Gift Cards
Gift Cards/Merchant Cards benefit Spring Creek Outreach Ministries
Merchant Cards (“Gift Cards” or “Scrip”) are a great way to support Spring Creek Church of the Brethren’s outreach ministries. With each card purchase, the merchant gives a percentage of the value back to the church. You get the full value of the card; the church receives a bonus amount. For example, every time you purchase a Lowe’s $100 merchant card, you receive $100 in card value and the church receives $4 (or 4%).

3 Kinds of Merchant Cards
Traditional Cards - These are the traditional plastic cards you can purchase and carry with you for your everyday purchases or give as gifts to others. Giant and Weis are examples of merchants offering traditional gift cards.
“Scrip Now” - Some participating merchants offer electronic or printable certificates which can be downloaded (and printed) or emailed to you immediately at the time of purchase. The certificate number can be used for online purchases or the printed certificate can be claimed on-location at the merchant. Giant Foods, Amazon, Lowes, Starbucks, Dunkin’ and Dicks Sporting Goods are examples of merchants offering “Scrip Now.”
Reload - Certain participating merchants allow you to add to your card balance. Increase or “top up” your card’s value to keep it ready for ongoing purchases at your favorite merchant. By reloading your card through our program, Spring Creek continues to receive a bonus from the merchant. Lowes, Home Depot and Sheetz are examples of merchants who offer reloadable cards.
