Replacing Cash Game
Mandatory Participation
$60
required participation in cash
game.
With
SCRIP, we use gift cards for
things we are already spending
money on.

But, but, but . . .
What about my credit card points?
What if I shop on base?
What if I shop online?
How will this be tracked?
This sounds like too much work!

Easy Way: Monthly gas and
groceries
Giant 4% rebate (McKays 5% rebate)
$50/week for 40 weeks:
Total:
$2000
x 4%
$80
OR
Shell 2.5% rebate
$50/month for 12 months:
$600
x 2.5%
$15.00
Groceries $125/month for 12 months $1500 x4% = $60
Total: $75
+
Credit Card Points
Average rebate on credit cards – 1% to 3%
In order to earn $60 of benefits to pay for the cash game, you
need to spend between $2,000 and $6,000 on your credit
card.
That same amount spent on Scrip would likely result in $100
to $300 in profit for FAW.
