See how GTE is revolutionizing Rewards Programs
There are lots of reasons why people choose GTE Financial over a big bank, and now we’re giving you even more reasons with our industry-leading rewards program, Go Points. With Go Points, you can earn points for everything you do at GTE, then redeem them for cash back, gift cards, and paying with points for credit card purchases. It's also completely free!
Now YOU can earn REWARDS POINTS with nearly all of GTE’s products like your checking account, credit card, account services, and even loans. Points are worth a penny each, so 100 points are worth $1.00!
Check out the Go Points Guide to learn all the ways you can rack up points!
1x! 2x! 3x!!! What are you going to do with all those points? There are lots of ways to turn them into stuff. Redeem points for cash back, gift cards, and more. Plus, you can use your available Go Points to pay for qualified credit card purchases, right in the GTE Mobile app.
To access Go Points, simply login to Online Banking and click Go Points under Rewards. If you are a GTE Member and have a Checking Account, Direct Consumer Loan or Home Loan, you are automatically eligible to use the Go Points program!

Absolutely! See above. They will have a 60-day expiration date.
The answer is no. All your points will be automatically pooled together into one big bucket! So, whether you earn points with your Debit Card, Credit Card or with a home loan, they will all be instantly combined. The member will not have to take any additional steps and fill out a form to link points.
The best thing ever! GTE Go Points is GTE’s newest loyalty program launched in July of 2017. It’s built to reward our amazing members for all of the great products and services they use, even beyond credit card purchases. There’s more ways that you can earn points and there’s more benefits that you can redeem for.
No, you can't buy points. There is only one example of using points + cash on an item. Ex.: You want to purchase an airline ticket but don't have enough points to cover the point total. You can use all of your points and then pay the remainder with cash.
One of the best things about GTE Go Points is that all members will be eligible to participate (you must be 16 years or older and be in good standing). Now, all 250,000+ of our members are able to earn points for GTE activities as well as products and services.
Yes. Points do expire. Great news is, the Go Points website within Online Banking will always keep you updated on what points expire when! Points will expire 3 years after they are earned.
Points are deducted from your account for redemptions using first in, first out. Your oldest points which expire sooner, will be redeemed first.
Great question! And, the big answer is...not at all. GTE Go Points is free to members. It's our way of saying thank you for using GTE as your primary financial institution. As a not-for-profit credit union, the more members who use our products and services, the more value we can return to the cooperative! It's what makes being a credit union so different than a big bank.
We have noticed that a few members with pop-up blockers or ad-blockers sometimes have issues registering the first time they try to join Go Points, and therefore may need to disable pop-up blockers in their browser in order to register. After registration, pop-up blockers may be re-enabled without any issues.
The primary reason for Go Points is to provide members more ways to earn and spend rewards points and more ways use their credit union's products and services. With GTE Go Points, we will have expanded the ways members can earn to include things like loans, enrolling in account features and more! Check out the Go Points home page for more info.
Yes! With Go Points, cash back is available for redemptions as low as $25 (2,500 points).
You get points for making everyday purchases, opening GTE products, and tons of other ways! Once you have points, you can redeem and spend in the new rewards program.
