The person referring (“Member”) must have a Common Cents Credit Union (CCCU) Savings and Checking account and complete the form with all required information. Member is defined as the primary member on their CCCU account. All of the Member’s CCCU accounts must be in good standing to be eligible for participation in the Program. If Member should cease to be a CCCU member or fall out of good standing before reward(s) is/are paid, the Member will not be eligible to receive reward(s). Member shall not be a joint owner on Referral’s accounts. Program is not valid in combination with any other offer, or for employees of Common Cents Credit Union, its affiliates and their families.
The person being referred (“Referral”) must meet the following criteria to qualify for participation in the Program:

• ~Be a NEW member to Common Cents Credit Union
• ~Must open own individual CCCU Savings and Checking accounts and not merely be added as a Joint Member on a member’s account

• ~Maintain all CCCU accounts in good standing through the time of reward distribution

The Refer-A-Friend Program form is available at any Common Cents Credit Union location or online at www.CommonCentsCU.com

~Referral’s accounts are reviewed after first 90 days of CCCU membership. After 90 days, the Referral’s account is reviewed to ensure Program reward eligibility. Within thirty (30) days of account eligibility review, if Member and Referral have met all criteria, Member and Referral are awarded a credit valued at $25.00 USD to their respective Savings account. The reward will be deposited into the member’s Savings account for each qualified Referral that meets the conditions listed above. There is a limit of ten (10) eligible referrals and $250.00 USD in referral rewards per Member per calendar year. If all conditions are met only one reward will be issued for each Referral based on the name of the Member on the referral form (in case multiple referral forms are submitted, the one with the earliest date will be rewarded).

~In order for Member and Referral to receive reward, both Member and Referral must remain members of Common Cents Credit Union and all of their respective accounts must remain in good standing through the time of distribution.

~Two (2) business days after account opening, the “Referral” becomes eligible to refer other individuals for the Program. In this case, the “Referral” would become known as the “Member” and the person being referred would be known as “Referral”. Above rules and limitations remain applicable and relevant to the Program and its process.
