Navy Federal Awards Card Terms and Conditions
The following disclosures set forth your and our rights and responsibilities concerning your Navy Federal Awards Card. These Terms and Conditions are governed by Virginia law. In this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” mean the person who has received the Navy Federal Awards Card. The words “we”, “us” and “our” mean Navy Federal Credit Union. The Card is not an account, does not earn dividends, is not reloadable and is not federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
Agreement and Amendments
We agree to maintain the Card for you and to perform according to this Agreement. By signing, activating or using the Card or by permitting anyone else to use the Card, you agree to the provisions of this Agreement, which is subject to amendment, and further agree that this Agreement is binding on your successors, representatives and assigns. The Card is our property, and we reserve the right to cancel or revoke its use at any time without prior notice, subject to applicable law.
Using Your Card
Before using your Navy Federal Awards Card, you must first activate your Card by phone at 1-866-809-2679. At the time of activation, you’ll be required to select a four-digit Personal Identification Number (“PIN”). Navy Federal Awards Cards can be used in the U.S., excluding U.S. territories. You may use your Card as often as you like to obtain goods and services up to the value of the Card. Each time you use your Card, we’ll deduct the amount of the transaction from the remaining value associated with the Card. The Card is not reloadable and cannot be used after its value reaches zero. If you use your Card for more than its available value, you agree to pay us the difference upon demand. We recommend checking the balance of your Card before using it. In order to make purchases online or over the phone, the Card must first be registered with a name, address and phone number. We caution against using your Card at automated fuel pumps since the transaction could result in a decline or an inconvenient hold on available funds, which could last several days. Instead, we recommend prepaying for your fuel with your Card at the cashier. Navy Federal will authorize transactions on the available balance except under certain circumstances, such as if the Card is canceled or you attempt to use the Card in the following ways:
- For gambling or any unlawful activity
- To make regular, pre-authorized payments to third parties
- To obtain cash ATMs, cash back at the Point of Sale, Teller Cash or Quasi-Cash Transactions
- For purchases outside of the United States or in U.S. territories
You cannot place a "stop payment" on any Card transaction after it has been completed. Cardholders are NOT permitted to resell Navy Federal Awards Cards.
Card Expiration
The funds on your Navy Federal Awards Card expire with the Card. Your Awards Card expiration date is embossed on the front of the Card. You can make purchases using your Card until either you reach the expiration date shown on the Card or you’ve used the full value of the Card. We encourage you to use the entire amount before the expiration date. Any transaction attempted after the expiration date will be declined.
Severability
In the event that one or more provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or illegal, such holding will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.
