4. COLLECTION OF POINTS:

 (a) General: Whenever a Member uses a Card in order to carry out a transaction at a Business, he will collect Points in the Cardholder’s Scheme Account.

It is clarified that the Member will collect Points when using his Card to make a payment, as follows:

• at a terminal (POS) used by the Business at its premises, provided that the terminal is supported by the Scheme, or
• through the internet when payment with the Card is carried out directly with the Business through its website, provided that sales through the website of the Business are expressly included in the Scheme.

It is further clarified that the following transactions will not collect Points in the Scheme Account:

• Card transactions at Businesses that are carried out through companies offering electronic payment services (e.g. PayPal), and
• Card transactions carried out through the internet when payment with the Card is carried out directly with the Business through its website, but sales through the website of the Business are not expressly included in the Scheme.

 (b) Collection of Points by using an Additional Card: The Points collected from carrying out transactions by using an Additional Card shall be collected in the Cardholder’s Scheme Account.

 (c) Collection of Points by using a Card issued under a joint account: The Points collected from carrying out transactions by making use of each Card issued under a joint account will be concentrated in the Scheme Account of the Cardholder who carries out the transaction by using the respective Card which is connected to the joint account.

 (d) Method of collection of Points: Points shall be collected at the time of carrying out the transaction at a Business when this is authorised by the Bank's system. The Points shall be credited in the Cardholder’s Scheme Account at the time that the Bank processes the transaction. If communication with the Points reward system was not made possible at the time of the transaction, the Points shall be collected and credited in the Cardholder’s Scheme Account at the time that the Bank processed the transaction. 

 The number of accumulated Points of Scheme Account cannot exceed 999.999 (value €9.999.99). In cases where the accumulated Points are close to reach this level, the Cardholder is encouraged to proceed with redemption.

 It is understood that the time of crediting the points in the Cardholder’s account differs according to the terminal used by the Business.  It is further understood that, the cardholder will not be able either to redeem points or benefit from any campaigns that may be applicable during that period by the Business, if the card is used at terminals that are not supported by the Scheme.

 (e) Calculation of Points: Points collected for each transaction carried out by using a Card at a Business shall be calculated on the basis of the agreement existing from time to time between the Business and the Bank. For instance, in Business A, for each €1 the client will win 5 points and consequently for a transaction worth €100, the client will win 500 Points. In Business B, for each €1 the client will win 3 points and consequently for a transaction worth €100, the client will win 300 Points. Provided that the Points collected by a Member for each transaction worth €1, may differ from Business to Business and/or from product to product and/or from service to service.

For more information regarding the Points being offered by each Business, please refer to the Bank's website as well as on the Scheme’s website (www.antamivi.com.cy)

 (f) Duration of Points: Points accumulated that are valid for a period up to four (4) years. For instance, Points accumulated in 2016, starting on the 01/01/2016 until the 31/12/2016, shall be valid until the 31/12/2019. Points accumulated in 2017, starting on the 01/01/2017 until the 31/12/2017, shall be valid until the 31/12/2020 etc.

 (g) Cancellation / Reversal of Transaction / Refund of the transaction amount by a Business: If for any reason a transaction or part of a transaction is cancelled or reversed or the transaction amount is fully or partially credited by the Business, the Bank shall reserve the right to deduct the Points from the Cardholder’s Scheme Account.

 (h) Additional Points: Additional Points shall be credited to the Cardholder’s Scheme Account after the completion of the promotion or campaign.

 (i) Interest Free Instalments: Card transactions to be carried out in interest-free instalments at Businesses shall not collect Points in the Scheme Account.

 (j) Special Discounts / Discount Coupons: Cards participating in the Scheme may benefit from special discounts and/or discount coupons to be offered by Businesses within the framework of special campaigns / promotions to be carried out through the Scheme. If at the same time special discounts and coupons are available by Businesses, the percentage and/or the value of the discount shall first be deducted from the initial amount of the transaction and then the value of the discount coupons shall be deducted. It is noted that part of the available discount that has not been used shall be transferred for use on future purchases until it expires.

5. REDEMPTION OF POINTS:

(a) General: A Member may redeem Points at a Business at the time of carrying out the transaction, provided that a Member shall have the right to redeem the full amount of the transaction or part thereof, in the event that the amount of the transaction is greater than the amount of the Points that have been collected. In this case the Member must redeem all of the Points accumulated in the Scheme Account and not part thereof. Provided that, where the amount of the transaction is less than the amount that has been accumulated by the Member, only the Points corresponding to the amount of the purchase shall be deducted and the remaining Points shall remain on the Cardholder’s Scheme Account. The Cardholder and the Authorised Cardholder shall have the right to redeem the Points, provided that the Cardholder has given his authorisation for this purpose by means of a relevant notice of authorization addressed to the Bank.
