What about my Rewards?

We got you. Your currently earned rewards are safe and you’ll continue earning even better rewards with our new Community Financial credit cards. That said, to give you new features and an even better experience, there will be a short blackout period for the Mastercard™ rewards program. Here are some important things to know ahead of time: 

  • Good news! Members will continue earning points during this time. 
  • However, points will not be able to be redeemed from May 14, 2024 to mid-July, 2024.

Change can be grizzly. Bear with us.

As we rollout great new services and features for your awesome new credit card, some of current services may be temporarily unavailable. We hope it doesn’t cause you too much of an inconvenience, which is just another reason why we’re thanking you with the new card activation bonus mentioned above. Please keep an eye out for possible interruptions: 

  • Digital banking features connected to credit cards, such as payments, will not be available for use 5/16 thru 5/19. We expect these services to be available again on 5/20.
  • Starting 5/16, draw pay will no longer be available as a digital service. Draw pay will only be available at ATM or branch going forward.
  • We will not be able to provide instant issue credit cards during the week prior to activation. In case of lost, stolen or new cards (or any account changes) members will receive their card via 2-day shipping by 5/23.
  • If you have made a purchase on your old card before 5/19 that you would like to return on 5/19 or later, please ask the merchant to make the return to your new card. Your old card will no longer be available.

We're here for you!
