Frequently Asked Questions

Save to Win is a prize-linked savings account that offers the chance to win prizes in addition to earning regular dividends. It requires a small opening deposit of $25 and allows an unlimited number of deposits during the 12-month share certificate term.

The more you save, the more opportunities you have to win (maximum of 100 entries per month).

For every $25 increase in month-over-month balance, you earn one entry into the monthly and quarterly prize drawings. There’s no minimum number of deposits required, but there’s a maximum of 100 entries per month and 300 entries per quarter per member.

In order to participate and be eligible to win prizes, the Save to Win Certificate must be open through the drawing period, and all participants must be:

  • 18 years of age or older — children can’t be primary or joint account holders on an account with a Save to Win Certificate
  • A state of Texas resident
  • A member with a Membership Savings Account in good standing

Credit union employees and board members aren’t eligible to receive prizes from the national or A+FCU-only drawings (this includes joint ownership).

A member is limited to one certificate at each participating credit union, with a minimum opening deposit of $25.

Members of the same household can have one Save to Win Certificate each, as long as they’re each primary owners on their own account and meet other eligibility requirements.

Save to Win Certificates are only available on personal accounts.

A member is limited to winning one national prize per month and one national prize per quarter. However, a member is eligible to win both a national prize and an A+FCU-only prize in the same drawing month or quarter.

Members will receive one entry in the monthly drawing for every $25 increase in month-over-month balance, up to a maximum of 100 entries per month. Each monthly entry is also entered into the quarterly prize drawing, up to a maximum of 300 entries per quarter (see example below).

Example:

  • Month 1 Drawing – $100 deposit = 4 entries
  • Month 2 Drawing – $50 deposit = 2 entries
  • Month 3 Drawing – $25 deposit = 1 entries
  • Quarterly Drawing = 7 entries total

The number of entries is based on the increase in a member’s month-over-month balance. If a member deposits $100 in a given month then withdraws that amount in the same month, the member will not receive any entries for that drawing period.

The number of entries are automatically recorded once the balance is calculated at month-end processing.

National and A+FCU-specific drawings are held on the 14th of each month and quarterly in January, April, July and October. Winners are contacted shortly after.

A+FCU will notify winners via telephone, email, and/or letter and prize winnings will be deposited into the member’s Membership Savings.

Winners who receive prize earnings that total $600 or more in a given year are required to report earnings on their next year’s tax returns and may be required to pay applicable state and federal taxes. A+FCU will send members who receive more than $600 in prizes for a given tax year a 1099-MISC form for their tax reporting purposes.

Actual odds of winning are based upon the number of eligible entries received. For each eligible entry the chance of winning monthly or quarterly prizes is equal to that of all other entries in the raffle.

The more deposits you make, the more entries you will earn toward the monthly and quarterly drawings. There’s a maximum of 100 entries per month and 300 per quarter.

Who May Enter: The Raffle is open to all natural persons who, at the time of entry (a) are Credit Union members, (b) at least 18 years of age, (c) are residents of a state in which Prize Linked Savings is permitted, and (d) who maintain a regular share account in good standing with the Credit Union (“Eligible Members”). Where permissible under applicable state law a Trust may also be considered an Eligible Member for purposes of the Raffle. Officers, directors and employees of the participating Credit Union (including joint accounts of officers, directors and employees) are not eligible to participate in the Raffle. Officers, directors and employees of any participating credit unions’ vendors, (including joint accounts of officers, directors and employees of any participating credit union’s vendors) are not eligible to participate in the Raffle. Some states may impose other eligibility requirements. Where applicable state law imposes other eligibility requirements, those eligibility requirements will control. Entries received from persons who do not meet the requirements of an Eligible Member will not be included in the Raffle.

Qualifying Save To Win Account: The Credit Union will establish a Qualifying Save To Win Account (“Qualifying Account”). A Qualifying Account may be either a share savings, share certificate or certificate of deposit depending on the account structure and offerings of the Credit Union, as determined by the Credit Union in its sole discretion. Rates and other terms and conditions of a Qualifying Account may vary among participating credit unions. Please refer to your credit union’s account disclosures for account details, any account limitations and/or applicable fees. For Washington residents only, Eligible Qualifying Share Accounts are those that are opened in a branch, by mail, by phone or by remote registration.

How to Enter: To participate in the Raffle, Eligible Members must open a Qualifying Save To Win Account with the participating Credit Union during the Raffle Period (“Participating Member”). Refer to your Credit Union’s account disclosures for any account limitations and/or applicable fees.

