## Ineligible transactions 

Not all purchases made with your Stripe card qualify toward the 3,000 USD spend threshold. The following transactions are ineligible:

- Payments of any applicable fees or other charges assessed on your Stripe card.
- Cash-like transactions, including ATM transactions, money orders, or funding transactions.
- Transactions involving precious goods, including gemstones, watches, and jewelry, or high-risk resale transactions, including stamp and coin store transactions.

Ineligible transactions don’t count toward eligible Stripe card spend for this offer.

## Reward distribution 

Stripe deposits each reward into your financial account 30 days after you meet the corresponding reward threshold, subject to the terms of this offer. The payout appears as an electronic deposit.

For the card spend reward, you must have both a card account and a financial account open and in good standing at the time of each eligible card transaction and on the reward date. For all other rewards, your financial account must be open and in good standing on the reward date.

## Adjustments and negative balances 

Any returns, credits, or chargebacks related to otherwise eligible payment or card transactions reduce the payment or card spend eligible for the reward threshold.

## Forfeiture, misuse, and termination 

This offer has no cash or monetary value and doesn’t constitute your property until Stripe distributes the reward funds to your financial account on the reward date.

Without limiting other Stripe rights or remedies under any other agreement between you and Stripe, Stripe can disqualify you from this offer if Stripe determines, in its sole discretion, that you have engaged in misuse, abuse, fraud, or gaming of the Stripe services. This includes purchasing and returning items solely to meet the reward threshold or using cards for an impermissible purpose under the Stripe Issuing - Accountholder (United States) Terms or the Issuing Bank Terms.

## Program changes and notices 

Stripe can alter, change, or terminate this offer at any time and for any reason. You’re solely responsible for determining and paying any applicable tax liability related to receiving a reward.
