15. Why is my online banking login not working on this site?
Your user name and password for your account on this site are not the same as your login and password for online banking through your financial institution. We allow certificates from multiple accounts and multiple account holders to be deposited into a single rewards account so you can redeem for a gift faster (in other words, you can "pool" certificates in our program), so your checking account is not tied to your rewards account. Please create a new account and password for logging certificates and redeeming gift cards.
