  1. ABOUT THE CARD

    The Card is a prepaid card that has been provided pursuant to a conditional offer, and as a gratuity without the payment of any monetary value or consideration. The Card allows you to access funds on the Card provided all conditions of the offer have been met. The funds accessible by use of the Card have been provided by and belong to the Corporate Sponsor of the product or service that you purchased, not by the issuer of the Card. The Corporate Sponsor is fully responsible for ensuring funds are available to be loaded to the Card. Your failure to activate and use the Card results in the loss of all right, title and interest in the Card and the underlying funds. You do not have the ability to add funds to the Card. The Card is not a gift card, nor is it intended to be used for gifting purposes. You should treat the Card with the same care as you would treat cash. The Card account does not constitute a checking or savings account and is not connected in any way to any other account you may have. The Card is not a credit card. You will not receive any interest on the funds in the Card account. You may register the Card by activating the card on www2.activaterewards.com/qrc or at anytime by calling (866) 691-4768.

  2. USING THE CARD

    a. Accessing Funds and Limitations

    Each time you use the Card, you represent and warrant to us that you are an authorized user of the Card. If you permit someone else to use the Card, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be responsible for any transactions made subject to such use. If the Card has not been registered or you do not supply the address currently on file for the Card, you may not be able to complete a transaction for which this information has been requested. If you wish to make a transaction where this is the case, you will need to contact Customer Service to register the Card.

    In no event may the Card be used to redeem cash or conduct illegal transactions. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on the Card. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement.

    b. Foreign Transactions

    Foreign Transaction Fee: If you obtain funds (or make a purchase) in a currency or country other than the currency or country in which the Card was issued ("Foreign Transaction"), the transaction will be converted to U.S. Dollars in accordance with the Currency Conversion process below.

    Currency Conversion: If you make a Foreign Transaction, the amount deducted from the funds will be converted by the network or card association that processes the transaction into an amount in the currency of the Card. Visa U.S.A. Inc. and MasterCard International Inc. currently use a conversion rate that is either: (i) selected from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets (which may vary from the rate the association itself receives), or (ii) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.

    c. Personal Identification Number ("PIN")

    You will receive a Personalized Identification Number ("PIN") You can retrieve your PIN by calling (866) 691-4768 CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AT ATMS AND CANNOT BE USED TO OBTAIN CASH IN ANY PURCHASE TRANSACTION. You should not write or keep the PIN with the Card. Never share the PIN with anyone and do not enter the PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If you believe that there has been unauthorized access to the PIN, you should advise us immediately, following the procedures in the section labeled "Unauthorized Transactions".

    d. Obtaining Card Balance Information

    You should keep track of the amount of value loaded on the Card. You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining in the Card account at no charge by contacting Customer Service. This information, along with a 60-day history of account transactions, is also available online by visiting our Website. You also have the right to obtain a sixty (60) day written history of account transactions by contacting Customer Service.

    e. Authorization Holds

    You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of the Card. With certain types of purchases (such as those made at restaurants, hotels, or similar purchases), the Card may be "preauthorized" for an amount greater than the transaction amount to cover gratuity or incidental expenses. Any preauthorization amount will place a "hold" on the available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. During this time, you will not have access to preauthorized amounts. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds.

    f. Returns and Refunds

    If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with the Card, the return and refund will be handled by the merchant. If the merchant credits the Card, the credit may not be immediately available. While merchant refunds post as soon as they are received, please note that we have no control over when a merchant sends a credit transaction and the refund may not be available for a number of days after the date the refund transaction occurs.

    g. Receipts

    You may wish to retain receipts as a record of transactions. Receipts will be required if you need to verify a transaction.

    h. Split Transactions and other uses

    If there are not enough funds available in the Card account, you may be able to instruct the merchant to charge a part of the purchase to the Card and pay the remaining amount with another form of payment. These are called "split transactions." Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions. Some merchants will only allow you to do a split transaction if you pay the remaining amount in cash.
