To: k2gkk@hotmail.com<BR>> <BR>> P/D/C Brian Logan, SN<BR>> The
credit card program is last mentioned in the OCOM minutes September <BR>>
2004. The Members Benefits page is where I looked next link is below. Chase
<BR>> Banks is who they list but I could not find the reward to squadron.
It <BR>> appears the Operations Manual has an opportunity for
improvement.<BR>>

Does anyone know the current details of USPS Credit <BR>> Cardprogram
?<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> A few years ago, past treasure John Alter was
working on a credit card <BR>> program that would give squadrons a fairly
large amount - say $50 - when a <BR>> member signed up for an affinity
credit card and the card was actually used. <BR>> We would like to use it
to raise funds for our squadron.<BR>> <BR>> I can't find reference to
that program on USPS web site - I found this in <BR>> Operations Manual, p
3-19, dated 5/08:<BR>> <BR>> "The USPS credit card program offers
a<BR>> unique "Squadron" Visa card to members at no<BR>> annual charge.
Interest rates and other charges are<BR>> regularly monitored to assure
they are competitive.<BR>> USPS enjoys a negotiated royalty from
charges<BR>> made on the card and splits these payments 50-50<BR>> with
the purchaser's squadron, making this<BR>> particularly attractive to
squadrons. Districts also<BR>> share in this financial revenue from this
program.<BR>> The program is promoted by First USA Bank,<BR>>
Wilmington, Delaware. First USA may be reached<BR>> at (800)
955-8010."<BR>> <BR>> Does anyone know what the current program
is?<BR>> <BR>> Thanks!<BR>> <BR>> P/D/C Brian Logan, SN<BR>>
