Additional terms and conditions that apply to the Benjamin Rewards Program may be presented to you at the time of enrollment, and in which case, such additional terms and conditions shall be incorporated into and made part of the Program Terms.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to the Benjamin Rewards Program:
“Card Networks” – Visa, Mastercard and American Express (where applicable)
“Linked Card” – an eligible card that is enrolled in the Benjamin Rewards Program
“Service Providers” – the Service Provider providing Transaction Data for the Benjamin Rewards Program, including, but not limited to, GetKard
“Qualified or Qualifying Transaction” – a transaction meeting the criteria of the Benjamin Rewards Program and qualifies for rewards “Partner” or “Participating Brand” or “Merchant” – a Brand or Merchant Partner that is available and participating in the Benjamin Rewards Program and has offers available to you. The list of Partners, Participating Brands and Merchants may change from time to time, and a current list may be found in the App
How does Card Linking Work?
Please note, you can only link eligible cards, and when a card is linked/enrolled/registered, your qualified transactions will be monitored (as discussed below).
(a) Linking Your Payment Card
In order to receive cash back or rewards from us for Qualifying Transaction of goods or services from a Participating Merchant, or for referring other users to download our application (if applicable), you must link at least one eligible debit or credit card (a “Payment Card”) to your Account (once linked, it is a “Linked Card”). Please note that not all debit and credit cards are eligible to be linked to your account. All determinations as to whether a card is eligible to be a Linked Card are at our sole discretion. For example, certain Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards are not eligible to be linked to your account, including, but not limited to, the following: prepaid cards, corporate cards, purchasing cards, store cards which can only be used at their respective retailers’ stores, government-administered prepaid cards (including Electronic Benefit (EBT) cards), healthcare cards (including Health Savings Account (HSA) cards, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, and insurance prepaid cards), Visa Buxx, and cards that are not processed through the Visa U.S.A payment system, the Mastercard payment system, or the American Express payment system. In order to be eligible as a Linked Card, it must be issued by a U.S. bank. In addition, you may not be able to link a debit or credit card to your account if the card is already linked to certain other card-linked-offer programs offered by us or by third parties.
If you register a debit card, your transaction must be processed as a ‘credit’ (i.e., signature) transaction to make sure the transaction can be monitored. Do not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for your purchases with your Linked Card if you want the transaction to be available for view or action in the Benjamin Rewards Program.
Benjamin One is in the process of optimizing a number of its features for our Members and implementing a number of features designed to reduce fraud. Rewards will be subject to a maximum allowable amount (or cap) of USD $0.30 per transaction and USD $3.00 per month. These maximums may change depending on a variety of factors as determined in Benjamin One’s discretion. Benjamin One will use reasonable best efforts to update these Terms and Conditions to reflect the current maximums/caps.
(b) Use of Linked Cards and Transaction Information
By registering a Payment Card in connection with transaction monitoring, and in order to enable us to provide the Services, you authorize us to share your payment information with third-party service providers; any Card Networks (including, but not limited to, e.g., Visa, Mastercard, American Express) with which your Linked Card is affiliated; and banks, financial intermediaries, and providers of payment processing services (together the “Card-Related Parties”). In particular, you authorize the Card-Related Parties to monitor transactions on your Linked Card(s) to identify Qualifying Transactions form a Participating Merchant in order to determine whether you have qualified for or earned an offer linked to your Linked Card, and for the Card-Related Parties to share such transaction details with us to enable your card-linked offer(s) and target offers that may be of interest to you. The data collected includes your registered card identifier, merchant location, transaction date/time and amount. You agree that we and the Card-Related Parties may view transactions made by you with participating merchants. You authorize participating merchants to provide us with historical transaction data.
We may also use service providers (including but not limited to) Plaid Technologies, Inc. (“Plaid”) to monitor transactions on your Linked Card(s) as discussed above. By using the Services, you grant service providers including but not limited to us, and Plaid the right, power and authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution. You agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge that the Card Networks and Card-Related Parties may be unable to monitor every transaction made with your Linked Card, including PIN-based purchases on debit cards, purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. or MasterCard, AMEX payment systems, and that these transactions are not eligible.
