What is Local Rewards?

Midcoast FCU’s LOCAL REWARDS Visa® cardholders are rewarded for doing their part in supporting our local economy. By shopping at 200+ participating local businesses, cardholders earn triple reward points. In addition, LOCAL REWARDS Visa® cardholders enjoy enhanced rewards for certain transaction categories and other everyday purchase activity.

How it Works:

	Triple Points for Buying Local! Midcoast FCU understands the value of a diverse and thriving local economy, which is why we encourage our members to buy local with their LOCAL REWARDS Visa®. Cardholders receive triple points (3x) when using their card at local participating merchants.
	Double Points* for Gas, Groceries and Recurring Transactions! LOCAL REWARDS Visa® cardholders receive double points (2x) for using their card to purchase gasoline and groceries. Cardholders that use their LOCAL REWARDS Visa® to pay recurring bills (i.e. utilities, insurance payments, online subscriptions) also earn double points.
	Single Points for everything else! LOCAL REWARDS Visa® cardholders continue to earn single points for purchases that don’t qualify for double or triple points.

* Double points for gas, groceries and recurring transactions are determined by the merchant’s category code. Midcoast FCU does not have the ability to alter merchant information and therefore cannot guarantee double points impacted by this coding.
