1 Points earned for every $1.50 Purchase is an approximation, depending on rounding. Specifically, to calculate the points that you earn for each eligible purchase, the amount of your purchase is multiplied by 0.67. We round up if the result is equal to an amount that ends in 0.50 or greater, and round down if the result is equal to an amount that ends in 0.49 or less. Then the rounded amount is multiplied by 2, which works out to about 2 points for every $1.50 eligible purchase. You will earn more points per $1.50 on eligible purchases made with a Shared Interest Visa Business card. Eligibility is based on the merchant code as classified in the Visa credit card network. Purchases made at merchants classified as: (1) Electronics/Computers, Peripherals, and Software; Office Supplies/Stationery, Printing and Writing Paper; Electronic; and Hardware/Garden Centers are “office supplies”; (ii) Local/Suburban Commuter Passenger Transportation – Railroads; and Transportation Services Not Elsewhere Classified are “public transit and ferries”; and (iii) Taxicabs and Limousines; Bus Lines; Automobile Parking Lots and Garages; Railroads; Passenger Railways are “taxis, bus, parking and rail”. Some merchants may sell these products/services or are separate merchants who are located on the premises of these merchants, but are classified by the Visa credit card network in another manner, in which case the accelerated earn rate will not apply.
