Card Issuance: Your Shaw Rewards Card is a Visa® backed Stored
Value Card and not a credit card. Your card will be issued on or around the
first 10 business days of the following calendar month after you have tracked
your invoices AND reached the minimum point balance stated. Cards will be
funded and/or issued on or around the first 10 business days of each month
throughout the program period. Funds will not be issued for cancelled, returned
or replacement orders. Once issued, your Shaw Rewards Card will be your Reward
Card for Shaw Rewards through the expiration date on the card, unless otherwise noted. Do not destroy or discard your
card once you have spent your funds. Your card will be valid for 36 months from
date of issue and will be reloaded with your earnings on a monthly basis
throughout the program period.
Earning Points: All qualifying sales of yards tracked will earn
points at the rate of 1 yard = 20 points for Anso Nylon styles, or 1 yard = 15
points for Evertouch Nylon styles, or 1 yard = 10 points for Cleartouch Nylon styles. See the style list for the list of qualifying styles and
their payouts. Each point is valued at $0.01
each. Points earned have no monetary value until your Shaw Card is funded (see
Card Issuance).
Earnings will be capped at $3000 per year according to your
registration date. After you track and receive $3000 on your debit card, you
will no longer be eligible to track invoices for the rest of your calendar
year.
Debit Card Issue: All Participants need to earn a minimum of $100
(combined between Shaw Rewards qualifying carpet, hard surface, Tuftex Color
Coordinate’s styles, Tuftex Pattern Destination
styles and Shaw Living rug styles) before a card will be issued or funds will
be loaded onto an existing debit card.
New Minimum! As of January 1st, 2010, the $100 minimum must be
earned in order to receive a card and/or funding to be received on an existing
card. This minimum must be reached every year, beginning on your Anniversary Date. This anniversary date is the date that you registered for Shaw Rewards 2010.
Example: If you reach $100 in January, you will receive
those funds on your debit card in February.
Shaw Debit Cards are issued to participants under their
FIRST AND LAST NAME. Cards WILL NOT be issued under a business or store
name. The Internal Revenue Service requires Shaw to
issue tax Form 1099 to each award recipient and will not allow registrants to
use their Federal Tax ID. Each participant must use their own SSN information
upon registration.
Lost/Stolen Cards: Shaw Rewards Cards should be treated as
cash and funds CANNOT be replaced if lost or stolen. Contact Award Headquarters
IMMEDIATELY if your card cannot be found. There is a $5.00 card fee for the
replacement of lost or stolen cards that will be deducted from the card balance
at the time of re-issuance or the next funding period.
Card Redemption: The Shaw Rewards Card is backed by Visa® and
accepted at over 28 million locations worldwide. At any time during the
program, you may redeem the funds on your Shaw Rewards Card for merchandise,
travel or services. When using your card, simply swipe and select
"credit". The purchase total will be deducted from your card balance.
Before using your card to make a purchase or payment, please check the balance
at www.ShawRewards.com and click on the "Account Status" icon. Your
transaction will not be approved unless you have sufficient funds available to
cover the entire transaction amount. Cards may not be used at ATM machines,
pay-at-the-pump gas pumps, for automatic draft services or for car rentals. Any
credits for returns will be applied back to your card. Merchants are prohibited
from giving cash back when using the card for any purchase. Card holders are
responsible for any overdrafts resulting from the use of their card, along with
any service fees that might be applicable. Additional details and restrictions
regarding the Shaw Rewards Card can be found in the Account Holder Agreement
included with your card.
International Participation: Card funds will be issued
in U.S. Dollars and currency conversions will be made at the time of
purchase/payment transaction. A conversion fee of approximately 1% of the total
purchase will be charged by the merchant and be debited from your account.
