Consumer Accounts Only. All rewards will be calculated and issued per membership. Your Merit Rewards Program Level will be re-evaluated every month, based on the prior month, which means your level and rewards can change from month to month depending upon your overall relationship with us. You must be a member in good standing in accordance with our Consumer Account Disclosure and Deposit Agreement to be eligible. Members considered not in good standing, including members with a delinquent Meriwest loan, mortgage or credit card (over 30 days past due), will be disqualified from the Merit Rewards Program immediately until the Credit Union determines, in its sole discretion, whether a member is considered in good standing again.

Membership is required with a one-time non-refundable $5 fee.
