Say Bye to Your Balance

Kiss Your Credit Card Balance Goodbye

Every credit card transaction is a chance for you to get rid of your credit card balance!

With every purchase you make on your Northwest Community Credit Union credit card, you’ll earn an entry for our drawing—several lucky winners will get their credit card balance paid off every month until the end of the year!*

And if you transfer balances to your NWCU credit card, each balance transfer counts as two entries!

Winners Every Month!

We'll draw two winners in October and November, and four winners in December!

If you've won, we'll pay off your NWCU credit card balance up to $5,000. We'll give you a call to let you know you're a winner!

To enter, use any NWCU credit card (though business credit cards are not eligible). That includes:

  • Northwest Visa
  • Shared Secured Visa
  • Platinum Northwest Rewards Visa
  • Home Equity Rewards Visas
  • Gold Visa
  • Classic Visa

If you win without a transaction and have a NWCU Visa, we will credit your Visa account to pay off your balance as of the end of the month that we received the post card, up to $5,000. If you win without a transaction and do not have a NWCU Visa we will deposit $50 into your member share account. If you have a Visa account and it has a $0 balance on the last day of the month, you will receive NO FUNDS.
PRIZES: A random drawing will occur on the last day of each month of the promotion from entries received during that month. Each month is considered a new drawing pool.

Two winners will be chosen in October, two winners will be chosen in November, and four winners will be chosen in December.
