Summer 2019

REWARD YOURSELF CHECKING

At Goldenwest, we strive to provide members with quality products and services that provide extraordinary value. It is this commitment that led us to create Reward Yourself Checking…a new account packed with benefits that help you earn more rewards points on Visa purchases plus save you money on loans and other services.

If your checking account is at another financial institution, consider the many advantages of switching to a Goldenwest Reward Yourself Checking account. Members who actively use their account will receive an additional 0.25% discount on auto, RV, and personal loan rates. And, there are other money-saving options such as cash, credits toward home appraisals and discounts on identity theft services. Kerry Wahlen President/CEO As a Reward Yourself Checking member, you will earn Extra Awards points at a higher rate on Visa credit and debit card purchases. What are you going to do with all of the additional points? Choose from flights, cruises, hotel stays, “bucket list” experiences, and more with our travel rebate program. If you’re looking to exchange points for goods and services, we have dozens of gift card options from major online shopping merchants and brick-and-mortar retailers.

Getting a Reward Yourself Checking account set up is quick and convenient with our new online account opening option at gwcu.org. Or, stop by any branch location where we can get your account open and instantly issue your Visa debit card in a matter of minutes! For members who want to convert their existing Goldenwest account to Reward Yourself Checking, simply call our Member Contact Center at 800-283-4550 for a quick account switch. You won’t even need to change your current account number!

Although the new Reward Yourself Checking is for personal accounts, we have not forgotten our business members. Look for a future announcement about checking options that will provide additional benefits and rewards for business owners and managers.

Our experts can assist you with a Reward Yourself Checking account, and any other financial product or service you need. We are offering special summer savings on construction loans, mortgages, and auto loans. Our Goldenwest Insurance Services agents provide significant savings on vehicle and homeowner policies. And our licensed Medicare agents are delivering timely information and options to members approaching age 65.
