RIVERSIDE, CA (July 15, 2014) -- Riverside resident Erika Estrada recently won $500 from Altura Credit Union for using her Altura Visa® Debit Card to make a purchase. The 20-year-old has been a member since 2006 when her mother opened a MyMoney youth account for her.
Estrada, who works for the local water company, now has an iChecking Account. This checking product is designed specifically for youngadults, ages 18 – 24, to help introduce them to all the concepts of financial management. The account has no monthly fee, no minimum balances, no direct deposit, but includes free online banking, bill pay, mobile banking and more.
With her 21st birthday coming up, Estrada says her prize couldn’t have come at a better time.
She won by participating in Altura’s “Better Ways to Win” promotion. Cardholders have a chance to win $500 monthly throughout 2014; Estrada won June’s drawing.
Altura members can earn additional entries each month by using their Altura Visa Debit Card to make purchases. All approved purchase transactions will count as an extra entry (All ATM transactions are excluded).
Altura membership is not necessary to enter the “Better Ways to Win” campaign. Altura members can register to participate by signing into onlinebanking, calling Member Services or visiting an Altura branch. Non-members can register by mailing a 3 x 5 card to Altura Credit Union for one entry.
At the end of 2014, the 12 monthly winners become finalists in a drawing for a brand new Audi A4. For more information about the promotion and official rules, visit Altura’s website, www.AlturaCU.com.
