To enroll from the full site, choose the checking account you want to enroll and click on the Debit Card Rewards sign up button in the upper right section of the Account Details page. From there, you can elect to earn rewards for you or a school.  

Note: Enrollment must be completed on each account to earn rewards. Rewards from multiple accounts are not combined but are applied to each individual account. 

 

Schools within MIDFLORIDA’s service area are eligible to participate. This includes accredited, non-profit public or private school that has a 501(c)(3) or 509(a)(1) tax-exempt status, kindergarten through high school. However, before the school can be activated to begin receiving donations, the principal of the school must agree to the Extra Credit effort.

Funds will accrue daily and paid annually in early December of each year, provided that the school’s balance of money earned reaches a minimum of $25. If the minimum is not met, the balance will carry over to the following year, up to a maximum of four payout periods. After four payout periods, if the school’s balance of money earned has not reached the minimum, the funds will be forfeited and the school will be removed from the Extra Credit program.

Call your school principal and tell him/her there’s an easy Extra Credit opportunity for your school. The principal can contact us for more information.

Yes, you may change the school that your debit card is attached to at any time.

To make a change, sign into Online Banking and select the checking account for the debit card you want to change programs for. Click on the Debit Card Rewards button at the top of the Account Details page and select Extra Credit for Schools to go through the school selection process. The change will take place within 24 hours and the new school you have selected will begin to earn credit. Any credit earned prior to changing your designation will remain with the school originally chosen.

Yes, the school principal can elect to cancel the program; however, the school will be required to wait until early December of each year to receive any money accrued for your school.

This is an important aspect of this program. The more people that participate, the more transactions are processed and the more money your school earns so you’re smart to want to make sure your staff, teachers and parents are participating.

We’ve come up with a few options but we’re open to suggestions if you have others. We can:

• Have a representative of MIDFLORIDA come speak at a PTA or other school related meeting or function to explain the program. (Fundraising is specifically for school use and donated funds cannot be contributed to a PTA or PTO.)
• Provide you with quarterly inserts designed to be sent home with the students to encourage parent participation.

You can only enroll your card to earn Extra Credit for one school at a time. Once one card on a checking account is enrolled into the program, all additional cards on the account will earn the Extra Credit reward for the same school.

The only way to enroll in the Extra Credit program is through free Online Banking. To be set up visit a branch or call MIDFLORIDA’s Help Desk at