For more information on how we use your Linked Card transaction information, see the “Benjamin Rewards Program” section of the Privacy Policy. You may opt-out of transaction monitoring on the Linked Card(s) you have registered by de-linking them through the Services or by terminating your account. To terminate your account and these Terms and your right to use the Services at any time and for any reason and for no reason, contact Customer Support and immediately discontinue all use of the Services. Please note that if you opt-out of transaction monitoring, certain features of the Services may not be available to you or the performance of certain features of the Services may be limited or not work at all.
Cash Back and Referral Rewards Redemptions and Minimum Rewards Level
Once you have accumulated at least Twenty-Five Dollars (US $25.00) in Rewards (as defined below) in your Benjamin Rewards Program account (the “Minimum Withdraw Amount”), you may elect to have Benjamin distribute your Rewards via one or more of the available distribution options as shown in the Benjamin App.
The available distribution options are subject to change without notice to you, in accordance with these Terms, and you have no vested right to any particular form or method of distribution. You may not redeem any Rewards, and you may not obtain any cash, money, or anything of value in exchange for your Rewards prior to reaching the Minimum Distribution Amount, or if subsequently your Rewards fall below the Minimum Distribution Amount, for as long as your Rewards remain below the Minimum Distribution Amount. For each distribution option made available by Benjamin to you through the Services, Benjamin displays to you within the Benjamin App the Minimum Distribution Amount at any given time, in which case that Minimum Distribution Amount will apply. The Minimum Distribution Amount is subject to change by Benjamin at any time. Benjamin may, at its sole discretion, limit the amount of Rewards that you can distribute in any given period of time or for any particular transaction. If you elect to close your Benjamin account and you have undistributed Rewards that meet or exceed the Minimum Distribution Amount, you will be expected to distribute such Rewards prior to closing your account, and you must distribute those Rewards even if this means you must distribute your Rewards in the payout option with the lowest minimum distribution amount. If your account is terminated by Benjamin, and if you fail to properly distribute your Rewards in accordance with these Terms when closing your account, or if at the time of closing you have less than the Minimum Distribution Amount in your account, any rights you have to the Rewards in your account will terminate and you will no longer be eligible to receive a distribution of such Rewards.
Taxes
Depending on applicable federal, state, and local tax laws, your distribution of Rewards may be subject to taxes. You will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your distribution of Rewards and you agree to provide Benjamin with information Benjamin requests in connection with applicable federal, state, and local tax laws. You are solely responsible for any tax liability (including fees, penalties, or fines) incurred by Benjamin as a result of your action or inaction in connection with the foregoing (including your failure to provide Benjamin with information). You agree that Benjamin is authorized to offset such tax liability from your Rewards.
User Rewards Generally
Benjamin may make available to you from time to time through the Services, offers on certain third-party products and services (each an “Offer”). When you transact through the Service, you will accumulate rewards in your Benjamin account (“Rewards”). Each Offer may be subject to additional terms and conditions and may be discontinued by Benjamin at any time without notice. At any time and in Benjamin’s sole discretion, Benjamin may: (i) determine whether or not you are eligible to redeem an Offer; (ii) determine whether or not you have earned Rewards; or (iii) adjust your Rewards total to accurately and fairly reflect the Rewards that you have actually earned. Benjamin may, in its sole discretion, deduct from your Benjamin account any Rewards that Benjamin determines you have not earned or you have earned in violation of these Terms. Prior to distribution, Rewards have no monetary value and you may not obtain any cash, money, or anything of value in exchange for your Rewards except as made available by Benjamin.
Rewards Ownership
Rewards provided by Benjamin are owned exclusively by Benjamin as a rebate on Benjamin Rewards Program members’ transactions. The reward balance displayed to members in their Benjamin App is a representation of the rebates funds allocated to you. Benjamin retains all rights to those funds and reserves the right to adjust the rewards balance at any time. Benjamin reserves the rights to hold or reclaim any rewards as listed in the members.
Referral Bonus:
How do I get a Referral Bonus?
Please note that there may be different types of referral bonuses available, and the specific bonus applicable to you and your referral at the time will be displayed within the app.
