II. Earnings Points
- Cardholders will earn Points for qualified transactions made at participating merchants using their Rewards Card (“Qualifying Transactions”).
- Points will be accumulated at the rate of:
- 1.5 points per every one (1) dollars of each Qualifying Transaction using Cardholder's enrolled
credit card.
- Points accumulated for other banking relationships, products or services are determined at the sole discretion of the Sponsor.
- Point earnings are based on the net retail purchase transaction volume (i.e., purchases less credits, returns and adjustments) charged to the Rewards Card during each day by the Cardholder. Net purchases are rounded to the nearest dollar and are subject to verification. If a transaction is subject to a billing dispute, the point value of the transaction may be deducted from the point total during the dispute period. If the transaction is reinstated, points will be reinstated.
- Merchant Funded Points (AMPRE). Cardholders can earn additional Points from participating merchants when using their Rewards card for purchases at participating AMPRE merchants, both online and in-store. Point earnings will vary based upon the merchant. Each merchant's Point earning ratio is listed on the Program's website.
By providing your email address when you register on the Rewards website, you can agree to receive all future AMPRE correspondence and notices electronically to that email address. Email is the primary method for contacting Cardholders regarding their participation in the Program. It is the Cardholder's responsibility to update or change the email address on file. This can be done on the Program's website. New merchant offers are updated periodically. There is not a limit to the number of times a Cardholder can earn Points for shopping at an AMPRE merchant.

- Payments by credit card will appear on your monthly card statement as “CL *Trip Charges” or as a charge from the applicable travel provider (each, a “Supplier” and collectively, “Suppliers”).

- If you receive a receipt from the individual Supplier, the amount we charge you may differ from the amount shown on the individual receipt, but the amount we charge you will be the amount you agreed to pay at the time of the transaction. If the amount shown on the receipt given by the individual Supplier is higher, you will not be required to pay the difference and if the amount is lower you will not receive a refund for the difference, which is retained by Loyalty Travel Agency as compensation for services.
- Inventory and pricing available from Travel Services are presented in real time and reflect what is available to Travel Services at the time of your search.

- All bookings made by Travel Services shall comply with all applicable U.S. laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, sanctions issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
