Corporate Card Rewards Program Agreement

Last updated: October 18, 2021

Public Beta

This Corporate Card Rewards Program Agreement ("Agreement") sets out the terms under which you may earn and redeem Rewards in connection with your use of Eligible Services (defined below).

This Agreement is between Stripe and you. As used in this Agreement, "we""us" or "our" refers to Stripe. Unless otherwise indicated, "you" and "your" refers to the entity that is registered for a Stripe Account and uses one or more Eligible Services. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given in the Stripe Services Agreement.

By earning or redeeming Rewards, you agree to abide by all of the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all of the terms of this Agreement, you may not earn or redeem Rewards or otherwise participate in the Rewards Program.

The Rewards Program is available only in connection with the Stripe Corporate Card and Stripe Atlas (the "Eligible Services"). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Rewards Program is available to users of Eligible Services who may also use or receive other Services, such as Payment Processing Services. The Rewards Program is not presently available to any entity or person that does not use an Eligible Service. However, we may make the Rewards Program available in connection with other Services in the future.

This Agreement is organized into several sections:

  • Section 1 governs your eligibility to participate and your enrollment in the Rewards Program.
  • Sections 2 and 3 govern how you earn and redeem different types of Rewards.
  • Sections 4 governs our use of your Personal Data in connection with offering and delivering Rewards to you.
  • Section 5 provides additional terms relevant to our offer and delivery of Rewards to you and our management of the Rewards Program, including terms governing how we change this Agreement.

1. Eligibility to Participate in the Rewards Program.

1.1 Eligibility. In order to participate in the Rewards Program, your Stripe Account and your Card Program Account, as applicable, must at all times remain in good standing. We may suspend or terminate your participation in the Rewards Program if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Stripe Services Agreement. If you are a Card Program Accountholder, we may suspend or terminate your participation in the Rewards Program if you fail to pay your Account Statement on time or otherwise fail to comply with the terms of the Card Program Account Agreement. If you are a Stripe Atlas user, we may suspend or terminate your participation in the Rewards Program if you fail to comply with the terms of the Stripe Atlas Agreement.

1.2 Enrollment, Fees. You are automatically enrolled to participate in the Rewards Program by registering to use an Eligible Service. We do not charge any fees for your enrollment or participation.

2. Earning Cash Back Rewards.

2.1. Availability of Cash Back Rewards. Cash Back Rewards are available only in connection with the Stripe Corporate Card, and this Section 2 applies only to Card Program Accountholders.

2.2. Earning Cash Back Rewards. You will earn 1.5% cash back in the form of an Account Statement credit on all Charges for each Account Statement period.

2.3. Earning Cash Back Rewards Bonuses. In addition to the Cash Back Reward earning structure described above, we may from time to time offer opportunities for you to earn Bonuses in connection with Charges or other activity on your Card Program Account or Cards. If we offer Bonuses, we will provide you with the specific terms and conditions that govern the offer. Unless we tell you otherwise, a Bonus offer is inclusive of the Cash Back Reward offer described above. For example, if we offer a Bonus of 5% cash back on Charges at a particular merchant in the "Dining" Merchant Category, the 5% cash back you will earn in the form of an Account Statement credit on Charges at that merchant includes the 2% or 1% cash back you would ordinarily earn in the form of an Account Statement credit on Charges at that merchant under the Cash Back Rewards described above. You would not earn 5% cash back on Charges at the merchant in addition to the 2% or 1% cash back you would ordinarily earn on Charges at that merchant. We may change or eliminate Bonuses at any time.

2.4. Posting of Cash Back Rewards. In most cases, Account Statement credits for Cash Back Rewards will appear on the same Account Statement as the Charges for which you earned the Cash Back Rewards. In rare cases, Account Statement credits for Cash Back Rewards may appear on the next Account Statement after the Account Statement showing the Charges for which you earned the Cash Back Rewards. Cash Back Rewards and corresponding Account Statement credits that you earn on Charges may be net of applicable refunds, returns, and other Charge transaction reversals. If a Charge for which you earned Cash Back Rewards in a particular Account Statement period is the subject to a refund, return, or other Charge transaction reversal in a subsequent Account Statement period, we may withhold future Cash Back Rewards or post a debit entry on your Account Statement to satisfy the Account Statement credit we provided on the refunded, returned, or reversed Charge.

3. Earning and Redeeming Benefit Rewards.

3.1. Availability of Benefit Rewards, Earning Benefit Rewards. We may from time to time offer certain credits, discounts, or other benefits in connection with our Services or products or services of our Benefit Partners. Each such credit, discount, or benefit is referred to in this Agreement as a "Benefit Reward." Specific terms and conditions may apply to the availability of a Benefit Reward and how you earn the Benefit Reward. For example, certain Benefit Rewards may be available only in connection with a particular Eligible Service, while other Benefit Rewards may be available in connection with any Eligible Service. Similarly, certain Benefit Rewards may be earned only by completing certain actions in connection with an Eligible Service, such as completing a certain USD$ value of Charges on a Card Program Account or referring a person or entity who successfully registers for and uses Stripe Atlas. When we offer a Benefit Reward, we will provide you with the specific terms and conditions that govern availability of the Benefit Reward and how the Benefit Reward may be earned.

3.2. Redeeming Benefit Rewards. You may view your Benefit Reward offers, as well as options and instructions for how to redeem your Benefit Reward offers, on your Dashboard. Only your Administrator may redeem your Benefit Rewards. Dashboard users with view-only access and Authorized Users of Cards may not independently redeem your Benefit Rewards. Benefit Rewards have no cash value, but the value to you of a Benefit Reward may vary depending on how it may or must earned and redeemed.

3.3. Specific Redemption Terms. Specific terms and conditions may apply to redemption and fulfillment of a Benefit Reward. For example, certain Benefit Rewards may be redeemed via your Dashboard, while other Benefit Rewards must be redeemed directly with a Benefit Partner. Similarly, certain Benefit Rewards may be fulfilled by Stripe, while other Benefit Rewards may be fulfilled by a Benefit Partner. When we offer a Benefit Reward, we will provide you with the specific terms and conditions that govern how the Benefit Reward may be redeemed and fulfilled. Sometimes you will be required to affirmatively accept these terms and conditions when you redeem a Benefit Reward. Even if you are not required to do so, by redeeming or accepting fulfillment of a particular Benefit Reward, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the applicable terms and conditions for that Benefit Reward. Please carefully read all terms and conditions before redeeming a Benefit Reward.

3.4. Targeted Benefit Rewards. We and our Benefit Partners may in our respective discretion offer certain Benefit Rewards to a specific, targeted group of entities or people who use Eligible Services ("Targeted Benefit Rewards"). If we offer you a Targeted Benefit Reward, we will provide you with the terms and conditions that govern how the Targeted Benefit Reward may be earned and redeemed, as applicable. Your opportunity to redeem a Targeted Benefit Reward may depend on your compliance with the applicable terms and conditions.

3.5. Modification and Retirement of Benefit Rewards. We may modify the terms governing availability, earning, and redemption of any Benefit Reward at any time without notice to you. We also may retire any Benefit Reward at any time without notice to you. Availability of any particular Benefit Reward at any particular time is not guaranteed.
