To obtain a CashWard you must use one of the payment cards you have registered at Local Flavor Participating Restaurants to pay for meals and beverages. Each Local Flavor Participating Restaurant may place CashWards offers on the site. If you (1) dine at a Participating Restaurant, (2) meet the terms of the offer described on the Local Flavor Website and (3) pay with one of your registered payment cards, you will be credited with a CashWard. The amount of the CashWard shall be the amount set forth in the Participating Restaurant’s Offer. A Participant may offer several different CashWards at any time. A CashWard may be offered for spending at least a certain amount, the number of visits to the Participating Restaurant, a first time visit or a Birthday Offer among other types of Offers. Initially, you must accumulate at least $ 20 of CashWards before they are loaded to a CashWards Card and the Card is issued to you. Thereafter, a minimum of $ 5 of new CashWards must be earned before the new CashWards are loaded to your Card. Loads will occur no less frequently than monthly, if earned and meet the minimum requirement.

- A CashWard may be offered for spending at least a certain amount, the number of visits to the Participating Restaurant, a first time visit or a Birthday Offer among other types of Offers.
- Other conditions for earning rewards (for example, building a minimum amount of benefits ($ 20 prior to issuing a CashWard Car) may be applicable. Information on the type, amount, limits and other conditions on rewards, as well as on current Participating Merchants, is posted on our Website. You are responsible for reviewing this information before you make a purchase at a Participating Merchant, as these details may change from time to time and may affect the rewards you receive.
- We provide mobile smart phone applications that you may use to get information about Local Flavor and the CashWards that are available at Participating Restaurants.

You should refer to the Website for limits and other conditions on rewards and the amount of rewards available for future dates.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New CashWards Card
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law (USA Patriot Act) requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. your Card will be issued by Palm Desert National Bank. The Card is considered to be like an account at that bank. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, Social Security Number and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask you to enter your driver's license state and number.
Using Your Card
Activation
You will need to activate your Card when you receive it. You may do this by calling 855-755-1500 and following the prompts Once your Card is activated you may use it immediately. You may also obtain the amount of the initial Available Funds under the transaction history on the website.
Expiration Date
The CashWards Card and the funds on the Card will expire three (3) years from its issue date as set forth on the front of the Card. If you are an active Local Flavor Member when the Card and funds expire, we will issue you a new CashWards Card once you have earned the minimum CashWard amount for issuing a new Card after the expiration of your previous CashWards Card. Your Card is a Prepaid Reward Card loaded initially with a specific value. The Card is not connected in any way to any other account.
How to Use Your Card
You may use your CashWards Card to obtain goods and services everywhere VISA Debit cards are accepted. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE CARD FOR UNAUTHORIZED PURCHASES OR TO EXCEED THE VALUE OF FUNDS AVAILABLE ON YOUR CARD. THERE IS NO CASH OR ATM ACCESS TO THE VALUE AVAILABLE ON THE CARD. There is no PIN Number for this Card and it is to be used with your signature only. The Card cannot be used to obtain cash, perform illegal transactions, or used for on-line gambling activity. For security and promotional reasons, we may limit the amount or numbers of transactions you can make on your Card. you do not have the right to stop payment on any transaction made with your Card. If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a internet, mail order or telephone purchases), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. If you attempt to use the Card when there are insufficient funds associated with it, the transaction will generally be declined. Nevertheless, if a transaction that exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card occurs due to a system malfunction or otherwise, you agree to remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees or charges. If you wish to use your Card for a purchase that is greater than the balance of the funds available on your Card, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Card and then you must arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. The merchant may require payment for the difference in cash rather than accepting another card, such as a credit or debit card. Some merchants may not accept these “split transactions”. If you fail to inform the merchant prior to completing the transaction, your Card is likely to be declined. If you commence a purchase and then change your mind and fail to make the purchase, after the merchant has already obtained an “authorization” for the transaction, the “authorization” may result in a temporary hold for that amount of funds for up to ten (10) days. Car and hotel authorizations may result in a temporary hold on funds up to thirty (30) days.
Loads and Reloads of the Card
The initial load and issuance of the Card will occur after you have accumulated at least $ 20 of CashWards. Thereafter, the Card will be loaded each time you have earned at least $ 5 of CashWards. Loads will occur no less than monthly unless you have not earned the minimum amount since the last load. The maximum initial load to the Card will be $ 150 and the maximum amount of any reload is $ 250. The Maximum amount allowed on the Card at any one time is $ 1,500.
You may not load the Card with your own funds.
