Wachovia Rewards Consumers With Visa Extras
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Wachovia's retail Check Card holders can now earn points when they use their Visa Check Card by enrolling in the Visa Extras rewards program.
"In the past, many customers have enjoyed rewards for their credit card purchases," said Jeanine Tabaczynski, director of Access Services for Wachovia. "Today, consumers have even more ways to earn rewards. Visa Extras lets Wachovia customers earn rewards for every dollar they spend with their Check Card when they sign for the purchase, rather than using cash or checks."
With Visa Extras, Check Card users earn points for everyday purchases, including gas, groceries, clothes, prescriptions, meals and entertainment. Cardholders earn one Visa Extras point for every $1 in qualifying purchases. These points can be redeemed for rewards such as gift cards and certificates for restaurants, hotel stays, rental cars and online and national retailers. Wachovia customers with a Visa Check Card can enroll in Visa Extras at www.wachovia.com/visaextras.
Wachovia's Check Card combines the flexibility of ATM access with the purchasing power of Visa. There is no monthly fee, and customers are protected by Visa's Zero Liability policy if their cards are ever lost or stolen.
"The Check Card helps our customers make purchases conveniently from their checking accounts at the point-of-sale," Tabaczynski said. "We are proud to partner with Visa to reward our customers for their loyalty."
Wachovia has offered Visa Extras for its business customers since November 2003.