How Raffle Entries work: Participating Members will receive Raffle entries automatically based upon the following:

Automatic entries will be recorded by the Credit Union once the balance is calculated at month-end processing. If you qualify to open an account at different participating credit unions, you may open a Save To Win account at each credit union. You will earn entries at each institution independent of the other and subject to each individual credit union’s rules, regulations and discretion. Qualifying deposits must be received and posted by the Credit Union by midnight Central Time on the last day of each month. Automatic entries are eligible to win only during the drawing period in which they were submitted. Other than making deposits as described in these Official Rules, no other action, and no other purchase or other consideration is required for an entry into a prize drawing.

Drawings:

Prizes: All cash prizes from the Central drawings and cash prizes from the Credit Union drawings, if applicable, will be deposited into the winning Participating Member’s traditional share account or their qualified Save To Win Account, based on member’s preference. All Central drawing winning Participating Members and winners from the Credit Union drawings, if applicable, will be selected from among all Participating Members in the Raffle Drawings. Central drawings will be conducted within fourteen (14) days of the conclusion of the previous month/quarter. Central Annual Drawings will be conducted within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the previous year. Winning Participating Members will be notified via telephone, email, or standard U.S.P.S. mail. Prizes are non-transferrable. Participating Members need not be present at the drawing to win. The Credit Union will provide Participating Members winning prizes of $600 or more for the given tax year with an IRS 1099 MISC form.

Prize Eligibility: In order to be eligible to win a prize in a drawing, a Participating Member’s Qualifying Save To Win Account must be open and active through the drawing period. A Participating Member is limited to winning one Central prize per drawing period. A Participating Member is limited to winning one Credit Union prize per drawing period, if applicable. A Participating Member is eligible to win both a Central prize and a Credit Union prize in the same drawing period. If the Qualifying Account is owned by more than one individual, the primary member under whose taxpayer identification number earnings on the account would be reported to the Internal Revenue Service should such reporting be required for the account shall be deemed the Participating Member and only the Participating Member shall be eligible to win a prize. All transactions constituting Raffle entries must occur within a state in which the Raffle is permitted. The Credit Union shall confirm the Participating Member’s eligibility by verifying identity, age and certifying that all transactions constituting Raffle entries occurred within a state in which the Raffle is permitted, before the Participating Member can receive any prize.

If a Participating Member is not an Eligible Member, such Participating Member will continue to be the accountholder of the Qualifying Account, but deposits to the account will not constitute qualifying Raffle entries.

Odds: Actual odds of winning are based upon the number of eligible entries received. Each eligible entry shall have a chance of winning Central and Credit Union prizes, if applicable, that is equal to that of all other entries in the Raffle. Except for making deposits as described in these Official Rules, taking any other action, or purchasing any goods or services, will not increase the odds of winning.

Communications: A+ Federal Credit Union, which conducts the Save to Win® raffle drawings, may periodically send the Participating Members raffle related communications electronically, via email and/or text message, at any telephone number you provide to us in connection with the Raffle or your Qualifying Account, which could result in charges to you. If you have provided a wireless telephone number(s) on or in connection with any account, you represent and agree you are the wireless subscriber or customary user with respect to the wireless telephone number(s) provided and have the authority to give this consent.

Prize Administration and Research Study: Save to Win® entries and prize drawings are submitted to and conducted by CUSG, an affiliate of the Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL), a non-profit credit union trade association. The Save to Win® program is part of an ongoing research project of CUSG and Commonwealth, a Delaware nonprofit corporation whose mission is to expand access to financial services for low and moderate income families, which entails the study of information about prize-linked savings programs and savings habits of consumers. To participate in the Raffle, the Participating Member’s Taxpayer Identification Number is transmitted by the Credit Union via a secure data sharing process and then replaced with a new unique identifier by CUSG for Raffle and reporting purposes. The Participating Members’ Taxpayer Identification Numbers are deleted from the file by CUSG as soon as it is securely encrypted and are not stored on any third-party system or accessible by third party administrators. Information provided to CUSG by participating credit unions for Participating Members under the Save to Win® program (excluding accountholder’s Taxpayer Identification Numbers, names and addresses, but including each Participating Member’s state of residency and zip code) will be shared with Commonwealth for research purposes. Such information will not be shared with any other entity or used for any other purpose, unless an individual Participating Member has authorized disclosure of such information in writing to Commonwealth and any third parties, and only to extent of such authorization.

Decisions: By entering the Raffle, Participating Members agree to abide by and be bound by these Official Rules, as may be amended from time to time, and to accept the decisions of CUSG and the Credit Union as final.
