How to earn cash back

We've made it easy to earn your rewards. Enrollments must be in place and all of the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your College Cash Back account during each monthly qualification cycle:

  • At least 1 direct deposit, ACH payment, or bill pay transaction 
  • At least 12 debit card purchases
  • Be enrolled in and log into online or mobile banking

That's it! And if for some reason you don't qualify one month, don't worry, your account is still free. Then you can get back to earning your full rewards next month.

*Qualification Information: Account transactions and activities may take one or more days to post and settle to the account and all must do so during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in order to qualify for the account's rewards. The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our credit union as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions, and purchases made with debit cards not issued by our credit union. Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning one (1) business day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one (1) business day period to the close of your current statement cycle. Reward information: When College Cash Back Checking qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, you will receive (1) 3.00% cash back on up to a total of $200.00 debt card purchases that post and settle to the account during that cycle period. A maximum of $6.00 cash back may be earned per Monthly Qualification Cycle. (2) You will also receive reimbursements up to an aggregate total of $25 (max $4.99 per single transaction) for nationwide ATM withdrawal fees imposed by other financial institutions and incurred during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in which you qualified. An ATM receipt must be presented for reimbursements of individual ATM withdrawal fees of $5.00 or higher. We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees based on estimates when the withdrawal information we receive does not identify the ATM fee. If you have not received an appropriate reimbursement, we will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive the transaction receipt within sixty (60) calendar days of the withdrawal transaction. When College Cash Back qualifications are not met, no cash back payments are made and ATM fees are not refunded. Cash back payments and ATM fee reimbursements will be credited to your College Cash Back Checking account on the last day of current statement cycle.
