Gift card orders due last Friday of the month

Earn funds for your escrow account!

You must follow the steps listed below or your order will not be processed. You may not submit checks/order forms separately or email/text special/late requests to the gift card coordinator. Once your order is submitted no changes will be accepted. Incomplete orders and orders submitted without a check will NOT be processed, but will instead be returned to you via your aquatic club folder.

Please follow these steps to place an order:

Complete the order form in its entirety.
Attach a check to the York YMCA Aquatic Club - add $1 to each order to defray shipping costs to the club. Orders will not be purchased without payment.
Place check and form in an envelope; note “gift card order” on the envelope.
Place envelope in the Giant/Scrip gift card drawer in coach’s office at the Graham Aquatic Center by 6 PM the last Friday of the month or alternate date specified in the team email communication.

ORDER PICK-UP: A team email will indicate when the orders have been filled and may be picked up. Orders not picked up from the Program Coordinator at the club meeting will be placed in the Giant/Scrip drawer in Coach’s office.

Giant/Scrip Overview

This is a team sponsored program intended to defray escrow costs for any swim family that chooses to participate. Gift cards are ordered by the York YMCA Aquatic Club from Giant Food Stores and Scrip (which offers a wide variety of gift cards including food, restaurants, shopping, and hotels). The cards are sold to our organization at a discount and this discount is reimbursed directly to each family’s escrow account. Current discounts are 5% for Giant and 2% to 50% for the gift cards available from Scrip.

Here is how it works:

Order one $100 Giant gift card and pay $100 to the Aquatic Club.
Giant charges the Aquatic Club $95 for that $100 gift card.
You receive the $100 Giant gift card which you can use to purchase gas, groceries, or other gift cards sold at Giant.
You also receive a $5 credit into their swim escrow account (the 5% discount amount) which will be used for meet entry fees, swim purchases, and other qualifying items.
