American
Express Gift Checks
American Express® Gift Cheques
are the better gift because they:
- Are refundable to either the purchaser
or the recipient if they’re lost or stolen, even if
lost in blank.
- Are special – cash is ordinary
and impersonal and it's often spent on everyday items. Personal
checks need to be deposited before spending. Gift Cheques
have a “keepsake” value.
- Can be used to buy practically anything.
Avoid the problems of guessing style, color, and size. The
people you love can buy the things they love.
- Are better than a store gift certificate
because they aren’t limited to certain stores and
they're great if you're unsure if a certain store is located
near the recipient’s home. Gift Cheques can be used
practically anywhere.
American Express Gift Cheques are available
in denominations of $25, $50, or $100. Gift Cheques come gift
wrapped in their own gold-foiled envelope with an elegant
card that purchasers can personalize. The fee is $2 per cheque.

American
Express Travelers Cheques
Every ten minutes, someone traveling
in America loses their cash. Don’t let lost cash turn
into a lost trip. It can happen to you. That vacation you
carefully planned and anxiously awaited could be ruined by
a pickpocket. Or a lost wallet. It’s that simple. And
that sudden. So whether you’re taking a quick weekend
getaway or a cross-country journey, don’t take chances.
Take American Express® Travelers Cheques; they’re
safer than cash. American Express Travelers Cheques mean peace
of mind. If they’re lost or stolen they can be replaced,
usually within 24 hours. Cash can’t. American Express
Travelers Cheques are accepted practically everywhere, including
hotels, shops and restaurants. And for your convenience, they’re
available in denominations of $20, $50 and $100. Pick them
up at your Credit Union before your next vacation. And return
with great vacation memories, not regret. We don’t charge
a fee for standard Cheques.
If you’re traveling with a companion, American Express
Cheques for Two are the perfect solution. Two travelers can
use the same Cheques – but only one needs to sign the
Cheques when using them. We charge a fee of only $1 per $100
of Cheques for Two.

Blood
Bank of Delmarva
Blood Bank of Delmarva is a non-profit
organization that provides over 100,000 units of blood each
year to hospitals in Delaware and on Maryland’s Eastern
Shore. Members receive coverage in exchange for their support.
If you would expect to use any of the hospitals supplied by
the Blood Bank for emergencies or planned surgery, you should
become a member and support the Blood Bank. Each year in our
area, over 20,000 patients need blood transfusions.
If you or anyone covered by your membership uses blood, at
any hospital that requires blood replacement, the Blood Bank
will replace it or pay the cost of replacing it. While health
insurance plans cover testing and processing fees, the cost
of blood itself is usually not covered. Non-members are billed
for any blood they use or may replace it pint for pint.
Blood Bank membership:
- Covers unlimited blood replacement
at any hospital in Delaware and throughout Maryland’s
Eastern Shore, including Cecil County.
- Is limited to $400 per hospital stay
at any other hospital in the United States.
- Includes the member, spouse and anyone
who can be claimed as a tax dependent.
- Coverage begins 30 days after your
enrollment form is received.
Members agree to take a turn providing
blood about once every 18-24 months. You don’t have
to give blood yourself; you can provide blood by either:
- giving blood yourself or
- having someone else give blood for
you or
- paying $30 (the cost of one pint of
blood).
Members also pay an
annual membership fee of $5 to help support the cost of operating
the Blood Bank, a non-profit organization. (For those age
65 and over, the fee is only $2 after the first year.) Membership
enrollment forms are available in the Credit Union lobby.

Tired of taking time to deposit your paycheck? Would you like
to have all of your pay available for immediate use on payday?
Now you can get your pay the safe and reliable way, using
Direct Deposit.
With Direct Deposit, your employer sends a credit to the Credit

account.
Direct Deposit is a safer way of getting
your pay, because your check can’t be lost or stolen.
Wherever you are on payday – traveling on business,
away on vacation or sick at home – your money is deposited
automatically.
Signing up for Direct Deposit is easy and free. Ask your employer
for a Direct Deposit authorization form today, and soon, you’ll
be getting your pay the safe and reliable way.
When completing the Direct Deposit authorization form, you'll
need to include the routing number for Perry Point Federal
Credit Union which is 2550 7774 9. You'll need to indicate
whether you want the money deposited into your savings or
checking account. When listing your account number on the
form, DO NOT include the two-digit suffix (i.e.: 01 for savings
or 02 for checking), as they are not necessary – use
only your four, five, or six-digit member number.

Used Car Sales
Imagine being able to find the right
used car, with all the right features, and then purchasing
it for just the right price. Now imagine being able to do

From selecting only their best cars to backing them up with
a generous 12-month/12,000 mile limited warranty, they’re

satisfaction, every Enterprise vehicle has passed a rigorous
109-point certification performed by a certified ASE technician.
To make driving home in an Enterprise vehicle as easy as possible,
they gladly accept your trade-in. After making up your mind,

in the unlikely event you do, they’ll gladly repurchase
your vehicle – no questions asked – for the exact
amount you paid minus a small cleaning and documentation fee.
For your continued driving pleasure, every Enterprise-Certified
vehicle is backed with a 12-month/12,000 mile limited powertrain
warranty. Flat tire? Lost key? Out of gas? No problem, because
your purchase includes their one-year Roadside Assistance

