Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the “Shoppers' Advantage” Program?

By purchasing debit cards and paper certificates in bulk quantities, Shomrei Torah is able to sell the same cards and certificates that you would normally use for shopping at over 50 major retailers (e.g. Bloomingdale's, Amazon.com, Blockbuster, Macy’s, etc.), including grocery stores (ShopRite, Stop & Stop and A&P). Shomrei Torah receives a percentage of the purchase price — at no additional cost to you! The list of retailers follows below.

2. Will I still be able to stop by the Office and purchase certificates and debit cards for Shop Rite for Stop & Shop and A&P?

Yes.

3. How do I use the debit cards and paper certificates?

Same as cash.
