Just remember lots of CC co's only allow one points program -- we've run into the UPromise .vs MYPoints .vs Airline miles.

We do all other CCards for UPromise (529 college edu CD)
We do Paypal CC/Debit for Mypoints

and Southeastern CC for Airline

we've been fortunate (or creditwise, unfortunate sometimes) to have more than 1 CC -- we had some parents that didint know u had 2 choose which program

Thanks! It's funny, when I found out that we could get 2 bonus points for each person who signs up and takes the survey I had my family and friends go on. I also told them that if they do any shopping online to go there first and see if the store they're going to shop at is on the Market Place site. [img]smile.gif[/img]

a note on the bingo style sheets you can get from the box top website....they have really helped our coordinator. She can just cut off the top and mail them in large manilla envelopes and we save on postage now.

Also make sure the parents not only know about the shopping thru box tops but also they have a great credit card. a year of 0% interest and it pays back to the shcool for all purchases.

Also each perosn who just signs up on the site earns points too.

Thank you both for the great ideas!! I'm so excited now to offer these ideas to the school and hopefully have much better success with Box Tops.
Thanks again!

There are many great ways to run a successful Boxtops program. Communication is the key first step. If you only had 250 for the whole year, then I'll bet you have parents who don't even know about it.

At my last school, this was a classroom competition with rewards given monthly and then a big classroom pizza party for the annual winners. We divide the school into two groups - k-4th and 5th-8th. The class that collects the most each month gets a treat (popsicles in hot months, popcorn in winter, etc..) The coordinator keeps running totals too and the high collector for the whole school year gets a pizza party. It's a small portion of the proceeds and it's very successful.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."
