Joint cardholders and authorized users will earn the same rewards on eligible purchases as the primary cardholder.

Cardholders will earn 1.5% base rewards per dollar spent on all qualifying purchases, uncapped. Cardholders who meet program eligibility requirements will earn 0.5% bonus rewards per dollar spent on all qualifying purchases, uncapped, in addition to 1.5% base rewards, for a total of 2% cash back.4

In order to qualify to earn the additional 0.5% bonus rewards, cardholders must meet the following requirements:

  1. Have and maintain in good standing any of the following SECU deposit account types: Checking, Share, Money Market Share, CashPoints® Global, Health Savings Account, Holiday Cash Club, Summer Cash, or Individual Retirement Account. SECU accounts that do not qualify include Share Term Certificate, NC 529, Coverdell Education Savings, FAT CAT,® and Zard® Accounts.

  2. Have monthly direct deposits in any of the qualifying accounts totaling $500 or more, in aggregate.

Caveat for new cardholders

New cardholders will automatically qualify to earn bonus rewards for the first three calendar months following their Cash Rewards Card account opening regardless of the deposit account and direct deposit requirements being met. Cardholders must meet the deposit account and direct deposit requirements by the end of the third full month that their Cash Rewards Card account is opened in order to qualify to earn bonus rewards in the fourth month.

 

For example, if a cardholder opens their Cash Rewards Card account on January 15, they would automatically qualify to earn bonus rewards for the remainder of January as well as the months of February, March, and April. The cardholder must meet the deposit account and direct deposit requirements in any two of the months of February, March, or April in order to qualify to earn bonus rewards for the month of May.

 

All cardholders on an account (including joint and authorized users) will earn the same rewards (1.5% or 2%) as the primary cardholder. Eligibility will be based on the primary cardholder’s deposit accounts.

This offer is valid for new accounts only. You must be at least 18 years of age or otherwise eligible for lending services to apply. New lending is limited to residents of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, or Virginia. You are limited to being contractually liable on three (3) total SECU Visa Classic, Visa Cash Rewards, or Visa Points Rewards Credit Card accounts. For more information, please see the SECU Credit Cardholder Agreement.

  1. Redeem rewards for cash back to your SECU Checking or Share Account, or redeem for SECU credit card statement credits. All redemptions must be $25 or greater ($25 reward dollars). Statement credits will reduce the balance on your account but will not count as payments.
  2. For new cardholders only. Balance transfers made under an introductory or promotional APR will be subject to a balance transfer fee of 3% of the amount of each transfer or $5, whichever is greater.
  3. APR = Annual Percentage Rate. APR is your cost over the loan term expressed as a rate. The variable APR for purchases and balance transfers equals the U.S. Prime Rate plus a margin of between 7.50% and 10.50%, based on your creditworthiness at account opening. The variable APR is subject to change, with the U.S. Prime Rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal on the first day of your billing period that begins in January, April, July, and October. Cash Advances have a fixed APR of 18.00%. The APR will not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law.
  4. Net purchases are the eligible purchase transactions minus returns, refunds, other credits, or disputed, unauthorized, illegal, or fraudulent charges. The primary cardholder must have an active qualifying SECU deposit account (certain accounts are excluded) with a monthly direct deposit totaling $500 or more, in aggregate in order to qualify for bonus rewards, otherwise your cash back on purchases will be limited to 1.5% base rewards. You must then meet these direct deposit qualifications in at least two out of the preceding three calendar months to move back to the 2% cash back (1.5% base rewards plus 0.5% bonus rewards) qualifier. You will automatically qualify for bonus rewards for the first three months following account opening. Additional restrictions apply. Cash rewards expire in four (4) years. Certain purchase transactions are not eligible for rewards. Refer to the Cash Rewards Terms and Conditions Supplement for further details.
  5. When you enable auto-redemption, your entire rewards balance will be redeemed as cash back to the selected account or as a credit card statement credit each month. Your rewards balance must exceed the minimum $25 required redemption to activate the auto-redemption.
  6. Interest begins to accrue on purchases and balance transfers from the day the transaction is added to the daily balance and continues to accrue until the total amount owed is paid. You can avoid paying interest on purchases and balance transfers if you pay the entire balance for the prior billing cycle by the payment due date in the current billing cycle. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances.
  7. Visa Zero Liability Policy for unauthorized purchase transactions means you are not responsible for fraudulent transactions on your card if you promptly notify us of any unauthorized use. For additional details visit Visa’s Zero Liability Policy.
