Upgrade Cash Rewards Program

Terms and Conditions

The Cash Rewards Program (“Program”) allows eligible Upgrade Card customers to earn cash rewards (“rewards”) as described below and subject to these Program Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) and the Cardholder Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference. These Terms and Conditions set forth the terms and conditions under which Upgrade, Inc. (“Upgrade” or “we”) makes the Program available to you, as a customer (“You”). 

By enrolling in the Program, You acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions:

  1. How You Earn Rewards. Earn rewards based on the percentage(s) provided in Your enrolled card program. You accrue rewards when You make payments on Your eligible card purchases with Your Upgrade Card (“Upgrade Card Balance”) and redeem rewards when they are applied to Your Upgrade Card balance.
  2. What Card Purchases are Eligible. For card purchases to be eligible, the transactions must have settled. Card purchases that are canceled, refunded, or that failed to process will not generate rewards. Other transactions that are not eligible include balance transfers; the purchase of checks, financial products, promotional merchandise, foreign currency, money orders, other monetary instruments, or similar; debt repayment; account funding; transactions executed for the sole purpose of transferring funds to another account maintained or controlled by the same consumer; or disputed or fraudulent transactions.
  3. Merchant Codes for Category Rewards. For enrolled card programs that are eligible for rewards for select categories, You can earn additional rewards for card purchases made in those categories. Merchants are assigned a merchant category code (MCC) based on their typical products and services. Upgrade does not assign MCCs to merchants but groups qualifying MCCs into certain categories, so purchases may not fall into the category where You might expect them to appear.
  4. Applying Rewards to Your Upgrade Card Balance. Rewards are redeemed once Upgrade applies those rewards to reduce Your outstanding Upgrade Card Balance. Upon accrual, rewards may be applied to Your Upgrade Card Balance after your next payment due date  at a time and manner determined in Upgrade’s sole discretion and subject to change. Rewards will reduce Your Upgrade Card Balance but do not otherwise reduce the amount of your regular monthly payments. For the avoidance of doubt, Your rewards under this Program are not redeemed unless and until they are applied to Your outstanding Upgrade Card Balance.
  5. Changes to the Program. Upgrade may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The revised version will be effective at the time it is posted on this webpage, provided that we will notify You of any change when required by applicable law. Please regularly check this webpage so You are aware of any changes. By continuing to use Your Upgrade Card, You thereby agree to such revised terms.
  6. Closing Your Account. To close Your Upgrade Card account, please contact 1-844-899-9931. If You or Cross River Bank closes Your Upgrade Card account for any reason, any unredeemed rewards will be forfeited.
  7. How You Could Lose Your Rewards. Upgrade may, in its sole discretion and consistent with the terms of the Cardholder Agreement, decline to allow You to accrue or redeem rewards.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UPGRADE PARTIES’ LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION REGARDLESS OF FORM WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU.


  1. Termination of Program. These Terms and Conditions are effective upon Your participation in the Program and will remain in effect until termination of Your related Cardholder Agreement and Personal Credit Line Agreement. Termination will not prejudice either Your or Upgrade’s remedies at law or in equity.
  2. Tax: Tax Documentation. You will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of the rewards. Please consult Your tax advisor.
