3 Ways to Reward Yourself With Your Everyday Banking

When it comes to paying bills and making purchases, there are a variety of financial options. Between checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards and money transfer apps, you have a lot of ways to access your money.

While the word check is in the name – a checking account is much more than that these days. In fact, most checking accounts have nothing to do with writing checks anymore. Think of it more as a deposit and spending account— a place for your money to land while you’re deciding how and when to use it. And in some cases, you can get rewarded for your everyday banking. Here are some ways you can do just that with a checking account from Rio Grande Credit Union:

Debit card usage

You’re spending money anyway on groceries, gas, paying bills and other normal everyday expenses —why not use your debit card and earn extra points each month? With RGCU you'll earn rewards with every purchase - up to one point for every dollar spent. RGCU even combines your Visa Reward credit card purchases toward your spending – increasing your redemption power for cash, purchase rebates, gift cards, travel and merchandise!

Pay yourself first

It’s one of the most frequent—and best—pieces of financial advice we can offer our members. Yet, it’s one of the most ignored financial health practices. Look for opportunities to automate your savings through your everyday spending. It may seem small , but we promise it adds up faster than you think!

Complimentary cell phone protection

You dropped your cell phone (again), so it’s a good thing you have cell phone insurance, right? Although worthy of having, cell phone insurance can typically add anywhere between $5 - $20 more a month to your cell phone bill. Luckily, RGCU offers offer built-in cellphone protection. You simply pay your monthly cellphone bill with your debit or credit.
