Rewards update (October 2013)

We're simplifying and improving the redemption experience

• An improved online redemption experience
• Access to over 150,000 hotel and resort properties
• Choose from all major car rental companies
• Enjoy greater self-service options and travel assistance over the phone

What will be the changes to my rewards program?

• Merchandise will no longer be available as a redemption option. You'll still be able to use your card to purchase merchandise at any retailer, earn points on that transaction, and redeem points for cash to offset your purchase.
• Redemption for cruises, activities, and tours is being discontinued.
• The ability to purchase points is no longer necessary and will be removed because we have simplified the process to allow you to combine points and cash for travel redemptions.
• Statement credit redemptions are available as a Cash redemption and no longer processed in the form of Hotel or Car statement credits at the travel provider.

Don't forget: You can still redeem your points for gift cards, airfare, hotels, and car rentals — as well as deposits into a checking or savings account, or receive a credit on your next statement.
