Questions & Answers
To opt–in to the Cool School Prime promotion, eligible operators must be enrolled in Cool School Cafe and logged to their online account, then visit coolschoolcafe.com/prime to complete the promotion opt-in form. This generates a Letter of Participation (LOP) and a Letter of Termination form (LOT), if your district is switching from another rebate processor. You will receive an automated confirmation email prompting you to submit your distributor information to a Cool School Prime representative. Upon receipt of your distributor information (Locations, customer numbers, etc.), the Cool School Prime team will initiate a data request to your distributor(s) on your behalf.

PRIME Rebates features cash back rebates on over 175K products from 350+ manufacturers AND the benefit of the Cool School Bonus Points in addition. PRIME Rebates also guarantees 10% or more cash back rebates than other rebate programs.
If your program is contract managed (ex: Sodexo, Aramark, etc.) you may continue to participate in the legacy Cool School Cafe program and earn points on qualifying purchases (see CoolSchoolCafe.com for details). However, only self-operated programs are eligible to participate in Cool School Prime at this time.
No, with Cool School Prime you automatically receive both! The key difference between Cool School Prime and other rebate programs is that you will receive BOTH Cool School Bonus points and cash-back rebates. The average Cool School Prime member will receive 3x the Cool School points and 25% more in their rebate checks annually than other rebate programs.
Cool School Prime complies with all regulations and processes set forth by our participating distributors. Each distributor has their own set of requirements for the protection of your data. At a minimum, Cool School Prime is required to provide distributors with your Letter of Participation (LOP), Letter of Termination (LOT) for any current rebate processor (if needed) and your customer account numbers. This allows the distributor to add your customer account to our program reporting (Powered by Buyers Edge Platform). For most distributors, that is all that is required for notification. Occasionally, there are additional steps that need to take place during the enrollment process, such as proof that any previous processors were notified of termination by districts, etc. Should your distributor need this additional proof, rest assured we will work with you to complete the necessary steps to ensure proper handling of your membership. There are no extra steps that a district will need to complete with the previous processor.
We work with over 1,200 distributors throughout the country for reporting data; each has their own set of requirements for the protection of your data.
We are required to provide each distributor with your Letter of Participation (LOP), Letter of Termination (LOT) (if needed) and your customer account numbers. This allows the distributor to stop the feed to any other processor, and then add the data feed to our program (Powered by Buyers Edge Platform).
For most distributors, that is all that is required for notification. For others, there are additional steps that need to take place during the enrollment process. Some distributors require the previous processors to be notified by districts, some require a 3-way NDA and others a copy of an email.
Cool School Prime complies with all regulations and processes set forth by our participating distributors. As a result, and because of these valued partnerships, we are proud to support 1,500+ (and growing) Cool School Prime districts nationwide.
If a district wishes to, we can analyze your purchase data to see if there are other items you can switch to if you wish to maximize your rebate amount.
Buyers Edge Platform is the parent company for over 30 foodservice technology brands, including both Cool School Cafe and Prime Services. Buyers Edge Platform maintains distributor partner reporting relationships our programs. Operator member information is never shared with a third party.
