- Description of the Programme.
- A. Convenience: The Programme allows you to request completion of a Western Union® Money Transfer transaction at Participating Agent locations (“Qualifying Transaction”) more conveniently. The Programme allows you to provide information about yourself each time you send or receive money via a Qualifying Transaction, which we will store electronically by means of a database, which will be managed by Western Union so that it will be available automatically at Participating Agent locations whenever you present your Card. The list of Participating Agent locations can be obtained by contacting the Western Union Membership Programme Customer Service Centre at 900 633 633 (free calls from fixed and public phones. Tariffs for mobile calls are set by your operator), or by contacting the Western Union Membership Programme, as set forth in Section 10 below. All money transfers that you initiate using the Programme are subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions applicable to Qualifying Transactions initiated at Participating Agent locations where you send/receive the money transfer (these terms and conditions appear on the “To Send Money” and “To Receive Money” forms available from Participating Agent locations). In order to use the Card and participate in the Programme, you must fulfill all requirements pursuant to law, together with Western Union Policy, to enable you to send/receive money transfers in a particular country.
- B. Rewards: The Programme enables you to earn points if you pay a transfer fee to send money for each Qualifying Transaction sent from Participating Agent locations (“Points”), as described herein. The required amount of the transaction for each point can be found in the Welcome Pack enclosed with these terms and conditions. In order to qualify for Points, you must: i) present your Card at the beginning of each Qualifying Transaction; ii) complete a fee paying Western Union transaction at a Participating Agent location; iii) if required by local laws, present current identification which bears the same name as the one you have provided in this Programme (and any other information required by the Participating Agent location); and iv) satisfy all other requirements of the Programme. Your Points will be added to your Card at the time each Qualifying Transaction is completed. Points are not earned when you receive money transfers. Effective as of 09-18-2023 you may no longer earn Points for each Qualifying Transaction. The current amount of the Points on your Card is available on request by contacting the Western Union Membership Programme as set forth below under Section 10.
