What is ScoreCard Rewards?
ScoreCard Rewards is a rewards program offering Points for qualifying purchases. Points can be redeemed for a variety of items, such as merchandise, airfare, hotels, travel packages, and more (each, an “award”).
How do I log in to the ScoreCard Rewards website?
On your first visit to the site https://www.scorecardrewards.com, you will need to set up your profile with a username and password. You will also be asked to set up some security question and answers for password retrieval. Once you create your profile you will log in with your username and password. You may browse the rewards site by clicking on the “Browse Catalog” link from the log in page. Point balance and redemption capabilities are not available in the browse feature of the site.
How do I know how many Points I have?
Point balances are always available on https://www.scorecardrewards.com or you may call Award Headquarters at (800) 854-0790 to verify your balance.
How do I earn Points?
Simply use your ScoreCard Rewards participating card, each a “rewards card”, for your purchases. You will earn Points based on your qualifying net purchases (purchases minus returns and/or other related credits). You will earn Points as long as your account is in good standing (that is, not delinquent, in default, closed, canceled, blocked, suspended or otherwise inactive and not available for use as a source of funding). You do not earn Points for cash advances, balance transfers, unauthorized or fraudulent charges or for fees of any kind on your card account. Credits to your Account (such as for returns of purchases) will reduce the Points available in your account.
If I don’t have enough Points for the award I want, can I buy the extra Points I need?
No. A sufficient number of Points must be available in your account to redeem the award you want. Points are not available for purchase.
When can I order awards?
You may order awards anytime during the Program as long as your account is in good standing (that is, not delinquent, in default, closed, canceled, blocked, suspended or otherwise inactive and not available for use as a source of funding) and you have enough Points to redeem the requested award.
How do I order awards?
For merchandise awards you can order merchandise awards using the online shopping feature at https://www.scorecardrewards.com. You can also call customer service at (800)854-0790. You may also print an order form from https://www.scorecardrewards.com. Simply complete the form, including all information requested, and mail to the address printed on the form. Travel awards, airline tickets, vacation packages, and cruises may be ordered by calling and speaking with a Travel Services Representative. You may also use the online travel booking site to obtain select air awards. In addition, you may purchase additional airline tickets and make car and hotel reservations online. If you prefer, Travel Services Representatives can assist with booking both purchased as well as redeemed awards travel items.
Whom should I contact if I have questions regarding redeeming Points under the ScoreCard Rewards Program?

Merchandise Rewards
If I order more than one item, will they be shipped together?
We cannot guarantee that items will be shipped together. You may receive several shipments to
complete your order.
What if the item I order is not available?
Sometimes ordered items are on backorder with the manufacturer. If the backorder is for a short
period, such as for no more than a couple of weeks, we will notify you of your backorder status and ship
the item once it is again available to us. If the backorder status is going to be longer, we may contact you
to allow you to select an alternate award or you may elect to cancel your order and have the Points added
back to your rewards account.
For merchandise redemptions, how long after I place my order should I expect to receive the ordered items?
Generally, merchandise awards will be shipped from Award Headquarters via a parcel delivery service
or by the U.S. Postal Service and should arrive no more than 4-6 weeks after your order is received.
Some items may be shipped directly from the manufacturer. You will be notified if there is a delay in filling
your order. Please note that shipments cannot be made to a post office box or outside the United States
and eligible territories. If you have an APO address, please contact ScoreCard Award Headquarters for
details regarding merchandise options and shipments before ordering.
What happens if my merchandise award arrives damaged?
Please check your packages closely for any apparent damage before signing to accept a package. If
there is damage, please write a note on the delivery receipt before signing to accept the package. If after
you open the package you find the merchandise is damaged, please follow the directions on the packing
slip included with your shipment and notify Award Headquarters. You will be given instructions and a
return authorization number to return the merchandise for replacement. Merchandise that is received
damaged or defective may be returned within thirty (30) days of receipt for replacement. Please refer to
your Terms, Conditions and Program Rules for additional requirements.
What is the merchandise award return policy?
Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. We want to make sure that your experience is the best possible.
If you are not satisfied for any reason, simply return within 30 days of receipt. Please obtain a return
authorization number and shipping information from ScoreCard Rewards Award Headquarters by calling
(800) 854-0790. Please be sure to enclose all original packing materials when returning the award. We
will issue a replacement or refund Points upon our receipt of the returned item. When mailing inquiries to
ScoreCard Rewards Award Headquarters, please include the following information: card number, name,
complete address, daytime and evening telephone numbers, e-mail address and the item number in
question.
Note: Always notify ScoreCard Rewards Award Headquarters of any damages or missing
components. Please indicate a daytime and evening phone number and email address.
Will I be able to use any applicable manufacturer warranties for my redemption(s)?
Most merchandise is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. Please retain your packing slip as proof of purchase. For extended warranties or product specific inquiries or repair, you may call the manufacturer directly.
Where can I get a complete list of available merchandise awards?
The ScoreCard Rewards Program has a complete list at https://www.scorecardrewards.com.
Travel Rewards
Can I purchase a ticket for a companion?
Yes you may. A transaction fee may apply.
Must I fly on only a single airline?
No. We book partnering airlines. Most of the smaller commuter airlines have an agreement with a regional airline or a national carrier to “code share”. You can fly anywhere a single code share partner flies, but cannot transfer to another airline. So if the commuter flight you fly on is a code share ticket with United, then you can fly wherever United flies but not to a city not served by United.
How do I make an airline, hotel, cruise, rental car and/or vacation package reservation?
Select airline reservations may be made online, once logged in, via the Program web site, https://www.scorecardrewards.com. All airline travel awards may also be redeemed by calling a toll free phone number. Travel Services Representatives can also book reservations for your companions, which can be paid for with your rewards card. Similarly, you can also book cruises at this number as well as vacation packages, rental cars and hotels. Any purchase amounts or reservations may be made with your rewards card.
Can I change or return my airline ticket if my plans change after the ticket is issued?
You may not return an issued ticket purchased using your airline travel award options through Travel Services, but you may contact the airline directly for changes. Any change is subject to the rules and regulations of the particular airline and is subject to the change fees and penalties they may impose, if any.
Can I purchase airline tickets or other travel items from Travel Services without using my Points?
Yes. Travel Services can assist in booking your purchase or redeemed travel needs.
Can I book my travel online?
Yes, most travel can be booked online at https://www.scorecardrewards.com. In addition, you can purchase companion airline tickets and hotel/car reservations.
What are some travel tips to make sure I have the best possible travel experience?
Today’s travel industry can be hectic and overwhelming. In an effort to minimize travel related issues, utilize some of these suggestions:
- Book as far in advance as possible.
- Be flexible with your dates.
- When possible, travel during “off-peak” times – seasonal as well as day of the week.
- Before redeeming your Points for airline tickets, continue to check the ScoreCard Rewards website or with Travel Services for your desired travel dates. Airlines change seat availability throughout the day.
- At the time of redeeming your Points, have several airline ticket award options available – your primary choice is the Universal Ticket. If this is not available there are other ticket options from which to choose.
- Check in early, utilizing “online check-in” when possible.
- Arrive early to the airport on the day of your flight.
- Understand the airline’s cancellation policy in the event you should have to cancel a trip. Travel Services offers nonrefundable tickets. Any canceled trips are subject to the individual airline’s cancellation policy.
- Visit the Transportation Security Administration (www.tsa.gov) website for up-to-date travel information and restrictions.
