Community Rewards

November 1, 2008

The New Mexico Federal Credit Union has teamed up with a few community organizations to raise money for the community. The way it works is by using your Visa check card obtained through the bank (NMEFCU). Everytime you use the card as a credit card, 1% of that purchase will be given to the community of your choice. There are three to choose from, education being one of them. At the end of the rewards year, 1% is given to that community and the same amount is given to you as well. So you BOTH benefit. Actuallly, triple benefit since the bank is making money off you using your card as well!

How can you maxamize your earnings? Well, for one, whenever using your card, be sure to run it as credit, not as debit. Second, use it for purchases you’d normally use cash. Instead of paying in cash for gas at the pump, use your card, stay next to your car and earn some money back on all that gas you are buying at high rates. Deposit your money in your account instead and live by your card. Sometimes it just makes things so much simpler. AND you have the added benefit of getting some money back and helping out your community.

If you don’t have this bank, look at your local bank for any similar benefits. You never know what you could be missing out on!
