ATLANTA– Atlanta Postal Credit Union has awarded one member more than $16,000 as the winner of an auto loan payoff promotion. APCU paid off the balance on member LuAn Hobson’s 2021 Toyota Rav4 Prime, a plug-in hybrid.
“I can’t believe I don’t have to make a car payment anymore,” said Hobson in a statement. “I own that Rav4 Prime now. I’m absolutely thrilled.”
Atlanta Postal ran its Auto Loan Payoff Sweepstakes from July 1 through Sept. 30. Any member who financed an auto loan during that time period with APCU – or Center Parc Credit Union, a division of APCU – was automatically entered to have their loan balance paid in full up to $35,000.
Members who also purchased GAP Insurance or Route 66 Extended Warranty Protection through the Credit Union received additional entries into the sweepstakes, the credit union said.
‘One Smart Lady’
According to APCU, Hobson joined the credit union in 2004 through her late mother, a retired postmaster from East Bend, N.C., who also served as mayor pro tem and a town commissioner of the small town.
“Mom was one smart lady, so I felt confident I made the right decision when she convinced me to join APCU,” said Hobson. “I am so glad I had that option as the child of a long-time postal employee, and wish she could see now just how beneficial that decision has been. When my husband and I got married a couple of years ago, we needed to refinance our house, and we thought of the credit union then also. The mortgage department made that process very easy.”
Hobson refinanced her Rav4 Prime with APCU during the promotional period and her name was randomly selected from more than 3,400 entries. As a result, the Credit Union paid off all $16,845.17 remaining on Hobson’s auto loan.
‘Thrilled to Help’
“At APCU, we’re thrilled to be able to help our members thrive financially,” said Blake Graham, president of APCU. “Given our history of serving postal workers and their families, we were proud that we were able to pay off LuAn’s vehicle – and we’d like to thank her for being a member of APCU.”
