  GL Script Update:   New Retailers and new Walgreen Benefits

Lands' End Back To School Bonus Offer

Mrs. Field's 50% Off Clearance Sale
Great Lakes Scrip Center has recently learned that Mrs Field's Cookie Company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  The timing of Mrs. Field's announcement comes when GLSC has plenty of Mrs. Fields on hand.  GLSC would like to reduce their inventory of Mrs. Field's Cookies, and are offering this inventory on a 50% bonus clearance sale.  GLSC offers Mrs. Field's certificates in $5 denominations.  If you have Mrs. Field's locations near you, this is an excellent opportunity to earn a significant bonus as long as you can use the certificates in the near future.  This special bonus pricing is only available while supplies last and Mrs. Field's gift certificates sold with this clearance pricing are not returnable.
 
Walgreens Contribution Increase
Earlier this year, Walgreens announced a special 4% bonus on Walgreens gift cards.  This bonus offer gave GLSC customers a special 6% benefit instead of the normal 2% Walgreens non-profit benefit.  This bonus offer was originally scheduled to expire on August 29, 2008.  However, Walgreens and GLSC are pleased to announce the 6% bonus contribution will now be the standard Walgreens contribution until further notice. 
The Walgreens gift card is available in $25 and $100 denominations and is redeemable for merchandise and prescriptions at all Walgreens Drugstore, Rxpress, and Walgreens Pharmacy locations in the US and Puerto Rico.

Apple iPhone Now Available At Best Buy
GLSC customers will be interested to know Best Buy began selling the iPhone on Sept. 7, becoming first U.S. chain to do so outside of Apple Inc.'s and AT&T Inc.'s own stores.  The announcement by Best Buy expands the availability of Apple's iPhone to 970 full-size stores and 16 smaller Best Buy Mobile stores. Best Buy also resells Apple's Mac computers and iPod media players.  Customers can purchase the iPhone 3G and set up an AT&T account.  The process will take about 45 minutes, so Best Buy® is offering scheduled, 1-hour appointment times for consultation and the purchase and setup of your new iPhone. Here's how the process works:
Customers in line will receive iPhone appointment tickets from a Mobile Phone Specialist shortly before the store opens. A ticket reserves an iPhone 3G for you, whether you choose to wait in store or to schedule a day and time to return to this Best Buy for your iPhone 3G purchase and setup. Upon returning to Best Buy, customers who have chosen a specific date and time should visit the iPhone concierge at the front of the store to check in and begin their appointment. Appointments will cover everything from purchase to AT&T account setup. Geek Squad® Agents will be available to assist customers requesting e-mail setup or to answer questions.

If you have any questions, please contact the GL Scrip Chairman, Rachele Waldron at rachelenw@comcast.net.
