Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Samaritan Card?
The Samaritan Card is a wallet-size card which gives access to deals and discounts at more than 100,000 national and regional retailers, hotels, restaurants, and recreation venues. You sell this card to raise money. Your donors pay you only $20 per card, so the card pays for itself in just a few uses.
Can I see a list of all the merchants?
Because there are more than 100,000 merchants (and we’re always adding more), we cannot provide a complete list. We can, however, provide a list of our most popular merchants. We can also give you access to our savings website so you can preview the merchants and discounts.
Does the Samaritan Card have an expiration date?
Yes, the card expires one full year from the date of activation.
What kinds of deals are available as a cardholder?
The deals and discounts are IN-STORE, ONLINE, and are also available through PRINTED coupons. The discounts vary by location and can change over time, but you’ll always find ways to save up to 50%.
Are the deals and discounts exclusive, or can I find them elsewhere?
We have “private” relationships with some retailers who give our members one-of-a-kind discounts. Other retailers give similar deals or discounts they might give to others. However, we guarantee there's not a better way to find so many great deals all in one place, at one time.
Do I have to pay the full amount of my order up front?
No, you pay only a deposit of $1 per card up-front. The rest you pay 45 days later. We will apply the deposit to your total amount due.
What if we don't sell all of our cards?
You may return up to 25% of your order for a refund. We will credit your account for the same amount you paid, per card. There is return processing fee of $25. Cards must be returned within 60 days of your original order.
What does the Samaritan Card look like?
The card is a high-quality, plastic card with a glossy laminate finish, and the size of a credit card. It is attached to a larger post-card size cardholder.
Do merchants drop off the Samaritan Card, and are new merchants added?
Sometimes a merchant will offer a timely, one-time deal and then appear to drop-off the card entirely. This is rarely permanent. You will see them appear again soon with a different promotion. We are adding new merchants all the time!
Do I earn more profits if I pay the entire amount up-front?
Yes! If you pay for your entire order up-front, you'll receive a discount of 25%! This is a way some groups raise significantly more money.
Do you offer materials to help us fundraise?
Yes! You will receive free collection envelopes to help your team keep track of their sales. And remember you card is attached to a larger post-card size promotional piece.
