Credit Union Launches Rewards Program Providing more than $1 million in Annual Rewards

Community Choice Credit Union, serving eight counties in Michigan, announced the launch of an innovative member rewards program that gives back to members for making the Credit Union their primary financial institution. The new program, called GetBigReward$, provides monthly credits to Emerald and Gold Level members which can be used to offset potential fees. Any remaining credits will be refunded annually and can be used for savings or withdrawn.

 “GetBigReward$ provides great value for our members and eligible members who in the first month collectively got more than $86,000 in credits from Community Choice,” said Robert Bava, President & CEO of Community Choice Credit Union. “Now, eligible members have the opportunity to earn monthly reward credits, plus receive an annual loan interest rebate while enjoying a full-selection of financial products backed by outstanding service.”

In addition to up to $108 in annual credits, the Credit Union’s GetBigReward$ program also offers members up to a 10 percent annual loan rebate on interest paid on qualified Community Choice loans. The rebate, combined with annual rewards credits, distinguishes the Credit Union’s program as being one of the most generous among financial institutions in the United States. Community Choice anticipates the total in credits and rebates to be well over a million dollars annually.

 “GetBigReward$ has been in the planning stage for more than a year,” said Dan Munro, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer. “We developed a program that is truly innovative and rewards member-owners for full participation in their financial cooperative. Community Choice provides complete financial care for members in all stages of life. With more than 20 products and services to choose from, it’s easy to be actively engaged with eight to be at the Emerald level and receive a $108 annual reward credit. Free electronic services like e-Banking, Mobile Banking, e-Statements and e-Pay can get members to the top tier very quickly when added to financial staples like savings, checking, debit and credit cards.”