Guaranteed
Asset Protection (GAP)
You could lose more than your vehicle
if it is stolen or involved in a major accident. You could
lose your investment. Because most insurance policies only
cover the value of your vehicle – something that rapidly
declines during the first few years of ownership – your
loan balance could be higher than the value of your vehicle.
Now you can protect your vehicle with Guaranteed
Asset Protection (GAP). GAP is a non-insurance product and
is made available via a loan deficiency waiver that covers
the “gap” between the vehicle’s value and
the amount you still owe. Essentially, GAP protects you and
your entire investment from substantial loss.
GAP was designed for all drivers, whether you finance a new
or used vehicle. It covers automobiles, vans, light trucks
(not exceeding a 1 ton load capacity), and motorcycles. GAP
coverage goes into effect when you need it most – when
your vehicle is stolen and isn’t recovered or it is
totaled in an accident and can’t be repaired.
GAP covers the difference between your
primary carrier’s insurance settlement and the amount
of your loan, less any delinquent payments, late charges,
refundable service warranty contracts, and other insurance
related charges. Included in this difference is your insurance
deductible, which is limited to $1,000.
The following is a typical example of how
GAP comes through for you:
| Original purchase
price |
$25,000 |
| Loan balance after one year |
$20,000 |
Vehicle's
current value as
determined by your insurance company |
$16,000 |
|
GAP pays the difference (Including
your deductible, up to $1,000) |
$4,000 |
PLUS, if you finance a replacement
vehicle at our credit union within 90 days of when your vehicle
was determined to be a total loss, you’ll receive an
additional benefit of $1,000 to be used toward the purchase
of the replacement vehicle.
Your cost for this valuable coverage is
only $199. We can include the fee in your loan proceeds if
you don’t want to pay for it out of pocket. Our fee
is hundreds of dollars less than car dealers charge for similar
coverage (and they usually don’t offer the $1,000 replacement
vehicle benefit) so your credit union membership saves you
even more. Our GAP coverage is not available for vehicles
financed elsewhere, only for new and used vehicles financed
with us.

Payroll
Deduction
If you think saving money is too difficult,
we have the solution. Try payroll deduction. Most people feel
they don’t have the money to save. But financial advisors
say the best way to save is to pay yourself first, before
you have a chance to spend the money on something else. When
you sign up with your employer for payroll deduction, a portion
of your paycheck will be automatically sent to the Credit
Union and deposited into any account you desire – regular
savings, special savings, Christmas Club, Individual Retirement
Account, etc.
Consistent, regular savings are the
only kinds that add up. If you can only start with $10 a paycheck,
do that now. When you see how that works, you’ll find
yourself raising the deduction to $25, $50, or more over time.
With payroll deduction, your money starts working –
earning dividends – right away, instead of waiting until
you get around to making a deposit. That saves you time and,
over time, earns you even more money through the benefit of
compounding of dividends. The Credit Union does not charge
any fees to the member or their employer for using payroll
deduction.

U.
S. Savings Bond Purchase & Redemption
Getting what you want out of life
doesn’t have to mean putting your hard-earned money
at risk. U. S. Savings Bonds are a safe, easy way to save
money and a solid addition to your investment portfolio. Over
55 million people are taking advantage of Savings Bonds’
competitive rates. Whether you select Treasury’s new
I Bond or the Series EE Bond, your money is guaranteed to
grow and remain safe into the future.
Here are some great reasons to think about saving money with
U. S. Savings Bonds:
- Competitive – U. S. Savings Bonds
earn competitive rates of return compared to other forms
of saving. Interest on Savings Bonds accrues monthly and
compounds semi-annually.
- Safe – Savings Bonds are backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States. Your
Savings Bonds are registered, so the Treasury can replace
them if they’re lost, mutilated, or stolen.
- Affordable – For as little as
$25, you can start saving money with U. S. Savings Bonds.
From there, you can purchase as much as $15,000 worth of
Series EE Bonds and $30,000 of I Bonds each year.
- Convenient – Buy Savings Bonds
where you work, bank, online, or with the EasySaver Plan.
- Accessible – Savings Bonds are
easily redeemable, so if you need your money unexpectedly,
it’s right there for you. The longer you let your
bonds grow, the more you benefit, yet you can redeem them
any time after six months. (If redeemed before 5 years,
there is a 3-month loss of interest.)
- Tax Benefits – The interest earned
on Savings Bonds is exempt from all state and local income
taxes. Federal income taxes are deferred until the bonds
reach final maturity, or you redeem them, whichever is first.
If you qualify, using Savings Bonds to pay for qualified
higher education expenses may allow you to exclude your
earnings from federal income taxes as well.
Perry Point Federal
Credit Union is an authorized agent for selling and redeeming
U.S. Savings Bonds. We don't charge a fee for this service.

United
Buying Service
You have the opportunity to experience
personal car buying success with United Buying Service®
(UBS). In 1967 UBS began combining the purchasing power of
employee groups to negotiate below-market prices. Today UBS
is working with the Credit Union to provide a helpful and
hassle-free experience, offering virtually every model car
and truck at the lowest pre-negotiated prices.
Besides offering the UBS Official Price Book, your Credit
Union can help answer questions about current loan rates,
downpayment requirements and repayment options. UBS helps
by introducing you to a select dealership where a courteous
and professional UBS sales team uses the same UBS prices to
guarantee the lowest price on the car you want. With UBS,
you can receive discounted option pricing and extra savings
with rebates and incentives. They'll even audit your purchase
at your request to ensure you obtain the lowest price available.
When you call UBS, a professional, helpful voice will answer
the phone Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Your
advisor will ask you what vehicle you are interested in buying.
Then your advisor will give you your UBS certificate number,
the name of a trained and licensed UBS salesperson, and the
name of the UBS affiliated dealer. You can call UBS at (410)
792-9070 in the Baltimore area or (301) 657-1920 in the Washington
area. You can also visit UBS at www.ubs4cars.com.
