Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a winner, such entry will be deemed to be submitted by the primary accountholder of the Eligible Texans CU Account in question. Employees of Texans CU, members of the Board of Directors, its affiliates and their families residing in a single household are not eligible. Some restrictions may apply.

HOW TO ENTER: Between September 1, 2023 and September 30, 2023, each member will receive one (1) entry each time the member’s Texans Credit Union Visa® Debit Card is used to make a purchase. Entries from unauthorized card use or lost, stolen, or fraudulent debit cards are void.
