My wife and I get at least two of these every year and we more than save at leasts double what we paid for the books, heck I saved about 24$ in one day of shopping, but then again I was out to prove a point. They are a great source of cupons, we love cupons, and a great way to support community and environmentaly friendly buisnesses.
Here is the blurb from thier site.

PTP would love to run on pure love and good karam but until Whuffie becomes the international medium we need the cold hard greenbacks.

Listed here are various FundRaising ideas.

My wife and I get at least two of these every year and we more than save at leasts double what we paid for the books, heck I saved about 24$ in one day of shopping, but then again I was out to prove a point. They are a great source of cupons, we love cupons, and a great way to support community and environmentaly friendly buisnesses. Here is the blurb from thier site.

"Chinook Book is an extraordinary new fundraising tool available to schools and community groups in the metro region. Chinook Book contains educational information and thousands of dollars worth of coupons. Every product or service in the book meets your local environmental criteria.

Chinook Book is a fundraising tool for schools, non-profits, conservation organizations and other community groups. The books sell for $18 each and the seller keeps up to 50%, depending on the number sold. "

How it works from the Contributors end-

  • they register any one or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.
  • participating merchants will make contributions to their chosen group, thats us, based on purchases made using those cards. Purchases are tracked and available to them online, so they can see just how much they are contributing.

From PTPs end-

  • get memebers to register thier cards and use the merchants participating
  • the merchants then give x% (usualy around 5%) of the purcahses to the group
  • every 60 days we get a check

Downsides

  • from what Im reading they are only acepting groups with a tie in to education and schools.

from thier FAQ "What types of organizations can participate in the eScrip program? The eScrip program is a program for schools and organizations that directly support the education of youth. " Could the PTP make a case for educational?

  • privacy folks will hate this.
  • they charge a fee , 15% I think, from what you generate.
