Discount card fundraisers are great (especially right now). Do your research on profit charts and you should be able to get 80 - 90% profit on a $10 card.
The reason I bring it up because in the last post it looks like they sold 4,000 cards (500 students x 8 cards each) and made $20,000. Selling that many cards should net you about $36,000 ($9 x 4,000)
I would just say to be sure you do your research and know what other pricing is out there.
Yes it was our first year. We had sold cookie dough before and candles, but with elementary school kids it was great that they didn't have to get a order then go back and carry stuff to deliver. The best thing for our PTO was we didn't have to store a bunch of product or worry about it going bad. I liked that they put our school logo on front with a special design.
Our elementary school just held a fundraiser selling discount cards for $10 a piece. The great thing is we got to submit a wish list of business that we would like on the card and they were able to get a larger percentage from our wish list. Many of the discounts paid for the card after 1 or 2 uses and the card was the size of a credit card and they put our logo on the front which was really great. We have over 500 students an averaged selling about 8 cards per kid and we made over $20k. It only took 2 weeks and we will do it again next year!

Our school just did a raffle for both a WII and a Large Screen TV, We paid out about $1200 buying the tv, wii and printing the raffle tickets. We made about $6000.00 We sold the tickets for $1.00 each or a book of 6 for $5.00 very low cost to the parents and they arent't stuck with junk they really liked having it.

We are looking at a new fundraiser this year. One of the other schools in our district tried it and they made $ 2000. You purchase the M&M containers give them to each child and ask them to fill it with quarters. Each container hold $14 in quarters. They are going to do it again this year with the hopes of make $3000-$4000. The investment was about $250 for the all the M&M tubes.
