REMINDER: Pentagon Federal Credit Card Offers Cash-back to Members

The Pentagon Federal Credit Union now offers membership to Auxiliarists.
Steven M. Budar, CGAuxA Chairman/CEO and Fran k R. Pollack, PFCU
President/CEO announced this opportunity to Auxiliary members in a mailing
during December 2006.  The agreement includes allowing members to obtain a
special Auxiliary VISA Platinum Cash Rewards credit card that provides 1%
cash back to you-paid monthly as well as 0.25% going to the organization to
support Auxiliary programs.  The card was recently upgraded to also include
5% cash back on gasoline purchases made at the pump using the credit card .
There is no annual fee for this credit card.  Joining the Pentagon Federal
Credit Union opens the door to all their superior-rated financial services.
The previous agreement with MBNA-BOA for providing members an Auxiliary
credit card expired .  Members who wish to retain that card may do so but
MBNA-BOA no longer provides financial support to the organization in
supporting Auxiliary programs .  You may cancel your card through MBNA-BOA
if desired.
