Key Features

• Earn Points on Every Purchase: Accumulate rewards points on purchases with a base earning rate that increases for specific categories such as travel, dining, and investment-related expenses.
• Tiered Rewards Structure: Benefit from elevated reward rates as your spending or assets under management grow, reflecting a relationship-based approach to rewarding loyalty.
• Flexible Redemption Options: Redeem points for cash back, statement credits, travel, gift cards, merchandise, or to offset brokerage and advisory fees.

How Rewards Are Earned

Rewards accrue automatically when you use your card for eligible purchases. Each dollar spent converts to points according to the card’s earning schedule. Typical earning mechanics include:

• Base earn rate for general purchases.
• Bonus earn rates for select merchant categories (e.g., travel, dining, business expenses).
• Accelerated earnings for clients with qualifying relationships, such as advisory clients or holders of qualifying Raymond James deposit products.

Points post to your rewards account on a regular cycle and appear in your online statement. Transactions that are returned or refunded may reduce your points balance accordingly.

Redemption Options

The Credit Card Reward program emphasizes flexibility. Redemption choices commonly include:

• Cash Back or Statement Credit: Convert points to cash value to reduce your card balance or deposit to a checking or brokerage account within Raymond James.
• Travel and Experiences: Use points to book flights, hotels, and other travel services or access curated experiences through the rewards portal.
• Investment Integration: Redeem rewards to offset advisory fees, fund an investment account, or purchase financial planning services.
• Gift Cards and Merchandise: Select from a catalogue of retail gift cards and products.

Redemption values vary by option; some redemptions may provide greater value per point. The rewards portal displays current conversion rates and any minimum redemption thresholds.

• Advanced fraud monitoring and real-time transaction alerts.
• Zero liability protection for unauthorized purchases.
• Secure online and mobile access to view transactions, track rewards, and manage redemptions.

Comprehensive statements, customizable alerts, and the ability to temporarily lock a card through digital channels help you maintain control and visibility over card usage.
