Point Accumulation
A Cardmember will earn one point for each $1 in Net Purchases charged on his/her Advanta BusinessCard account. Net Purchases means purchases of goods and services made for business purposes with the Advanta BusinessCard while the account is in good standing by the Signing Individual or any authorized user of the account, net of any returns and credits. Net Purchases do not include, and points are not earned on, points purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, convenience checks, fees, finance charges, adjustments, or any other non-purchase transactions or charges. Any questions regarding the eligibility of a purchase will be resolved at the sole discretion of Advanta. There is no limit to the number of points a Cardmember can earn. No points are earned on transactions made during any billing cycle for which the monthly payment is not paid as agreed or in which the account is over its credit limit or otherwise in default. Points expire 36 months after they are earned.
For accounts with multiple cards, all points are earned on the Signing Individual's account. Points are not transferable, have no cash value or partial or residual value, and cannot be combined. Points will be administered according to the Program Rules established and interpreted by Advanta and the Program Administrator. Point balance information is shown on the Cardmember's monthly billing statement or is available by logging onto the Advanta Business Rewards Center at www.advanta.com.
Point Purchase
Points may be purchased in 1,000 point increments. Each 1,000 points costs $10 which will be charged directly to the Cardmember's Advanta BusinessCard account. No other method of purchase or credit card may be used to purchase points. Points purchases do not earn points, and like all transactions are subject to the account credit limit. Points purchases are irrevocable upon Advanta's authorization. Purchased points are available to be redeemed for rewards immediately upon completion of the points purchase. A Cardmember may purchase a maximum of 120,000 points in any calendar year. All purchased points are subject to all Advanta Business Rewards Program Rules applicable to points, including those concerning forfeiture and expiration.
Point Redemption
To redeem points, a Cardmember's account must be open and in good standing. Points are redeemed on a first-in, first-out basis. For accounts with multiple cards, only the Signing Individual may redeem points on the account.
