Family First Federal Credit Union to Offer Double Rewards Points on Its VISA® Credit Card

Members Can Earn Double Rewards Points on Everyday Purchases Made During the Holidays

OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the holidays fast approaching and prices skyrocketing for ordinary purchases like food, clothing and fuel, many consumers are looking for ways to make their dollars stretch further. Family First Federal Credit Union is hoping to put more money in its members’ wallets this year by offering double rewards points on purchases made with a Family First VISA credit card during Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2008.

“This is a great opportunity for card holders to not only earn double rewards points on holiday shopping but also on everyday purchases such as supermarkets, gas stations and drug stores”

“This is a great opportunity for card holders to not only earn double rewards points on holiday shopping but also on everyday purchases such as supermarkets, gas stations and drug stores,” said Jennifer Stoddard, associate vice president of member services. “Credit card rewards can be an excellent reason for using your credit card and, if used wisely, can put cash back into your pocket.”

Family First is encouraging its members to stay within their monthly budget when using their rewards cards. Members should earn points responsibly and pay off their credit card every month. This will help avoid any interest charges and will get members into the habit of maintaining a monthly budget.

To get the most money back, members should consider charging everyday monthly expenses to their credit card. All of your regular bills (that you pay anyway) such as utilities, telephone, cable or satellite TV, Internet, food and gas. If a member’s household expenses come to $5,000 per month, members could earn $50.00 cash back per month. That comes to $600 a year, which can be very beneficial during these tough economic times.

To apply for a Family First VISA credit card, visit any of the credit union branches throughout Utah County or call 801-255-6020.
