Visa Prepaid Cards To Be Discontinued

As soon as Great Lakes Scrip Center's current inventory is depleted, we will no longer be offering the Visa Prepaid Card in any denomination. The new federal Credit CARD Act legislation will make offering these cards for scrip fundraising extremely difficult. Those difficulties will greatly reduce the fundraising for our NPO customers and make it unprofitable for our Visa card issuer. We apologize for the extremely short notice, but we have been working diligently to find a solution and concluded, just today, that it is not feasible. We anticipate beginning to run out of stock as soon as the end of this week.

The American Express Gift Cards will still be offered for sale in $25, $100, and $200 denominations, without expiration dates or service fees. Their business model is different than the Visa card and will not be impacted by the new regulations. You can certainly encourage your families to use these cards, in place of the Visa Prepaid Card, at any non-participating scrip retailer or service establishment that accepts the American Express Credit Card.
