HOW IT WORKS: SHOP. SHOW. WIN!
Shop. Show. Win! After shopping and dining, your school’s family and friends can fill out the form and either place it in the drop box at the Security Desk (located near the Regal entrance) along with your original receipts, or show your original receipts at the Management Office (located past the bathrooms near Sephora) to accumulate points. Shoppers must specify which participating school to allocate the points to. For every dollar spent at Colonie Center, your school will receive one point!
RACK ‘EM UP: BONUS POINTS
Each month, there will be fun opportunities for bonus points, like taking holiday photos at Colonie Center or making a purchase from a specified retail partner. We’ll keep you in the loop with a monthly email and our website will also always have up to date information.
RACK ‘EM UP: IN-SCHOOL PUBLICITY POINTS
For every extra effort you take in promoting participation in School Bucks, your school will earn 1,000 points, with a maximum value of 10,000 in-school publicity points!
Examples of in-school publicity points include but are not limited to PTA/Booster Club/Principal’s newsletters, parent email newsletters, bulletin boards, student newspapers, back to school supply lists, athletic programs, website listing, etc. Samples, copies, or photographs of in-school promotions can be dropped off at Colonie Center’s Management office, emailed to CSeverson@coloniemanagement.com or mailed to:
Colonie Center Management Office, 131 Colonie Center, Albany, NY 12205
RACK ‘EM UP: SOCIAL MEDIA POINTS
Mention your schools’ School Bucks participation on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and your school will receive 1,000 points per post, with a maximum value of 12,000 social media points. Email your social media post screenshots to NMcGreevy@coloniemanagement.com.
