The Shop and Support program works in a similar fashion to our Loblaws gift card program, except they have many companies from which cards may be purchased, with different fundraising percentages attached to each card.

Please download the form below that shows the list of participating companies, card denominations available and the fundraising percentage associated with each gift card.

What Shop and Support Gift Cards are Available...

Fund Raising Assessment
The amount of a family's fundraising assessment is dependent upon the highest level of swimmer in the family. Although it seems like small fundraising percentages through this program, the little bits do add up. It does not take too long to get up to $300 ($150 for intro) when purchasing groceries, gas, clothing or dining out at restaurants. Once all the funds raised reach the family's fundraising assessment, then the rest of the funds raised are split 50/50 between the family and NYAC.

Example:
Groceries $500 x 3% = $15.00
Gas $150 x 2% = $3.00
Movies $50 x 10% = $5.00
Coffee $50 x 5% = $2.50
Funds Raised $25.50

Group Number
For the Shop and Support program, the NYAC group number is 0100555617. This number will usually be populated in the appropriate field on-line, but please ensure you verify it is correct.

How to register and order your gift cards online...

Payment
If you intend to use on-line banking for payment - which is the fastest way - Preferred One can be set up as the Payee. You will need your customer/member number which you will receive through registration. Some banks do not have Preferred One set up as a payee so you can pay by having the amount transferred out of your account. It is fairly straight forward when you are in the Ordering Cart as to how this can be done. Credit card payments are not recommended as the fundraising percentage is reduced by an average of 2% for these transactions.

Delivery
Each time an order is placed, it asks for an address. You can get the product cards delivered to your home either via Canada Post (free, but you must waive liability) or via Purolator Courier (costs $12.95, signature required). Orders are shipped within 48 hours of confirmation of payment. Typical delivery times from Purolator Courier are within 1 business day to local major centers and 2 business days across Canada. Typical delivery times for Canada Post are 5 to 7 business days from the time it leaves our facility. NYAC will not be offering a "deliver to group" option. Please ensure the cards are delivered to your home/business address.
