Providian Real Rewards' is a new and different kind of rewards
program. It rewards cardholders for all the different ways they use
their card — making purchases, carrying a balance, and even paying on
time. And Real Rewards provides customers with a variety of ways to
redeem their reward points, including merchandise, restaurant discount
cards, airline travel, and even the ability to use points to lower the
APR on their account. More ways to earn points; more ways to redeem
points — it's that simple.
Interest Rewards is designed especially for cardholders who prefer
cash rewards for maintaining a balance. It allows customers to earn a 10
percent cash rebate on interest they've paid each year — a check is sent
automatically after their enrollment anniversary date.
Cash Rewards allows cardholders to earn a full 1 percent cash back
on all purchases made with their card. Checks are mailed automatically
after their enrollment anniversary date.
Travel Rewards is designed for people who love to see the sights.
Cardholders earn points for purchases — 1 point per dollar, redeemable
for discounts on air travel on all domestic and international airlines
(subject to availability) or for merchandise.
