Dear All, I got several requests for explanations about Schoolpop so here is the answer. Let me say that I have no financial interest in this site. It is at http://www.schoolpop.com Basically it is a fund raising site where you register and designate a school to receive the benefits. You then get a discount of 3.7% to 6% on items that you or people registered for your school purchase from online stores that they represent. They have stores in all categories: books, apparel, toys, flowers, gifts, computers, auctions, auto supplies, etc. The idea is to get as many friends and parents signed up for Schoolpop as you usually get a $5 credit for each new member who signs up for your school. It works well with PTA support. Once every couple of months a check is sent to the designated person at each school for these rebates. The prices for the items that you buy online are the same as if you didn't use Schoolpop. I have ordered from both B&N and Amazon through Schoolpop and the service was the same as always except that the rebate added to the donated funds. It's quite painless. Our school participated in a similar program with AT&T Learning Points (now defunct) and we were able to get a TV/Computer converter, a digital camera and a printer. The key is to get as many people (friends, parents, teachers) signed up for your school. Right now there is a special promotion that if you get 50 people to sign up by Sept. 30th you get a $250 gift certificate to B&N.
