Summer rewards are heating up

*New member offers are managed by Cashback+ within Digital Banking. To qualify for an offer’s reward, each offer must be activated and completed within the eligibility period. The eligibility period begins on the date of membership enrollment and continues through the end of the third full calendar month. For example, if membership begins on January 31, offers remain valid through April 30 (90 days). If membership begins on January 1, offers are valid through April 30 (120 days). The expiration of each offer is clearly displayed within CashBack+. Each offer is earned independently. Completion of all offers is not required to receive an individual reward. Any activity after the eligibility period ends will not qualify. All offers, requirements, and rewards are subject to change without notice. 

Rewards will typically be credited to the member’s Cashback+ wallet on the 3rd business day after the end of the month in which all offer requirements were fulfilled, but no later than the 5th business day. For example, if an offer is activated and the requirement is met on January 15 then the reward will be credited no later than February 5. If an offer is activated and the requirement is met on January 31, then the reward will be credited no later than February 5. The new membership account(s) must be open, active, and in good standing at the time rewards are credited in order to receive the reward. Cashback+ balances can be redeemed or transferred to a Stanford FCU account via Digital Banking. 

New member offers are not available to existing members or Stanford FCU employees. New member offers are limited to one per member and are not applicable to additionally opened or joint accounts. No offer may be combined with any other Stanford FCU promotion. Any taxes owed on earned rewards are the sole responsibility of the recipient. Stanford FCU will report rewards to applicable state and federal agencies as required by law. Membership eligibility and a valid U.S. phone number are required.

Effective 1/08/2026

**Loyalty+ is a program available to consumer (not business) members of Stanford Federal Credit Union (“Stanford FCU”). All features, requirements and offers are subject to change without notice at the sole discretion of Stanford FCU. Through this program members can qualify for available discounts, bonuses, and other rewards as described below. In order to qualify, a member must have an active spending (checking) account with their Stanford FCU membership in good standing. Each member’s membership status; Classic, Partner, or Ambassador, is subject to change each month based on whether they meet the requirements the previous month. After close of business at the end of each calendar month, the member’s accounts, balances and transactions will be auto-reviewed to determine the membership status for the next month. 

Members may view their current Loyalty+ status in Digital Banking.

Joint account holders may meet the Loyalty+ requirements based on their shared accounts, however since rewards are applied at the account level, not the person level, a joint account holder must be a tax-reported owner on at least one deposit account to receive rewards.

Requirements
To qualify for an Ambassador or Partner membership status you must have a Stanford FCU checking (spending) account, plus one of the following:

• A minimum $2,500 monthly payroll or $1,250 Social Security direct deposit or 
• A minimum $1,000 in monthly debit card purchases

Direct deposit is defined as recurring ACH payments from your employer. Other deposits such as checks, transfers, Venmo, Zelle^® and PayPal do not qualify.

Ambassador status also requires two (2) additional Key Qualifiers listed below and Partner status requires one (1) additional Key Qualifier:

• Debit card with a minimum 20 debit card purchases per month
• Credit card with a minimum $2,500 monthly balance or $500 monthly purchases
• Vehicle or fixed-rate personal loan 
• Investment account with Stanford Federal Investment Services (minimum $50,000 combined investment balances)
• Deposit accounts with combined balances of $25,000 (includes all savings, checking/spending, money market and IRA savings accounts, excludes certificates and business accounts)
• Second mortgage and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) (combined balances of $10,000 to $49,999 = 1 Key Qualifier; combined balances greater than $49,999 = 2 Key Qualifiers)
• First mortgage = 2 Key Qualifiers

The following rewards are available to members who are qualified Ambassadors and Partners at the time the reward is applied. Rewards are not available to business accounts and loans, trust accounts, regardless of the Loyalty+ status.

New Member Period
New members of Stanford FCU will automatically receive Ambassador status during their New Member Period. The New Member Period starts the day a new membership is opened and continues for the following three full calendar months. For example, if a member joined January 1, their rewards would last until April 30 (120 days). If a member joined on January 31, their rewards would last until April 30 (90 days).  

All Ambassador rewards described above are available to new members during their New Member Period. If a member does not qualify as an Ambassador after the New Member Period ends, any certificates with the Ambassador bonus rate will revert to the lower rate that was posted at the time the certificate was opened.
