  • Rewards PROGRAMS You may have selected a Rewards Program for your account or, if you selected a Popular / AAdvantage® card, then the terms of the AAdvantage® Program apply. REWARDS PROGRAM WHAT IT MEANS HOW IT AFFECTS YOU Return A rewards program that earns cash back per every purchase made with the Card. The reward program accumulates in cash 1% of all net Purchases made with your credit Card. Net Purchases are Purchases minus any credits or returns. In your billing statement, you will receive an estimate of the Reward accumulated. The redemption of money will be automatic and will occur once a year, in January. You will not be able to redeem your Reward before this date. The Bank will send you a check for the balance of your Reward to the address where you receive your billing statements. You will not accumulate Rewards for Balance Transfers, Convenience Checks, Cash Advances, payments thru TelePago® Popular or Internet Banking, the Purchase of casino chips or other methods of gambling, or any other transaction the Bank determines at its sole discretion constitutes or is equivalent to a Cash Advance. If you return merchandise, the Reward for that merchandise will be deducted. The percent of the deduction will be calculated based on the earning structure at the moment the merchandise was returned. If the amount of your Reward is less than ten (10) dollars at the automatic redemption period, you will not receive a check but it will accumulate to your account for the next redemption period. If your account has a derogative condition, the Bank will be able to retain your Reward until the condition ends or cancel the Reward completely, at the Bank's sole discretion. When calculating the Reward, the Bank will use the total dollar amount of each transaction eliminating the cents. The Bank's determination of the Reward is final. To receive the Reward, your account must be kept open until the date of the Reward payment. The cash back rewards program is subject to changes or cancellation at any moment at the Bank's sole discretion. American Airlines AAdvantage® Program A rewards program that earns miles.
