Did you know that you can earn rewards points simply by using your USU Credit Union Debit Card? Similar to a credit card rewards program, our Debit Rewards feature a wide variety of reward choices for you simply for using your card as you normally would- at gas stations, grocery stores, or even paying your monthly bills.

You earn one point for every $4 spent on signature-based transactions. These types of transactions require, of course, your signature rather than your 4-digit PIN. Cashiers often ask if you are running your card as debit or credit. Choosing credit not only ensures you receive rewards points for your purchases, it also ensures your purchases are more secure.

If you choose debit and verify your transaction with a PIN number, you will be entering this PIN in a public setting, with customers, employees, and cameras all around. Keep in mind that this is the same four-digit number you use to withdraw your cash from an ATM. Many people also use their PIN number as access to other private information. It is important that you keep your PIN safe from wandering eyes.

Debit Rewards are a great perk for our members just making their everyday purchases. Follow this link to create an account so you can benefit from your Debit Rewards today!
