Classroom Cash is a rewards program enabling you to earn points when you make purchases using your Educational Community Alliance Credit union Classroom Cash debit card. These points can then be redeemed at point of sale with our Pay with Points program OR for cash back, gift cards, merchandise, and travel.
You earn points by making qualifying purchases using your Educational Community Alliance Credit Union debit card. You can earn even more points when you shop at participating retailers featured on the Classroom Cash site. For online purchases, be sure to click the “Shop Now” button corresponding with a particular offer. You will be redirected to the retailer’s site and can proceed to shop as usual.
You earn points everywhere in the United States your card is accepted.
It can take up to 60 days for your points to be credited to your account. To redeem your points, you may need to accumulate a minimum points threshold. Check the dashboard on the CardCampus homepage to see if you are eligible for redemption.
You can redeem your points at the point-of-sale with our Pay with Points program or online for cash back, event tickets, electronics, gift cards, hotel rooms, rental cars, airline tickets, and so much more. Browse the Redeem Points tab of the Classroom Cash site to see all the options available to you.
Classroom Cash is working with a variety of merchant and digital wallet partners. As we sign up those partners, you will have the opportunity to use points as payment method during checkout and use your Classroom Cash enrolled card for any residual balance after you use your points.
No, you cannot change the shipping address for a redemption from the address on file. This is to protect you against fraudulent use of your point. If you would like to change your address, please contact us.
Some redemption items can be returned and some cannot. To understand the various redemption policies and processes, please review the program Terms and Conditions.
Cash back redemptions are deposited in the account associated with the card with which you have logged into Classroom Cash.

It can take up to 60 days from transaction date (or 60 days after travel completion) for transactions to appear on the My Rewards tab. If points from a qualified transaction do not appear after 60 days, visit the Contact Us page to contact a member service representative.
If a merchant-funded offer is activated for one card on your account, it is activated for all cards on your account.
If your card is lost or stolen and a replacement is issued, points will be accessible by the new card, as long as it is on the same account. Once you receive your new card, you will not need to re-register on the Classroom Cash website. Simply log in as you do today and you will see the new card and current points balance.
Every effort is made to authenticate Classroom Cash participants. However, if you believe that you may have been the victim of fraud, you should immediately contact your financial institution so that an investigation can be undertaken.
