CashAnytime® Debit Card
SACU provides you with a free Cash
Anytime or Spurs debit card when you open any SACU checking account. You can enjoy easy access to your funds with your SACU debit cards at a network of more than 100 ATMs in the San Antonio and Houston areas and through millions of MasterCard merchants worldwide. You can also take advantage of our debit card rewards program free of annual fees. Use the card for everyday retail purchases and you will automatically earn one bonus point for every $2 spent. Use sign-based transactions on your purchase rather than PIN-based transactions to earn the points, which can easily be tracked and redeemed for program gift awards by visiting
www.scorecardrewards.com.
With an SACU Alamo MasterCard
® and an SACU debit card, you get the opportunity to earn twice as many bonus points and have the option to redeem the points for cash-back. The cash-back rebate earnings are calculated on a tiered structure of eligible credits — one point for every $2.00 spent.
Important: Preventing fraudulent activity on your debit card.
SACU has a Web-based tool,
TranBlocker, which allows us to block or unblock debit card transactions originating in countries where the incidence of fraud is high. SACU members are now able to use their SACU debit cards internationally in all foreign countries when conducting a pinned transaction at an ATM or when making a purchase from a merchant using a pin number.
In the event your debit card is denied while conducting an international transaction or for more information, please call our Member Service Center Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central Time at (210) 258-1234 or U.S. toll free at 1-800-688-SACU (7228).