Referral Bonus Based on Qualifying Transactions
First, you must have an active and valid Benjamin Rewards Program account in good standing and invite someone to join the Benjamin Rewards Program using your specific referral link. Then, (1) the person you invited must create a valid account in the Benjamin Rewards Program through the use of your referral link and enter your referral code during the sign-up process within 90 days of your invitation (note that if the person does not sign up with your referral link and use your referral code, you will not be entitled to a bonus); and (2) You and your referral will each receive a referral bonus, the amount of which will be determined by Benjamin Rewards Program in its sole discretion and will be within the range of $5 to $15. The correct referral bonus amount will be visible within the app. The referral bonus will be awarded when the person you referred a) links an eligible Payment Card; and b) makes one or more Qualifying Transactions that total at least $1,000 within the first 90 days of creating a Benjamin Rewards Program account with the Linked Card. The Benjamin Rewards Program reserves the right to modify the referral bonus amount and the terms and conditions for the referral program at any time without prior notice.
Referral Bonus Based on Task Completion
In addition to, or as an alternative to, the referral bonus described in the previous section, Benjamin may, at its sole discretion, divide the referral bonus into separate tasks or milestones to be completed by you and/or the person you referred. The rules and requirements for these tasks or milestones, including but not limited to the specific tasks or milestones to be completed, the bonus amounts, and any time limitations, will be outlined within the Benjamin Rewards Program mobile app. These rules and requirements may be subject to change at any time without prior notice.
To be eligible for the referral bonus divided into tasks or milestones, both you and the person you referred must have valid and active Benjamin accounts in good standing. All tasks and milestones must be completed in accordance with the specific rules and requirements outlined within the app. The referral bonus, divided into tasks or milestones, will be awarded upon the successful completion of the required tasks or milestones, as determined by the Benjamin in its sole discretion.
The Benjamin reserves the right to modify or discontinue the referral bonus structure and amounts, including dividing it into tasks or milestones, at any time without prior notice.
The referral bonus will be paid to you and the person you referred in accordance with Benjamin’s then-current payment policies. Benjamin reserves the right to modify or terminate the referral bonus program at any time, in its sole discretion.
Please see the “Additional Terms for Bonus Programs” below for additional terms and conditions that apply to all referrals.
THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROVIDERS AND REWARDS CASH-OUT
Certain distribution options are provided by licensed money transmitters authorized by Benjamin to operate in connection with the Services (e.g., PayPal, Inc.) (“Authorized Money Transmitters”) and are subject to additional terms and conditions associated with your account with such Authorized Money Transmitter (the “Payment Provider Terms”). When you elect to distribute Rewards through an Authorized Money Transmitter, you further agree (i) that Benjamin is acting as your agent with respect to the payment processing, and (ii) that you are bound by the applicable Payment Provider Terms made available by that Authorized Money Transmitter, as such Payment Provider Terms may be modified by the Authorized Money Transmitter from time to time.
Service Credits & Returns
Rewards will be rescinded in the event that a Qualifying Transaction is refunded or cancelled for any reason. If you earn Rewards with a purchase Qualifying Transaction that is later refunded or cancelled, and you have already redeemed or withdrawn the Rewards earned for that Qualifying Transaction, Benjamin may do any combination of the following: (a) cancel the Qualifying Transaction, (b) interrupt delivery of any Rewards, gift cards, or other redeemed items (c) withhold subsequent Rewards awards, (d) refund the Qualifying Transaction amount less Rewards redeemed or withdrawn, or (e) deduct funds from your Benjamin Rewards Program account, which may result in a negative balance in your Benjamin Rewards Program account. Furthermore, Benjamin reserves the right to deduct future awards of Rewards from your Benjamin Rewards Program account to satisfy any amount you may otherwise owe Benjamin under these Terms or the Benjamin Rewards Program Terms. Alternatively, Benjamin reserves the right to suspend your account until it is brought current.
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BONUS PROGRAMS
From time to time, Benjamin may introduce special bonuses or incentives that may be available to you in connection with the Services (“Bonuses”). You will not be eligible to earn Bonuses if you invite other users who share the same mobile device or if they create multiple accounts in an effort to earn Bonuses for inviting themselves. While users are welcome to promote the referral program to their friends and family, we reserve the right to request that users remove their referral code from any public website or forum if we believe that it is being used in a way that is inconsistent with our terms and conditions. Such actions violate these Terms and shall be grounds for Benjamin to terminate your account, rescind any Bonuses, reverse or correct user Rewards balances, or take other actions as appropriate.
