ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. and Chase Card Services, the credit-card division of JPMorgan Chase & Co., announced the launch of the enhanced Sheetz MasterCard with blink.
The card features a more robust rewards program called Sheetz Rewards, which includes the ability to earn everyday essentials, such as free gas, food and much more with every purchase, according to the company.
In 2005, the Sheetz MasterCard from Chase became the first co-branded credit card to feature blink, the easy-to-use, contactless payment method that [image-nocss] provides speed and convenience to cardmembers. With the card, Sheetz customers can enjoy an even more streamlined and convenient shopping experience and eliminate the need to sign their payment card receipts for all sales under $25.
In addition to fast, convenient shopping with blink and acceptance everywhere MasterCard PayPass is accepted today, Sheetz MasterCard cardmembers also earn:
a 10% rebate on all Sheetz purchases and 2% rebate for all other eligible purchases for the first 90 days the account is open; thereafter, a 3% rebate on all Sheetz purchases; a 2% rebate on groceries, travel and dining purchases; a 1% rebate on all other eligible purchases; these can be redeemed for $25 gift cards at leading retailers, including convenience-store chains, home-improvement stores, restaurants and more for every $25 in rewards accumulated.
With the Sheetz MasterCard, our customers always come out ahead, said Rich Steckroth, director of business development of Sheetz Inc. Not only do they have a faster, more efficient in-store experience, but they also earn rewards for essential, everyday items.
Chase is proud to partner with Sheetz, which has been an early adopter of contactless technology, said Donna Barrett, retail segment senior director, Chase Card Services. They share our belief that this card is a great way to reward loyal customers and provide them with a speedy, convenient shopping experience.
