One local credit union is spreading holiday cheer early this year by gifting its members a little extra spending money, just in time for the holiday season.  Thanks to its credit card rewards, Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union (RBFCU) recently returned more than $2.9 million in cash to its members.
 
All year long members have been earning cash back rewards on purchases made using their Gold CashBack or Platinum CashBack Rewards MasterCard® credit cards, and now it’s paying off.  Since the reward cards’ inception in 1994, RBFCU has given more than $42 million back to members in cash back rebates.
 
"Our card program gives us the opportunity to reward our members for their loyalty while helping them to save money and earn money,” said Mary O'Rourke, chief of staff for RBFCU. “Members benefit from low interest rate payments, while earning cash back on the purchases they make.  We’re happy to make this disbursement to our members for the upcoming holiday season, so they can also give back to their families and the community.”
 
The MasterCard credit card rewards program is just one facet of RBFCU's member giveback offerings. In February, the credit union rewarded its members with more than $10 million in cash back for using its debit card. Since the debit card program was launched in 2007, members have received more than $56 million in rewards, in addition to those disbursed through the MasterCard program.
