IMPORTANT CHOICE REWARDS MESSAGE
Staff at Austin Credit Union would like to remind you to NEVER disclose personal or financial information over the phone or on the Internet. There have been reports of a telephone scam where CHOICE REWARDS cardholders are receiving a phone call saying they won a free trip through the program. Never give out information such as date of birth, 3-digit security code, or mother's maiden name. It’s important to know that your Credit Union MasterCard provider will never call to ask for personal information like your credit card number, expiry number, PIN, or the security number on the back of your Card. If you receive a questionable call, please contact CUETS Customer Service at 1-800-561-7849.
However, there is a legit mail campaign where you can win a free companion ticket if you set up recurring payments with your Mastercard. CUETS will only contact you through direct mail with campaigns, never over the telephone.
