered by a student, another adult or mailed to you.

14.    Parents are responsible for talking to their children about the certificates that will be sent home in their backpacks.

15.    When you pick up or receive your Tuition Bucks order, please open it immediately and verify its accuracy. In the unlikely event you should find a discrepancy in your certificate order, please contact one of the Magnuson Tuition Bucks program coordinators as soon as possible.

16.    Occasionally Great Lakes Scrip (the distributor) will temporarily run out of gift cards for a certain vendor and will be unable to completely fill our order. In this case, you will be notified as soon as possible.

17.    The Magnuson Tuition Bucks Program reserves the right to make changes to the Magnuson Tuition Bucks Program as needed.
