ORLANDO, Fla. — FAIRWINDS Credit Union is out to prove membership has its rewards with two new programs.

The credit union has recently re-launched its 2006 member loyalty program dubbed Relationship Rewards, where members earn points for interest paid on loans, dividends earned on deposit accounts, and for each year of membership. The points can be used to lower interest rates on loans, earn a higher rate on deposits, waive fees and reduce costs on insurance coverage.

A second loyalty promotion that members can take advantage of is the Member Referral Campaign that will run on a quarterly basis. The promotion is geared to encourage members to share the benefits of a FAIRWINDS membership with family and friends. For each new member that is referred, the existing member will receive a 500 point Relationship Reward bonus and be entered into a drawing for a pair of round-trip airfare tickets, courtesy of Airtran Airways.
