Q: How will I know that I have qualified for my rewards?
A:
An email will be sent to you from Listening@powerfi.org letting you know if you receive the rewards each qualifying program cycle.

Q: Is the cycle for rewards requirements different than the cycle for my account statement?
A:
Yes, your statement reflects transactions from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. Example, August 1 and the ending date of statement period is August 31. The qualifying program cycle begins one business day before the last day of the month. Here's an example:

  • July Qualifying Cycle begins - June 30th / Cycle ends - July 30th
  • August Qualifying Cycle begins - July 31st / Cycle ends - August 28th
  • September Qualifying Cycle begins - August 29th / Cycle ends - September 29th

Q: Can I have more than one Cash Back Checking account?
A:
No, because of the great rewards the Cash Back Checking account is limited to one per member.

Q: When will I receive my rewards?
A:
If you meet the requirements each cycle, you will receive your rewards on the last day of the statement cycle.

Q: When will I receive my first rewards after opening my Cash Back Checking account?
A:
You will receive your rewards as soon as you meet the requirements! It's that simple. If your account is opened late in the month, you may not have time to meet the requirements until the following month.

Q: What if I use my debit card or pay a bill with Bill Pay and the transaction posts to my Cash Back Checking account two or three days later. Does the purchase date or the posting date count toward the requirements?
A:
The Posting Date will be the date that is used for calculating rewards. The Posting Date is the date the transaction shows up on your account history. For example, if you initiated a transaction on June 27th but it didn't appear until July 2nd, it would count as a July transaction. Most transactions post within three days but it depends on the merchant's processing system.

Q: I didn't meet the requirements during this statement cycle, can I still have a chance to qualify during the next cycle?
A:
Yes, all requirements start over at the beginning of each qualification cycle.

Q: How may I convert my current checking account to a Cash Back Checking account?
A:
All you need to do is see one of our well trained Personal Service Advisors in any branch.
