When you use Luminus Financial's Member Card® debit card for a purchase, you’re protected with the following benefits:

Buyer Protection

• This coverage offers protection on the purchase of most retail items – and that includes gifts!
• For a full 120 days after the purchase, the item is protected if it’s stolen, dropped and broken or even consumed in a fire.
• Making a purchase with a cheque? No problem! As long as the cheque is drawn on your insured account, you receive the same protection for your purchase.
• Valid claims will be satisfied either by replacing the stolen or damaged item, or by a cash payment in an amount that does not exceed the total purchase price.

Extended Warranty

The program doubles the warranty period of a purchased item up to two years, as long as the manufacturer’s warranty is valid in Canada for five years or less. For example, when you purchase a blender, the manufacturer would typically offer a one-year warranty. But, if you use your credit union debit card for the purchase, the blender would be protected under the terms of the original warranty for an additional one year period. Best of all, there are no applications and no extra costs! It’s all included with your Member Card®.

A unique benefit for credit union members!
