HEB Gift Card Program
What
is the HEB Gift Card Program?
HEB offers a program where schools can purchase gift cards at a discount (4%-5%) and sell them at face value. In other words, you buy a $100 HEB gift card through Baldwin, you receive a $100 gift card to use at HEB or Central Market, and Baldwin receives $4-$5 from HEB (the amount Baldwin receives depends on how many cards we sell). Baldwin has been invited to join with several other schools in Austin in order to achieve the highest discount level (5%).
How does this program work?
Enrollment in the program is easy. Fill out a participation form and return it along with your first months payment to the PTA. Payments are due by the 15th of each month. Your cards will be mailed to you by the 5th of the following month. Once you sign up all you have to do is make a payment by the 15th of each month and your cards will arrive in your mailbox a few weeks later.
What does this program cost?
The program will cost you $1 a month in shipping and handling fees. This fee is to cover the cost of envelopes, labels, and stamps so that all the money HEB gives back to Baldwin, goes to Baldwin.
Where can I use the HEB gift cards?
These cards are good at any HEB, regardless of its location, as well as any Central Market location. Cards are just like cash and do not expire.
Who can participate?
Anyone who shops at HEB or Central Market. Invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends to join in the program. All gift cards will be mailed so participants do not have to live in the Austin area. This gives your extended family the ability to make monthly donations to Baldwin Elementary.
When can I sign up?
Sign up today! Keep in mind, that you are committing to a reoccurring monthly order. However if you need to change your order, just fill out a new participation form and return it along with your new payment amount the following month.
What else do I need to know about the program?
It is important to remember that there is a two week period between when you pay for your gift cards and when you receive them. Also, don't forget these cards are just like cash and if they are lost or stolen you need to contact the gift card committee as soon as possible.
