Credit union service organization (CUSO) PSCU is launching the return of its Credit Union Give Back Sweepstakes that offers member organizations the chance to drive engagement and loyalty while offering their customers the chance to win prizes for card usage.
Cardholders with credit union rewards points or a cash-back card must use their rewards card a minimum of four times per week (or participate in the alternate eligibility survey) through Oct. 30 to qualify for regular drawings, according to a press release on Monday (July 11).
The rewards campaign is intended to encourage card usage, increase member engagement and loyalty, and give back to the communities where credit unions and their members live and work.
