How to earn Rewards:

These are simple.  Each month, if you meet both Rewards requirements2, you earn your High Yield or Cash Back Reward:

  1. $500 in qualifying direct deposits into your Rewards checking account
  2. 15 or more qualifying TruWest rewards debit or credit card transactions

Every month is a new chance to earn! Look for the Rewards Checking Tracker in your online banking account to keep track of your progress each month.
