Any not-for-profit organization
that has members can participate in the VIP Program. This can
include, but is not limited to, schools, churches, sports groups,
bands and community groups.
|
Your organization may order
according to its own requirements, however most organizations
order on a weekly or biweekly basis in order to provide continuity
of the program. |
Vista purchases gift certificates
and gift cards in bulk directly from each supplier. These certificates
are the same ones that you can purchase at full face value from
these stores. However, by purchasing the gift certificates through
Vista, your organization earns revenue on every dollar spent
at the participating retailers. The bulk of the negotiated rebates
extended to us are passed on to your organization.
|
Most of the gift
certificates have no expiry date, come in different denominations
and can be used at all participating locations throughout
Canada. Most gift cards offer a declining balance.
|
Vista has entered into partnerships
with key retailers who have agreed to give a rebate to Vista
for volume purchases of gift certificates. Retailers want to
be assured that the rebate benefits not-for-profit organization
only. This is one of the ways these retailers benefit the communities
they are a part of. It is a three-way partnership between the
retailer, Vista and the not-for-profit organization.
|
Your rebate will be calculated
at the time of your order. The rebate is automatically calculated
and will be deducted at source. You pay Vista the net amount
of the order, the fundraising dollars are immediately in your
account. |
