CU Reward Visa Program Rules**
Every dollar(s) in qualifying purchases, net of returns, "Participant" transacts on their credit card account eligible in this Rewards Program ("Program") earns Participant Point(s) ("Point") as provided for in these Rules.No points are earned for finance charges, fees, cash advances, convenience checks, foreign transaction currency charges, or insurance charges posted to their account. Charges or transactions may be added to, or removed from, the above lists of eligible charges and transactions from time to time at the sole discretion of the Program. Any questions as to what constitutes an eligible charge shall be resolved at the sole discretion of the Program. Points for this Program begin to accumulate with purchases Participant makes beginning on the first day of the billing cycle in which their Program begins and ending on the last day of the last billing cycle of the announced duration of their Program.Points earned from net purchases and point adjustments made between billing statement cycles will be deemed as earned after being posted to Participant's next monthly statement.
Points will expire three years from the end of the calendar year in which they are earned, and will expire on a first-in, first-out basis annually. (i.e., points earned in calendar year one will expire on the last business day of calendar year four.)
Points may also be forfeited due to Rules violations.
The Points Program is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
Points can be used to order the awards described in the current brochure or the program website, which may be updated from time to time. Point requirements assigned to any award are subject to change from time to time without notice, and awards may be discontinued or substituted at any time. Award suppliers have agreed that, to the best of their ability, merchandise featured in this Program will be available in sufficient quantities to meet expected demand. However, there may be instances in which product demand exceeds supply, in which case the Program reserves the right to substitute a similar item of equal value or withdraw the offer for that product. If it is not replaced points will be refunded, and the Participant will be advised to make an alternate selection.
Accounts must be open and in good standing (not canceled or terminated by party; not delinquent, over limit, or otherwise not available to use for charges) at time of redemption. Awards are not available when a cardholder is in default under the card agreement. The sponsoring financial institution reserves the right to suspend the cardholder's participation in the program until the account is in good standing.
Awards will typically be shipped via a parcel delivery service or by the U.S. Postal Service and will generally ship within 2-3 business days of order received. On occasion, an item will be out of stock. You will be notified of this while placing your order. Once the item comes into stock, it will ship within 2-3 business days. Some items may be drop shipped directly from the manufacturer/supplier and may take 4-6 weeks for delivery, but most often those items ship within 10 business days. Drop-shipped items will be noted as such under availability. There will be no charge for Standard Delivery within the 48 contiguous United States. Shipments to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico are subject to additional shipping and handling charges as well as applicable taxes. There may be items that are in-eligible to ship to some locations. Shipments cannot be made to a post office box or outside the 48 contiguous United States and its territories, with the exception of APO/FPO addresses. If you enter an international non-APO/FPO address for shipments you will be contacted for an alternative address. A valid street address and home phone number are required to accept an order.
The program extends a 100% guarantee return policy for any item received damaged or defective providing that it is returned with all original packaging.
For items that are received damaged, recipient must notify Customer Service within 48-hours of delivery. For items that become defective within 30 days of receipt, customer service will provide a replacement. For items that become defective after 30 days of receipt, customer service will provide a ‘proof of purchase’ so the item can be serviced under the manufacturer warranty. Some manufacturers e.g. Apple, Troy-Built, HP, will not allow returns, but will provide exceptional warranty service. In these cases, the award recipient may receive instruction on how to obtain warranty service as opposed to a complete award replacement from the manufacturer. NOTE: Digital award items are not returnable. Because codes are “live” and e-mailed to recipients. The program is unable to return or exchange such digital products.
