You are wholly responsible for the use of each Card according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
You may not request an additional number associated with this Card for another person.
You may not use your Card to obtain cash from an Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”), Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device, or by any other means.
Your Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card is non-reloadable. You may obtain the value of your Card, by calling 1-800-995-3065 or visiting www.Awards2Go.net. The minimum amount of the initial load is $5.00. The maximum amount of the initial value load is $1,000.00. You will have access to your funds upon receipt of the Card.
The maximum amount that can be spent from your Card per day is the balance of the Card Account. The maximum value of your Card is restricted to $1000.00. You may use your Card to obtain goods or services only in the U.S. and District of Columbia online, by mail or telephone wherever Visa® debit cards or NYCE® cards are accepted as long as you do not
exceed the value available in your Card. The Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card may not be used outside of the U.S. and District of Columbia including online and mail or telephone orders if the merchant is outside of the U.S. Some merchants do not allow split transactions where you would use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and remit the remainder of the balance with another form of payment. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available in your Card Account to the Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction your transaction is likely to be declined.
If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make with your Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card. Your Account cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use your Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card for online gambling or any illegal transaction.
Each time you use your Awards2Go Visa Prepaid Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount on your Card through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees.
With certain types of purchases (such as those made at restaurants, hotels, gas stations when you “pay at the pump”, or similar purchases), your Card may be “preauthorized” for an amount greater than the transaction amount to cover gratuity or incidental expenses. Any preauthorization amount will place a “hold” on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. During this time, you will not have access to preauthorized amounts. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds. We will only charge your Card Account for the correct amount of the final transaction, however, and will release the hold on any excess amount when the transaction finally settles. You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of your Account. You may not make preauthorized regular payments from your Card Account.
It is recommended that you register your Card. To register your Card, go to www.Awards2Go.net.
