Shopping through the Queens Jewish Center: MyQJC e-Shop

The Queens Jewish Center has a special opportunity to fundraise for the shul in a different and innovative way. It is FREE money for the shul, and it comes at NO cost to you and NO cost to the shul. It is quick, easy, helps the shul, and it is FREE!

      A penny saved is a penny earned. - Benjamin Franklin

We have all heard Ben Franklin's famous idiom for saving money. It is upon this principle that the Queens Jewish Center can raise FREE money, at no cost to the shul, through the same actions that our members are doing anyway.

HOW IT WORKS:

All of us, at one time or another, have made a purchase on the Internet. Whether it is a purchase at The Gap, Staples, Dell, eBay, Amazon, etc, our purchases can range from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars. The Queens Jewish Center has a special arrangement allowing it to collect a percentage of each of those sales. It is very simple and very easy.

If you are going to make a purchase or sign-up for a service at a store on-line, you should first click on the shopping link, from The Queens Jewish Center's website, or go directly to: http://www.myqjc.org/MyQJC e-Shop.htm . From here, you will see a listing of all of the stores that you normally shop at. Simply click the links for your favorite stores, and complete your purchase they way that you normally would. Your shopping purchase is EXACTLY the same, and the price of your purchase does not change AT ALL. It is that easy!

WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND MY STORE?

Given the vast number of stores that can be found on the Internet, it is impossible to have EVERY store, but give us a chance. In the search box, at the top of the page, type in the name of your store. If it isn't listed, then we will try to get it, so that it will be there for your next purchase.

HOW MUCH WILL THE SHUL EARN?

Well, that depends on how many items you are purchasing online. The more you use the site, the more money the shul will collect. To take Ben's principle further, pennies add up VERY quickly. A penny here and a penny there quickly become a dollar, which becomes ten dollars, which becomes a hundred dollars. The amount generated varies according to the amount of the sale and from store to store. Some stores pay only one percent, others pay as much as forty percent. Others pay a flat fee for a product sold. A penny on a dollar really doesn't sound like very much, but ask Ben and he'll tell you that those pennies add up VERY, VERY quickly.

Examples:

1. If you make a reservation with United Airlines the shul makes $3.00
2. Stamps.com -  free trial and even if you cancel and it costs you nothing, the shul makes $37.50
3. Make a reservation at Marriot hotels the shul gets 1.5%
4. Shutterfly new customer purchase the shul makes $15
and more and more and more

The more that you use the site, the more that the Queens Jewish Center will make. It's easy, it's simple, it costs you NOTHING and it's FREE money for the shul as long as you go through http://www.myqjc.org/MyQJC e-Shop.htm .

PRIVACY, SECURITY & COMFORT

All of the sales generated through the particular merchant's website are only GENERATED there. All of the credit card, payment and billing information are all handled by the respective stores, just as before. We never handle ANY personal information. We don't save ANY personal information. We never even SEE any personal information.

All of the sales generated are ANONYMOUS. We don't know who made the purchase nor do we know what was purchased. At the end of the day, we only know that a sale of $xxx.xx was generated at store YYYYYY, and raising $zzz.zz for the shul. At the end of each quarter of the year, we receive a check with our FREE money! (Yes, it is called commission - now you are getting it!)

WHATS NEXT?

It's a no-brainer. This is FREE money for the shul. There is ZERO effort to shop through the site, and not to do it is money lost. It is money available for new programs, expanding existing programs, renovations, whatever we want and they are funds that are raised that DO NOT come out of yours or our pockets.
