Official Rules & Regulations

Customers must present receipts to mall management office from any store or restaurant at River Valley Mall.  Qualifying receipts are on purchases made from August 1 through September 30, 2008 ONLY, and MUST BE FROM a retailer at River Valley Mall.

Purchases made on Monday and Tuesday – not necessarily receipts that are turned in on Monday and Tuesday, qualify for double points.  Promotional advertising or bonus points are NEVER eligible for double points unless otherwise stated on the advertising.  (i.e. a customer can turn in a receipt on Friday that is from a purchase made on Monday and earn double points.  A customer CANNOT earn double points for a receipt turned in on Monday that is from a purchase made on Saturday).

River Valley Mall Gift Card Purchases count as double points during the promotion.

Receipts may only be used one time and will be marked when presented to mall management office. The receipt must be the original.  Duplicate receipts, photo copies, faxes and internet orders will not be accepted.  All receipts must be redeemed by 9:00 pm on Wednesday, October 1^st. 

Purchases of bus passes, faxes and photo copies cannot be redeemed for points.  Credit Card payments, even if made to a store at the mall, will not be accepted for points.

Store employees may not request, or copy, receipts from store customers in order to redeem them for points.  Additionally, stores (or store employees) may not hold receipts to give to schools to redeem for points.  Solicitation of stores by schools to hold receipts for such schools is prohibited.

Receipts are only valid from River Valley Mall.

Each dollar spent equals 1 point.   Any less than $.50 will be rounded down to the nearest dollar, and anything equal to or greater than $.50 will be rounded up to the nearest dollar (Ex. $10.45 = 10 points and $10.56 = 11 points).  Double points will be given if the purchase was made on a Monday, Tuesday, and for River Valley Mall gift cards, and the receipt indicates as such.

The highest points per student ratio will determine the winning schools.  The total number of points for each school is divided by the number of students enrolled in the school, and all schools regardless of size will start with a minimum student enrollment of 100.  Enrollment numbers will be provided by the schools.           

The in – mall tote board will be updated weekly with the leading schools according to points only, point per student ratio will not be calculated until the final week and will not be posted in the mall.
