Collins Community Credit Union is now offering a unique "buy local" program, available FREE to all CCCU members. With a simple swipe of your debit card, you can receive cash back each month for purchases you make at participating DebitDeals retailers.

It works like this:

• Local businesses provide you with a GiveBack (rebate) when you do business with them

• A portion of each GiveBack goes right back into your checking account at the end of the month

• A portion goes to a local charity of your choice

Currently over 75 local businesses are participating in the program. A list of participating merchants is available at www.debitdeals.com.  More retailers are being added every day, so be sure to check the website often.

To begin participating in the program, all you have to do is activate your card. Visit www.debitdeals.com and click on "Sign Up Now" and then "Register My Card."  Once you have registered your card, you can log in to the DebitDeals site at any time to view your transactions.

We strongly encourage you to support DebitDeals participating merchants whenever you can. Not only will you earn extra cash, but local charities will benefit as well. Good for you AND good for the community!
