RIVERSIDE, CA (April 22, 2013) – Teresa Flores is the latest member to win $500 from Altura Credit Union. She was entered to win by simply using her Altura Credit Union Visa® Debit Card to make a purchase.
Altura’s “You’re Gonna Love This Card!” promotion was created to spread the word about the convenience of using its debit card for everyday purchases. Every time an Altura Credit Union Member makes a purchase using their Altura Debit Card they areentered for a chance to win a $500 cash prize. The more a Member swipes a card for purchases, the more times they are entered to win. One winner will be drawn each month through December.
Flores, of Riverside, was the winner for March. It took a lot of convincing for Flores to believe she won the cash when contacted by Altura. She was sure it had to be a prank. But once she realized it was true, she began to cry saying that this win couldn’t come at a better time. Her family had been dealing with a recent crisis, and the prize money came at the right time. An Altura member for five years, Flores said she will pay some bills and keep a little to “spoil” herself and her husband.
To be eligible for this promotion, members need an Altura Visa Debit Card and a checking account. They also must register their card through Altura’s website to participate in the promotion.
