Can our families use scrip to pay store charge card balances and what does a family do for card balance inquiries?

One way to circumvent a stores “no scrip on store charges” policy is to speak with the store manager before making a large purchase. Tell her that you have enough in gift certificates to make this purchase but you dont have them with you. Ask if you can purchase the large item with a credit card and come back a week later with the gift certificates, get your credit card credited and pay with the gift certificates. Chances are the store manager will agree becaus
