Unused Cash Rewards expire after four years and unused Points Rewards expire after five years. Rewards are redeemed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means older rewards will be redeemed before newer rewards that you earned.
SECU Cash Rewards and Points Rewards cardholders can now redeem their earned rewards for Visa RewardCards.
Earn with endless possibilities
Both rewards cards offer ways to earn as you spend on everyday purchases. Calculate your reward potential with our Credit Card Rewards Calculator.

Frequently asked questions about credit card rewards
Credit Card Rewards FAQ
You do not earn rewards on certain transactions, including those involving the purchase or funding of instruments such as gift cards, prepaid cards, money orders, cashier’s checks, foreign currency, cryptocurrency, or securities; transactions involving money transfer, money transmission, or wire transfers; or purchases made for gambling or lottery purposes. Additionally, cash advances, balance transfers, interest, fees, and other charges do not earn rewards.
Cash back redemptions are a way to use your rewards to get an SECU Checking, Share, or credit card statement credit (Money Market Share and FAT CAT® Accounts excluded). Cash back redemptions start at 2500 points which equals $25 and will be credited to the account you select within three to five business days. Statement credits reduce your balance but do not count as payments. You are still required to pay the minimum payment due as shown on your billing statement.
You may elect automatic redemptions to an SECU Checking, Share, or credit card account for statement credits (Money Market Share and FAT CAT Accounts excluded). At the end of each month in which your rewards balance meets or exceeds the minimum $25 required for redemption, all of your available rewards will be automatically redeemed. You may change your automatic redemption at any time.

Visa RewardCards
The Visa RewardCard is a reward redemption option that allows you to convert your rewards into a Visa payment method. RewardCards may be used to purchase goods and services from participating merchants in the United States who accept Visa debit cards. They are not reloadable and cannot be used to obtain cash at an ATM or cash back in any purchase transaction.
The virtual account is digital and can be used online, over the phone, or in-store using a digital wallet, whereas the physical card is a plastic card that is mailed to you and can be used anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted.
You can use your Visa RewardCard or virtual account anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted within the United States.
Some merchants (such as gas stations, hotels, or rental services) may place a temporary hold that is higher than the purchase amount. Be sure your RewardCard’s balance can support this type of transaction.
