2011 Official Rules & Regulations
This year’s program begins on August 14, 2011 and ends on September 17, 2011. Customers must present receipts to Guest services from any Grand Central Mall store or restaurant. Qualifying receipts MUST BE FROM a retailer at Grand Central Mall, on purchases made during the program period ONLY, and must be turned in each Saturday by 9pm. Receipts must be turned in the same week as purchase (Sunday through Saturday) to count.
Any public or private K-12, elementary, middle, or high school is eligible to participate. Pre-Schools, colleges and other post-high school institutions are not eligible.
Purchases of Grand Central Mall Gift Cards made on Tuesdays, even if not turned in that day, count as double points during the promotion. Receipts must be turned in the same week as purchase (Sunday through Saturday) to count.
Receipts may only be used one time and will be marked when presented to Guest Services. The receipt must be the original. Duplicate receipts, photo copies, faxes and internet orders will not be accepted. Purchases of bus passes, faxes and photo copies cannot be redeemed for points. Credit Card payments, even if made to a store at the mall, will not be accepted for points.
Store employees may not request, or copy, receipts from store customers in order to redeem them for points. Additionally, stores (or store employees) may not hold receipts to give to schools to redeem for points. Solicitation of stores by schools to hold receipts for such schools is prohibited.
Each dollar spent equals 1 point. Any less than $.50 will be rounded down to the nearest dollar, and anything equal to or greater than $.50 will be rounded up to the nearest dollar (Ex. $10.45 = 10 points and $10.56 = 11 points). Double points will be given if the purchase was made on a Tuesday, for Grand Central Mall gift cards, and the receipt indicates as such.
The highest points each week, based on student ratio, will determine the winning schools. All points will re-set to zero at the start of each new week (Sunday). The total number of points for each school each week is divided by the number of students enrolled in the school, except that all schools regardless of size will start with a minimum student enrollment of 100. Enrollment numbers will be provided by the schools.
At the end of the week (Saturday) – the top three (3) schools with the highest points per student ratio will win cash prizes: 1st Place $1,500, 2nd Place $1,000, 3rd Place $750.
