BISMARCK, N.D.–The Credit Union Association of the Dakotas has introduced a new “Member Engagement Rewards Program,” or MERP. According to the association, the program initiative amounts to $10,000 in member rebates and rewards for credit unions engaging in CUAD activities and programs, MERP has been in the works since the middle of 2015, according to CUAD.
“The CUAD Member Engagement Rewards Program provides member credit unions an opportunity to earn dues or registration rebates through their support, usage and engagement of Association (league) services, activities and initiatives,” the CUAD said. “The program includes a multitude of services that your credit union may already be taking advantage of – but now through MERP, your credit union can receive reward points for utilizing these services or through engaging with the league even further.”
Credit unions with point totals scoring in the top 30% of each asset category will receive a $500 rewards rebate to be used the following year (2017) toward league dues or conferences registrations, (up to two free Annual Summit Registrations); or they may choose to donate or gift their rebate on behalf of their credit union to the Credit Union Foundation of the Dakotas, or towards the GAC/HTH Scholarship Fund.
