H2: How do Westerra’s Debit and Credit Card Reward Points Work?

We offer a variety of reward earning cards and each card earns rewards a little differently. Our reward earning cards are personal Visa® debit card, personal Visa Signature® credit card, and their business counterparts the business Visa® debit card, and Business VISA® REWARDS credit card. Every card purchase earns you valuable points at a rate specific to your card type. Our personal Visa® debit card scores you 1 point for every $3 spent when you sign for your purchase, while the personal Visa Signature® credit card unlocks a generous 1.25 points per dollar spent. If you are a business owner our business debit earns 1 point for every $3 you spend when you sign for the purchase and our Business VISA® REWARDS credit card racks up 2 points for every dollar spent! With Westerra, rewards become an effortless perk, woven into your everyday spending.

H2: Avoid These Common Point Earning Mistakes

Don't let your point-earning spree turn into a fumble! Before you start earning reward points, remember these two common mistakes:

Using Your PIN: Skip the PIN, embrace the signature! While putting in your PIN might seem quicker, PIN transactions won't earn you points. So, break the habit and embrace signing for your purchases.

Letting Your Points Expire: Points are precious, so don't let them vanish! Points have a 3-year lifespan after being issued. To avoid losing them to the reward graveyard, set calendar reminders or track your point balance regularly. Better yet actively redeem your points for exciting rewards.

By steering clear of these common mistakes, you'll ensure your point-earning journey is smooth sailing!
